The 9. A live look at the festivities in San Francisco. In case you have been under that rock, you know super bowl 50 is coming to go the bay area. We are in full swing. We have a report coming up from super bowl city. We have our reporters fanning out everywhere. Along with gasia, mike, i am sal. Good morning. We are going to be at super bowl city at our studio there starting monday for the 9. When you joining us on monday, thats what you get to see. A lot of people coming into town for super bowl. Our twitter question today is this. If you could take all of these out of town visitors somewhere thats not in all the guide books and magazines, your secret spot in San Francisco or anywhere else in the bay area, let us know where you that is a great question. I was thinking about it this morning. A great question. Clear day. You can see the sierra nevada. When you can see the sierra nevada, you have to have a sierra. Its not going to be in our lists is fishermans wharf, right . No. What do you do that you love in the bay area that you wish everyone knew about . Let us know. Use the ktvuthe9. I like that question. You are in that question. All right. We have to go to business here. The Republican Debate before the iowa caucus has promised as promised donald trump was a no show. His presence was felt on stage. Ktvus political reporter ross polumbo is in iowa. He was at the debate last night. Ross, a lot of people say donald trump won even though he didnt show up. Reporter well, good morning you guys. Everyone is actually saying that this morning. You know, donald trump himself this morning is out. Fox news apologized right up into the debate time hoping he would show up. He said it was simply too little, too late. He carried on with his veterans fundraiser. He raised some 6 million on a separate stage in des moines, iowa. But over here on this side on this stage the debate went on without him. But as you say, his presence certainly was felt. Take a listen. Lets address the elephant not in the room tonight. I am a maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid fat and ugly. And ben, youre a terrible surgeon. Now that we have gotten the donald trump portion out of the way. Reporter trump came up again and again. But they did take on more traditional topics. Foreign and domestic terrorism were first up. Google says that they are the number one issue that viewers want to hear about, but it was immigration where the biggest sparks flew last night. Fox showed clip after clip of ted cruz and marco rubio flipflopping. Its the first time that has happened during a debate. Then they asked them to explain. Listen to this. Havent you proven that you cannot be trusted on this issue . No, because if you look at the quote, and its specific, and it says blanket amnesty you used to support a path to citizenship. So did you. So did you, marco. Jeb bush took on russian owe russian owe. Donald trump was on top even though he was not there last night. The big question this morning is, who won . Google was actually tracking that this morning as well, and they are saying that 29 of people on google believe that rubio won. 17 believe trump one. 15 believe rand paul won. Ted cruz wasnt in the top three. I can tell you most analysts believe that ted cruz came out on top. Most analysts believe he is going to do well in iowa. He has the largest ground game from 12,000 volunteers out there to get his people to the caucuses. Here in iowa, that is the name of the game. For now thats the latest live in des moines. I am ross polumbo. Back to you. Thank you very much. Joining us now is political analyst brian sobel. I want to ask you, ted cruz is so uncomfortable even when he was delivering that joke. I think we are beginning to see a window as why a lot of people dont like the man . He is hard to read and he is not very well liked in the United States senate. He goes often on his own tangents and that sort of thing. Doesnt kind of play well with others. And you can see that. It comes out on stage. I thought rubio and bush had a fantastic debate. Youre right. And i know rubio was drilled on the immigration issue. He appeared polished. He touched on what a lot of iowaans are passionate about, and that was religion. He talked about being a christian. Twothirds of them are evangelical christians. That would have played and is play well with then. The other thing to consider, too, is that while everybody was taking shots at cruz, as the frontrunner, rubio i thought slipped in and did a good job. I thought he had a very good night. I thought jeb bush had a good night. Better than previous debates. John kasich continues to turn in wonderfully statistical numbers. He cant get over hump. This was the only debate in iowa so far. Yeah. He didnt debate in it, donald trump. Is that going to play a role . That remains to be seen because if people cared or didnt care, they are going to utilize that when they go to vote. If people were on the fence before this debate between cruz and trump . They might fall on the cruz side of things. The fact that last night was the Second Lowest rated debate of the cycle, is it because donald trump wasnt there or because people are just no. Sadly, it is that with donald trump not being there, a lot of people actually were watching the counter event. Thats right. Trumps event. It got bigger numbers than trumps counter event . It did. But the total numbers were down. You know, for better or worse, donald trump attracts people to the show. Caucuses are different. Yes. You are not going to a little booth and punching a hole. You are having a conversation. I am curious about the next 48 hours. Do the candidates page for the people they know will caucus for them or people who are 5050 . Both, mike. What they do is youve got a ground army, as it were, out there at all the caucuses talking with people and that sort of thing. Then the candidates make specific appearances where they think they can push the caucus over the top. It is unlike anything else. You may have a caucus meeting in a big gymnasium with republicans on one side and dems on the other. Its really, when you are out there in these states where people to people really matter, its interesting to watch. I was once doing something in nebraska where if all the candidates didnt show up at mrs. Smiths house kind of thing. Right, right. You were out. Right. Youre out. We have a short time left. Is trump going to be the nominee, if you have to choose today . I dont believe he will be at the end of the day. Does he win iowa . Yeah, he wins iowa. Thank you, brian sobel. Thank you. We are looking at the weather now. Rosmary orozco, i heard that we are Getting Better news about the weather surrounding super bowl city and even the game itself . Youre right. Of course, we welcome that rain. But it looks like backing off a little bit as we get into the next week. Meanwhile, for today we do have clouds in place. Its a muggy day. Especially north. The rain is still falling. We will have scattered showers in the forecast for your friday. Lets step outside. Take a look at whats going on right now. Here is a live look over oakland. Now, oakland, San Francisco, concord, livermore only reporting a few onehundrethses in the last 24 hours. Areas like santa rosa. 02. Napa. 01. Forth farther north than that novato. 06inch. Here is what is going on right now. We will squeeze into the north bay where we are seeing the brunt of this moisture and it looks like we are still seeing scattered showers in areas over dylan beach. Some in gush victim. If we shift to the east just a little bit, a little bit of light rain over st. Helena, yountville along that stretch of highway 29. As we get into your afternoon the scattered showers are going to continue. Just going to be off and on. Light amounts expected today. Take a look at where most of this moisture remains. Over northern california. It is streaming to the east. It is also impacting the sierra. Take a look at the advisories in place. A High Surf Advisory that lasts until tomorrow morning. That be aware of for the entire coastline. We shift into the sierra, if you are thinking about heading up to do some skiing this weekend, it looks good right now.

