a team of law enforcement now tackling fentanyl trafficking in the tenderloin district. we're live with more on the new plan

in place to slow down the drug use. plus, on the campaign trail, the first lady doctor, jill biden, is in the bay area ahead of the big fundraiser. she's set to attend later this afternoon and state of emergency in the sunshine state as florida is inundated with flooding. a look at the damage now left behind and the ongoing cleanup efforts. this is today in the bay good friday morning to you, 5:00 right now. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia, and i'm ginger conejero saab marcus washington is off now. we will check with cinthia pimentel on our weather. but first we're going to start with mike inouye. you are tracking a fatal crash in san jose. mike. yeah, this is an 80 highway 87. and it actually just cleared from the roadway. we have video from the scene just a few minutes ago. north bound, 87 at the taylor off ramp. there was a pedestrian that was hit and killed earlier this morning just before 3 a.m. they have completed all the investigation, all the crews have cleared, and now the on ramp just reopened. let's take a look at the map

here. we're talking about north 87. there's still a little bit of slowing there. still crews that have to clear from the area. but the off ramp itself is fully open, as has 87 been for the last half an hour through the area. there was major slowing there. that has cleared and it should be completely clear probably by the time you get there if you're leaving your house now, but now north 101, we're seeing more slowing around blossom hill this crash. i'm told no injuries and it's over on the shoulder, but i'll monitor that. that's early slowing for that southern part of san jose. meanwhile the rest of the bay shows a nice easy drive, but we're looking at the bay bridge it's clear. should be lighter volume on friday. but cynthia clearly we will have changes there at least as far as the volume goes. yeah and better clearing for our skies. enjoying that friday feeling. good morning everyone. we'll start with 54 in san jose. we've got some patchy clouds moving around the bay, especially up there in the north bay. parts of the tri valley. we'll do some cool four days up there in novato and 52 in the city. a bit warmer today to get that weekend going. 60s at the coast to some 80s inland. however, we are tracking some weekend changes making those

father's day plans. i'll tell you why you might want to bring them inside. some elevated fire danger coming. our way. i'll guide you through that in a few minutes. back to you. sounds good. we'll check back with you. well, law enforcement ramping up its crackdown on the drug problem inside san francisco's tenderloin today in the bay's bob redell joins us live this morning. bob, are they finding that this crackdown is 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 the fbi, they say they have, quote, recently ramped up nighttime, operations. in other words, they're going after the drug dealers in the during the after hours in the tenderloin neighborhood of san francisco. and so far they have seized they say, 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 drug dealers 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 arresting street dealers and suppliers of fentanyl near federal buildings in san francisco, cracking down on money services, operation, who launder drug money, who turn a blind eye to what's going on. they've got targeted wiretaps

and arrests and searches throughout the greater bay area to stem the flow of drugs into sf, and also fast tracking federal cases, which sometimes then take as little as a month. and federal adoption of state cases to put the federal muscle behind those criminal complaints. reporting live bob redell today in the bay. all right. really important work that they're doing there because it trickles to other areas. thanks, bob, for the latest. turning now to decision 2024. with the presidential election just months away, president biden commanding attention on the world stage in italy. now he's there attending the g7 summit. biden hoping to unify countries behind ukraine while in washington, a former president donald trump, the presumptive gop nominee meeting with republican lawmakers looking ahead to a possible. second term today in the bay's alice barr joins us in washington with more. and alice, both men are setting the stage for what the next four years

could look like. ginger. that's right. and very different settings here on capitol hill for former president trump and overseas for president biden. and starting there, they're going to be more high stakes meetings today. after the g7 summit opened with agreement on a us led $50 billion loan for ukraine used using frozen assets from russia. president biden at the g7 summit in italy, shoring up alliances with other leading democracies and preparing for a sit down 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 to 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. and while overseas, president biden also

made his first on camera comments since his son hunter's conviction on felony gun charges, the president saying that he's extremely proud of how hunter has overcome addiction and having already ruled out pardoning his son, the president now saying that he would not either erase or shorten his sentence if hunter is given prison time, ginger. thank you. alice from washington. first lady doctor jill biden is in the bay area for another fundraising event. she landed at moffett field in mountain view last night. doctor biden flew in from minnesota, where she spoke at a campaign event. today. the first lady will attend a campaign fundraiser in los gatos. it's hosted by the cto of microsoft, kevin scott, and bay area political organizer stacey mason. after the event in los gatos, she's off to reno for more campaigning. just days after a man was killed by a hit and run driver in san francisco's bernal heights

