now. that's the measure of work and produ production we as americans do as a team. predictions put that at 1%. that would be slower than last year. first quarter gdp is always a difficult number to calculate. just a few days ago, president trump skewered obama's last year in office. the u.s. recorded its slowest economic growth in five years. gdp up only 1.6%. trade deficits hurt the economy very badly, he said. if we use just the prediction of this, the first quarter, mr. trump is off to a slower start than president obama. speaking of the white house, there was some confusion among white house staffers about the proposed tax cut. white house press secretary sean spicer indicated 401(k)s would no longer be tax deferred. that would be a huge change to tax policy and hit your retirement funds hard. the white house then reversed that. the tax proposals have been thin on detail and that has led to

but you know, the definition of courage is doing something in spite of the fact that you have fear about it. >> no doubt about that. degeneres was a trail blazer. that show lasted one season after, but she would find new success, and the rest is history, as her talk show. >> right here on nbc bay area every day at 4:00. she's great. isn't that amazing now to look back and go it was ground breaking? and now. >> the kids would say, what? >> everything we have gone through in the bay area with gay marriage and we could go on and on. >> by the way, ellen degeneres cracks me up. everything she does, especially when she emotes, moves around. amazing. >> love the dancing. >> she loves the bay area, too. she adopted a dog from here. >> let's start dancing into the weekend. it's friday. >> the dog days of summer? >> not yet. not yet. we don't want it to be hot, but that's what's in the forecast. let's talk about that.

arriving. trains are traveling, but i'll explain the problem coming up. maybe some improvement there. mike, thank you very much. 5:44 on your friday. put this on the calendar. monday is may day, a day when across the globe march for workers rights. >> it's a pretty big deal here. this year, no exception. announcers are announcing google and other companies will not punish workers who want to join the may day rally. this year, demonstrators will also protest president trump's policies. >> the policies that have been coming from the federal government have been affecting a variety of us. and you know, the people that are affected come from different backgrounds, whether you're a top engineer or somebody that's a subcontracted worker, you're still asecretary of staaffected. >> it will begin at king road. >> president trump this morning is warning that the situation in north korea may turn to war. >> scott mcgrew talks about the

white house this morning. >> president trump said there's a chance, i'm quoting him, we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. absolutely, he said. this is the first time in american history a president has openly discussed the possibility of a war with a nuclear-armed opponent. north korea showing off its artillery in a drill. remember, there are hundreds of artillery pieces pointed at seoul, south korea. they can level that city with conventional weapons. north korea hasn't tested a nuclear device yet, and america has made it clear if will attack if north korea does. why president trump brought up the specific possibility of war now in an interview with reuters is not clear. he calls it, again, major, major conflict. there's a lot of movement on the diplomatic front as well. secretary of state rex tillerson seen here with the vietnamese foreign minister tells npr the united states is willing to negotiate person to person with north korea. this is a change in u.s. policy

up until now, we insisted other countries take part. and as recently as last month, tillerson said direct talks were not possible. the united states has called for a meeting of the united nations security council. america will not be asking for any kind of resolution. rather we're told ambassador nikki haley will brief other countries and then once again ask china to step in and convince its ally, north korea, to back down. we're counting down the hours now on a functioning government as well. congress has to pass a budget or a temporary compromise or the government shuts down. it looks good. president trump has dropped his demand for funding for a wall. republicans have dropped their demand to push a second push for health care through. it just doesn't have the vote. as he ends his first 100 days, president trump in an interview with reuters on thursday said, quote, this is more work than my previous life. i thought it would be easier.

something most presidents have probably thought too. >> thank you very much, scott. >> scott mcgrew, of course, examining our president's tweets, executive orders and speeches every morning. you can share your thoughts with scott on twitter. >> a setback for equal pay advocates at the ninth circuit court of appeals. the court ruled employers can legally pay women less than men for the same work based on differences in past salaries. this decision overturned a lower court ruling labeling the practice unfair. the new decision cited a 1982 ruling saying it's allowed so long as it's applied reasonably and was justified by the business policy. 5:48 right now. happening today, a very special event for us and certainly for all of the great people being recognized. that is from last year. we're looking at hundreds of people, about 500 who will be recognized in santa clara county attending the san jose junior league volunteer recognition luncheon. there's laura.

these are people who have generously, and i mean generously, given their time, energy, and skills with everything ls going on in their lives to improve the live fz of others. >> it's going to be a fun event. we'll be emceeing. we hope to see you there. >> i'm one of our favorites. >> i'll be not far from you. >> come on over. >> this is for uplift, family services. they help foster kids. some of those volunteers you're honoring may have been from this organization as well. you never know. >> that's the great thing about silicon valley. you see how all of these worlds intersect. >> celebrating their 150th anniversary. >> it's a feel-good friday. >> that's what we'll call it. >> also a hot friday. warmer. >> warmer friday. we'll save the hot for next week. because it will be heating up oh the never few days. it's cool as you step out the door now. as we get this friday started, we have a beautiful sunrise.

that makes it easier to get out of bed, right? take a look at this view of the golden gate bridge. as the cars drive across, no fog. no mist, no drizzle. none of that stuff we started out this week with. it's 49 degrees heading out the door, looking at the current temperatures. it's 50 in santa rosa. also 50 for oakland, palo alto, and 51 degrease in san jose. after this cool start, it warms up nicely into the upper 70s. even low 80s for spots like concord, and in oakland, up to 74. 79 for napa and santa rosa and san francisco at 68. it will also be breezy today. let me show you the wind speeds. these arrows show where the wind is coming from. a northerly wind, and the numbers are the wind speeds in miles per hour. 15 to 25, maybe even higher as we head into the evening along the coastline and in san francisco. so this breezy day, here's how you get ready as you look out the window, we're looking into the closet to figure out what we need for this day. and definitely a hat is in order

with the winds blowing the hair around. and some short sleeves because it will be a warmer afternoon after this cool start. but if you're going to be out at at&t park, you need more than long sleeves. it's going to be a cool evening, and temperatures start out at 63 at first pitch and dropping back to the upper 50s by this evening. and if you'll be hitting the road heading to kirkwood, still a lot of snow. that's a live picture. it's going to be up to 38 degrees today. and then some upper 40s to low 50s for the weekend. a lot of sunshine. we'll also see some sunshine for the bay area. temperatures in the 70s. and for the inland areas. that's what we're talking about, the hot weather into the upper 80s the middle to end of next week. mike's checking out what's happening on b.a.r.t. in oakland. >> we turned our camera to the coliseum station. you see the b.a.r.t. train, a northbound train. on cue, a southbound train. trains are running through oakland, but not running fully

restroom. >> sometimes, they have little recourse. here's vicky nguyen. >> good morning. while these crimes are on the rise, we found peeping toms only serve six months to a year for secretly recording lewd videos with a hidden camera. it's considered a misdemeanor unless the pervert is a repeat offender. our investigation began after a woman and at least one other coworker were secretly recorded in the ladies room at alma electronics in fremont. she said she was surprised and disappointed by the police response. fremont police only interviewed the victims and the resources director. elma said the company is watching its restrooms for suspicious activity. we learned last year, prosecutors in the bay area's three biggest counties charged peeping toms in 29 cases. cases that were practically nonexist nlt before these cameras gault so good, small, and cheap. investigators have seen cameras hidden in restroom trash cans. even people recording their room
