Transcripts For KNTV Today In The Bay 20180106

Vianey, thanks. Well, it was a night of tears and drama on the ice and some bad blood off of the ice. We are live at the u. S. Figure skating championships in san jose where the womens olympic team was just announced. The Team Includes fremont native cocai karen chen along with mirai nagasu and bradie tennell. Today in the bays Garvin Thomas has our exclusive coverage. You were at that announcement this morning. Take us through it. Reporter well, kira, figure skating has a reputation for having a lot of drama attached to it and throughout this u. S. Championship, that has been no exception, leading right up to that announcement this morning. Of course, the focus around here is on karen chen, who came in third in the figure skating in the competition, which didnt necessarily guarantee her a spot on the olympic team. She did not know about that until 11 30 last night. She said she got a text message letting her know she was being nominated to the u. S. Team. She said she literally screamed at the moment. Her mom was in the room with her and she said she was just tears started flowing. It was something she has dreamed about ever since she was a little girl. Heres what she had to say about making the olympic team on the today show this morning. Im just so ready to soak in the experience and to just enjoy it all since its my first time. I think we have a great shot. Were all very strong, and weve got this. Reporter okay, now, of course, lets talk about some of the controversy that always seems to come with this. It involved the woman who finished in fourth place, Ashley Wagner, perhaps the most famous of the skaters going into this competition. Her scores werent there, and after the program, she frankly, she ripped the judges, saying she was furious, thinking they did not score her as well as she should have been scored, and she deserved to be on the team. Were going to share more about what she said coming up at 7 30 this morning, but of course, i had to ask karen about that this morning, about what she thought, and karen very diplomatically said she thought she did everything she could, and she deserved to be where she is. Of course, another bit of information we learned from karen, after she skated last night, was the fact that she had been sick after the short competition on wednesday. She said she went to bed and she couldnt sleep and she came down with a virus that had her in bed for much of the die before tay competition, so she was very proud of herself that she was able to get up the energy to do the free skate. Talking to her this morning, getting up early for the today show announcement, she is basically exhausted this morning. Yeah, i can imagine. And she should be proud of herself, like you said, for resting and still making it on the olympic team after being sick. Just incredible. Garvin, thanks for that. Well check in with you again at 7 30. And garvin did make our olympic team. Hes headed to the south korea for the u. S. , for us, you can follow his reports nightly on nbc bay area. Hell also be posting behind the scenes videos and photos on our social media sites. New this morning, San Francisco will begin selling Recreational Marijuana. The state issued licenses to a handful of city dispensaries just last night. That means sales to adults 21 and older will begin in just a few hours from now. Store operators say theyre anticipating getting a lot of new customers. One shop in the mission, medithrive, tells us theyre stocked up and fully staffed. We did the best that we could with funds that we have and relationships that we have to make sure we have enough inventory for everybody. Recreational marijuana became legal in california january 1st, but the San Francisco board of supervisors didnt approve regulations for sales until last month so that postponed sales of recreational pot in the city. At this point, seven San Francisco dispensaries are licensed by the state. Several more are awaiting approval. The man acquitted of killing kate steinle was sentenced yesterday to three years in prison for possession of a gun. That is the only charge the jury found him guilty of in november. The undocumented immigrant received the maximum threeyear sentence, which he had already served awaiting trial. But hes not a free man. Garcia now faces federal charges of illegal weapon possession and that could land him in prison for ten years. Hell find out next week. His legal team is gearing up for that fight as well as working to appeal this conviction. Acting San Francisco mayor london breed officially announced she wants that job permanently. Breed announced yesterday she will run for mayor in the june election. Because she was president of the sf board of supervisors, breed became acting mayor after mayor ed lees unexpected death last month. I decided that after careful consideration, and just taking all of the things that ive been thinking about over the years and the work that ive done in the city, that, yes, im going to do it. Im going to run for mayor. And im excited. Yesterday, breed spoke with reporters at a Community Cleanup at a San Francisco playground. She says she felt inspired since becoming acting mayor. Breed joins a very crowded field, including former state senator mark leno, supervisor jane kim, and former supervisor angela alioto. Whose father was mayor. City attorney Dennis Herrera also is considering a run, along with assemblyman david chiu. The special election is june 5th. A san jose man is behind bars, accused of sexually assaulting and robbing a teacher inside her classroom. 23yearold andrew walked on to the campus at Harker Middle School tuesday morning, assaulted and robbed a teacher inside her classroom as she prepared for the day. About an hour before students would arrive to school. The victim said that the suspect walked into the classroom where she was alone, locked the door, and turned off the lights. He lives about a half a mile from the school. He was arrested thursday night in San Francisco after police say he had cut his hair and tried to disguise himself. The vallejo man who pleaded guilty to starting a fire that killed his son and exgirlfriend will never get out of prison. Hes been sentenced to two consecutive life terms.