neighborhood. one group is demanding better safety protections. the man was struck and killed on monday on mission and cortland avenue. it's the 10th pedestrian death this year in the city. san francisco bay area families for safe streets and walk san francisco created a memorial at the scene, putting up yellow hearts for the people who have been killed over the years. now, the groups say even though the city will launch speed cameras next year, more action needs to be taken now. we have to keep reminding our city's leaders that these are pedestrians and families being devastated by simply trying to cross the street. now, last year, 17 people died in traffic related incidents. san francisco's vision zero plan to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024 just hit ten years, a heads up for commuters, caltrans has announced the partial closure of highway 17 at redwood estates to big moody curve in los gatos.

one northbound lane will be closed starting this morning from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. crews will be doing emergency guardrail repair in that area. well, cleanup efforts happening now across florida after severe storms. there the storms flooded roads and homes. miami-dade and four other counties remain under a state of emergency due to this catastrophic flooding. the storm system also creating a lot of travel nightmares. hundreds of flights are delayed or canceled, and while people who live there work to try to dry things out, more rain is on the way. forecaster cinthia pimentel has a closer look. so how much rain are they expecting? they need a break. they're expecting a couple more inches, but really ground is saturated. anything at this point about a quarter of an inch of rain could trigger some more flash flood warnings in that area. now, june is typically the wettest month there in the sunshine state, and over the last couple of days they've seen more than 20in in some spots. and as we carry this forecast through into saturday, we are seeing the rain subside a little bit, but still an active

caribbean. we can see about 2 to 4in there through florida as we go in into the next 24 hours. now a warmer atmosphere as we battle climate change is going to potentially mean that the atmosphere holds more moisture and it just dumps a lot of rain wherever the system sets up. now, we'll continue to watch that there. let's come back here into the bay area. what we're tracking here is going to be a system up to the pacific northwest for the week, how south it moves and what that impacts mean with the wind and the potential fire danger. so we'll be talking about that in my full forecast in just a second. but mike is helping you get around this weekend with some cheaper gas prices. yeah. and at least one of our reference points is holding still here. livermore. it's held the lead for an entire week, still at $3.74. a diamond, gas and mart on south front road right off of 580. there now the best in the south bay by comparison. about $0.50 higher. it's 425 at star gas on hillsdale avenue. that's in san jose. and then in the north bay valero in vallejo. that's 429 at

the shop on springs road. you're all sharing those prices. gasbuddy.com you can get those prices as well. on the roadways, we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic. nice drive. the crash on 87 has cleared from taylor. the exit there is open but north 101. even though all lanes are open, the activities on the shoulder clearly a distraction for folks traveling north from the 101 and 85 split lighter traffic. but again, that distraction there a 580. the only slowing is out of the altamont pass. everything else is at its minimum for the morning drive back to you. all right. let's hope it stays smooth. thanks, mike. using ai to help you present yourself as an ideal employee candidate. but coming up on today in the bay, the new feature job search engine linkedin is now offering to some of its users. and tesla shareholders say elon musk should get his mega bonus now. will he actually get the money? it'somplicated. and c

lots of headlights coming towards us out in dublin. we're going to see a clear start to the day out there in the tri valley. temperatures right now in the low 50s as we go through the mid morning, warming up into the 70s by lunchtime, and we'll see a nice comfortable day today. slightly warmer, but there is a windy weekend ahead. i'll guide you through those gusty winds ahead. coming up. all right. we're looking at tail lights going away from us. that's the commute direction for 101 south through san rafael is the san pedro exit mark on that green sign in the middle.

