tell you i was just as blind as everybody else because until kaepernick took his knee, none of us looked at the national -- we just sang it rotely. we were taught to sing the first stanza and that was that. >> it's not even part of the song we currently sing today so all of this is really much ado about nothing. >> the naacp is lobbying state lawmakers to encourage congress to rescind the national anthem when the legislature reconvenes in january. a new survey finds support for a new a's stadium. the team wants to build a 35,000-seat stadium there. drone view 7 took shots of the area earlier this year. the oakland chamber of commerce said 62% support the stadium. 31% are opposed. now opponents say the ballpark would displace renters and small businesses, supporters say the location is ideal because it's close to both b.a.r.t. and interstate 880. on the heels of violent protests over conservative speaker, stanford college republicans are hosting a controversial guest of their

own. author robert spencer. we're having issues with the prompter. there we go. spencer is either a religious scholar or islamaphobe. republicans added him to add perspective to a conversation about international security, end quote. student fees will partially fund the event that has upset some students and they're now circulating a petition against the speaker. san francisco police are citing the driver of a runaway dump truck for negligence. look at this video. the truck rolled backwards down the street between vallejo and broadway on tuesday. and that caused a big mess. police say it hit nine parked cars. an investigation found the driver ignored safety precautions and did not curb the tires. the truck was overloaded and the emergency brakes malfunctioned. a driverless shuttle bus launched in las vegas yesterday, crashing less than an hour later. this is just a fender-bender. police say none of the eight peole onboard were hurt. the driverless vehicle stopped

like it was supposed to but a big rig kept backing up and actually hit the shuttle. another sierra ski resort is open for business. >> let's look at video from boreal which opened yesterday. mt. rose started up on tuesday. boreal is traditionally one of the first ski areas to open every year. heavenly, north star, squaw valley plan to open a week from tomorrow. >> i have to say i'm liking this music. right? doesn't it make you want to get down and ski? no? no. we have a big one behind us because, yes, that is our storm impact scale and we are a level one, mike, which means we probably need an umbrella, right? >> i would think so and patience on the roads. poor frances so busy following all these accidents. we have a chance of waves of scattered showers through about, well, the evening commute tomorrow. a look at the exploratorium cam. wet weather could come at anytime. be ready for that. a little sunshine dodging through those clouds so it will

be partly sunny with the scattered showers. a better chance for all of us later on tonight through tomorrow morning at this time and the extended we have another chance sunday and monday and wednesday and thursday. not very strong storms but there are still chances of rain. temperatures today about 63 to 68. we may be cooler at the coast, 62. up north ukiah and clear lake. tonight will be another mild night. we have a southerly breeze that's going to keep us warm and humid. more humid than normal. we'll keep the scattered showers going, about 50 to 55 when you wake up tomorrow. a look at kensington and east richmond. you can see heading down to albany some wet weather there through rodeo and highway 4 as you look from hercules back towards about concord and we have stanford gaining wet weather this morning, also. here's what happens over the next few hours. you can see the transition to

scattered showers mainly across the north bay, takes place after the morning commute and it pretty much stays there. there could be a random shower elsewhere. that's just the best area. at 7:00 we wind down the evening commute with scattered showers in the north bay. as we head to the morning commute look at the scattered showers reach all the way down into the south bay. so it could be wet then, also. my accuweather seven-day forecast, still looking fantastic. rain in the evening sunday and showers and breezy monday. frances, it's all yours. >> with the wet roads we've had numerous accidents, lots of spinouts. here is a live shot of 101 in san rafael. looks like the lanes just reopened in the last few minutes. south 101 there near lincoln. traffic is backed up but hopefully that will start to clear up pretty quickly and the drive times south 101, santa rosa is over an hour. 1:02. i want to talk about mass transit because that's a great way to go.

so far ace, muni, b.a.r.t. reporting no delays. it's a mess out there. numerous accidents southbound 880 past 16 causing delays. more accidents in my next report. guys? from the live desk this morning, a very bizarre chase on a california freeway involving an rv. and take a look here, this is san diego. highway patrol pursuing a large rv started in pacific beach and the rv has arkansas plates. the chp put down spike strips to blow out the tires but the driver actually kept going and was driving without any tires. sparks were flying on the freeway. the driver finally pulled over but refused to get out. at one point officers actually surrounded the rv with guns drawn. thank goodness things ended peacefully a short time ago. a man and woman were both arrested. right now they are working on opening back up that very busy freeway in southern california.