Well, the book was released four days early, but getting your hands on a copy is the real challenge. Fire and fury is hard to come by, sold out just about everywhere you look. But today in the bays Sergio Quintana has more on the tellall book all about the Trump White House. Reporter there they are, copies of fire and fury by journalist Michael Wolff. You can see theyre wrapped and ready to go to customers that reserved each one chblt its been quite hectic with the phone calls coming in. The reservations for the book, we had 63 this morning at 9 00 and we are currently out. Reporter this is not the only place thats sold out. Books across the koush asouth b down to santa cruz are sold out and on back order. Whens the last time you had a run on a book like this . Probably harry potter. Reporter much of what author Michael Wolff documents has already been covered by several News Agencies by nbc bay area political analyst larry gersen says this book brings it all together in one digestible package. The president s idiosyncrasies, for example, the power struggles, the extent to which there may have been conspiracy, obstruction of justice questions. People dont like to throw those things out directly but this book puts all of those things together. Reporter some of the more explosive excerpts have already flooded social media. Adam schiff has even tweeted out a request for someone quoted in the book to testify before the u. S. House intelligence committee. The white house has pushed back. President donald trump tweeted, saying it was full of lies, misrepresentations, and sources that dont exist. Sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. Well, at 7 12, we have much more ahead on today in the bay. Coming up. I believe so. San franciscos 911 dispatch was flooded with phone calls following the earthquake. Now an Important Message to the public. And weve got that fog rolling on in, in San Francisco. Yeah, expect to see that patchy fog become a little bit more dense. Were still tracking the possibility of lingering showers off to the south but looking forward to the atmosphere river. Ill have more details after the break. Welcome back. Its almost 7 15 on this first saturday of 2018. Clouds covering the bay as we look at the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco. It will be pretty dry this weekend, and vianey arana says we should enjoy it while it lasts, because we have big rain headed our way. Someone this morning is 450 million richer, and that someone bought a Mega Millions ticket in florida with the lucky numbers 28, 30, 39, 59, 70, and the mega number 10. That luck, though, reached someone in the bay area in daly city. That person bought a ticket here at the 7 eleven on geler avenue. They got five out of the six numbers, winning 1. 8 million. Thats very good. So, yeah. Im kind of speechless right now. Its crazy im excited for the person who won. We know were not winners here. Now to the powerball. That drawing is tonight. Its worth 570 million and its growing. Some new insight now into the earthquake that rattled the bay area early thursday morning, not surprisingly, 911 was inundated with calls. Was that an earthquake . San francisco emergency operators received 120 calls in the first hour after the quake. Typically around that time, theyd get about 15 calls. The issue here is that most of those calls were simply people asking if there had been an earthquake. City officials are urging San Francisco residents to call 311 in the future to find out if there was, indeed, a quake. 911 is for true emergencies. All right. Now to the deep freeze. Temperatures are plunging across much of the east. Last night, slowing efforts to clean up from thursdays powerful blizzard. Those along the coast have an especially tough road to recovery because of the record storm surge. The blast of arctic air has more than 120 million americans under windchill watches, warnings, and advisories for this weekend. Very cold. This goes right through you. The worst thing that you can have following a storm like this is extremely low temperatures. The bright spot in all of this, if there is one, is there are far fewer Power Outages than anticipated, meaning most people should at least have heat during this brutal weekend. At 7 17, now is a good time to check in with vianey arana for our weekend forecast. Looking at that sure makes us thankful we dont live in boston anymore. Right . And theyre actually expecting possibly even a colder morning tomorrow, so theyre not in the clear just yet. Yeah. As far as us, though, were only expecting a cool afternoon and our temperatures are actually warmer in the mornings than they were supposed to be. So, were on the warmer side of this storm system that we saw move in, bring a little bit of rain earlier this week, but its a warmer system, and thats also why the sierra didnt really get to see the benefits of any snow from this system. But right now, if youre waking up, one thing youre going to notice rolling in is a little bit more of that cloud cover and yes, the fog. 52 degrees in the peninsula. South bay 54 at this hour. Trivalley, 49 degrees, and look at San Francisco. Really showcasing that Early Morning fog, expected to roll in pretty dense in the east bay as well at 50 degrees and there goes my north bay camera. There is also fog in the north bay. Now, as far as the rain goes, we saw that cold front move in overnight, and now we have two interacting systems so whats happening is were seeing the majority of that rain that kind of lingered overnight and into the Early Morning hours kind of now further off to the south. You can see it here on our live radar. San jose got a little bit more rain. I saw some driving into work this morning. Santa cruz and the monterey area still seeing some of those showers but you can see this system kind of trek out of the area off toward the modesto area and the stockton area. What can you expect over the next couple hours . If you notice, fast forwarding through that Early Morning fog once it burns off by about 5 30 p. M. , the a. M. Lingering showers will burn off nicely and all that will be left behind is mostly clear skies and cooler afternoon temperatures. So, by the afternoon, all is looking well. Looking ahead toward sunday, also looking equally as gorgeous, so sundays going to be a great day, but we do have some big changes on the way and its on the form of an Atmospheric River. Lets talk about your microclimate highs for today. San jose will be reaching a high of 60 degrees, east san jose, 59, milpitas, 57 and for the east bay, upper 50s and 60s so a little bit cooler than what we saw earlier this week. Some parts even reached the 70s. In san jose, they did see a 70 high on thursday. Now, along the peninsula, 55 degrees for daly city, San Francisco also expected to see upper 50s and for the north bay, upper 50s, and lower 60s. Lets talk about that Atmospheric River. A quick look at the outlook, you can see by 10 30 t majority of the storm system makes its exit from the bay area. If i fast forward through monday, that Early Morning commute on monday is going to be an absolute mess. Please be careful. This is a good time to get your tires checked. And of course those windshield wipers because it is going to be a complete washout on monday, even into tuesday, so its going to be two days of Atmospheric River really brings its way in, anywhere from 1 to inches 2 inc rain is expected by the time the storm makes its exit. In addition to the rain, we are expecting this to be a wind event so expect to be under a microclimate weather alert, gusts between 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour as we head into the start of the workweek. So really enjoy this monday, because its going to be a messy commute out there. Good warning, vianey. It is 7 20. Still ahead on today in the bay, making money on marijuana without growing it. How new startups are benefitting from Recreational Marijuana now being legal in california. With the legalization of recreational marijua. Welcome back. California ushers in 2018 with the legalization of Recreational Marijuana and billions of dollars are on the line. All sorts of businesses are springing up and some entrepreneurs from tech to beauty to food are coming up with other pot startups that dont rely on growing nor selling the plant itself. Nbcs Jacob Soboroff explains. Reporter with cannabis now legalized in california, lines like this one are forming at dispensaries all over the state. But businesses are now starting to spring up that do a lot more than just sell people weed to smoke. It looks like you guys probably have, what, 100 drivers in the field right now. Usually on a day like this, theres 100 to 200 drivers. Reporter it turns out to operator a marijuana startup, you dont need any pot. Users download our app and then shop and then Delivery Driver will arrive on average in around 20 po 30 minutes.

