morning to you. 6:00. thanks for starting your friday with us. i'm laura garcia and i'm ginger conejero saab marcus washington is off. we're going to get a look at our traffic for the morning commute in just a bit with mike. but first, how is this weather looking? cynthia cinthia pimentel is here to tell us the scoop on that because it's father's day coming up. it is father's day weekend, and i'll tell you that today it's that similar summer pattern we're used to here in the bay area where you don't know how to dress for the day ahead. it's cold right now in san rafael. 45 degrees june gloom through san francisco. low 50s. and we go out into dublin and in richmond we start to get a little bit more of those clearing skies that will be faster to clear out of here as we go on and plan our friday into the afternoon. you know, it gets warm and breezy, not much change for our saturday, but yes, father's day is upon us. we're tracking some really gusty winds and i'll tell you what we need to watch out for when it comes to that fire danger. mike, you're starting with a crash on vasco road. no crash, but slowing there is slowing, cynthia. and you're

right. this is vasco road. what's unusual about that is typically southbound. is your commute direction. and that's no slowing. 17 minutes from marsh creek down to 580. it is northbound, where we continue to see a little slowing in that same area. we would typically see the commute slow down. nothing major, but again, that's just a little bit other than green is unusual for this vasco road area. a nice easy drive out of the altamont pass. a typical lighter volume of traffic. some folks may head down past the crash at vargas. still no slowing, so i'm going to say everything is fine heading down into fremont. back to you. thanks a lot, mike. new overnight a deadly accident along highway 87 in san jose. it happened early morning on the taylor street off ramp when a car struck a pedestrian. the off ramp was closed for hours. it reopened a little more than an hour ago. now, authorities say the driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with police. law enforcement is ramping up its crackdown on the drug problem at san francisco's tenderloin today in the bay's bob redell joins us live now. bob is the crackdown. are they

finding that it's working at all ? according to the federal government, it is good morning to you, laura, the us attorney for northern district of california, along with the dea and fbi. they have recently, quote, ramped up nighttime operations. in other words, going after drug dealers in the after hours and the tenderloin neighborhood of san francisco. and so far, they say they have seized more than 5 pounds of meth, 11 pounds of fentanyl, more than $20,000 in cash and issued more than 20 federal criminal complaints. you might recall, last november, the federal government announced a, quote, all hands on deck approach by putting a special focus and more resources into cracking down on drug crimes in the tenderloin in a news release, the us attorney says that in the several months since then, a number of drug dealers have been sentenced and some have been extradited back to their home country of honduras. as we stated last november, our objective is to change the equation for drug dealers as the consequences of choosing to

supply drugs in the tenderloin become more severe. dealers and suppliers are going to have to reassess their risk. is it worth it? we aim to show them the answer is no. that was a video statement released by the us attorney's office as part of the all hands on deck initiative announced last november. law enforcement has taken a number of steps, including you see on your screen there, arresting street dealers and suppliers of fentanyl near federal buildings in sf, cracking down on money services operations who launder drug money, who turn a blind eye to what's going on, targeted wiretaps, arrests and searches throughout the greater bay area to stem the flow of drugs into the city. fast tracking federal cases, which sometimes then takes those cases just as little as a month or a month from arrests through disposition and the federal adoption of state cases, to put some federal muscle behind those instances. reporting live bob redell today in the bay. all right. thank you very much, bob, for the latest.

on now to decision 2024. and president biden has a busy weekend on tap overseas. while former president trump has finally returned to the capitol, biden is meeting with world leaders at the g7 summit, hoping to unify allies behind ukraine. in washington, the former president met yesterday with gop lawmakers strategizing new campaign plans. today in the bay's alice barr is live in washington and alice, both of these men are trying to map out their vision for the next four years. they are ginger and sort of very different settings. as you noted, former president trump was on capitol hill yesterday and starting overseas. now, president biden is there for the g7 summit, have more high stakes meetings today after that summit opened with agreement on a us led $50 billion loan to support ukraine using frozen russian assets. president biden at the g7 summit in italy, shoring up alliances with other leading democracies