everything is smooth from here down to the golden gate bridge. we'll watch the traffic build here. should be a little later for the slowing to start on this friday, but still, we're watching for any unusual patterns coming up. well good morning. very happy friday to you. now you've come to expect me to say stock market indices will start at new records. so stock market indices will start at new records at least the s&p 500 and the nasdaq not the dow. not today anyway. now 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 heir to the tyson fortune, was also previously found to sleep in the wrong house about two years ago. we've been talking about stock splits. nvidia did a ten for one. so too did broadcom. well, 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, one of richard

branson's companies, fell below a dollar, which risks delisting from the stock market. the company sent tourists into space , so it is doing what it said it would do. meantime, reuters reports some of the fasteners used on the boeing 787 dreamliner may not have been installed correctly. now, fortunately, those 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 will mention january 5th. that's the day that door plug blew off a737. 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 what it would be when he's supposed to get it $56 billion, or what it's worth now around 45 billion. whatever. it's the biggest bonus in american history. 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 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 on tesla, and musk hope by proving shareholders are okay with it, the judge will relent. musk made all kinds of new predictions during yesterday's shareholder meeting, including the plan to staff the tesla factories with 1000 optimist robots by this time. next year, maybe a few thousand, he said. this time next year, it's june 14th, 2024. we'll put that on our calendar. june 14th, 2025 a thousand robots in the factory. wow.

we'll see. you may had a lot of layoffs. i know people that were affected. yes. so he's getting billions, tens of billions of dollars. they're laying off a lot of people and promising new robots, which you will remember. he promised a million robo taxis by the year 2020. so i haven't seen one. we'll see what happens. we'll see what happens. we know what's going to happen. mark your calendar. yes. thanks, scott. you bet. well, new this morning linkedin is tapping into artificial intelligence to get you a new job. well, that is if you are a premium subscriber. linkedin says the new ai powered features can help users build tailored resumes for specific jobs, and it can even help draft a cover letter. the website will also help job seekers refine their search, allowing them to ask linkedin to find jobs that fit specific requirements like salary, location or remote work. also, linkedin is giving premium users access to ai chat bots that can provide advice on business related topics. where was that when we were right out

of college? right, exactly. trying to type a resume. i know. well, police in the north bay respond to an unusual call reminiscent of something that you might see at a local fair. yeah, let's say it happened. what happened to them? had them go on hog wild. look at that little pig goes basketball. police received a multiple calls yesterday of a pig piglet named pickles on the loose along gravenstein highway north. officers say it was no ordinary little porker. very fast and strong for its age, pickles was eventually caught blocks away and reunited with his mother. but boy had them breathing heavy. i wonder if he's named pickles because he eats a lot of pickles. does that help you? he was in a pickle. oh, that's a that's a better one. it wasn't in petaluma. was nearby. the pickles. the pig in petaluma. there you go. that much harder for you. sounds like a children's book. that was good to say. that's perfect.

underestimate the piggies running fast. well, at least he wasn't running on slippery ground. it was. maybe the sun was out. clear roads ahead. the interaction is that. is that what it's going to look like? yeah, that's what it's going to look like. we're going to get our running and exercise done a little bit earlier today, as we're looking at some slightly warmer temperatures. but we go up to the north bay awaiting the sunrise. it's cooler right now, 45 in san rafael. some patchy clouds there through san francisco and southern marin. low 50s. we come down here into san jose and already seeing the beautiful sunshine there in the foothills at 54. what can we expect for today? we've got a few more mid to upper 80s on our map here for parts of the north bay. santa rosa 82, in wine country. that's nice for napa. and we continue the upper 80s out there in concord through parts of the south county and morgan hill. a media bay will do upper 60s for san francisco to some mid 70s in hayward. not much to write home about for tomorrow. it will be a tranquil day, but we do have to start talking about some changes

ahead, making our father's day weekend plans. i talked about this a few minutes ago. we're watching how this system in the pacific northwest will impact not only california, but also the pacific northwest. if you have any plans to travel into oregon and seattle next, the next couple of days, as far as our wind speeds go, it will be breezy as we get into our lunchtime plans and into our evening plans. we'll look at san francisco around 30 mile an hour. winds gusty out towards the marin coastline and our typical spots to watch the dry east bay hills. over the next couple of days, we fast forward this timestamp into saturday. still some really gusty winds. we go on into sunday, father's day. you might want to consider bringing some of those plans indoors and keeping an eye on some elevated fire danger through our hills, through our mountain passes, even fast forwarding this on into monday, those contours continue to be pretty elevated, so make sure you create that defensible space , making sure that the drivers around you are also taking those safety precautions and using the girls with dad on a paved

