colin kaepernick is taking on the president. yahoo! sports reports his legal team will pursue a federal subpoena in the coming weeks, for president trump and vice president pence and others. kaepernick has a collusion case against nfl. he says the teams are black balling him because of his protest during the national anthem. he said he never protested the actual anthem as the press has often claimed. trump routinely talks about the protest. the nfl even changed its policy as a result. just this week he disinvited super bowl champs from the white house visit over the issue. >> 6:44, live pictures of the dumbarton bridge. measure 3 just passed by voters. we'll find how it will help bay ferries. it was approved in seven out of nine. it raises tolls over the next

border aren't breaking the law. they are following the law. our asylum law works that way. show up at the border. if you're fleeing persecution, we will protect you. attorney general jeff sessions says some aren't showing up in the proper designated crossings. that's true. generally speaking the people we're talking about in this court case are following the law. second, president trump says the first lady appeared with the president at a hurricane planning meeting. here is the president speaking for the first lady. >> a rough patch. she's doing great. we're very proud of her. she's done a fantastic job as first lady. the people love you. the people of the country love you. yesterday the president went on twitter to palace mainstream media he claims said she had a

face-lift or even she was being abused. first we know of no such speculation. as for anger that people were supposedly giving her a hard time for facebook -- face-lift, mika brzezinski took issue with that. the msnbc did have a face-lift. president trump, not candidate trump, president trump said he did not invite her to a party because she was, quote, bleeding badly from a face-lift and i said no. the president has called mika, low iq woman, dumb as a rock and crazy. president will meet with shinzo abe ahead of the g-8 in canada. "the washington post" said the president doesn't want to go. angela merkel will go. you can read body language on this one. she told german newspaper she expected the meeting to be contentious. we're curious what you think

about president trump on twitter @scottmcgrew. 6:47, new this morning, how do you feel about self-driving cars. bay area drivers aren't sold just yet according to a new pole by bay area council. 46% of 1,000 had took the survey said they would ride in such a car but down from 52% a year ago. nearly 40% said they would not get in a vehicle without a human driver. they are very aware of crashes. also in the bay area, tech center, development center for a lot of vehicles, people are well aware computers are not infallible. >> if you see them in san francisco, people double parked or have to stop, they have to sit there. they can't go around. sitting there, can't they just go around. no, they can't. >> kari has a look at our forecast today.