and preparing for a sitdown with pope francis. with the wars in gaza and ukraine hanging over the meetings, the president signing a new ten year security deal that commits the u.s. to train and equip ukraine's military. putin we cannot we cannot wait us out. you cannot divide us, and we'll be with ukraine until they prevail in this war. it benefits everyone in the world because the russian war against ukraine is the real, real global threat. at the same time, former president trump meeting with republican allies in his first trip to capitol hill since his supporters stormed the capitol on january 6th. this was a great meeting. there's tremendous unity in the republican party. top senate republican mitch mcconnell, who had not spoken to mr. trump in four years but now backs him joining the meeting. and it was an entirely positive session. only a couple of gop senators opted out. every one of us is

going to have have our ability to weigh in with the presidential election. the former president laying out his policy priorities should he win that election, including a heavy focus on immigration. we're going to have strong borders and we're going to have people come into our country, but they're going to come in legally. in another key campaign issue, the supreme court allowing the commonly used abortion pill mifepristone to stay on the market as reproductive rights stays on voters minds. while overseas, president biden also made his first on camera comment since his son hunter's conviction on felony gun charges, saying that he is extremely proud of how hunter has overcome addiction and having already ruled out the possibility of pardoning his son, the president now saying that he would not shorten or erase his sentence if he's given prison time. ginger, thank you for the latest, alice. in the meantime, first lady doctor jill

biden is attending a south bay fundraiser later today. she arrived at moffett field in mountain view last night after departing from minnesota. that's where she spoke at a campaign event. today's fundraiser is in los gatos, being hosted by microsoft chief technology officer kevin scott and bay area political organizer stacey mason. the first lady will then be off to reno for another fundraiser. a heads up for commuters who use highway 17. caltrans crews today will partially close the stretch between redwood estates and big moody curve in los gatos. one northbound lane will be closed starting at 9 a.m. for emergency guardrail repair. our lanes are scheduled to reopen by 4 p.m. miami dade and four other florida counties remain under a state of emergency due to this week's catastrophic flooding. storms flooded roads and homes. cleanup is only just getting started. the severe storms are also creating travel nightmares, with hundreds of flights delayed

or canceled and the wet weather, they're not over just yet. forecaster cinthia pimentel is keeping a close eye on it. so how much more rain are they expecting? there well, over the last four days they've had about 23in of rain. that's more than their monthly average of ten inches, if that tells you anything. and over the next couple of hours into saturday, we're going to continue to watch a couple more of those showers, push on through parts of the southern state of florida, maybe 2 to 4 more inches. that's quite a lot. the roads as you saw them there, saturated. and june is typically the wettest month there in florida. so something that will continue to watch for sure. we come back here into the bay area. this is giving florida vibes. my director aaron pointed this out. it's south beach harbor right there near oracle park. just a stunning view of the sun starting to peek through that cloud cover there. the june gloom. no more. the sunshine will come through and we'll see a slightly warmer day today. i'll walk you through those microclimate temperatures coming up. but mike, you're helping

people drive to find the cheapest gas price. yeah, we're trying right. but folks in livermore, they've had this all week continue to have the lead for the entire week of the best price at 374, besting the bay and one of the best in the state. diamond, gas and mart on south front roads. what we're talking about next best. this is in south bay. the south bay is best is 425 at san jose star gas on hillsdale avenue and in the north bay. valero is the third price we list here. valero in vallejo 429 at the shop on springs road. folks are getting and giving those price updates on gasbuddy.com on the roadways. it's friday, so a lighter volume of traffic, a nice drive pretty much everywhere around the bay. we do have a little slowing. the bay bridge metering lights are activated. i'll show you that in the coming up in this live camera there. but we do want to show you highway four and 3737 in particular. the volume builds a bit. calfire reported. the note everybody's out of the vehicle. sounds like everybody is safe, but that vehicle is engulfed in flames. so quite a spectacle, at least for a few

minutes. highway 37 just off 121 scott well, mike, tesla shareholders have approved that mega bonus for elon musk, but will he get his money? that's that's complicated. let's go out to the future to see how complicated those are. everyone starting at records dow is going to take a hit on the open. yikes. a lot of red there. well, parents, this one's for you. you have a chance to take your kids to visit some of their favorite animated film characters. a first look at a new land dedicated to all things shrek and kung fu panda fighters. you for only a fortnight. it certainly lasted longer than a fortnight, but the end of an era is now on the horizon. new details on taylor swift's two year eras tour reaching the end of the line. you're watching today in the back.

