session of congress. the breakdown in goals that he laid out for the next four years of presidency. this ahead and more on mornings on 2. this is ktvu mornings on 2. >> another cold start to your day this wednesday, march 1st. brand-new month. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> good morning. i'm dave clark. let's talk about your weather. it is chilly. steve is over here with the forecast. >> but it will end up being nice. cold for some. 30s but already sunrise here and a looking good here. temperatures rebounding maybe a little patch or two of some fog. overall pretty clear out there. it won't take long to warm up. now that we're into march 1st. march 1st. chad says frost covering balboa park in san francisco. cool but clear. happy wednesday. chad, happy wednesday to you. and march 1st. freezing cold in kelseyville. k-ville. is 29 matching up with you today? let's take a look.

28. sorry. you're wrong again, chris. no. you're right there. that's just my observation. you might be 29. somebody will say i'm 27. 39 that vat owe. 32 napa. 36 mill valley. cold for some. down out of the north, the upper airflow. on the surface a component of a northeasterly breeze. fairfield 33. livermore 34. palo alto at 36. half moon bay, there it is, not much but it's there. there it is, dave. we've got that 1 up in truckee. the loneliest number up in truckee. ukiah at 32. everything looks good from crescent city to san diego and even arizona at this time with temperatures in the 60s. more 60s than 50s for us. it's been a long time, sal. all right. >> steve. >> yeah. >> you and i are both warriors fans. the warriors released that kevin durant's injury is mcl. following the mri by the

medical staff, it has been determined that he suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain and bruise. he will be out of action indefinitely and will be re- evaluated in four weeks. that just crossed. so it says that he could possibly play before the end of the regular season. >> we have, what, 22 games or something like that. >> yeah. well, 60 -- 50 and 10. so 22 games. yes. we're going to get more on that. alex is covering the story. he has reaction. he is the at warriors station. we will hear from him in a little bit. let's look at the commutes. we're going to do the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see traffic will be slow as it normally is. getting into san francisco. it's not unusual. now, the traffic is going to be okay if you're driving on the westbound bridge itself, getting into the city. you can see traffic is looking good. now, if you are driving out to 880 northbound, we have a

problem here. pardon me for me -- there you go. 880 northbound. we had a problem northbound at 29th that. is cleared to the side. the traffic is slow like it would be about an hour later. if you drive this commute, i would say get on the road just a little bit earlier on 880 or try to use 580 instead. 580 is actually better through the lake shore curve. the earlier prop on the ultimate pass eastbound is still slow. we go to the south bay where all of the freeways are filling. in 85, 280, 101, up to the valley. nothing unusual but it will be slow. at 7:03, let's go back to the desk. president trump's address to congress and the nation was an opportunity to both defend and advocate what he wants to do for the country. >> while republicans seemed happy, democrats seemed skeptical. lauren is joining us live from washington. you have more on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gasia and dave. with millions of americans

watching, the president used the beginning of his address to call for a stop to recent anti- semitic and racial threats, something he has been criticized for not coming out strongly enough against. >> we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms. >> reporter: president trump using his first speech to congress and the nation to lay out his top priorities in office. although he seemed to soft enhis position on immigration. >> i believe that real and positive immigration reform is possible as long as we focus on the following goals: to improve jobs and wages for americans. to strengthen our nation's security. and to restore respect for our laws. >> reporter: the president also focusing on health care, hammering away at obamacare which he and fellow republicans say they plan to repeal and then replace. although so far the gop has

offered few specifics. >> mandating every american to guy government approved health insurance was never the right solution for our country. >> reporter: but democrats remain unimpressed, saying the speech is out of touch with the way that the president has governed so far. the former governor of kentucky delivering the democratic party's rebuttal. >> reallieders strengthen. they unify and partner and offer resolutions instead of ultimatums and blame. >> reporter: there were audible growns from some in the capitol when the president announced he would be starting a new office that would serve victims of crimes committed by immigrants. something democrats say will just sew more fear in the country. >> thank you, lauren. some reacted to the speech with skepticism. nancy pe loss esat stone faced. barbara lee said she was

