i quite clearly stand with colin kaepernick. i agree with colin kaepernick. i think his position is right, informed and principled. that is the kind of response i would love to hear the president have. if the president doesn't agree with me or colin kaepernick, that's cool, too. then just say it. >> ben, final point. >> when you say his idea is well thought out. would you say that about him saying that hillary clinton is in jail, would you say that when he wore a fidel castro shirt claiming that african-americans are oppressed in this country. would you say he is well informed about his socks -- >> is this rhetorical? >> no. >> i would say that. i thought it was a question. >> the president should not come out and back someone that has been in this way because when you lend your voice or somehow imply that this is okay, everybody knows you have a right to do it, but when you're the president you don't help advocate for an individual like this that has said things that are this extreme all over the place you don't comment on it. the president can say i don't c

colin kaepernick has talked about that. he was sitting for a few weeks and people didn't notice, and then it was the third preseason game where it was noticed, a picture was taken and it started to make the rounds on social media and that's when it started, just a few weeks ago. it is rare to see this. we've seen it, we saw it in the olympics in '68 with two sprinters, but in general this is very unusual. but i think it is going to continue, and i actually think it is going to get bigger. wait until the nba season gets going. college basketball, men's and women's. of course we are seeing it a little bit in high school and college football, megan rapino, the u.s. women's soccer star has been kneeling and of course around the nfl. i think there will be more next week because there was a bit of a pause over the weekend because of 9/11. i think it will grow next week. >> to christine's point, you have seen it around the league, you have seen other athletes doing it. you represent several people. you said your opinion has change

the colin kaepernick national protest watch continues. ann? >> reporter: yeah, the game starts at 7:20, you can see levi's stadium behind me lit up, ready to shine on the national stage. and a lot of expectations that colin kaepernick is once again going to try to send a message on racial inequality. we saw several similar shows yesterday at the beginning of the football season in seattle. players linked arms to honor 9- 11, and four dolphins took knee to call attention to injustice and police brutality, as colin kaepernick has been doing. and cornerback marcus peters of the chiefs also showed support for the cause, raising a fist in the national anthem. she from oakland. fans are showing mix $support. >> it's everyone's right to say what they want to say, and freedom of speech, but there's a part of me that i'm a 5th grade teacher and teach american history, so i'm very patriot 0ic. >> kaepernick -- patriotic. >> kaepernick is not expected to be the starting quarterback tonight. he is the backup quarterback. we also saw some support for kaepe

>> i would like to see a lot of support for colin kaepernick. both for his stand and for the movement for black lives. but just as colin kaepernick has his right to protest, fans have their right to respond however they see fit. but, you know, i disagree with those folks that booed him and i wholeheartedly endorse colin kaepernick in his stand and the message behind it. and i would like to say that, you know, i speak here today for myself. what's in the letter, the text of the letter you can see at veterans for kaepernick.us. all the folks signing that letter, that's what they signed on to. i'm speaking for myself here today. but i definitely support colin kaepernick. >> richard allen smith, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> he's been highly critical of donald trump's plan to build a wall along the u.s.-mexico border, and his meeting with the country's president, enrique pena nieto. up next, former president vicente fox will join me to discuss why he says americans have to, in his words, wake up. gary, gary, gary... i am proud

you are going to see colin kaepernick warming up. he just came out 10 minutes ago. word she start the game tonight. there are reports that he will start, so avenue presumably sits for the anthem he will come out and start the game about maybe 6:58, 6:59, 7:00 you are going to expect a chorus of boos, as you said, frank, on military night. we got a little preview of the anthem earlier from the man what will sing it, first-class steven powell of the u.s. navy. here he is. ♪ gave proof through the night the flag was still there ♪ >> reporter: we heard the rehearsal for about 10 minutes. steven powell, he's just happy to be here. he says that he's not paying attention to all this. he's recently retired. he is a naval officer, first class, and here is what he said about the whole kaepernick controversy just a little while ago. >> i'm a patriot. i believe in the flag and i'm a true believer of all that and served my country. but i'm just happy to be invited to the city to be able to perform one more time. i'm going to give my best and not worry about distractions, jus

and that's obviously the issue that colin kaepernick is holding near and dear to his heart. i've said from the start, richard, i don't have a problem. i don't necessarily agree with colin kaepernick and the way he decided to go about making this message. it's not the way i would have done it. but at the same time, it is freedom of expression, it's freedom of speech. and i think a lot of people are starting to rally around the idea that it's not just free speech or freedom of expression that you would agree with. >> jason, what are you seeing, if you will, in not only the club rooms in terms of response to the way that colin has actually handled this? >> i think you're getting a mixture. and i hate to say it. some of it falls along racial lines, as well. you know, where you're getting some players on the white side of things, who are saying one thing. and you're getting others who are minorities and have felt -- even rich athletes have sometimes felt overburdened or felt put upon by police in this country. so it's not just -- it's not just people living in the -- in these urb

