napa airport and santa rosa is in there. menlo park checking in at 39 degrees. 41 for stanford. looks like a nice day, just a cool day. in the shade a little chilly. in the sun, not too bad. warmer tomorrow and then clouds and rain on sunday. 60s on your temps. 7:01. traffic friday light or did something happen. >> i think it is pretty light. >> okay. >> for a friday. spring break and easter holiday weekend. it is good friday for those that celebrate. that is reflected on the traffic maps. let's look at 80 westbound in the western part of contra costa county. it usually goes slow around this time of morning. that is not the case. north bay and marin county, your commute looks pretty good, even though the golden gate sausalito ferry has been canceled this morning. people are advised to take the ferry from tiburon instead. there is one issue to tell you about that we just got word of. this was a collision. it looks like a single car hit the center divide. 101 northbound just past the central scan ralph exit -- san rafael exit. we don't see it reflected on the traffic sensors on 101. but be aware of that on northbound 101. you can see a lot of sunshine along the macarthur maze. a different picture than what we saw yesterday when the rain was covering the camera lenses. it is a 19-minute drive to get from the macarthur maze. the bay bridge toll plaza, the delay isn't that bad. 15 to 20 minutes to get on to the span. the time now is 7:02. and i'll send it back to gasia and dave. >> thank you, allie. new details on the massive bomb that the u.s. dropped on a tunnel complex in afghanistan. it killed 36 afghans. >> the commander of the u.s. forces in afghanistan says the bomb was effective. this shows the blast that the bomb created yesterday in easter afghanistan. it is known as a moab and nicknamed the mother of all bombs. the bomb was used to destroy extensive bunkers, tunnels and mind fields built by isis near the pakistan border. >> the u.s. coordinated with afghanistan to conduct yesterday's operation just as we have since we started these operations in early march. therefore this was the appropriate weapon to use at this time to reduce that obstacle to enable us to continue with our offensive operation in the southern part. >> this is video of the bomb dropping out of the back of a cargo plane. this video was taken only during a test. yesterday's attack though was the first time that the bomb was used during combat. it is the largest nonnuclear weapon ever used in the air force arsenal and it has the clear backing of president trump. >> we have the greatest military in the world and they have done the job as usual. we have given them total authorization. that's what they're doing. that's why they have been so successful lately. >> the bombing brings up questions as to whether this could be a message to north korea following last week's missile attack on a syrian air base. but the pentagon is pushing back there they could launch a preemptive strike. nancy pelosi called the bombing an escalation, one that congress should review. >> for things to be happening without congress being part of the debate raises very serious questions as to the justification and the results as to what this is about. >> pelosi said while she was in san francisco at a forum on health care for veterans she called on paul ryan to reconvene to debate action in syria. the time is 7:05. that brings us to our political analyst joe tuman. thank you for coming bac . >> hello. >> could this insight other tacks against the united states and how the world is reacting. >> i think everybody is looking at the united states as being a little more aggressive than they have been under the previous administration. although president obama did direct and oversee the assassination of osama bin laden. we haven't been the same in terms of expanding the field of battle. there was reluctance on president obama's part to go into syria when congress wanted less fronts, not more. this president i think is showing a willingness to be more assertive or aggressive and also to sort of create a public relations possibility out of each one of these things to project a stronger military presence that most countries believe that we possess in this way. the question is he willing to use them without authorization from congress and act independently on his own or le be more deliberative as the previous presidents have been. you talked about the consequences. one of the things to remember about isis, lots of people who muslim recent the notion of calling it the islamic state because they don't speak for all muslims. they have flourished and grown in countries that are essentially failed states. why are they in afghanistan in the first place? the central government controls kubal. the reality is that the central government doesn't control anything. the regional war lords are terror groups. there are at least eight in afghanistan today, not just the taliban and isis but others as well. in those kinds of places that's where isis flourishes. syria is in a civil war. the government couldn't provide central services there. outside of that it didn't work. we're seeing the same thing in libya and parts of eastern africa where isis being beaten in syria and iraq right now is looking for other places to go. to your point about consequences, i don't know that we use this kind of bomb somewhere else. we're aware of the fact that we're eradicating in syria and iraq isis presence doesn't mean that they won't pop up in other places like weeds in an unattended garden. that's what we need to be concerned