12:02 pm
to supplement their 9:00 to 5:00. who is driving the growing trend? >> o the side hustle life. >> sometimes it's necessary, it's for money. sometimes it's just a side hustle. we're going to talk about that. >> so stay with us but we are going to start this hour with the trumpet ministration targeting another major city with with a collimator immigration operation. >> we are talking about new york city today. federal agents carried out raids across the city. surveillance video shows dea and i.c.e. agents in one neighborhood early this morning. the new homeland security secretary christina homme joined a raid this morning in new york before returning to washington, d.c. >> another immigration operation is expected this thursday in aurora, colorado. that is according to three sources familiar with the planning. those sources say the trump administration is planning major operations in three cities per week. joining us now, nbc news correspondent rehema ellis in new york city. the raids in new york city began early this mornrning. what do we know about what actually -- >> one of the things we know is part of what you mentioned coming into this, kate, and that is authorities did release some video and also on the social media account, they made it known that they had made several arrests. we do not know what that number is, however, as you point out,
12:03 pm
they did say that there was an arrest in the bronx area. now some in the -- if they are arrested and processed, it would be here at this federal court that's behind me. but we have not seen any exact numbers of that happening. those within the immigration community and advocates for them have sized this strong show of force among the federal agents that included, as you point out, the homeland security secretary and among these advocates for immigrants, one of the things they say is that this is a publicity blitz, so a full-screen of what was put out by the new york immigration coalition. and part of that statement, it says that this is all about public -- this is not about public safety. it's about instilling fear in our immigrant communities. they go on to say, if someone has a removal order, if they are picked up, they can request a review of that order but the time to do that, in terms of requesting a review, is before you are detained.
12:04 pm
it becomes incredibly difficult to do it once you are in custody. kate and zinhle? >> let's bring in nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley in washington. julia, what more have you learned about those weekly immigration operations we mentioned, and also, why aurora, colorado, for the next one , at least in terms of what we are expecting? >> if aurora rings a bell, that's because that is the place that trump campaigned, because he said the city had been, quote,, in his words, infected by venezuelans. that was because of the venezuelan gang there and some activity in one apartment building. but city officials told nbc at the time that the city is safe, so that became a city, just like springfield, ohio, that trump really zeroed in on during his campaign to show that illegal immigration has led to problems in u.s. cities, that that is the neck city that we know of. this according to three sources familiar with the plan and they want to take three cities per week, i'm told, to make it an all hands on deck approach where not only i.c.e.
12:05 pm
those in but they are also working with other federal law enforcement agencies like the atf, the fbi, dea and others, to go make these widespread arrests. so expect aurora to be the next one and then for next week for them to pick three more cities to target. >> julia, can i ask you about an incident at the southern border? the texas department of public safety says mexican cartel members fired at border patrol agents yesterday. what do we know about that? >> that's right. we are learning more. anytime anything like that happens there is usually an internal investigation, so not a lot of details coming out for that yet but you can see the video there. this is something the texas department of public safety is providing, rather than customs and border protection, in part caused texas does use its own department of public safety to do a lot of immigration enforcement along this border.
12:06 pm
they say these people are violent cartel members. that's not something that we've been abable to independently confirm yet, kate. >> julia ainsley, rehema ellis, thank you both. a white house memo directing a pause on federal funding that does not align with the trump agenda is sparking new lawsuits and some confusion for people and organizations who depend on that federal support. >> the trumpet ministration says this is not a freeze on funding and it could be as short as one day. the white house as social security, medicare, food assistance, and all direct government assistance to individuals will not be touched, but the future of other funding for other programs that receive federal grants remain unclear. white house press secretary karoline leavitt tried to clear up the confusion. >> is a ministry, if you're receiving assistance from the federal government, you will still continue to receive that. however, it is the response ability of this president and this ministration to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. that is something that president trump campaigned on. that's why he's launched d.o.t., the department of government efficiency. >> joining us now, nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell. the legality of this move is