You always want to make sure the customer is having a great experience, no matter what. Reporter when you left your job at u. P. S.

Reporter as we were talking across the street, there is a u. P. S. Delivery truck. Theres two of them right there. Do you see a day when theres going to be eaze delivery trucks of that size driving around the state of california . Definitely. Reporter in San Francisco, Scott Peabody and monica operate a cannabis catering business from her house and post their recipes online. This is the crushed cannabis that i have. Put in there and its been simmering in here for about four hours already. Reporter the amount that you use depends on how high you want to get . Yep. Reporter monica and scott hope to capitalize both on legal pot and the growing ranks of foodies. With california where we have so much innovation and so much a focus on food, i think were going to see tons of cannabisrelated cuisine. Usually, it was cookies and brownies but how many of those can you eat . If you want to incorporate it into your daily life, it should extend some more healthy options. Reporter are we going to see jamba juice with cannabis one day . Ed love that. Reporter in los angeles, you can get a legal manicure, pedicure that doesnt get you high but incorporates cbd oil, a compound in cannabis. I, of course, had to try one. Here we go. No turning back now. What do most people say to you about getting this . Very relaxing. Reporter very relaxing. That was pretty good, actually. Some of the salons regular customers were curious about the treatment i got. Can i ask you a question . Do you smoke pot . No. Reporter so would you do this even though you dont smoke pot . Yes, because yes. I like the tingly feeling. Reporter you like the tingly feeling. In californias booming Legal Marijuana economy, theres something for anyone whos interested, at least for now. That was Jacob Soboroff reporting. California already has received hundreds of applications for new cannabisrelated businesses, but one challenge is, if and when these Companies Make money, is where can they keep it . So far, less than 5 of federally chartered banks will do business with them because marijuana is still illegal nationwide. It is just shy of 7 27. Much more ahead on today in the bay.

