6:14 am
facebook says it will crack down harder on political ads. not only do they want to know who is paying for them, facebook will demand tax i.d. ahead of the 2020 presidential elections. i'd be surprised if you knew who this guy is but he's stirring up washington. he's william dudley. he used to be the vice chairman of the federal open markets committee, the group that decides interest rates. he suggested the fed not order lower rates to hurt president trump's chances of winning in 2020. he says this is a legitimate idea because the fed is supposed to protect the american economy. and he says trump is hurting it. in an op-ed published in bloomberg he wrote "trump's re-election arguably presents a threat to the u.s. and global economy to the fed's independence and its ability to achieve employment and inflation on objectives." he argues the fed has a responsibility to stop trump from being reelected.
6:15 am
it's exactly the kind of political fight the fed is trying to avoid. the current fed governors were quick to distance themselves from this wild idea. peloton bike filed the paperwork for an ipo. the exercise bikemaker or clothing rack maker depending how you use it, will trade on the nasdaq. the company is worth billions. a thought this was interesting our consumer reporter chris chmura was tweeting about the safety video from japan airlines, different from american safety briefings. warnings about this guy, don't take your luggage with you when you go out onto the slide. then causes all these problems. you remember that crash in moscow in may that caught fire, the plane did, after a bumpy emergency landing. video showed people exiting with their luggage and there was the entire possibility -- people died on that flight. there is the possibility that some of that was people getting their luggage. >> exactly, because other people behind them couldn't get off. >> which is insane.

6:17 am
cool for the coast and we are all going to see a very nice sunrise. so get the camera ready and you can post the pictures on my facebook or twitter pages. let's check it out from dublin, here is a look at our camera there as the sun comes up over the hills and it's all because we are feeling a little bit more humidity in the air. we'll be at about 62 degrees at 7:00, going from 62 to 65 at k so for some of the later commuters, it is going to be very mild. no need for a jacket this morning and it's going to be heating up again today reaching 89 degrees in east san jose, and 88 degrees in gilroy. the temperatures are lower than when we started the we. we were in triple digits. today in concord reaching 91, that's still warm when you factor in it's going to feel very muggy outside. san francisco 69 degrees is the high along the embarcadero and
6:18 am
sonoma today reaching 83 degrees. high pressure is moving away, that's causing the heat to back off but we're also drawing in more of the tropical clouds and the higher humidity from the remnants of what was the tropical storm ivo. as we go through the rest of the day, there may be storms firing up over the sierra, but we're going to see more clouds. by the end of the week we see the storm system approaching the pacific northwest and for us, that changes the wind flow. makes us feel a little bit better. as we check out our temperatures for the inland areas, some of our warmer spots reaching the upper 80s. mid 80s tomorrow and drier by the end of the week into the weekend. saturday is a nice day to get outside with some mid 80s and for san francisco upper 60s today. a few more clouds. we'll see the fog moving by the bay and low 70s extending into early next week. mike, you are checking out the hazard lights out of hayward. >> folks check out this live