a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost. it's ultimate speed for ultimate business. don't miss out on our fastest speed plans yet!

backup visible here, but there is a little slowing as you lose the lanes up the incline and the metering lights are active. this is how light this friday is right now at the bay bridge we'll show you where things are slowing a bit. coming up. well, good morning. very happy friday to you. you know, you've come to expect me to say that the stock market indices will start at record. so stock market indices will start at records at least the s&p 500 in the nasdaq, not the dow. not today anyway. this is tyson foods the meat packer. the chicken people. their chief financial officer has been suspended after he was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. the young man, who is also an heir to the tyson fortune, was previously found to sleep in the wrong house about two years ago. we've been talking about stock splits in nvidia did a ten for one. so too did broadcom. virgin galactic which trades as spacex is going the other way. a one for 20. and i think you can see why the reverse stock split will make every share 20 times more valuable. shares in virgin galactic's one of richard

branson's companies fell below $1, risking delisting from the stock market. the company is sent tourists into space, so it is doing what it said it would do. meantime, reuters reports some of the fasteners used in the 787 boeing dreamliner may not have been installed correctly. now, fortunately, these planes are still on the factory floor in washington. the head of the faa admitted his administration was too hands off in its inspections of boeing aircraft. mike whittaker mentions january 5th in this little soundbite. this is the day that the door plug blew off that seven, three, seven. let me also acknowledge the faa should have had much better visibility into what was happening at boeing before january 5th. faa's approach was too hands off, too focused on paperwork, audits, and not focused enough on inspections. we have changed that approach over the last several months, and those changes are permanent. tesla shareholders voted to give elon

musk that mega bonus taken away from him by a delaware court. how much it's worth is debatable, whether you're talking about when he should have gotten it about $56 billion or what? it's worth now about 45 billion. whatever it is, the biggest bonus in american history. now a couple details. it won't cost tesla anything because they'll just print up more shares for musk. that will, however, dilute the value of the shares for everybody else. and musk doesn't get the bonus yet he was barred from getting it by a delaware court. the judge has not withdrawn her decision. tesla and musk are hoping by proving shareholders are okay with all this, that the judge will relent. musk made all kinds of new predictions during yesterday's shareholder meeting, including the plan to staff tesla factories with thousands of optimus robots by this time next year, or maybe a few thousand, he said. so this time next year. hey siri, set a reminder for june 14th, 2025 i-5 a thousand robots. i have her on

silent so very good. yes. okay, right. and because i'm going to get that, it'll be like a thousand robots. what was i even talking about? i'll remember. right. oh good. he also predicted someday tesla would be worth $25 trillion. and if that seems a little high, that's more than the entire gdp of all of europe. it's more than every computer company and every airline and every railroad in america put together. well, let's just say his mother raised a very confident child. oh, he is wildly optimistic. you shoot for the. you shoot for the stars. yeah. and he literally he's done that too. yeah, he's done that too. yeah. well all right. thanks scott. well new this morning linkedin is tapping into ai to help job seekers, but only if you're a premium subscriber. the new artificial intelligence powered features can help users build tailored resumes for specific jobs, and it can even help draft a cover letter. the site will also help job seekers refine their search, allowing them to ask linkedin to find jobs. fitting specific requirements like salary,

spectacle just yet, you only have until december. t-swift made the announcement yesterday. liverpool england during her 100th era concert. she's been on the eras tour ever since march of last year. of course, that included a stop at levi's last july. it also set new records, including that concert that she filmed as well. her recent sold out shows in edinburgh, scotland, triggered earthquake readings up to nearly four miles from the venue, according to the british geological survey. right. the show we would, of course, given a push alert had that caused anything in levi's right, hadn't built quite that far. download the nbcbayarea.com app. there you go. wow, what a tour. what a tour. what a power woman and her her followers. really just going to any and all shows people going. i have a friend that is going to europe. she's going to germany to go see a show. is that amazing? that is. that's crazy. yeah i like how the show keeps evolving though. so that's a lot of eras.