The first saturday of 2018, were taking a live look outside at cloudy skies over san rafael. Looks nice, though, you know . No pouring rain, even though we need the rain. Were well take a nice break from it and enjoy a fairly dry weekend while it lasts. Thanks so much for joining us. Im kira klapper. Vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast, and i say while it lasts because its coming. You say come monday its going to be a washout. So start breaking out the rain boots, the umbrellas, check your vehicles for safety, the tires, all of that. Now right now, the thing that were starting to notice the most, if youre just now waking up, good morning. And you know, you probably need the overnight rain but the lingering showers are now far off to the south of us, so you know, still expect to see some rain in monterey but that system is moving east. What youre going to notice this morning now is the fog starting to roll in. You can see it really, really there in San Francisco. 51 degrees right now. East bay, 49. And north bay at 39 degrees. But i want to show you a travel comparison. If you are planning to travel this weekend, look at where we are compared to the rest of the nation. Now, in portland and seattle, in the 40s, which is actually where were typically supposed to be at in some parts here in the bay area, but if you know the east coast is really dealing with that biting cold. I mean, look at cleveland. 10 degrees. And even in chicago, 14 degrees, but that doesnt even incorporate the windchill, which is below. So, you know, yes, kira, were very lucky that we live in california. Now, we do have some big changes for us in the bay area, all in the form of Atmospheric River. Weve got muchneeded rain on the way but its going to be a lot. So you need to tune in, in the next 15 minutes. We hear that and go rain, dangerous driving, but that map of the country gives us good perspective. Vianey, thanks. Now to a night of big drama on and off the ice at the u. S. Figure skating championships in san jose, where the womens olympic team was announced. The Team Includes fremont native karen chen, mirai nagasu, and bradie tennell. Today in the bays Garvin Thomas is live at the s. A. P. Center with our exclusive coverage from inside. Garvin, you not only have the Olympic Team Announcement from this morning but you have an interview with the shoein who didnt make the team. Reporter thats right. And lets start with the good news, and the good news for us in the bay area, of course, is that karen chen is going to the olympic games, the fremont native, she finished third in last nights competition. It made the performance the performance made even more remarkable by the fact she told us later that she had a virus and she was so sick, she could barely get out of bed the day before, but she rallied, and she put it out all on the ice and she made the olympic team. Now, to the controversy you were talking about. Ashley wagner, perhaps the most famous of the skaters last night, the face of the sport in the country, well, she skated and came off the ice and didnt feel like the judges had scored her properly. Particularly her artistic or the component side of the program, not so much the technical. She thought in both the Short Program and the long program, she didnt get the scores she deserved. She walked off the ice. She was very upset. Heres what she had to say just moments after coming off the ice last night. Im furious. I am absolutely furious. I know when i go and i lay it down and i absolutely left one jump on the table, but for me to put out two programs that i did at this competition, as solid as i skate and had to get those scores, i am furious, and i think deservedly so. I am a performer, and that second mark is just not there, and you know, i am absolutely okay with them being strict on my rotations. Thats what i think the u. S. Figure skating should demand on their judges but you know, it needs to be across the board. And i dont necessarily feel like its been that way at this event, so well see how things pan out. Reporter now, with this competition, of course, the first three dont automatically get into the olympics so there was a chance up until the announcement this morning that Ashley Wagner would have been put on the team, and that would have bumped karen chen off, but a of course that didnt happen and karen chen is going to go to pyeongcha pyeongchang. She told us she got a text message at 11 30 last night letting her know she had been nominated to the team. She said she immediately screamed with her mother in the room, and burst into tears. She said this is the culmination, this is everything she had dreamed about for years, all coming true in that moment. Okay. So, what does she do now . The first thing karen is going to do is get some sleep. It was a late night, and an Early Morning, but then shes got to start thinking about how shes going to train for the next month because she has a very big performance coming up in february in south korea. She deserves that rest, garvin. Thanks so much for that report. And garvin, by the way, is headed to south korea for us. You can follow his reports nightly right here on nbc bay area. Hell also be posting behind the scenes photos and videos to all of our social media pages. In other news now this morning, San Francisco will begin selling Recreational Marijuana.