surface to avoid anything sparking up that could travel fast. san francisco over the next couple of days, we will keep it nice and mild. there breezy at times and into juneteenth. it looks like some fabulous weather on wednesday. now mike, you're tracking more crashes in san jose. a couple more on the chp grid here. we're looking at 85 southbound direction over on the shoulder here, as well as 87 completely unrelated to the other activity on 87. and that's also on the shoulder. so those no injuries reported for either of those crashes, but they did pop up visible on the grid. this was hidden by the 82 shield. we're going to talk about this on northbound 101. just until about two minutes ago. we had some slowing that shows up. even though the crash at blossom hill was on its shoulder. looks like the activity must have calmed down because it did clear from the area. did want to show you the approach to the bay bridge and the approach to the approach to the bay bridge. everything is moving very smoothly this friday. looking light back to you, the approach to the approach. all right. thank you mike. next on today in the bay.

on this weekend's commencement ceremony and the big name speaker. also a new state report calling out one major bay area transit agency. the new findings just released and the reforms state auditors say should happen now. this is today in the bay good morning and happy friday. i'm ginger conejero saab marcus washington is off. nice to have you, ginger. especially on a friday. let's. i'm laura garcia. let's start with a look at the forecast forecaster cinthia pimentel she's tracking what we can expect. should be nice. should be a nice day. we are getting into that friday vibe. it's a big like sweater weather this morning as you dash out the door. but into this afternoon you can put it aside. we've got a bit of a warmer day compared to what we were dealing with yesterday. 60s by the coast to some mid to upper 80s in our inland valleys. of course, we can't get rid of that breeze. our natural ac is with us. we can be thankful for it, right? but into the weekend we are looking at a windy father's day weekend there. some places even have a fire weather watch in

place. i'll show you the map for that. of course we keep an eye with fire danger deeper into the season, but looking ahead into next season, we're already tracking la nina. a shift to that as we go on into late summer, and what it could mean for the bay area. i'll guide you through that. coming up in a few minutes. but right now, mike, we're looking at the san mateo bridge. any issues? no, it's looking good. i mean, there's a good amount of traffic, and often we see friday's lighter at this time, so we'll track that closely. show you a little bit of haze there. but you can still make out the high rise. not a problem. cynthia gave you a look at the day ahead. so we'll talk about the traffic right now looking at 92 and 84 moving smoothly across san mateo and dumbarton bridges, there may be a new incident, a new crash down in san jose just as that slowing starts for 101 will track that. but over here we're looking at the dublin interchange. nothing big. a little build for 84 in the commute direction and also 580 i want you to notice at the top of the screen it is northbound vasco road that suddenly shows some slower sensors. we're going to track that. that's very unusual, especially on a friday. but

unusual. that's counter commute for now. we'll send it back to you. thank you. mike, developing right now at stanford, a recent graduates are getting ready to celebrate a big weekend ending with a main commencement this sunday. it certainly follows a chaotic few weeks that included protesters occupying the school president's office today in the base. kris sanchez, you see her there live at stanford this morning. so what should people really expect if they're headed to the ceremonies? you know, the biggest change you're going to see is going to be at the main commencement ceremony, which is on sunday, and that is now going to be a ticketed event. so only people with tickets will be able to go. no problem. there's no fee or fine or anything like that. people just have to plan ahead now because of this protest. about a week ago, some students actually won't be walking the stage at all. they will not be allowed to graduate. 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 and after months of on campus, the university said it was starting to threaten the community's safety, though the students there said that protest remained peaceful. it had nothing to do with what happened at the president's office. some students vowed to return to that encampment. now, the main commencement ceremony is on sunday. again, that is a ticketed event. you can go on to the stanford website if you are going to attend. there are some ceremonies and festivities leading up to that point. you'll want to make sure that you read through the restrictions. there is also a clear bag policy, which is pretty typical here at stanford, as well if you are headed this way, but it is a kind of a culmination of months of unrest on some of our campuses. so we'll have to see what happens once the summer goes into swing and then once the fall begins as well. at stanford, kris sanchez today in the bay be interesting to see if those protests come back on sunday at the commencement. thank you. thank you chris.