unimpressed by the president's more moderate tone. >> i hope my constituents understand while his tone was different, look at the reality of his budget. look at the reality of his cabinet officials. millionaires, billionaires. >> congress woman lee and representative pelosi joined dozens of democratic members of congress wearing white, a sign of protest, symbolizing those who fought for the right for women to vote. joining us this morning to talk more about what the president had to say, james taylor, a month political science professor at the university of san francisco. are we making too much of his tone. he was more subdued and more presidential. how much should that count. >> i think that's what everyone expects. they expect him to be stately at all times. donald trump doesn't seem to have that in him but he has to

figure out how to behave himself in the first address to the congress. i think donald trump tried his best to stay on point and read the prompter. whenever he went off, he went off off. and i think he talked about issues that are important like health care and immigration. but at the same time, everything that he did the week and hours before the speech and i think the week -- the days and hours after will undermine everything that he says. >> there were moments where we saw the focus on the widow. >> yeah. >> of the special services. >> yeah. petty officer ryan. >> yeah. >> that that was a powerful moment. >> it was. >> like everything else, there is a contradiction. the father came out condemning donald trump saying you're hiding behind my son's death. investigate. the widow comes out heart broken and everybody is connected to her. once again donald trump had his moment dealing with the loss of this soldier. but at the same time, within the next 48 hours of the news

cycle it, will not undermined by the father's attack on donald trump. we're not done with that. that was donald trump's high moment but it will come back again and again. >> let's talk about the affordable care act. we didn't get details but many say we shouldn't expect details in a setting like this. >> no. this is high pitches, sort of, you know, cheerleading. at some point you have to get down to the nuts and bolts of policy. >> how does that happen. >> the republicans don't have a good idea. a number of republicans prevent it to come to the table have oppose what they have tried to come up with a reform to be an affordable care act. they have to remember, this was a republican conservative idea under mitt romney care. then it became obamacare. it wouldn't be out of line to become trump care. he has learned the hard way that you can talk all you want. in terms of policy and

politics, you have to get down to the nuts and bolts. >> james taylor, thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> we will see you in the next hour as well. the time is now 7:09. in the meantime trump's aides say the positive reaction is causing him to delay a new travel ban. he had planned to sign a new executive order to replace the one that was struck down by a federal judge, a decision upheld by the 9th circuit of court of appeals in san francisco. reportedly iraq is being dropped from the ban which is reduced from seven predominantly muslim countries to six. this new order will allow people with green cards or visas to enter the united states. we want to know what you think. our question of the day is this, what is your reaction to the president's address? let us know your thoughts by posting a comment to our facebook page or tweet us and using hashtag #ktvu.

>> welcome book to mornings on 2. march 1st. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> good morning. i'm dave clark. >> we begin with breaking news about kevin durant. he is suffering from a knee ligament strain and a bone bruise. >> he hyper extended his knee during the loss against the

wizards. alex savidge is live at the flag ship station of the warriors. tell us when might kevin be back. >> reporter: good morning to both of you. the word from the warriors is that kd will be out at least four weeks. beyond that, it is unclear what the timetable is for his return. of course all of this very tough news for fans and a lot of them calling into 95.7 the game here. the morning hosts have been talking about this all morning, breaking down the durant knee injury. a lot of what they're saying is the team just needs him to be healthy in time for the playoffs. playoffs. >> you still have the two time mvp and the best defensive player in the league. the best 2a players in klay thompson. a lot of veterans. >> reporter: durant's knee has been the topic this morning. a lot of warriors fans calling in. many bracing for really bad news. the word from the warriors is after the durant got the mri,