many eras, okay. and it's kind of the time for festivals and concerts and everything. summertime is next week actually. thursday the 20th, we officially go into the longest day of the year. today is friday. it's going to be a short one, maybe for you as you get ready to wrap up work this week. we are starting off with some sweater weather up there in the north bay san rafael at 45 degrees. i promise you, the warmth is coming. but look at this stunner. okay, mr. sun, we see you out there in san francisco, south beach harbor, giving us a stunning view of what's ahead. we're going to mix out of that cloud cover much more quickly today and see a nice a bit of a warmer day as we take a look at our highs there in the city. upper 60s bayshore in oakland, 72. and then we get into our microclimates, of course, warm in our valleys with some upper 80s for santa rosa, concord, morgan hill. we'll do 80 in downtown san jose, of course, we can't talk about summer early summer without talking about the breeze picking up later on this afternoon as we go on and plan our day through

the coastline, through our passes, maybe 2530 miles an hour. but fast forward this on into saturday and sunday. we're tracking some really gusty conditions as you make those father's day plans. at times they will be coming onshore, so that's good. that gives us that ocean breeze, but sometimes they could be shifting and going offshore, which means that we watch out for some fire danger. there is some fire weather watches already in through parts of the state, and that will include parts of lake and parts of solano county. maybe the hills right there on the edges of napa county. as we watch those gusts in our hills and our valleys over the next couple of days, that extends on into monday. so we've got a couple of days where we continue to be vigilant of those conditions. overall in san francisco the next couple of days, aside from the winds, temperatures don't deviate too much upper 60s there, and our inland valleys 80 will carry us through the next seven days, along with those winds and into juneteenth and the start of summer. now, mike, you're checking in on a car fire. what's going on? you know, those conditions you just talked about, cynthia, the reason why

anything, especially a fire, but even a spark is a big concern. now, the drive, the backup, not a big concern. it's friday. lighter pattern and typical pattern. but this over here. highway 37 and your commute direction. we still watch this around sears point. we do have that fire. there's miles slowing in both directions. clearly there's something to see off of the freeway itself, but not a lot of smoke. there was an engulfed car there, so we're tracking that. meanwhile, getting down to the summit. we do have a disabled rig, so there is a slower drive, perhaps right around summit road, and a lot of folks probably heading down there northbound still has that restriction. so watch it as you're coming back from the beach anytime before 4 p.m. back to you. thanks mike. and next on today in the bay. nbc bay area response. the company says it's looking into a viewers $800 complaint, but doesn't give an answer. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, nbc, bay area responds next. and as we head to break, we want to wish our midday team here at today in the bay the best of

stanford graduates prepare to walk this weekend. we're live with the preparations underway in a big name. speaker taking the stage. also, state auditors call out a major bay area transit agency saying new reforms should happen now. the recent response, suggesting change is already in the works. good morning. i'm ginger conejero saab in for marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we'll get to our top headlines for you in just a moment. but first, the return of one of the bay area's most popular events, the alameda county fair is kicking off today, and a few canine competitors are looking to shine. coming up at 645, bob redell is live with a look at some of the stunt dogs out there, and when you can see them, show off their skills, pretty cool. all right, well, in the meantime, we're going to check out to see what the weather is going to be like at the alameda county fair. cinthia

pimentel has the scoop for us. yeah we have a whole lineup of weekend events coming. we'll get to that. but look at this view right behind me when you have this camera right there, you can't not show it. as we get ready to walk out the door, that's south beach harbor, aka oracle park, and we see that sunshine through parts of the east bay already a bit gloomy through san francisco, 51 there, 56 in oakland. but it is sweater weather this morning to start in sonoma. 44 degrees 54. in san jose. we're going to be in for a warm day today, but windy this weekend. i'll have a look at those changes coming up. mike, you have a crash on the bay bridge we need to know about. yeah, we don't see it right here, but it's just past the toll plaza. as you're approaching the metering lights, which are active, we may see some slowing. all i know is there is a crash reported. it doesn't sound like or look like a major one based on the sensor reads, but we do have slowing in towards san francisco on westbound 80. more importantly, we have a car fire that continues to cause complications for highway 37. now, the eastbound lanes reportedly blocked as well as one westbound lane. the car fire is on the shoulder, but there must be