yeah. 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 all boarded up there. well, it all comes as jarring new video is emerging of that large smash and grab. take a look at this. it happened on wednesday in sunnyvale. police say about 20 people armed with picks and hammers. they spread out, started breaking glasses and taking whatever they could get their hands on. the good news here authorities actually later made five arrests, they believe, of people who are connected to the crime, and now they're working to identify other suspects. one neighbor 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 also invested, stating whether the same

suspects are tied to a similar smash and grab at the nearby knitting jewelers. last month, about ten thieves were actually involved in that crime. a follow up now 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 in that city in san francisco. earlier this week, the victim, pablo rocha, talked with nbc bay area and you can see there he managed to escape the attack by climbing a store fence. the dog's owners are also 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 s 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 that audit back 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 eastridge 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. the shooting happened yesterday afternoon 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 led to some chaos and confusion in what residents call a normally quiet neighborhood. we just kind of do , you know, we just kind of live day to day and this type of activity is really shocking. now we know the victim was shot in

the torso. their condition is still unclear. the relationship between the victim and the suspect is also unknown. we know some are still a few days away, but some are fun in full force across the bay area on saturday, san jose will be hosting the first daytime rave downtown, and tonight the alameda county fair will be kicking off. and of course, sunday is father's day. so many people may be out and out about with their families joining us now to see how the weather will be for the weekend. cinthia pimentel filling in for kari. it should be nice. should be nice, a bit windy. so we'll track those changes. of course, as we go on into our coasts and our hills. but let's get the weekend started out in pleasanton today and tomorrow. temperatures in the low 80s. there plenty of sunshine. so drink your water, wear your sunscreen and your hats. you will notice a bit of a cooldown on sunday as we track those gusty winds. it's friday! music in the square is back in redwood

city, so if you find yourself along the peninsula, that's some very nice weather there for the start of it and then into the evening. make sure you bring your lawn chairs, your blankets, everything to keep you warm. if you don't get out there today, you have until august, so plenty of time. let's go out to the east bay barbecue and brews. maybe dad's favorite, clayton is hosting the barbecue and brews festival out there tomorrow, 11 to 6, and we see it warming up in the east bay in the mid 80s. so just be careful with the barbecues out there along the hillsides coming down here into san jose. of course, we talked about the daytime rave in downtown discovery meadow park that goes from 2 to 9. so hopefully in the music doesn't keep you up. if you're trying to take an afternoon nap, don't worry, we're going to keep temperatures in the upper 70s and quiet things down into the evening. now, mike, you have another report on san jose. what's going on? we keep getting these reports popping up. thankfully, nothing really major right now. there's a hazard reported a disabled vehicle right at the 682 8101 that

interchange right there. so watch that. no lanes reportedly blocked will possibly sticking out into your fast lane. i think it got to the center divide. but we'll continue to track that. the slowing we see right here that's standard even on a friday about this time we see slowing up toward oakland road for northbound 101. a note also for the rails. we continue with the vta blue line maintenance. that change in the track work here. so between santa teresa and capital stations, there's no train. you use the bus bridges in place. the bus stops are right near the light rail stops. but just we continue with that reminder because they rotate throughout the lines here. the rest of the bay shows a pretty smooth drive, so get a chance to look ahead for your day. we'll take you over to oakland, where over at the arena, there may be some excited fans because p1 harmony, this is a k-pop group. they'll have their concert tonight. so watch those off ramps. folks not familiar with the area might slow down a bit as you're getting out of work. they're trying to get into the stadium and then over here we're looking at an evening game as well for the giants. oracle park 715. so remember that there will be crowds coming up. the 280

extension and across the bridge over here from the parking lots over to oracle park. back to you. thanks a lot mike. well, stopping the flow of fentanyl from south of the border. coming up next on today in the bay, governor newsom's new plan to curb drug crimes and hopefully save more lives, more decisions and more controversy out of the supreme court. it's a very important day today. every winner needs an anthem. and this year we have a new remix for the olympics theme song ahead here, the new spin from one iconic band. keep it hereyou're.