12:07 pm
being questioned by organizations and at the state level by some attorneys general. what exactly do we know about what funding may be impacted? >> we are in a moment where the big, bold ideas that president trump wants to bring to governing clash with the practical of trying to determine memos written and distributed when many people have questions and people are raising concerns about the constitutional reality of this as well as the practical. and on the constitutional side, legal questions about the checks and balances of government, when congress appropriates the funding for programs and once that is enacted into law, signed by a president -- not this president but the former president -- that has the force of law, and another president cannot simply move the money around or decided cannot be spent. that again is in congress's lane. what the trump white house is saying is that he has put forward some executive orders that examine things like diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, using the woke ideology is their term for it, describing programs that
12:08 pm
might have these kinds of dimensions and they want a freeze, time to reflect on what those programs include, justifications for those programs going forward. but the breadth of what was put out was certainly raising questions about the kinds of programs that provide nutrition, housing, medical care too many, many people, and would they still have that direct access? the white house is saying yes, we are still trying to find out more. one of the programs that received grants was talking about this, as well, and said it has concerns about how this would affect those plans, including this -- saying this memo would have a devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of grant recipients who depend on the inflow of grant money that's already been obligated to fulfill their missions, to pay their employees, pay their rent and so forth. that's the national council of nonprofits and the american public health association. so at this point there are lots of questions about what does it
12:09 pm
mean to a specific group ora specific program, and we are working to try to get those answers, and we are asking this white house to provide more, as well. >> more information to come, i'm sure. kelly o'donnell, thanks for your reporting. appreciate it. health officials are warning about the largest outbreak of tuberculosis ever recorded in the united states. >> since the beginning of this year there have been 67 systematic cases in the state of kansas split between two counties and a kansas city suburb. health officials say that's on top of 79 so-called latent or inactive cases where someone tested positive for the disease but is not showing symptoms. joining us now, nbc news medical analyst dr. van gupta. dr. gupta, just how rare is an outbreak like this and walk us through how exactly tuberculosis spreads? >> that's very rare. this is arguably one of the worst outbreaks in history , what we are seeing in kansas in the united states. we've been tracking it all the
12:10 pm
way back to 1950. in terms of how it spreads, this is a classic case of somebody has pulmonary tuberculosis. we're talking coffin, even coughing up blood. night sweats, weight loss, can be chronic for up to three weeks. so if that's you, if that's a loved one, that's when you want to get tested. it can spread through droplets from an expectorating coffee and that's what we're worried about. >> we mentioned in the beginning, some people get the symptoms. other people have the sort of latent cases. explained that, were they don't feel anything? >> is confusing, kate. patients of minor confused by it. basically are exposed to it. it's lying in a latent phase in our body. it's not causing symptoms. you have latent tb. 1 and 3 people worldwide actually have latent tb. it doesn't cause any problems. you're not symptomatically you are not contagious. >> and i guess you don't even know. >> you don't even know exactly, because we are not testing for it. the concern is 1 in 10 people with latent tb, it becomes active in about 10% of people who do not get treated because
12:11 pm
they have an immuno confirmation condition or something else happens. >> given the historic nature of this outbreak, how do we protect ourselves and also how do we get tested? >> symptom awareness is critical. so if you travel, if you travel overseas frankly anywhere, and you have symptoms, chronic cough with weight loss or a fever, night sweats, any combination of symptoms with a travel history, get seen immediately. get tested. if you live in a communal setting like a dorm or if you're in a nursing home facility and you have those symptoms, that's important as well is a huge risk factor. so the at risk populations that we are worried about with concordant symptoms. >> we had on the screen that the general public is probably not at issue. >> exec the. general public, historically low risk in the united states but in these pockets. >> dr. gupta, always good to have you. thank you. we are taking care of business now. google says it is making a major change to the maps america sees. >> and things are heating up in the pickle kitchen. julia boorstin joins us now with today's cnbc money minute.