Its going to be light but its going to stay in place. Come saturday morning we will be left with lingering showers. Temperatures upper 50s to low 60s today. I will have your extended forecast in the noon hour. Until then, see you in a bit. Thank you very much, rosemary. With more el nino storms on the way, demolish crews are tearing down a red tagged house in San Francisco. The hope is located near Mount Davidson by city college there. City inspectors worry the house might slide down a hill and then right into another home. This morning we talked with the owner of that house. Public records show he bought the home last october for 2 million. He had plans to remodel the house and move in next year, but due to the risk to the neighborhood emergency demolish of the home he just bought started yesterday. Primary concern was everyones safety. You know, the rest of the homes around us and the crew taking it down. Thats why they did as much as they could yesterday. Now back for day two. This photo on bing maps shows the house before it was deserted. Online sources say it was built in 1963. Investigators are inspectors, pardon me, dont know the exact cause of the ground movement, but the recent rains may be a factor. Contractors in walnut creek are cleaning up a big mess after a tree fell on a home. City arborist was scheduled to inspect that tree today after the homeowners reported that it was leaning last week. One of the branches slammed down into their bedroom when that oak tree came crashing into their home.

Heres what he had to say. You know what . I got to see a little more information. But i think it is a great story for Peyton Manning to be, you know, towards the end of his career in a super bowl again. And, you know, the defense that the broncos have is unbelievable. But carolina looks stuff. This is going to be a close one. A tough one. Wow, what a diplomatic answer, huh . He did not reveal anything. He is a big football fan. He is a Chicago Bears fan. He watches football. I think he has a favorite. He just wont day it. He needs to see more information he said. Right. The light show on the bay bridge will come back it life this weekend. The display will be turned back on tomorrow night, or i believe night during a free ceremony and Fireworks Show on the embarcadero. That show begins at 7 25 and is part of super bowl festivities.

Now, many much them are construction jobs. This has been quite a project. Many of the vendors, companies are here at super bowl city. Since last sunday construction crews have been working 14hour days to get this up and running before the weekend. There is a lot of security as well.

That is where kyle myrick, the victim, worked. They are devastated over his loss. One of the things that the owner mentioned to me was that the suspect in this case used to go Mountain Biking with some of the employees here, and they have been working with police and told them that the suspect does go Mountain Biking in areas in the santa cruz mountains, and thats what did help detectives. Right here next door, this is where people have left candles and flowers to honor and remember kyle myrick. Now, take a look at this Instagram Video of the vigil that took place last night for myrick. Friends came on motorcycles, revving them because myrick loved riding and working on bikes. A lot of people have been posting on social media expressing their heartbreak. They described the 28yearold as a kind, down to earth, and caring person. He worked at gp motors in san jose where he assembled motorcycles. And last friday was when he was last seen. A crime scene and evidence was found next door, and that led police to believe he had been murdered. Myricks family and investigators had been conducting searches all week for him. Yesterday detectives were able to find his body near jamison creek, which is in the santa cruz mountains. Its a remote area off of highway 9th and its about 25 miles away from the crime scene.