equipment and crews on scene right now causing the traffic control back to you. thank you. mike developing right now at stanford, recent graduates are getting set to celebrate a big weekend, ending with the main commencement this sunday. it follows a chaotic few weeks that included protesters occupying the school president's office today in the bay's kris sanchez joins us live at stanford this morning. so what should people expect? will there be a lot of security? so we are expecting that anybody who is going to attend, especially that main commencement ceremony, will have to have a ticket. and i have the details on that. only eligible graduates can request those tickets for their friends and their family, and anyone over the age of 16 will have to show an id, and all items will be subject to search. so all of this is on the stanford website, which is exactly where people will be able to request those tickets as well. now, because of a protest about a week ago, some students won't be eligible to walk at all. 13 people were

arrested after occupying the university president's office building ten and the quad were defaced with graffiti as well. the university also disbanded the pro-palestinian encampment that lived on campus for about two months, the university said it was just starting to threaten community safety, though the students there said that that protest was peaceful and that it was unrelated to what happened at the president's office. some students vowed to return. now, commencement tickets are available on the stanford website, so make sure you plan ahead. that is for the main ceremony that's happening on sunday. there are other ceremonies and other smaller graduations happening, tomorrow. and the festivities today, so plan ahead for that as well. by the way, the commencement speaker on sunday will be melinda french gates at stanford . kris sanchez today in the bay. all right. thank you very much. a lot of details there. kris. now, a follow up to a scary story we brought you earlier this week. the two pit bulls

that recently attacked and badly injured a san francisco man have now been euthanized. the attack happened may 25th south of market. earlier this week, the victim, pablo rocha, talked with nbc bay area now you can see in that video there that he managed to escape the attack by climbing a store fence. the dog owners are facing multiple charges. new this morning, a new state audit is calling out vta, saying the agency needs reforms. auditors are focusing their criticism on financial oversight and project management. they also say vta board structure is limited to elected officials, which likely leads to members with limited experience in transportation or transit issues. menlo park state assemblyman mark berman first requested the audit in 2022. vta issued a response saying it is now in the process of implementing more than a dozen recommendations outlined in the report. last week, the agency broke ground on a long debated project connecting the east

ridge transit center and the alum rock station. later today, san mateo police plan to give an update on the chaotic shooting that took place yesterday that led to a shelter in place and an eventual arrest. you're seeing that video there now. the shooting happened yesterday afternoon, noon, at a gas station on norfolk street and hillsdale boulevard, but the victim was located later at another gas station in nearby san carlos. officers eventually found the suspect hiding in an apartment complex near the shooting scene. but the search and the lockdown, well, it led to some chaos and confusion in what residents call a normally quiet neighborhood. and we just kind of do, you know, we just kind of live day to day and this type of activity is really shocking. we know the victim was shot in the torso. their condition is still unclear and the relationship between the victim and the suspect is unknown. well, the official start of summer is still six days away, but the bay area

summer fun is already in full force. downtown san jose tomorrow will host its first ever daytime rave. that's not something you usually hear together. a similar event was held in san francisco earlier this week. and of course, sunday is father's day if you needed that reminder. well, hello. we're in. we're sending it to you. but cynthia is going to break down. what kind of weather is awaiting for those fathers? yeah, the people behind the daytime rave in san jose have. it's a fun page to follow. san jose foodies and i can see that they've put in a lot of work. so best of luck on this one of a kind day tomorrow in downtown discovery meadow park. it's not going to be too hot, but you still want to wear sunscreen once you stand under the sun, you know that you start to burn those shoulders. make sure you drink plenty of water. this is during the day 2 to 9. so by the time that we get into the evening hours, you can still hang around in downtown san jose and it should be fairly mild. let's go up into the north bay, santa rosa at the fairgrounds we have the country summer music

festival. i believe it's the biggest in northern california. we're going to see a slightly warm day today. upper 80s similar for tomorrow. and then watching that cool down on sunday for father's day with those wind speeds. we've been talking about. speaking of wind speeds, angels and giants tonight at oracle park. first pitch 715 and we see some gusty winds out there 25 to 35 miles an hour. so bring your blankets, your beanies and everything to keep you nice and warm. drink some hot chocolate out there for me too as we go on and take a look at planning for dad this weekend. clayton barbecue and brews festival tomorrow, 11 to 6 at the oakhurst country club. it should be a warm day for dad as we go out and celebrate this weekend. now, mike, let's talk about that car fire. where is it? it's up in the north bay near sears point. so highway 37 near 121. cynthia. and as we've been talking about, the situation's evolving, i'm now hearing there may be a full block for the eastbound direction westbound. we know had from the beginning, one lane blocked. there may be both lanes with traffic control and an extended area through the week.