about. >> nancy pelosi is calling for a congressional review. does this merit a congressional review or is she not seeing eye to eye with the president. >> some people in his own party don't see eye to eye with him. there was a wars powers act passed that was to stop an overreach by the executive branch. and what that calls for is congressional authorization. if you're going to be in a conflict for more than 60 days, 60 days or more. and we aren't really at that situation right now. you could argue in both of these instances, last week in syria and yesterday with the use of the bomb, this was a one off situation. for example, yesterday's tactical situation where he had already authorization for. going forward, if you see these actions, congress will be within its rights to come back and have consultation on this. they're the one that's are supposed to declare war. >> thank you, joe. >> we will see you back during the 8:00 hours. president trump said he had a plan to defeat isis and we have to do extremely tough over there, among other statements. >> yesterday's bombing in afghanistan follows the airstrike against the government of syria. last friday we asked if you supported the strike. 64% said no. >> our question of the day today is this: do you support the decision to drop the bomb on an isis target in afghanistan in yes or no. let us know what you think on twitter or ktvu.com. we also appreciate your leaving comments on facebook. our time is now 7:09. in other news this

ever used in the battlefield. what we're learning about yesterday's attack by the u.s. in afghanistan and what it means for the trump administration. mornings on 2 continues now. >> this is ktvu mornings on 2. >> good morning, everyone. welcome back to mornings on 2. it is friday, april 14th. i'm mike. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. you can see sunshine behind us along the oakland estuary. it is a sight that we will only see today. >> today and tomorrow but not sunday. not sunday. we will see changes. at least today is nice. boy, is it cold for some. although it looks like we reached our minimums for the day. we are slowly warming up. it will be a beautiful spring day. also very cold up in the mountains. balmy 19 degrees in truckee this morning. is it really april 14th? yes, it is really april 14th. mr. p, my daughter said it was snowing last night in reno. it was. chain controls on 50 and 80. it is cold up there. incline village, 13. state line 16. and south lake tahoe at 19.

unless something changes, rain will move back into the picture on sunday. today, sunshine and kind of cool but 60s. no rain today or tomorrow. allie, 8:02. what do you have? >> i have a couple of issues in the east bay. from the southern end of it up to the north. let's start with the map at 580 in the -- actually, this is the eastbound direction. castro valley boulevard on-ramp on to eastbound 580, a crash between a big rig and a car. be aware of that incident over there. it could be slowing things down. you can't see the crash icon because it is hidden behind that 580 -- 580 sign u that see there. but this is macarthur freeway southbound 580 in oakland. the left lane is blocked because of a collision. two-car collision there. things are looking good on highway 4 up until half an hour ago. westbound highway 4, three-car crash we are hearing about at bailey road. it is blocking one of the right hand lanes. be aware of that. your drive on the east shore freeway, the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze, very good this morning. it was a trouble spot earlier this week with all of the rain we had. not the case today. you can see sun shining there. the bay bridge toll plaza also a very easy, very light drive in. let's go back to the desk at 8:03. we're following the latest on the bomb that was dropped yesterday. >> it killed 36 isis fighters and there is no evidence of civilian casualties. >> gasia and mike, the commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan says the bomb was effective and it achieved its intended purpose. take a look at video. it was released by the pentagon this morning showing the massive blast that the bomb created yesterday in eastern afghanistan. the official name is gbu43b but better known as moab, a massive ordinance air blast. also nicknamed the mother of all bombs. the u.s. and nato commander in afghanistan says it was used to destroy extensive bunkers, tunnels and mind fields built by isis near the border and killed 36 fighters. >> we had service tent surveillance over the area before, during and after the operation. and now we have afghan and u.s. forces on the site and see no evidence of civilian casualties nor any reports of such. >> this video is file footage taken during a test of the bomb. yesterday's attack though was the first time that the bomb was used during combat. it is the largest nonnuclear weapon ever used by the air force in their arsenal. and the aggressive move had the clear backing of president trump. trump. >> we have the greatest military in the world. and they have done a job as usual. so we have given them total authorization. that's what they're doing. frankly that's why they have been so successful lately. >> the bombing now brings up questions as to whether this could be a message to north korea following last week's missile attack on a syrian air base. the pentagon is strongly pushing back against a report that they could launch a preemptive strike. we will wait and see what happens. gasia and mike. >> thank you, christina. nancy pelosi called it an escalation, one that congress