12:12 pm
>> hi kate and zinhle. google is changing its maps online with changes ordered by president trump. the tech giant says will update the names of the gulf of mexico and denali to the gulf of america and mount mckinley. google says the changes will take effect when the government up dates it's official listings for the gulf and the mountain. more than 100 cases of smoked salmon sold at costco stores in florida have been recalled over a possible listeria contamination. the fda says that kirkland signature brand smoked salmon manufactured from the acne smoked fish corporation was upgraded to the highest risk level from its original recall in october 2024 point so far no illnesses have been reported. and interleague pickle ball is reportedly on the verge of reaching profitability by the end of this year. authorities tell cnbc two of the league's 22 clubs are profitable but one has hit the breakeven point and as the league tries to reach that goal for the first time in two years they will open a franchise opportunities for up to two new teams. kate and zinhle, quite a trendy sport
12:13 pm
>> i still haven't played in the minor leagues. this is on my bucket list but i haven't done it. >> you got to try it out. >> it is a lot of fun. >> julia, have you? >> i have tried it. it's a lot of fun. i'm not a great tennis player. i'm definitely better at pickle ball. >> i love that. julia boorstin, thank you. coming up, the princess of wales makes her first official appearance since announcing that she's in remission from cancer. inside the emotional event. plus, officials in los angeles say it could take years to start rebuilding after those devastating wildfires. how families who have lost everything are now pushing back. back. if you're living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or active psoriatic arthritis symptoms can sometimes hold you back. but now there's skyrizi, so you can be all in with clearer skin. ♪things are getting clearer♪ ♪yeah, i feel free to bare my skin♪ ♪yeah, that's all me.♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ with skyrizi, you can show up with 90% clearer skin. and if you have psoriatic arthritis, skyrizi can help you move with less joint pain,

12:32 pm
not believe it's equipment started the fire. state investigators say they have not yet determined the cause. rail company norfolk southern and the community of east palestine, ohio, have reached a $22 million settlement. it comes nearly 2 years after a freight train derailed in the village, forcing the people to evacuate. 11 of those train cars were carrying hazardous materials. official said the money will be used for start up priorities identified by the village in connection with the train derailment. israel and hamas are taking an important step in maintaining their cease-fire. >> nbc news has learned the two sides have begun discussions on the second phase of the deal and it comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will meet with president trump at the white house in one week. netanyahu is the first foreign leader to meet with mr. trump during his second term. joining us now, nbc news chief international correspondent keir simmons in tel aviv. first off, what do we know about these negotiations so far and is it an encouraging sign that talks have already started at this point?
12:33 pm
>> well i think that tends to beginnings but i guess it is encouraging. we understand from senior regional diplomat, president trump's envoy for the middle east has been in saudi arabia, has been on his way to israel today and he will meet with benjamin netanyahu tomorrow so that is the kind of progress, as you say. than the israeli leader will head to washington to meet with president trump himself so there are clearly talks happening in various capitols across the region. i wouldn't be surprised to see steve witkoff in doha, too. it is really fragile here and we are waiting now for more hostages to be released on thursday, includuding iselis hope, the last female civilian hostage thought to be alive.
12:34 pm
then perhaps more hostages on saturday. meanwhile, huge numbers of palestinians heading back to the north of gaza and finding that many of them simply do not have homes left. so we are really in the early stages of this now and there are more stages to go. there are a number of stages of this deal and events really will drive whether or not [ inaudible ]. i think, too, steve witkoff, president trump's envoy clearly determined to try to keep things on track >> that seemed to be the purpose of the trip over there. keir sions, thank you so much. appreciate it. and we are following new developments this hour in the legal battle here in the united
12:35 pm
states between actors blake lively and justin baldoni. the trial date has now been set for march of next year but an initial conference has been scheduled for next week to address complaints about pretrial publicity and attorney conduct. >> lively is suing baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign against her. baldoni is countersuing, alleging defamation. both of them worked together on the 2024 movie, it ends with us, and now a new audio recording obtained by the daily email is shedding some light on what may have happened. joining us now, nbc news entertainment correspondent chloe melas. >> i do want to start by playing a bit of that audio that was obtained by the daily mail and then let's talk on the other side. >> hey blake, it is 2:00 in the morning. hopefully this does not wake you up. i'm really sorry. i for sure fell short and you worked really hard on that. it is nothing more exciting to me, like that i get to work with blake lively and have her, all of her, it's what i want.