because of the equipment. it's narrow there. there's only 1 or 2 lanes at any given time based on how far we're coming up toward the off ramp and the transitions. so we're watching highway 37, possibly the area to avoid if you can. this is tough, though, because highway 37 connects vallejo and novato, and so you'd have to either go up to highway 12 or you have to come down to the richmond bridge, which is seeing more traffic flow. thankfully, the rest of the bay is showing a lighter volume of traffic so you can take a little extra time and then make sure you get to those alternate routes. there's also a game in the city just to warn you about tonight. there may be more crowds on that 280 extension coming to oracle park. back to you. thank you. mike a stunning south bay heist caught on camera. more than a dozen thieves smashed the displays at a jewelry store ahead on today on the bay. word of a break in the a word of break rather in the investigation and the possible connection to another recent similar crime. plus lots of decisions may be coming from the supreme court and lots of controversy as well. out to the

big board this morning where we expected some sinking on the dow. and we got it. not bad though. stay and i'm bob redell will take you live here at the alameda county fairgrounds in pleasanton. the fair kicks off today. and of course we've got the canine stars. the stunt dog show new feature here this year we'll introduce you coming up in a live report. good girl. good. that's great. good girl. good jo

with the san mateo bridge. you're in a good mood. it's friday. let's take a look at our planner here along the peninsula . a bit cool to start in the 50s, but as we go on into the mid morning, we are gradually warming up things into the 60s and it should be a nice day temperature wise. of course you know the drill. the breeze is back this afternoon. we'll talk about the rest of the bay area microclimate forecast coming up. and great news. the crash at the bay bridge, just around the metering lights, has been towed away from that area without further incident and without a visible backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, lighter traffic continues around most of the bay, but highway 37 near sears point. we continue with the impact of that car fire. we'll talk about the latest reports from chp now. well, new this morning, governor newsom is announcing a big move when it comes to the california national guard. he is more than doubling the deployment at all entry points as part of a drug task force operation. now, this is to

help combat the flow of fentanyl and other narcotics into the u.s. last fall, the governor first announced increasing national guard enforcement at four ports of entry along the us mexico border. a south bay jewelry store remains boarded up and closed until further notice. after a large scale smash and grab, we have a live look at png jewelers along el camino real in sunnyvale, which you see there is all boarded up. the store was the scene of a shocking theft earlier this week. in fact, take a look at this video. it was taken on wednesday. police say about 20 people armed with picks and hammers invaded the store, spreading out. they start breaking glasses and taking whatever they can get their hands on. the good news here is authorities later made five arrests, they believe, of people who are connected to the crime. they're now working to identify other suspects. one neighbor says he's not surprised it happened. i was thinking, like you read it about happening in san francisco, and i was thinking, it's only time it

spreads to the south bay and yeah, after reading that, yeah, now i feel like it's happening here too. police are also investigating whether the same suspects are tied to a similar smash and grab at the nearby 19 jewelers last month, about ten thieves were involved in that crime. 644 on your friday morning, president biden has signed a ten year promise to support ukraine, saying out loud the russians will not be able to wait us out. but scott mcgrew. the deal is symbolic, but by no means is it a treaty of any kind. with a treaty, you need the approval of the senate, right? so no, this is only symbolic. it doesn't really commit us to anything. but it does say to the russians, if your strategy is to wait us out, to wait for the united states to move on, it's not going to work, though, to be fair, we do have a habit of saying that and then moving on. see also. the kurds in iraq hmong in laos, a democratically elected government of afghanistan. but biden says not this time.

signing a deal with the ukrainian president at the g7 conference in italy, the group of g7 countries also agreed to loan ukraine billions of dollars earned through the interest paid on frozen russian assets. so not the russians money, but the interest on that money. earlier this month, the us told the ukrainian military it could use certain american weapons to target troops and military outside the ukrainian border into russia. and ukraine has always thought of crimea as part of its territory, which it should. and it's been ramping up attacks on russian ships in the black sea. all the more reason to send your ships somewhere else. you remember russian ships started showing up in havana harbor this week. not unusual. cuba and russia are allies tracked. of course, during their journey by the us navy. the russian flotilla has no air cover at sea. they only have one aircraft carrier and it's broken . donald trump returned to the us capitol for the first time since the attack january 6th,