the team says that he suffered a grade 2mcl strain and a bruise on his knee. he hurt it in the opening minutes of the loss to the wizards in washington d.c. it happened after the center lost his balance and fell backward on to kevin durant's knee, hyper extending it. the warriors say it is possible that durant could return before the playoffs. but this is a nerve racking time for many fans. >> very anxious about this. >> okay. >> i'm very anxious about the kevin durant injury. you see what the team has become as the four stars all playing together. now everybody is going to have to step up and increase the minutes. iguodala and others. >> i have a quote from aaron rodgers. relax. this is not a sprint. it is a marathon. is the season over? no. i can't believe that. they're coached well. they have great athletes. this is a team that understands the set back is nothing but a

setup or a come back. boom. >> reporter: after kd went out last night, the warriors announced they were signing veteran swing man and former warriors matt barnes for the rest of the season. barnes excited to be returning to the team that he played for more than ten years ago. and obviously the matt barnes signing possibly to make up here for the absence of durant as we move through the rest of the regular season. so the talk here at 95.7 the game is that this is going to be tough here the rest of the way. but, again, they are just hoping that kevin durant can be healthy in time for the playoffs that start in mid- april. the official word from the warriors it is a grade 2mcl sprain. not as severe as a grade 3 but more severe than a grade 1 strain. obviously. the word is that they are going to reevaluate in four weeks. so kevin durant out for at least four weeks.

car. when he pulls up his parachute and starts running up the hill, he goes to chase him and another one flies over him. a different one. another car chases him. it looks like everyone chasing this one guy. if i was still on drugs, that would have made me quit. >> reporter: afterwards you can see investigators inside the hotel talking and interviewing guests about what had just happened. we don't know what the men were arrested for but we're waiting for some updated information from san francisco police. back to you guys. >> thank you, allie rasmus, in san francisco. the time is 7:37. happening today, the widow of the orlando nightclub gunman is due in a federal court this oakland odd. noor salman is accused of helping her husband plan the attack on the nightclub where 49 people were killed. she is also accused of creating a false alibi for him. she is being held without bail

everything is done. sal, what do you have at 8:00. >> we have a lot of slow traffic on this wednesday, steve, all over the place. as a matter of fact, we're looking at the traditional spots where there is slow traffic. we're going to start at the bay bridge. if you're trying to get into san francisco, slow traffic there. traffic backed up for 25 minutes before you make it on to the bridge. then it actually is pretty good into the city. 880 northbound has improved a little bit. we had an earlier crash. the traffic is still a little bit slow. this is within the realm of normal. 580 slow out of san leandro to the lake shore curve. we've been talking about highway 101 in san jose. northbound 101 traffic improved as well. they got the accident out of the way near 13th street. so traffic is improving a little bit. i do want to show you that the maps on northbound 101 are still backed up. all of that backup stretched into the southern part of san jose. look at all of that slow traffic. you have a lot to deal w85,

although he seemed to soften his position on immigration. >> i believe that positive immigration reform is possible as long as we focus on the following goals. to improve jobs and wages for americans. to strengthen our nation's security. and to restore respect for our laws. >> reporter: the president also focusing on health care, hammering away at obamacare, which he and fellow republicans say they plan to repeal and then replace. although so far the gop has offered few specifics. >> mandating every american to buy government approved health insurance was never the right solution for our country. >> reporter: but democrats remain unimpressed saying the speech is out of touch with the way that the president has governed so far. the former governor of kentucky delivering the democratic party's rebuttal. >> real leaders unify and partner and

offer real solutions in instead of ultimatums and blame. >> reporter: there were audible growns from some in the capitol when the president announced he would be starting a new office that would serve victims of crimes committed by immigrants. something that democrats say will just sow more fear in the country. mike, gasia. >> thank you, lauren. one poignant moment of the speech last night was when he introduced the widow of navy seal rhino ins. >> we are blessed to be joined by carryn owens, the wife of senior chief rhino ends. ryan died as he lived, a warrior and a hero. >> she received a standing ovation that lasted more than two minutes. her husband was killed in a raid in yemen last month. while the widow was a guest at the address, his father was not. he refused to meet with the president when the body was