it's not all about colin kaepernick. we had an actual football game on the field. >> the 49ers beginning the new era with a new head coach and got off to a good start. lots of smiles tonight, finally. >> reporter: finally, yeah. most critics in their preseason rankings had the 9ers 32nd. there are 32 teams in the nfl. tonight, the 9ers far from the worst team in the league. pregame national anthem, colin kaepernick and eli once again. and fists in protests. and 11 yards up the midel fordla 7-0 lead. and off it deflection of bowman. and corralled it between his legs. 14-0 lead at half time. vance mcdonald from blain gabbert and thorough domination on monday night football. they shut out the newest version of the l.a. rams, 28-0. >> they say we're supposed to be the worst team in the nfl. 28-0 shut out. monday night football, feels good. couldn't ask for anything more. >> reporter: you dominated. >> hey, monday night football, we came out and dominated. >> reporter: colin kaepernick entered with about 2:00 to go. did talk

soledad: do you think time will judge colin kaepernick differently? he is being vilified, as you well know, in a way muhammad ali was vilified many years ago. of course, muhammad ali is held up as an example of a person who took a moral stand at a critical time. do you think that is going to happen to colin kaepernick? ben: quite possibly. quite possibly. i think a lot of times when people make these stands there are harsh reactions on both sides. i can honestly say that i seen both sides of it. i have seen people tell him to he needs to leave the country, which is ridiculous, and then i have seen people say they are 120% behind him and they love everything he does. we live in a country of such and forth about stuff like that so i have seen both sides of it. but i do think that over time we will know if it is something that will be applauded or not. soledad: ben watson joining us from maryland. thanks, ben. ben: thank you. >> see watson's entire facebook post on our website, matter-of-fact.tv, or tweet us @matteroffacttv. next, she wasn't going to vot

we'll see what happens to colin kaepernick if he does decide to sit. reporting live in san diego, len ramirez, kpix 5. >> len, as you said, this all comes as the chargers hold their annual salute to the military. we're hearing flags will be unfurled. a naval officer will be singing the national anthem. and the leapfrogs will parachute into the stadium. kind of an odd time and place for kaepernick to take this political stand. >> reporter: you never know if he looked ahead at the schedule and decided to do this or if he just, you know, decided, um, at one time last week to do it. but as you mentioned, the timing couldn't be more pressurized for colin kaepernick here in this military town with a lot of former and current military members, a lot of naval basis, things like that. so there is going to be a very large presence and we do expect some sort of reaction from the fans. >> thank you. >>> this all started over how kaepernick acted and now there's drama over what he is wearing. kpix 5's emily turner tells us kap now making a statement through his soc

and first off, like most people, colin kaepernick can say and do what he wants. at the end of the day, it's about the delivery, and as a professional athlete, sports are so powerful, and you're seeing it now. i put my hands up for colin kaepernick, for having the discussion and being able to bring people together. at the same time, there are issues with the way that he's going about doing it. the whole sox and the police as pigs, that really took it somewhat where that i think it should have never gone. >> you don't like the comments, you don't like the way he's framed police officers. you don't like the way he's criticized police officers, the socks were too much, and it warrants an apology because it creates more decisiveness. >> i support police officers, law enforcement, i live in south florida, a large majority of the police officers are african-american men. you put that message out for kids to hear, i think that's negative and divisive, i do look up to colin kaepernick for taking the pledge of giving a million dollars, and really putting his money where hi

so it was a move in had support of quarterback colin kaepernick. >> all right. we're seeing a show of support from a teammate. but what about the coaching staff? what's the general feeling amongst, you know, the team owners, you know, about all the attention this is drawing to the 49ers and, really, they're off the field exploits, if you will? >> well, it has been rather short. the new coach, chip kelly, basically said he has a right to express his views and we support that and we're not going to get involved. now that's to this point. we'll have to see whether there's some sort of change in attitude. but so far, no issues and kaepernick played very well tonight. in fact, even though he was being booed every time they snapped the ball to him, there was a lengthy drive downfield. as i said, you could hear the boos and every time it seemed like they would gain another six or seven yards and ended up in a touchdown. >> before i let you go, paul, could you tell whether or not.kaepernick was bothered by the reaction to the being? >> absolutely not. in fact, he almost

colin kaepernick is the backup. gabbert started the first three preseason games and started the remaining eight games of last season. that team's record over that time was 3-5. chip kelly today. >> you know, i think his grasp and command of what we're doing he is a fit of what we want to get accomplished. and have a lot of confidence in what he can do with us offensively. i think kap is not up to his playing weight. he missed a couple of weeks with the arm. that set him back. the timetable was the timetable. and right now we feel that blaine is the starter. >> rod streater my man number 80 with the raiders! best receiver never to get into a game is now a 49er. 9ers traded with the chiefs to get him today and in a funny way he could be the 9ers second best wideout right now. streater has signed with kansas city in the spring after four seasons in oakland. he got into only four games the last two years. some of the notable cuts making the 49ers, well, made by the 49ers, rookie quarterback jeff driskel he gone. kelvin

kaepernick's behavior regarding the police was disgraceful. >> when colin kaepernick sits down and does not respect the same flag, the same flag that draped the coffin of my father a world war ii veteran, i do take umbrage with that. >> the next time some overpaid entertainer or athlete or politician says, oh, people are mean to me, laugh in his face, including this guy. >> trevor: you're so tough in the studio. you want to laugh in the face of this 6'-4" football professional? laugh in his face.
