holding back tears and even crying at times. but the prosecutor and even the judge were not sympathetic. the couple faced charges together in superior court today, but spent much of their time hiding their faces. 27 year old octavio moreno and 23 year old crystal delgado were charged with three counts of possessing narcotics for sale as well as a felony count of child endangerment, a county drug task force swarmed their home at an apartment complex on rocky mountain drive tuesday, where officers made what the district attorney's office called the largest seizure of fentanyl ever in santa clara county's history. a neighbor watched the drama unfold. the stairs are right next to our door, so i heard a bunch of steps up, and then they knocked and banged about. the police. police, police are here. they took everyone out and then searched the searched the apartment. did they, did you hear the couple or the woman say anything? yeah. all. all i really remember hearing is like, where's the warrant? and what

are you guys doing? and then she was yelling about her child. that was in the in the bedroom. prosecutor robert philbrook vowed to hold the couple accountable for what he described as brazen behavior. we got marijuana on the floor next to the baby's playpen. we got cocaine, a pound and a half of it in a cabinet in the kitchen at ground level next to the baby's formula. we have the 25,000 fentanyl pills in a backpack underneath the baby's crib. oh and then a loaded gun in a drawer in the kitchen as well. ready to be used. bail was set at $200,000 for delgado, 250,000 for moreno, and the judge issued a stay away order so the couple cannot see their child who is with relatives. they are due back in court july 13th to enter a plea in san jose. robert honda, nbc, bay area news okay, thank you robert. doctors in redwood city are working to protect children from gun related accidents, part of a new program at kaiser

permanente. so during a patient exam, doctors will ask parents if they have a handgun in their home and if they do, they'll be given a free trigger lock to take home. hospital leaders say the goal is to start conversations about gun safety with families. it gives us an opportunity to engage in a discussion with parents in a non-judgmental way. just talking about how gun violence is real. it's the number one cause of death in children's and teens in this country. and so it's our responsibility to make sure that we're doing all we can to keep children safe. the locks are being provided by the san mateo county sheriff's department. bart is heading for a fiscal cliff. the transit agency is forecasting future budget shortfalls of about $350 million a year. it's only planned asking voters to support a tax measure if that doesn't work, bart has no plan b, and the transit system could be doomed. here's nbc bay area's jodi hernandez.

yes, i rely on bart for going commuting to work and then doing travel. robert mitchell takes bart to work every week. visually impaired. it's his only way to get to his oakland job. he and his wife can't imagine life without it. he wouldn't have a way to work. yeah, he works in oakland. it's his only way to get to work, so it's huge. but many worry about bart's future. the transit agency is facing massive budget shortfalls. they've been using emergency state and federal funds to bridge the gap. but that money will soon run out. i'm very worried about the future of bart. bart is banking on voters to bail them out, hoping they'll sign on to a 30 year tax measure that will be on the ballot in 2026. also bart says there's no backup plan. the plan really only keeps coming down to one thing, and that is more money, please, from the taxpayers. and that should not

be our only plan. we should have a plan b the worst case scenario is that we don't have bart or we have a reduced type of bart. cal state east bay professor david frazier says while he doesn't see bart ultimately folding, he says the transit agency can't assume voters will jump on board a proposed bailout. he says bart has a lot of work to do if people can feel okay. this is a service that is effective and it is reliable, it is consistent, it's clean, then people are more likely to look favorably when you come asking for something. allen says the agency needs to find ways to cut spending. now, she says the agency continues to increase spending every year. i think that the taxpayers, before they start pulling money, more money out of their wallets, that they would like to see that the agency is taking seriously this notion that we've got to do a deep assessment of how we cut

the cost of delivering this service. the mitchells say they're willing to pay higher taxes to keep bart rolling. it's super important for us, and i think that as taxpayers, it's our responsibility to help with that. and i think we should. the question should bart assume enough voters will agree to do the same in contra costa county? jodi hernandez, nbc, bay area news. the bidens are arriving in the bay area today. first lady jill biden was the first to touch down, actually, which in the past 30 minutes she landed at sfo just after 430. former first lady flew in from portland, oregon, where she attended a political finance event this afternoon. tonight in the bay area, the first lady will be speaking at a similar event in marin county. then it's wheels up again. she'll be flying to burbank tomorrow morning for another event in los angeles, before then heading to phoenix. meantime, president biden is set to touch down in the south bay this evening. he took off from hosting a wnba champions las vegas aces event at the white house earlier

he's not walking away from israel's security, the u.s. will not supply weapons for a ground assault on gaza's crowded city of rafah. i've made it clear to bibi and the war cabinet that they're not going to get our support if, in fact, they go on these population centers as israel ramps up what it calls a limited operation, just over the critical and now closed rafah border crossing, the president has already halted a large shipment of bombs to israel out of concern for the million plus civilians sheltering in rafah. the move, touching off frustration and outright anger from some in the israeli government, u.s. republican lawmakers accusing president biden of ignoring congress's will after bipartisan passage of military funding for israel and ukraine. i'm pleading with you change course. give israel the weapons they need to finish this fight. speaker johnson, calling it 100% a political calculation

