>> well, only if the president is a magician on the side. >> he will be limited to find new defense money, he exempted service and medicare. it means squeezing money from sources such as the epa, the fda. foreign aid, national parks public education, food stamps and the national arts, all would come at a political price. >> what other initiatives caught your attention. >> there are two biggies. his trillion dollar infrastructure program, over 10 years would cost $125 billion annually. and according to the nonpartisan tax policy institute. his tax cut proposals would add another $600 billion per year to the national deficit. it can be done but only with the deficit of at least 3/4 $3/4 of

they finally arrived this evening at sfo, about four hours late. what was the problem? a mouse on the plane. the british airways plane was about to take off from london/heathrow, when the passengers were told they had to change planes because the mouse was spotted. plenty of reaction you see here. one passenger questioned british airways friendliness. she did nothing wrong. that's what a white house lawyer is now saying about presidential adviser kelly anne conway's free ad for ivanka trump shoes. she acted inadvertently with no nefarious motive when she promoted first daughter ivanka trump's fashion line. conway is highly unlikely to do it again. conway urged viewers to go buy

ivanka's stuff after nordstrom dropped ivanka's clothing line. it violated a rule, staff members are not allowed to promote their products for profit. trump did it, so why not? oprah? oprah commented on the idea that you don't need government experience to be elected president, but in the end o said no, she won't run. as for her fans, they are taking to twitter asking her to run in 2020. >> she might just change her mind. now from the red carpet to the doghouse, the two accountants responsible for the best picture plunders, they're not coming back. martha ruiz and brian cohen are seen here before sunday's oscars, which ended as you know. the result was la la land,

to continue paying for the next 10 months. >> why should i have to pay 50( for a month for a dog that isn't around any more? >> that's a good question. >> in the eyes of the law, animals are chattels, they're property. and you're buying basically property insurance. >> that means everything is governed by the policy. collette couldn't find her contract, it states even in the event of death or loss of a pet, you still have to pay the entire membership fee or the full cost of the care the pet received. after the response team got involved, banfield waived their policy and allowed collette to cancel with no additional charges. when weighing her next pet insurance policy, she will surely read the fine print. >> looking back, it's not the best decision we probably could have made for her. >> if you're considering pet insurance, shop around. different companies have different prices and different plans you can weigh against your specific needs.

rosa, mill valley, slightly cooler and 62 degrees. the only side effect is the pollen. pine trees are aggravating, so if you're sniffling and sneezing lately, it could be the pine trees as grass, mold and weeds all remain low. we have rainfall coming our way by this weekend. not a big storm system, dropping down from the north, doesn't have a ton of moisture with it, as you'll see here, by sunday's forecast, we'll see a tenth to a half inch possible. that half inch amount is likely up into marin and sonoma counties. let's get you to the interior valleys, stays mild with the mid to upper 60s over the next two days. we drop down to 59 on saturday. chance of rain by the afternoon, by sunday we get the rainfall moving on in. if you have plans for the weekend. it's going to be saturday morning, right up until the noon hour. that's the time to get outside and do whatever you have to do. >> we'll pick you up saturday

have to be totally honest with you. i thought we'd be way further down the road with this. tom boy debuts at 8:00 on march 10th. coming up at 11:00, what do you do when you can't trust the water coming from your fawcett? is it safe to drink? why thousands of californians don't have safe drinking water. the last word goes to jeff ranieri. >> rainfall coming our way this weekend. as you'll see in that extended forecast. it will be dry here, and mild. by friday a little cooler 66. saturday 59 with a chance of rain in the afternoon. we'll see our rainfall accumulation, a tenth to a half inch possible. >> is it my allergies, everyone's sneezing? >> it is. >> it's getting up there. >> thanks for joining us at 6 0 6:00.