We definitely did the best that we could with the funds that we had and the relationships that we had. To make sure that we have enough inventory for everybody. Recreational marijuana, of course, became legal in our state on january 1st, but the San Francisco board of supervisors didnt approve regulations for sales until last month. So, that postponed sales in the city until january 5th. Yesterday. At this point, seven city dispensaries are licensed by the state. Several more are awaiting approval. Now to a story weve been following for years. The beating death of michael caught National Attention back in 2015.

Reporter the three accused Santa Clara County jail deputies were together in court in june last year when they were convicted of murdering a mentally ill inmate, and they were together again when the judge sentenced them to the maximum sentence of 15 years to life in state prison. This sentence is a just sentence. It protects and serves our community. Reporter that was also the sentiment of his sister, shannon, who came to the bay area in september 2015 to claim her brothers ashes a month after he was killed. She made reference to it during a victim Statement Read by prosecutor matt braker when she was emotionally devastated, knowing ashes were all she had left of her brother. Shannon couldnt get to the bay area because of the east coast snowstorms but i talked to her by phone about todays sentencing. I have some relief. It doesnt bring him back. It doesnt change anything. But its justice for him. Reporter sheriff laurie smith expressed sympathy to all families involved and said, michael tyrees legacy will include how jails operate. I think its an improved system. I think jails around the nation are paying attention to whats happening in Santa Clara County and the progress that were making. I think it will be a legacy of transformation. Reporter shannon says she hopes so. Could have a chance of saving other lives in jails. And you know, that would be something for michaels death to have that kind of meaning.

Were expecting some pretty heavy downpours throughout the entire bay area that will carry over into tuesday.

Over the next couple of days, well see the chance of that rain but the biggest impact is going to be monday and tuesday. And anywhere between 1 to 2 inches of rain and yes its also going to be a possible wind event. As we head into monday, heavy rain with gusts between 20 and 40 Miles Per Hour.

Reporter weve learned that investigators recently seized Kaiser Hospital records in the death of quach who led his family to daly city when they fled vietnam four decades ago. The way that he went, you know, its just it just tore my family apart. Theyre just heartbroken. Reporter grandson kevin tran was with other family at quachs bedside that night while he was being treated for kidney failure and a heart attack. He was fully conscious, and we asked, how are you feeling . Are you feeling better . And he said yes. Reporter but a state Public Health investigation found that later that night, the tube 2350 feeding blood back into quachs body came loose. An alarm sounded but Family Members told investigators the nurse simply silenced it without checking further. Tran and his sister said there was a pool of blood on the bed and the line was disconnected. She was witnessed, you know, a beloved Family Member just die right in front of you, and i of course i saw it too. And its like, i had to try to keep it together because no one else was. Everyone was breaking down and crying. You have to be outraged. Why . Reporter the familys attorney, william weiss, says the dialysis machine data indicates the alarm sounded for 13 seconds before it was silenced. The nurse told state Health Investigators she did not hear any alarm. State officials fined kaiser 47,000 for quachs death, and nearly 12,000 for not reporting it. Weiss said that failure allowed key evidence to be destroyed, like quachs dialysis tubes. Did you think of this as a coverup . Absolutely. It is a coverup. Why would she tell the state that no alarm went off . Why would kaiser have those parts thrown away and put the machine back to use . I mean, it sound like a coverup to me. If no one reports it, then the department of Public Health is not likely to find out about it. Reporter lisa mcgifrt, who tracks patient death cases nationwide, says a criminal probe of a death like this is highly unusual. We have talked to patients and their families around the country who have taken their case to the police. Most of them have been turned away. Reporter kaiser turned down our request for an interview but told us in a statement it has recently revamped training and care protocols. We sincerely regret that this incident occurred and extend our sympathy to the family involved. While such a case is rare, we take full responsibility for the provision of safe quality care to our patients. Quach had hoped to join family in a hill top house being built in brisbane, but work on that dream home is now on hold. Its tough enough seeing a loved one die, but its worse when that loved one was such an influence on your life. You know, he was the type of guy i grew up, you know, i wanted to be just like him when im 80 years old. Reporter as the criminal probe continues, the family is seeking damage through an arbitration case with kaiser. Nbc bay area news.