in the upper 40s, with some patchy clouds moving about, but then we should mix out to plenty of sunshine this afternoon. a slightly warmer day in the mid to upper 80s there for the north bay. we'll track the rest of the bay area microclimate forecast for today, and the changes ahead for father's day weekend and we're looking at the drive in the east bay. this is fremont, 880 in fremont moves smoothly. those headlights south in through fremont heading down in toward milpitas coming into fremont on 680. just see another crash popping up on our grid. we'll check out the details. we'll show you what things are like. thanks. mike and cynthia. new this morning, governor newsom is announcing a big move when it comes to the california national guard. now, he is more than doubling the deployment at all entry ports as part of drug

task force operations. this to help combat the flow of fentanyl and other narcotics into the u.s. now, last fall, governor newsom first announced increasing national guard enforcement at four ports of entry along the u.s. mexico border. with father's day around the corner, dads who are also u.s. lawmakers want to shine a light on their role. they're organizing these second annual fathers week of action with new resolutions to support working families. southern california congressman jimmy gomez is the founder and chair of the congressional dads caucus. he is calling on lawmakers to build an economy with more focus on children. he introduced the father's day resolution, which asked for paid leave, affordable child care and enhanced child tax credit. we're trying to make sure that people understand that these policies are pro family, pro economy policies, the group says. millions of americans are forced to choose between their paychecks and taking care of

their children, they argue. legislation supporting working families will help boost the economy. president biden has signed a ten year promise to support ukraine, saying out loud the russians will not be able to wait us out. scott mcgrew joins us now. scott, the deal is pretty much symbolic. it's not a treaty of any kind, right? right. you would need approval from the us senate to confirm a treaty. so it really doesn't 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 won't work. to be fair, we do have a habit of saying that and then moving on. see also. the kurds in iraq, among in laos, democratically elected government of afghanistan, just to name a few. biden says not this time. signing a deal with the ukrainian president at the g7 conference in italy. the group of seven countries also going to loan ukraine billions of dollars earned through 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 equipment outside of the ukrainian border and into russia. now ukraine is always thought of crimea as being part of its territory, as it should, and it's been ramping up lately attacks on russian ships in the black sea as well, all the more reason to send your ships somewhere else. you may recall russian ships started showing up in havana harbor this week. not unusual. cuba and russia are allies tracked, of course, 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 on the january 6th, 2021. he was surrounded by gop lawmakers. this is an outstanding group of people. i'm with them a thousand percent.

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. those inside the meeting tell nbc news that trump suggested ending the federal income tax, replacing it with tariffs, money americans would pay for purchasing goods made outside the united states, a form of federal sales tax. those in the meeting also say trump 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'll 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 more instances of clarence thomas accepting luxury trips from a billionaire friend, trips he is not documented on his financial disclosures. we expect more decisions from the high court to be published today. the first at 7 a.m. our time, including possibly president immunity, another abortion case, and whether domestic abusers should get their guns back. ginger, thanks a lot, scott. 548 for you on this friday morning. let's take a live look now in san jose. that's where politics will be front and center today. politics is back for its second year. the event focuses on silicon valley issues, including immigration, ai and economic development. former meet the press host and nbc news correspondent chuck todd is among this year's speakers. that event kicks off at 830 this morning at the hammer theater on san antonio road. tickets are available

through the theater's website at, well, new this morning a new airline catering demands. best friend is now bound for the bay area. bark air only launched its first coast to coast flight last month, servicing new york and southern california. the airline allows you and your furry friend to travel in style this october. it will expand to four additional locations, including san jose. they're also going to have routes to new york and chicago. so look at that. what a way to treat your pet. you know, now there's no word on airfare cost just yet, but tickets for bark air's initial flights, they came in around $6,000. round trip. so your man's best friend riding a little better than you? yeah. watch your paws. yeah, yeah, we're in cargo now. all right, well, trending this morning. the best of the best. getting ready to compete in the summer olympics in paris. you can see it all right here on nbc. but to help everyone get pumped up. well, the roots just recorded a reimagined version of

the iconic olympics theme song. let's take a listen. record breakers true greatness. rest takers, modern myth makers, the hard work eventually forms you into one of the strong few. the future belongs to. the moment you've been waiting for is finally upon you. it's time. show and prove. let them see what you going do. the sacrifice . rarely do they mention a price on the other side. rarely do they mention a fight. let every obstacle they ever set against you in life be the energy that takes you to olympian heights. it's time. what have you worked a life for? the song was premiered during the tonight show with jimmy fallon last night, and it is inspiring to say the least. that is something that i want to wake up to every morning, right. you have. you're going to have the chance very soon. lots of us olympic team trials are actually set to happen over the next couple of weeks. and starting saturday night, it gets underway here on nbc bay area. they're going to have the swimming trials in