as tense college campus protests threaten the president's reelection bid. democrats pushing back the president's doing the right thing. we want to support israel. we want to make sure that the actions that they take to defend themselves and to stop us terrorism, do not involve innocent people in their lives. at the same time, negotiations over a cease fire and hostage release deal have hit a pause, with cia director william burns and other top officials leaving cairo, a source familiar telling nbc news a key sticking point is israel's military action in rafah and insistence the city it calls the last hamas stronghold be excluded from any ceasefire agreement. the white house national security council spokesman today emphasized the u.s. is committed to supplying israel's defense needs, while also preventing certain types of american weapons from being used in specific ways and places. he added. there is still a path

forward to a cease fire deal, but it will take moral courage to get there. in washington. alice barr, nbc news. all right, thank you very much, alice. a testy exchange today when stormy daniels returned to the witness stand in new york city. daniels is the adult film star at the center of former president trump's hush money trial. it is day 14 of that trial, which centers around whether mr. trump faked business records to hide payments to keep daniels quiet about an alleged sexual encounter decades ago. daniels took the stand for a second day today during questioning, trump's attorneys implied that because daniels worked in the adult film industry, she was good at making up stories about sex. daniels fired back that the sex in those films are real, just like what she says happened with mr. trump. now, trump denies the affair. his former lawyer, michael cohen, says he paid daniels during the 2016 election for her silence. today was daniels final day of testimony. afterward, mr. trump and his lawyers asked the judge for a mistrial and to modify mr.

governor newsom and the state are deploying generative ai tools to help reduce traffic jams, make roads safer, and even provide tax guidance for the transportation department. the thought is, if machine learning can find patterns for gridlock, it might also be able to figure out how to keep traffic moving, reduce pollution from idling cars and cut down on deadly crashes. the state is partnering with five companies for the program, including san francisco based companies openai and anthropic. the companies will begin a six month trial to test those tools out. then the state

will decide if those tools will be fully implemented on california roadways. okay, tonight's barry proud takes us back 300 years to the age of pirates. yes. and you can learn about it without leaving morgan hill. garvin thomas joins us now with a story about one man's passion now being shared with the next generation. hi, janelle. hi, jess. rich ferraro, when he was growing up in the south bay, had a dream he wanted to be a pro baseball player. now, while that didn't happen, rich did learn if he focused on something day after day, he could get really good at it. it's a lesson that came in handy later in life, in the most fantastic of ways. one of the beautiful things about living in the bay area is that there are treasures to be found around almost every corner in morgan hill, for example, at the corner of yes, morgan and hill. oh my gosh, you will find a literal treasure filled with treasure doubloon. literally hey, cool. we're at morgan's cove. rich ferraro is the man who has spent

the last quarter century creating it. this is my passion. it was not long after rich bought this property in the late 90s that he started redoing his backyard with the help of friends. they were going for a simple tropical island feel. but then one day they happened to go to the movies and we went to see the pirates of the caribbean. we had no idea. we sit in the front row and all of a sudden you see the skeletons, you see the pirates, you see the ships, and i'm like, i want that, i want that. oh, i was just like a little kid in the candy store. i want it all. this is the captain's quarters. and so morgan's cove, as rich calls it, took on a pirate theme. but what would a pirate theme be without a pirate ship? well, rich found a guy selling one he built in canada. so i called that gentleman up, told him my name is rich ferraro. i'm the pirate of morgan hill, and i have a home for this ship. the one third scale lady morgan was dropped into rich's front yard about a decade ago, and ever

since, rich has been adding shipwreck scenes and treasure rooms to go with it, ever perfecting his pirate paradise. if you do something every day, you're going to get good at it. so every day i would do more, more and more and more until it looked acceptable to me. this here is our 1715 treasure fleet museum. as you can imagine, people were soon asking rich for tours of what he had created, and he began to realize what his creation could do for others. people just become happy. they become free and they could dream. they could pretend they're pirates. who doesn't like pirates? well children certainly do. and that's why this year, for the first time, rich is opening morgan's cove up to school field trips. i need a captain of this ship. the second graders. on this day, not only getting to see the ship and rich's treasure. 450 really old, but getting lessons in morgan hill history, knot tying, even

local geology. what did you like about the boat? it is all, of course. nothing like rich imagined he was getting into all those years ago. but then again, that's the thing about treasure. he just never really know where you're going to find it. what i've come to learn is that i've been blessed to have built it. but the value is to share it. rich says he has no plans to ever turn morgan's cove into something people have to pay to see. ideally, he'd like to keep adding to it, and one day have it declared a historic site. but how do you how do you do that to that? yeah he has. are you kidding? disneyland just go to his backyard. i probably showed you about a quarter of what's there. i mean, there's so much in that, so much room. and there's also i mean, there's the history of morgan hill. there's so much history about pirates in there and about treasure treasure hunters and all that kind of stuff. it is it is amazing. find some gold back