returned home and says that the raid needs to be investigated by congress. a majority of people who watched the speech approved of the message. 57% of viewers had a positive reaction. on the economy, 72% said the proposals were right for the united states. 64% had a positive reaction to the president's comments on taxes and 61% said they agreed with his remarks on repealing and replacing the affordable care act. twitter says some 3 million tweets were sent about president trump's speech last night. the numbers make it the most tweeted speech by a president to congress. the top tweeted moment was that call to repeal and replace the affordable care act. google says the top trending question that users asked during the night is who wrote donald trump's speech. >> joining us again this hour on mornings on 2, university of san francisco professor of politics james taylor. >> yes. >> you were with us at 7:00. we talked about the fact that

president trump's tone was subdued. his actual words were much more positive than we heard in his inaugural address. >> he painted this dark picture of america instead of reagan's morning in america it was the nightmare in america. you would think this would be the opposite. that he would speak very, you know, elaborately about the hopes and positive administration that he will bring in his inauguration and go negative in this quasi state of the union address in order to justify the budget that he will need. he did the opposite. this goes to being politically inexperienced and a novice. he will learn the second time around. >> the story about the harley davidson company coming to the white house was interesting. it gave him to the opportunity to talk about free trade and fair trade. i want to say the quote, no one will take advantage of our country any longer. playing off that, do you feel that the address was very much

america first. >> yeah. i mean that plays off of the theme that he gave in the inaugural address. this is what bannon had expressed at cpac, this is about economic nationalism. this is a new language in america. so this is i think the overarching presentation of donald trump. everything that he said is framed in this notion of this american century which was the 20th century but donald trump imagined that the 21st century will be america's too. >> he was speaking to democrats. it is time to come together. >> yes. >> no. before the sun goes down today, donald trump will pick a fight with the democrats, whether through tweeting or in some comment that he makes. you know, things that he said recently about senator warren were disparaging to a bunch of senators. you need to have a lens to look

at donald trump over here and over there to get an appreciation for the many donald trumps that come to us every day. >> earlier this morning i was listening to senator chuck schumer talk about the address. he said that trump ran as a populus and the opinions are hard right. do you agree with senator schumer. >> i'm not a democrat or a republican. i think this critique is fair. he made promises to people, especially in west virginia where he's talking about thousands of jobs coming out of nowhere. donald trump is imagining that he can reconfigure the modern world. that's what we need to understand. he thinks that manufacturers will come back based on his personality. >> i know he is trying to unite the country. he said that. but you can't say that he did not do that when he stood up or was standing up and the navy seal's widow was in the crowd.

>> that was a powerful moment. he undermines it by emphasizing how long the ovation was. you can't do that. this is a sacred movement. a young man has died. i have a nephew in the navy. >> you're talking about when he said we just set a record. >> yeah. earlier in the week the father criticized him. this is the second military family. donald trump went out of the way to avoid military service when his generation went to war. he would not go to war. now to have these young people's lives in his hands is really problematic. >> we get to have you back for the nine. >> yes. looking forward to it. >> we are asking you your thoughts about last night's address. the question of the day throughout mornings on 2 has been there, what is your reaction to the president's address to congress? let us know what you think by posting a comment to facebook or tweet us using #ktvu. trump's aides say the positive reaction to the speech

is causing him to delay the immigration ban that he was planning to sign today. the white house is postponing the signing to give the ban its own media attention. they are dropping iraq from the ban that drops the number of countries to six. the new order will allow people with green cards or visas to enter the united states. we're learning more about the small plane crash on monday in riverside that killed three people and injured two others on their way home to san jose. the cafe owner at the riverside airport says that the plane had problems taking off in the rain. the five people on board went to the cafe to get something to eat. when the storm passed they tried again and were able to take off. the cafe owner was worried because the back of the plane was shaking and very low. the ntsb hopes to release an early report on the crash in a