indianapolis. you can keep up with all the trials right here and watch live on peaco*ck as well. and then try to emulate some of those strokes in the pool, i wonder, i would be curious to see how many sports injuries there are amongst us lay people. we see that we get inspired, like, i'm going to do that and then cramp up, and then the next morning you're on, you're at the gym and you're like, i can run. just like i can lift 50 pounds. welcome pain reliever. all right. okay. well it is a busy weekend for so many people. possibly celebrating dads. hint, hint advanced father's day. we're going to replay that at home again. our own olympian. well, will the weather be cooperating? cynthia i think as far as the sunshine goes, yes, but the winds could be a different story and we'll get to that in just a second. let's step out the door. it's sweater weather. petaluma 43 degrees. some partly cloudy skies there through 101. i also seeing that june gloom through

san francisco. our temperatures slightly cooler today. we're in the low 50s around the bay. as we talk about the temperatures expected for our friday. here we go. we're looking at a bit of a warmer day. 88, in santa rosa, fairfield a 87 in concord. we come down to the immediate bay. a nice day in san francisco, temperature wise, 68. we'll do 77 in fremont and 86 for you in morgan hill. not much of a change as we go on into our saturday temperatures. no major heat spike as we go on and take a look at these numbers. we're going to see temperatures staying really where they typically are for this time of year. but of course we are talking about the winds continuing to watch what's going on not only in our state, but right next door. if you have any plans to head to tahoe or to reno, we notice this contour here. some really gusty winds for them. they've actually they've actually got a red flag warning that goes into effect later tonight. so watch for that as for us, we are tracking some gusty winds that really start to pick up tomorrow afternoon, especially near our coastline

and our mountain passes. so just be careful on the roadways as you head to visit dad this weekend. we go on into sunday watching those really gusty winds coming onshore right now as is, but sometimes they could shift offshore and that's what we'll be watching. of course, with the increase in fire danger, i'm going to push this timeline for you here on into monday morning. still continuing to see some really breezy winds. so just check back in here over the weekend. i'll keep you updated with that. i mentioned a couple minutes ago that we're going to transition into la nina. you're going to start to hear that a bit more often. and here's what you need to know as we transition into the later summer months. really with la nina, we move those cooler waters along the equatorial pacific here closer to our borders here along mexico, peru. and what does that mean as far as the weather? i'm going to tell you that not every la nina or el nino is the same. but typically what we see is a wetter pacific northwest and into parts of the north bay, down into socal and into the desert southwest. it trends

warmer and drier. so we'll see those changes as we go on deeper into the season and what it can bring about. let's take it to that 7-day forecast. of course, what we need to know over the next couple of days, immediate future 80 will carry us through the next couple of days. we'll watch for those wind speeds and lots of sunshine around the bay area san francisco. get ready for the wind the next couple of days. temperatures shouldn't deviate too much from those upper 60s. mike you're tracking something in fremont. what's going on? i am, i'm chatting. thank you for that explanation on la nina. i love that when you geek out over their science, why are you looking over in the south bay? this is typical tracking south bay slowing, but it is indeed fremont coming into fremont, where there's a new crash. i'm tracking south 680 out of sunol right around vargas there is a crash reported. we've seen no slowing over the last few minutes. hopefully everything is off to the shoulder quickly, but i'll continue to track that it's in your commute direction. you see that little build off of 84 and coming off the dublin interchange as well. meanwhile there is a crash over here near appian way west 80. the upper

east shore freeway. no slowing shows up, but there may be one lane blocked that might indicate how light the traffic volume is. a little slowing for highway 37. highway four just fine. the bay bridge does show a little slowing on the incline. the metering lights are active. according to the chp report. the live look shows you no backup, though, so the backup or whatever slowing there is, is after the toll plaza as those lanes narrow. look at all these lanes here for those unfamiliar, we do lose about half of those lanes as we get on to the bay bridge. that's why there's all that slowing on the incline, even without metering lights. back to you. thanks a lot, mike. happening now san francisco continues its juneteenth events following the parade last weekend. at noon today, leaders will hold a kickoff celebration outside city hall on the polk street side in carlton be goodlett place. more celebrations are planned for the weekend, including an event on treasure island, another in the fillmore, and a third event on sunday in the bay view. the official juneteenth holiday is next wednesday. a big heads up for people with weekend plans in the south bay straight ahead, a