2021, and he was surrounded by gop lawmakers. as this is an outstanding group of people, i'm with them 1,000. there was me 1,000. we agree just about on everything. and if there isn't, we work it out. and we've had a i've had a really great relationship with just about everybody here, with everybody here and just about all of the senators. and if it wasn't fantastic, it gets worked out. now, those inside the meeting tell nbc news that trump suggested ending ending. rather, the federal income tax, replacing it with tariffs, money americans would pay for purchasing goods made outside of the united states. it's a it's a form of federal sales tax. those in the meeting say trump also made disparaging comments about milwaukee, which is the site of the republican national convention. the republicans lost wisconsin last time because of milwaukee, which is one of the reasons they're going to milwaukee. here's the mayor. i find it kind of perplexing. i

find it kind of strange that he would insult the largest city in wisconsin because he's running for president. he obviously wants to win wisconsin. we all win the election. and so to insult the state that's hosting your convention, i think is kind of kind of bizarre, actually. it's kind of unhinged in a way. the senate judiciary committee says there are yet more instances of clarence thomas accepting private airplane trips from a billionaire friend, trips is not documented on his financial disclosures, including one to san jose in june of 2021. we don't know why we do expect more decisions from the high court to be published today at 7 a.m. our time. so about 12 minutes, including presidential immunity, possibly another abortion case, and whether domestic abusers should get their guns back, undoing part of the federal violence against women act, though, of course, it would count for any abusers of any gender. ginger that's a tough one, scott. i've got to give you that one. all right.

well, we'll be watching out for those decisions, though. it's a big one in just a few hours. alameda county fair kicks off its summer run in pleasanton, okay. and that's where we find today in the bay's bob redell with some of the stars of this year's fair. oh look at them go. should we hold our a pause here? yeah. we found somebody who's woken up this morning who has not had their coffee yet. i mean, this dog has no energy. you're looking at tempo. the dog and macy his trainer. we got kari here with the canine star stunt dog show. it's a new feature here at the alameda county fairgrounds. and i think a lot of people would be surprised to hear that these dogs, they're not they're rescue. yeah, they are rescue dogs. almost all of them. we picked them up from shelters. opal here was adopted from just a shelter in florida. she was just found as a stray. now she's a superstar. and what about tempo? tempo is from salt lake city, utah. he's a border collie and he's only a year old. and already he is amazing. oh, i see

up for our holiday weekend here we are starting off the morning a bit cool with that june gloom through petaluma in the upper 40s, san francisco as well. starting to clear those skies. our temperatures today are going to be a bit warmer. you'll notice a bit of a difference compared to what we were dealing with yesterday. as we go up into santa rosa, we'll do those upper 80s as well as over on in fairfield, upper 60s in san francisco to some mid 70s hayward and 84 in los gatos. it should be a nice and comfortable day through the santa cruz mountains as well. but let's take a look at the alameda county fair. of course, kickoff day is today. tomorrow temperatures stay pretty much the same. we notice a bit of a cool down on sunday as we track this system to the pacific northwest. now for the states of washington and oregon, it means some rain showers for us. we're going to maybe skip out on that rain, but potentially see some impacts from the wind here, depending on where this system sets up. right now we're looking at some onshore winds. so that's good luck. as we get that sea breeze. but at times it could shift to be offshore. so that's where we get into more inactive mode. on watching out for any

wildfires. so i'll be here all weekend long to help you through those changes. of course. and let's take a look at that 7-day forecast while you worry about this. and i worry about the wind ahead. san francisco upper 60s there through the next couple of days. we'll watch for those wind speeds. juneteenth on wednesday, summer. on thursday, all of the activities are coming up and our inland 7-day forecast. we shouldn't stray too far from the 80s over the next couple of days. mike. the big issue car fires. yeah, car fire here. highway 37 restricted already because of just a couple lanes in each direction on one lane now in each direction open. got that confirmed. both left lanes are blocked because of an issue. the earlier car fire leaves. i believe parts of that car melted onto the center divide. they have to decide what they're going to do. caltrans is on or caltrans will have to decide that. but the westbound commute now slow out of vallejo, over toward novato. back to you. thank you very much, mike. it is 654 and happening now. san francisco continues its juneteenth events following the parade last weekend. at noon
