Tomorrow night, president obama will deliver his first state of the Union Address of his second term. Jamie dupree joins us via skype. What are you hearing about the focus of the president s state of the Union Address . Reporter the basic line out of officials from the white house the last couple of days has been that the president will focus on economic issues, job and the economy, still at the top of the list. But, of course, i would think, tori, that he will talk about a number of very detailed items like the ideas of gun and gun violence in the wake of the newtown, connecticut shootings, Immigration Reform issues and the budget cuts coming up on march march 1,the focus the march 1st. The focus the white house is saying the argument will be on economic issues. Well see what happens tomorrow night. Do you expect he will set a more conciliatory tone with republicans or will he still have that aggression tone at the inauguration address . Reporter weve seen some reports of it it will be more aggressive. I guess theres two ways to look at it. Right now, the republicans are basically saying we dont want to do x, y, and z, when it comes to the budget items and the reform and the issues on gun and gun control. So you could look at it two ways. The president probably has to sort of tread a fine line in a tense, tori, while urging action in the congress. He doesnt want to come april cross so negatively that it hurts overall across so negativity that it hurts overall. Well see what sort of mix of ingredients they come up with tomorrow night. But judging, i have to say, tori, from the number of people, including in, who will be bringing a guess, to the state of the Union Address victims of relatives of people who have observed gun violence, it looks like democrats will be on the move on that issue and i would assume others as well. Even just today we had the shooting at courthouse in delaware that where a man is accused of shooting his wife. So its still gun control issues, still very much in the forefront. Reporter i expect the president to talk about that. In his inaugural address, he made a passing revs to gun violence. Didnt really talk about it. One would think with the hearing tomorrow on the issue, that democrats will be fully ready to bring that up and i would fully expect the president to do the same tomorrow night. All right. Thank you.

There are been reports of his Ailing Health and right around the time of his election in 2005, Pope Benedict hoped to retire and spend more time writing books. Hes a highly regarded scholar in theology. That was shot down basically by Pope John Paul ii. Now, Pope Benedict told vatican cardinals that he didnt have the strength to go on. People we spoke to this morning said all of the other popes except one have died in office. Why couldnt he . But others were sympathetic.

Hes concerned about chang and the other two owners safety and asked that tonights Town Council Meeting be postponed but i just went and spoke to somebody inside town hall and they confirmed that the meeting will be going on tonight to allow people to voice their tone on templar sports and the sale of firearms in los gatos. Most of the people we spoke to were actually in support of the store. This is what one person had to say about the threat and the store. Violence. It makes no sense. This is i think this speaks of the level of passion people have in this town for keeping it safe. People can always have the attitude, you know, not in my town, not in my town. But it doesnt make sense in this town. Reporter the town is looking to see whether it needs to tighten policies on gun stores and require conditional use permits an i. D. Checks on the sale of firearms and ammunition. It doesnt appear that any policy that los gatos may make will impact templar sports. It will only affect it if the store expands and with affect any gun store operator that would operate in los gatos.