You want to take them around. Not fishermans wharf. Not the golden gate bridge. Somewhere that is your spot not in the books. Someone said, captain stir stick said on twitter that Mount Davidson has the best view of the city within city limits. Thats beautiful. A lot of people coming into the city for super bowl 50. If we could talk to those people, i like this answer from james. On twitter he writes, two east bay spots. Indian rock in berkeley and mount diablo. Something not related. The raiders moving to las vegas, a domed football stadium in lv . When are they admit they are running out of water down there and do ago about that. Reach us at convergence zone. A man opening up about his experience as a prisoner in iran. He spoke yesterday and thanked his newspaper and secretary of secretary of state john kerry for helping to free him. He was freed in a prisoner swap. He spent 18 months in prison after being convicted of spying. For much of the 18 months i was in prison, my iranian interrogators told me that the Washington Post did no the exist. That no one knew of my plight, and that the United States government would not lift a finger for my release. Four other americans were also released as part of the Prisoner Exchange that freed rezaian. On mornings on 2, a few times we had his brother ollie rezaian join us live and talk about the fact that his brother was being held. What the administering was doing, and if that was enough. So many times his brother said, what i want most for my brother is that he has a normal life. That he is able to recover physically. Now he is free. He was in solitary much of that time. The emotional recovery is at the beginning stages. Okay. Number of protests are scheduled for super bowl week. One of them is actually scheduled for tomorrow. Thats when advocates plan a march in San Francisco in protest of the Police Shooting death of mario woods. That march is scheduled to start at 11 00 tomorrow at union square. Its supposed to wind up at the foot of Market Street where super bowl city is having the grand opening.

The daily parking rate will increase to 2 in hayward. 2. 50 in richmond. 8 in west oakland. The price hikes are part of a program that evaluate parking lot usage. Every six months fees go up 50 cents for parking lots that are full, but lowered for those that arent. They are trying to engineer that i guess a little bit.

Its about American Cities on the rebound. Ktvu is the only tv station she spoke with. She sat down with amber lee about the series. Reporter why oakland . Well, you know, we are doing a series called cities rising, rebuilding america, and so we were looking for places around the United States that were really having a resurgence or a renaissance. And oakland was really at the top of our list because so many exciting things are happening here as the city is thriving. There are all sorts of things, whether you are talking about the warriors, talking about companies coming in. Youre talking about Tech Companies and youre talking about the music industry. We just thought it was a very vibrant place to focus on, and thats why were here. Katie couric also said she has been interested in urbanization. She says that by 2016, its expected that twothirds of the population will be living in cities. As more and more young people flock to cities and as they become really the centerpieces of communities all across the United States, i was curious to know how cities were handling this influx of new talent and young people. You know, oakland is doing a terrific job of being a place where young people want to be and where people who have lived here for a long time are proud to be, you know, natives. And what would the rebirth of oakland be without a little team spirit . Couric sat down with one of the star players of the golden state warriors. I talked to Draymond Green to talk to him about the warriors victory and how important that is to the community. I think a lot of these cities need a psychological lift, too. So when you have a winning sports team that gets an nba championship, thats a huge injection of positivity into a community. Everybody wants a piece of the warriors, mike. Gasia . The allstar team, right . Absolutely. Draymond. Three guys. Steph and klay. Congratulations. Nice that oakland is getting that national attention. A warning to anyone who might be going to the beach today. The National Weather service is predicting a westerly swell could produce waves and surf as high as 16 feet. High surf advisory in effect until 4 00 tomorrow morning. Swimmers and surfers should look out for rip currents while beachgoers need to be careful about sneaker waves. It could lead to beach erosion. On that topic high waves undercutting cliffs, there is a detour because a road is washed away. The cliff immediately in front of a nearby sewage plant is also washing away with just about 100 feet of cliff left in front of the front doors. Its not just San Francisco and the south bay toasting the super bowl. The spillover is stretching to the north bay and into wine country. Napa valleys offseason is getting a boost from football travelers. For the first time the nfl has commissioned a wine for the super bowl 50 from californias wine valley. The lucky winner free mark abby about their bordeaux blend. Its in stores and about a 100 a bottle. Fans want something to commemorate one of their favorite events of the year. The only place for taste is at free mark abbey or at the nfl experience at Mosconi Center. Only 2,500 cases were made. Its not likely to last on the store shelves too long. Good wine. I have been up there. Its nice. I think people will be happy. So many people are going to come here. They are going to be here for the game. I was just thinking, they will go up to sonoma because theory here. Up to napa. And livermore. Lets talk safety. The fbi saying up to this point there have been no credible terrorist threats to the super bowl in the bay area. They are ready for just about any situation, even if they say there is nothing to worry about. The agency gave us a firsthand look at bombsniffing robots at the fbis special joint operations center. That center will be staffed 24 hours a day. It will last through the super bowl and the day after. The robots can detect and disarm anything from a suspicious backpack to a radioactive device by remote control. We will be monitoring all vehicular traffic going into the stadium starting a week before the game to screen them for explosives. So that truckload full of Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer bomb is not going to get into the stadium. The federal Aviation Administration is issuing a temporary flight restriction or tfr around levi stadium on game day. Law enforcement will also be monitoring super bowl city in San Francisco. There will also be increased security on bay area ferries. People planning to use the gold gate ferry to go from marin to super bowl city in San Francisco, mike, expect random screenings as they board. And the Oakland Alameda ferry will have more security measures in place but did not specifies what the measures will be. Tara moriarty with more on the special events.

