The state of the union has come and gone in trump gears up to act on issues he focused on last night, immigration and infrastructure. Allison barber has the story from washington. Reporter trump delivered the longest date of the Union Address in roughly 18 years to talk about bipartisanship in unity, republicans are praising the speech but democrats are not buying it. In a statement Michael Bennett said, only this president could make a call for unity sound so divisive. The president s tone and lack of results make it difficult to believe that his speech is anything more than hollow rhetoric. The president called on lawmakers to come together to fix americas immigration system. He repeated his plan for a path to citizenship for one point a young 1. 8 million young immigrants for an end today visa lottery and in and to the chain migration. The offer is not sitting well with most democrats or immigration hardliners on the right but one senator says he is optimistic that moderates can make a deal. Its about 25 strong, evenly split and were starting to find out where is the breaking point. Another priority is in infrastructure. The president will take the message to the American People but are no democrats out there supportive of the issues we outlined . Reporter republicans only have 51 feet to meaning they will need democrats to pass a major legislation this year. Allison barber ktvu fox news. A Political Science professor joins us today just but we heard last night. The president spoke of unity and judging from the reaction from democrats is he getting it . No. s base is saying its a great speech they loved it but the democrat from leadership down to the caucuses have resoundingly suggested that the president reached out and olive branch with one hand and had a hammer in the other. A lot of this comes from immigration and the words used to describe immigrants. Some of the language is divisive, it trivializes dreamers and the American Dream and talk thing about gangs in relation to immigration was ominous and threatening for young people to suggest they are a threat to the country when they are not. I think it was an awful analogy your reference for the president to make. Some of his ideas could appear to bring people to the middle. Yes a lot of people responded and said that 60 said the agenda is carried out to be good for the countrys of people are giving him the benefit of the doubt in spite of the Previous Year of division and polarization and confrontation, but that is about it. I subdivision method on the floor, he rarely look to the democratic side to it was interesting to watch when the democrats would stand will not stand. Maybe the president didnt have a shot before he even step in no matter what he says. A year of back and forth with all the issues we know about from the pocahontas comments to charlottesville to back and forth with freadricka kyle wilson to talking about doc the daca, that cannot be forgiven in an 80 minute speech and that is a mistake people are making to think that trump can come reset after having offended every potential constituent vote he could outside of his own base, that is a problem. Trey gowdy today that a big house a big name announced he is not running for reelection. 38 have announced they are retiring or running for another office got is this tied to trump . I think so. Maybe it is tied to the state of the union, maybe listen to the speech and realize this is a nowin situation and decided to turn his back on politics and go back to the private sector. He is selling the idea that all is well when several people at the main people who held water in investigative committees are jumping ship and were supposed to interpret that as something positive. This is ominous for republicans and i think we will see a new speaker in november. The state of the Union Address served as a reset button . It could, he could say this is what is going to happen and he did do that in some areas and he talked about the idea that his priorities for prescription drugs would be a 2018 priority and that is the kind of thing you can do but, again, the Previous Year also matters. East bend 20 to 30 minutes on the accomplishments, biggest tax cuts, more hiring, more jobs, he drove that home as best he could last tonight. Every president does as every president should. When you talk about the unemployment rate, he boasted about the africanamerican africanamerican rate, under barack obama it went from 60 percent under 7 . So under trump is gone from 7. 8 down to 6. 5 percent. He talked about detroit and everyone knows the barack obama package save the Auto Industry from america, trump is taking that it for the obama administrations achievements in areas where he cannot point to specific policy initiatives are decisions he has made that can contribute to African American unemployment. You cant just say African American unemployment at an all time low and not show anything you have done. He is taking credit for Barack Obamas political achievements and i know a lot of republicans dont want to hear that but that is what trump is doing. He says he has no other choice but to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. We have to leave it here. Thank you again.

The Public Utilities<\/a> commission is holding a hearing to discuss a fires redding california. The hearing is focusing on how utility infrastructures like power lines contribute to were the cause of fires. The conversation was prompted by wildfires. They are also examining how fires impact utility infrastructure especially electric and Telecommunications Services<\/a> which are crucial for Emergency Response<\/a> and the ability of First Responders<\/a> to communicate. New numbers released about insurance claims across the state from last years wildfires. Claims reached 11. 8 billion that the most expensive we have seen in our states history. The county of sonoma plans to file a lawsuit over the october firestorm. The county will ask for tens of millions of dollars in damages to clear debris, rebuild infrastructure and improve safety programs. They hire private lawyers to consolidate 100 other lawsuits filed by property owners. The lawsuit claims pg e is responsible for the fire that burned more than 137 mi. 2 in sonoma family killing 24 people and destroying more than 5100 homes. Several other counties may join them in the lawsuit. Two women accused of stealing items from the fire zone are now under arrest. What the women were caught with and how police found them. In tragedy you will see this is copper pricing. Sums the opportunity. Its sad because this person is now victimized twice, once by the fire and then by scavengers. The owner of the home found a strange truck year and a signed divine devolution demolition and in the truck bed thousands of pounds of copper and steel. The homeowner block them in his driveway and when deputies arrived they admitted to admit they were here to take copper wire and had done so earlier as well. Reporter neighboring homes are on a hill nonvisible for the main road, private. For someone to come find it you are really looking for something. Copper is sold by weight for two or three dollars per pound and fire damage does not matter because it is melted down. The two women caught on the site were hard hot and safety vest to make their ruse more convincing. A decal on your car, you are wearing a vest and a helmet, to the untrained observer they will look like a legitimate person sent to do cleanup. It doesnt surprise me, there is a lot of money in metal. They had to go through Hazardous Material<\/a> to pull that metal. Crews carry right of entry forms and put debris in dumpsters not open truck beds. It happens everyday everywhere regardless of whether its a fire or not, scrappers are out there. The Sheriffs Department<\/a> would like to hear from anyone who encountered the women or their vehicle over the past few months. The value of the scrap copper is not the point. To have a thief, and scavenger property and memories , its not fair. San jose police have released new details about a woman who was shot and wounded by officers in front of her home on monday. During a News Conference<\/a> yesterday the woman was said to be suicidal and threatened to shoot officers. She pointed a shotgun at police when police opened fire shooting the shotgun she was holding and injuring her hand. Women retreated to the home before surrendering an hour later. She is hospitalized in expected to survive. The shotgun turned out to be unloaded but the womans actions left officers with no choice. Crisis intervention is not the panacea especially when someone threatens officers via a 911 call in point a shotgun at officers, the options are limited at that point. And neighbors said she was depressed because she recently lost several people close to her including her son and mother. She could face charges of threatening a Police Officer<\/a> an assault with a deadly weapon. Several miniature horses and a donkey were killed by a pack of dogs that got into their pen.
