"celebrity apprentice" premiered in january to a 27% drop in ratings that prompted president trump to call it a ratings disaster. even said he would pray for arnold and better ratings. that has caused a brief twitter battle this morning. earlier today president trump tweeted this response. arnold schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the "apprentice," he was fired by his bad pathetic ratings, not by me. sad end to a great show. a short sometime later, schwarzenegger tweeted back at the president, you should think about hiring a new joke writer and fact checker. a butte county man wants

reporter: van camp knows his trade. he goes out at least once per week and usually finds what he's looking for. >> about an ounce and a half. >> you're holding about $1,500. >> at least. >> reporter: for serious gold prospectors like digger bob here, secrecy is of the utmost importance. before i came on this trip i promised i would not say where it was he was searching for gold. prospectors don't want other prospectors to know what they've already found out, namely, a good spot to mine, like on this day and this location. not long ago an undisclosed prospector, not digger bob, found this 75-ouncer at an undisclosed location. it sold for $350,000. is there anything like that down here? no telling, but digger bob would love to find out. >> because gold is so heavy, it always seeks the lowest area. it constantly wants to go down. >> reporter: down, where crews are currently cleaning up debris, and perhaps a whole lot more. >> all this dirt, all this came off that hillside. and this is full of gold. >> according to the reporter, the officials are unaware of any gold found there but setting protocol in the future. new details in the long-awaited new b.a.r.t. train cars. according

monitoring. b.a.r.t. cut the number of expected trains to debut to 35, down from the original 60 planned. the agency hoped to roll out 230 cars by the end of next year. but now the revised number is 166. a new meaning to the california role to state lawmakers, including one from san francisco, introducing a bill to let bicyclists yield at stop signs if it is safe. lawmakers say this would make the roads safer because the longer it takes a biker to pass through an intersection, a greater chance an oncoming car will hit them. if the bill is passed, bikers they say will ignore stop signs because it will give them the discretion to determine what is safe. happening today, if you're looking for a job, san jose giants want to hear from you. they're hosting the annual job fair. the first