there. yeah, maybe. i like when they they crack that dirt and the coins were inside. yeah. that was somebody. they do a lot of effort. they baked, baked it. baked something that looked like a rock and then gave the kids a baked in a little doubloon and then had the kids bang on it. and so they discovered treasure. you know, it's hard to keep second graders attention for long. yeah, they did it for two hours straight. those kids were into the whole thing. fun. so creative. that's awesome. what a great story. well beautiful day to be a pirate for sure. yeah, the sunshine is, you know, out there quite a bit across the bay area from the north bay on down to the south bay. we did have a little bit of wind to contend with, and that's certainly, you know, was, annoying, especially if you're up in the hills 1000ft and above. we did get wind gusts here 40 to 60mph down in the valleys, anywhere from 20 to 40. but i did want to show you the current wind speed and overall, we're starting to see that wind calming down, which certainly is going to be good to get this wind out of here. now, the way that wind was coming in today out of the north and the east,

that's a drying wind for us. and that did help those temperatures to warm up. 85 in santa rosa. just crazy to think about this past weekend we had low 50s for highs. now we're way above the average here 73 also 85 in concord, san jose coming in with one of the warmest at 86. we're going to stay with more weather like this through tomorrow. this area high pressure. it's going to stay in place not only for friday but right into saturday and sunday, allowing that warm air to move in warmest stretch of weather all year long. and look at this. only five weekends with back to back sunshine in 2024. so we're going to add to that in a big way as we head through this upcoming weekend. let's go ahead and get you into that friday morning forecast. and we'll begin here on the comfortable side with lots of upper 50s here in the south bay, 59 for the peninsula 57 so as you head out the door, no issues tomorrow. mostly sunny skies across the bay area 57 here in the east bay and 55 in san francisco. temperatures as we roll through the afternoon. going to warm up a couple degrees through the inland valleys. but then as you get closer to the coast, we'll start

to see that sea breeze returning. so some areas will go a little bit cooler, others warmer. i do think it will go up hotter here in the south bay, with 88 and san jose over to the east bay 90, an antioch 88, pleasanton 85, in vallejo. oakland still remaining toasty at 83, but we'll start to see numbers beginning to drop here in half moon bay down to a cooler. 66 daly city 75 down to palo alto, 84 up to san francisco. instead of some 80s like we had in downtown in the mission, we're back down to 77. in downtown and for the north bay, 88 in santa rosa, 90 in ukiah, back to napa, 88. now, the only thing that might bother you here as we head through this upcoming weekend. sorry, i got to show this to you, is your allergies. the pollen remains high when it comes to oak, cedar, and grasses. so if you know that now you can get over that. do what you got to do when you got allergies. we still have some really excellent weather coming into this upcoming weekend. i did want to take you to some severe weather. we've been following several rounds of tornadoes back to back for days now. we're finding the most

severe weather currently. this is a live radar scan from dallas to houston stretching all the way back towards jacksonville tomorrow. the zone of severe weather starts to compress down a little bit. so i think savannah, georgia. brunswick, georgia. jacksonville, florida. over to tallahassee, florida would see the highest risk of thunderstorms. so if you're doing any flights towards jacksonville, orlando, maybe even to miami, those thunderstorms could delay and slow you down right here on that 7-day forecast. we're coming in with 74 on saturday in san francisco, 69 for mother's day on sunday. so we're holding good here for all the moms. and whatever plans you got going on this weekend 88 for the inland valleys, down to 80 for sunday. and we hold with 80s all the way through next thursday's forecast. i think we found the real treasure in the forecast tonight. is all this. yes for sure. job that's golden. yeah. thank you. thanks, jeff. yeah. coming up, a setback for elon musk's company to put a brain implant into a human. what went

wrong and how the company is reac

caused by artificial intelligence. tiktok says it will start labeling ai generated content. that's for videos from other platforms uploaded on the app. company is using tech called content credentials, which allows people to learn when, where and how the content was made or edited. this says the company comes as it tries to limit the spread of misinformation. with the upcoming presidential election, and also recently fake images of katy perry and rihanna allegedly at the met gala circulated on the app. turns out neither of

the singers were at the event. both were the product of ai. some setbacks for the human brain startup that elon musk owns. it aims to give people the power to control computers with their thoughts. the startup is called neuralink. it makes implants for the human brain. the hope to help people who suffer from severe paralysis to control devices with their minds. earlier this year, the company put an implant into the brain of a patient for the first time. but neuralink now says the implant has malfunctioned. it says the thread that connects the chip and the brain retracted, so there's a weaker connection between the two. the company did not say why that thread retracted or if the patient is in any danger. while a 40 niners legend has passed away, we're going to take a look back at the hl of fameal