A man betting the Carolina Panthers would not make the super bowl turns out he lost, which makes him very blue. Look at this video. Ricky woods told his coworkers if the panthers made it to the big game, he would paint himself blue and go on the side of the street. So he paid up, even holding a sign that read, cam newton, i love you. Or i love you cam newton. Thats what happens, ladies and gentlemen, when you make a bet and you lose. I made a bet with the entire office that if the panthers did not make the super bowl, i would stand on the boulevard painted blue. Drivers seemed to love the sign. They honked when they saw him. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps is causing waves on the basketball court. Coming up, his participation in the curtain of destruction. And take a look.

Sal now for tips on how to keep your football fans happy. Thanks, guys. I am here with heather, Celebration Expert from party city. Look at this table. I mean, is this what you put out at your spread . I do. I get invited to a lot of parties. I bet you do. Now, is this easy to do . It looks so elaborate. Give us some of the tips and tricks. Lets say i want to host a party. It looks tougher than it really is. Okay. A lot of what i like this do is i like to go to party city and get all of these little theme related decorative food holders. So youve got these cups for our little chili cheese dip that have the football theme. The cupcakes have the football theme. This was easy. Went to safeway. And cups colored from the super bowl colors . We do. This is the big 50. A lot of our things have the 50 on it, which is great. Makes for a good decoration. And i notice that you have balloons at parties. You even have gimmicks. This is my favorite. Tell the viewers what this is. A football clapper. We like to make noise when sports are going on, right . You can hand these out to guests. These make a great table decoration, but they are also good foremasts to have favorites. What are these . This is a fun game for people to play. You know the commercials are huge for super bowl. So we like to have this to hand out to our guests. There is a one, two or three. So one is great love it. Gonna go viral. Two okay. Three is a pass. Do you find that a lot of people, when they have the they face the dilemma of throwing a party like this, might panic . I think people are intimidated. I suggest going to party city. Com. There are a lot of great ideas in the photo galleries there. And dont overthink it. Use your serving trays and that kind of thing to tie into the theme. Like this table cloth here is just a grass table cover. But it just kind of spices up the whole theme. These are pompoms. Just kind of think about things that you can do. And i like to use fun favors for the guests to put out on the table and use as decorations. Like these here are fun. These are penalty flags. So people can pick those up. Who doesnt want to throw a good penalty flag, right . Thats right. Real quick because we have to go, but i noticed vegetables and nuts. What kind of food . You have to have wings, right . Finger food is great or single severing. Thats why i like cheese chili cheese cups. Those are great. Good ideas on partycity. Com. You can do the mini waffles with Chicken Nuggets and syrup. All stuff that people can quickly grab, put on their plate. Heather from party city. I am coming to your place. Great. We will be back with more of mornings on 2 the 9 after this. And there is beer. Right. Im going. The warriors have three allstars for the first time in 40 years. Draymond green and Klay Thompson were chosen as reserves yesterday. Its greens first trip to the allstar. He leads the nba with eight tribble doubles. He was doing a tv interview yesterday when a special guest told him the news. I heard my moms voice and so i thought i was tripping. But im like, ma . And she is like dayday, dayday. I am like, ma . She told me then youre an allstar. I know. Green and thompson join steph curry, who will start for the west. The last time the warriors had three allstars was in 19th 76 1976. This years allstar game is february 14th on sunday in toronto. Arizona state basketball fans added a new twist to what they call their curtain of distraction. At last nights game pull out the curtain and show me olympian Michael Phelps. Gold medals. No shirt. Starts dancing. The curtains are drawn to distract visiting the shooters. Steven thompson jr. Missed both of his foul shots after phelps appeared. We are going to distract you right now .