should review. >> for things to be happening without congress' -- being part of the debate raises serious questions as to the justification and results as to what this is about. >> pelosi said while she was in san francisco at a forum on the health care of veterans, she called on paul ryan to reconvene to debate action in syria. joining us now in the studio is joe tuman, political analyst. president trump would not say if he personally signed off on this operation. does that mean anything, whether he did or didn't. >> it does. one way of looking at this or parsing his reluctance to take full credit of it perhaps is that he has learned -- he is learning on the job how to be president. there are a lot of rumbling in congress about him acting independent of their authorization for declaration of war. i don't technically think that he is in violation of the war powers act yet. but every time that he independently takes an action or this administration takes that action, congress has to pull them back in and say you're suppose today share the decision making. you can't go off on your own. >> if he authorized it, he is giving the commanders more power. >> this was an ongoing action that we had already commit today with the previous administration. i'm not exceeding my authority. if he creates the impression that he is acting on his own, it requires oversight. we won't pay for this if you don't consult us. >> this bomb had not been used before because of the concern of civilian casualties. first of all, is that the full story? second of all, the strategy here, were they taking out people or tunnels? what is the location, the timing, the place. >> militarily using something that would collapse everything beneath it was necessary to level the playing field, forgive the expression. literally level the playing field. so we could see who we were fighting against along with our afghan allies in the conflict. the other reality is we think how people will interrupt what is going on there. as we know a week ago when we -- we had friendly fire that killed 18 people who were suppose today be our allies. that hurts us in a place like syria where we need to be on the same page and feel like we're supporting one another. they are careful to say that here. to your question, do we really know if they did that or not. one thing that tell you about isis having studied it for quite a long time, when they're engaged in field of combat is to surround themselves if they're fighting for us with civilians and make them human shields. the likelihood that they weren't doing this here is probably not very high. i think it's more likely that they would have had civilians. we had reconnaissance of this before and after the bomb was dropped and there was no visual evidence of that. we will take them at their word right now. it is possible that buried under the rubble there may have been somebody. >> there is a poll that says 51% of americans back trump's moves in syria. that is higher than his approval rating. this is more about his domestic policy than what he's talking about and going and getting isis. do you agree with that, this is more about trying to bump up his numbers because his domestic policy isn't working at this time. >> that's a good question, mike. more than just the approval ratings, the president has been concerned about the ongoing russian collusion investigations. you know, did the administration when it was just a campaign, trump campaign, work with russian hackers. he wanted to change that subject. last week's launch of the missiles could be evidence from his point in view that he is not putin's puppet in all of this. but the other thing that i think is definitely the case with all of this in terms of the president's approval ratings is that any president who acts in -- in a way that looks decisively at our history will usually have the support of public. people in congress usually line up behind the president because we don't want to have a lot of voices on our side. it looks like we're confused. that reassures voters that he is a strong leader. he will get a bump in terms of this action. some were empathetic about the chemical weapons attack and the victims being children. that doesn't translate back to domestic political issue. you have to share power and the president has a mixed record. >> thank you for joining us, joe tuman. >> during his campaign president trump repeatedly said he had a plan to defeat isis and we're going have to do something extremely tough over there. this follows the airstrike in syria. last friday we asked you if you supported that strike. 64% of you who joined in on the poll said no. >> today's question of the day is do you support the decision to drop the bomb on an isis target in afghanistan, yes or no. >> let's show you the results so far. 50% say yes. 50% say no. so right down the middle right there on that one. let us know what you think. we will keep this polyp throughout the morning. you can vote object the ktvu -- on the ktvu twitter page or ktvu.com. if you want to comment you can do that on the ktvu facebook page. the time is 8:11 the immigration debate heats up in san francisco today. the emergency repair

clara county by judges if you come in -- if you come in and ask for a restraining order, if you're involved in domestic violence and ask for a restraining order, you need to know that the justice department will have your name, id. they're going to know who you are. if you're undocumented, you could be walked right ow of the courtroom straight to deportation hearing. so there's a lot at stake.