few weeks. >> our purpose during the on- scene investigation is mainly to gather perishable information. that is information that will no longer be available to us once the wreckage has been disturbed. at this time, our plan is to continue to document the accident site. >> the names of the victims have not officially been released. a man, a bomb and teenage girl were killed. two women are in still in the hospital. one has third degree burns over 90% of her body. an unusual site in the city of san francisco. coming up at 8:30, the late night parachuting off of a san francisco highrise. >> reporter: plus we are learning this morning how severe the injury is to kevin durant's knee after he left the game hurting the left knee. an mri was done last night. we have the results this morning. we will tell you how long the team says that kd might be out. and it is getting a little

better finally for some of these drives around the bay. westbound 24 moderate in lafayette. sunshine for everybody. coast, bay, inland, even the mown taps. the question is how long will it last? are there changes for the weekend?

imagine if the things you bought every day earned you miles to get to the places you really want to go. with the united mileageplus explorer card, you'll get a free checked bag, 2 united club passes... priority boarding... and 50,000 bonus miles. everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. the united mileageplus explorer card. imagine where it will take you. >> all right. we're following a developing story tied to kevin durant.

he is out for at least four weeks with a sprained knee and bone bruise. alex savidge is joining us live. i am not a happy warriors fan this morning when that came across my e-mail. >> reporter: no, mike, i don't think you're alone out there. a lot of anxiety this morning. the official word from the warriors is kevin durant is out indefinitely. they will reevaluate that injury in four weeks. it is tough for warriors fans to hear. many of them obviously hoping that he is back in time for the playoffs. of course kd's injured knee is truly the hot topic on sports talk radio this morning. >> yes, they can get it done. it won't be as easy as a road of having kevin durant there with them. >> you have the two time mvp, the best defensive player in the league. and one of the top players in klay thompson. >> we dropped by 95.7 the game

this morning. the hosts were breaking down the durant injury and the impact this will have on the warriors season and their chance for winning another championship. after kevin durant had the mri, the team announced he suffered a grade 2, mcl spring and a tibial bone bruise. durant hurt his knee last night to the loss to the wizards when a player fell over backward on to kevin durant's knee. it is possible that kd could return before the playoffs start but a lot of fans are feeling anxious. >> my thoughts are that it's a terrible that durant is hurt. as long as he is back for the playoffs, it doesn't matter that much. >> did will be hard tore get through the playoffs and the finals. but i know that we can do it as a team. it's just unfortunate because i know there was another set back for him as a player as well. and i'm hoping that he can recover soon.

>> reporter: and to make up for the absence of kevin durant here, the rest of the way, possibly the rest of the way through the regular season, the warriors last night announced they have signed veteran swing man matt barnes for the rest of the season. you will remember that matt barnes is a former warrior. he played here during the we believe years. and on his instagram page matt made it clear that he is excited to be returning to the what are o'ers and he will be trying to pick up the slack here, as will the rest of the warriors with kevin durant out indefinitely. and, again, the hope is just that he can recover and possibly return in time for the playoffs, which start in mid april. we will be keeping our fingers prosed and wishing kd well in his recovery. >> real quick, alex, you have to think with this injury, other teams out there, you know, not just the cavaliers but in the western conference, once you open that door, may,

we've got a chance now. >> reporter: there certainly are some teams looking at this and saying this might be an opening for them. although we do have to keep in mind, across the league, nobody likes to see any player go out with an injury. but it's really especially hard when you see a super star like kevin durant go down. it's just not good for the league in general. i mean, you want to have every team out there you want the stars to be playing in the biggest games. so it is tough news for the nba as a whole. certainly a lot of teams looking at and this saying without kd, they might have a better shot at beating the warriors. >> good point. to be the best, you have to beat the best. thank you, alex. sal castaneda brought us that news a minute after it crossed the wires. sal. early on this morning about kd. >> steve and i have been wringing our hands about this all morning, gasia.