12:36 pm
>> so chloe, that's just a snippet, i believe, of about six minutes of a voice memo. can you put that in context for us? what is baldoni appearing to apologize for? >> sure. so one of the issues at the crux of this back-and-forth legal battle is this allegation about baldoni and his legal team have made, that blake lively and her husband ryan reynolds tried to take control of the movie, the creativity of the film, the writing, while he was the director, and this was the movie being put out by his production company. and this voice note was sent after blake lively rewrote a scene he had written, a rooftop scene. it's a very famous moment in the book. it's a famous moment in the movie, when they first meet each other, and you can see part of it right there so i guess what we have figured out is that in these different text messages that we've seen in both of these lawsuits, blake lively expressed her dissatisfaction with the way
12:37 pm
that it was written. she took a stab at writing it with the help of her husband, ryan reynolds. she got some feedback, it seems, from taylor swift, her best friend. she sent it over to baldoni, who then seemed to potentially dismiss her feelings and dismiss her version of it. and that is him apologizing, trying to extend an olive branch to her so that they can move forward with her version and continue to film. but as you see, there are a lot of allegations going back on either side. there is a court date set for monday. it's the first moment in a courtroom in the midst of this back-and-forth battle and they are not going to be there but their attorneys will be there on monday and there's already a trial date set for not this march but next march and it looks like things are marching forward in that direction. >> as far as next week, this conference, this pretrial conference, what's the goal of that? >> blake lively's team really wants justin baldoni's legal team to stop talking to the media, and they do not want them to put out this website that they've been talking about
12:38 pm
publishing over the last couple of weeks that will have more things like that voice note, more behind the scenes from their heated battle behind the movie of it ends with us. it could be text messages, emails, potentially could make both of them not look great but the purpose of it from baldoni's side was to let the court of public opinion decide. but lake lively's team is saying that they don't want that out there because they're worried that it could taint the potential jury pool. >> chloe melas with the latest. thank you. more and more americans are taking on a second job, or what people sometimes call a side housel. >> in the data backed up. according to the labor department, a little over 8.6 million people held more than one job. that accounts for 5.3% of the u.s. workforce. it's the highest number of
12:39 pm
multiple job holders since 2019. >> here to talk about it all, caleb silver, editor in chief of investor pedia. caleb, good to see you. these folks were taking multiple jobs, who are they, what kind of job talking about? >> you got two things going on right now, in a procyclical environment like that with a labor market, strong job availability comes of people probably earning the median income, the median wages in the $70,000-$80,000 range need another job because they can either do it, they have the capacity, or they needed because they need to make ends meet so we know it's getting harder and harder for people to make ends meet as the cost of living rises but you got a strong labor markets of this type of work is available. plus, a lot of work is available for people who want that side housel. >> you mentioned some of the reasons why someone might take on a second job. any tips if someone wants to explore that arena? >> you got to make sure you have the capacity for. you can't burn out and lose your first job because you were trying to do your second job. make sure you have a capacity. make sure there is no conflict of interest if you're thinking about taking that second job
12:40 pm
with the firm you're working with. right now you want to make sure you are not running afoul of that and then be aware of the text actions, you may knock up into a higher tax bracket if you do that. make sure you are getting the write-offs that are available to you and then maximize any types of benefits if possible. some of these side housel's do offer additional healthcare, maybe some supplemental care you can take advantage of, things you want to keep your eyes on but this is for folks who are like teachers or the array of jobs you just can't make ends meet or who realize they have 20 more hours they can devote to earning some more income. >> what's the downside here, though he'll you take on a second job, is it just that you are exhausted and you don't get enough sleep? >> there is burn out there and there is also reduced capacity at your original job, you'd like to try to grow in your career so there is downside there but the fact that there is job availability is a good sign for the labor market. we know employment is only 4.1% and there is a lot of job availability, especially as there is mortgage economy type jobs or remote jobs you can do without having to leave your home. >> when we look at the numbers, in some states the number of people with second jobs is double the national average.
12:41 pm
you mentioned people just trying to make ends meet but is there any other reason that we are seeing this sort of side housel, gig economy pop-up? >> you're talking about wisconsin, north dakota and hawaii all double the national average, close to 10% in their state. sometimes there's more jobs. think about north dakota and some of the gas fields up there and other places where you can do a side housel or do that into another job so that but also the fact that there is a lot of labor needed still especially in jobs that might pay a little higher than the minimum wage and you can do either from home or for 10 to 15 hours per week. >> caleb silver, thank you so much. there is good news today about a milestone in women's soccer. >> one star player is breaking barriers and approving that hard work really does pay off. here is nbc news correspondent steve patterson. >> reporter: it's a moment that's more than a new player being introduc to fans for the first time. this is a moment history was made. naomi girma becoming the first ever million-dollar women's soccer player. by king her talents across the pond to play for the storied chelsea football club,

12:47 pm
risk factors that come up? >> having proximity to high- quality care. another thing is financial challenges and food deserts. health literacy and just access to transportation. so you want to go see the doctor but if you are really deciding, can i pay my rent or can i actually pay for medication, it can be challenging. >> or if you don't even have a car and you have to take public transportation, and you're in reno, where you work that could be a al challenge. how do these things show up in people's behavior and in their impact on their health, like how they actually are medically? >> one of my patients struggles. they want to keep the lights on but they also need eir medication, so it shows up in oh, i wasn't able to take all of my medication because i needed to pay this bill. and that can be really challenging when you are trying to help that patient get the best care possible. but they also need to be able to have a roof over their head.
12:48 pm
>> finances definitely a challenge. another thing that was listed was proximity to healthcare. i reported a lot on maternity care deserts, women who are not close to an ob/gyn provider. i wonder, of the social risk factors, to any stand out to you as particularly difficult? >> there's several. one i think about just being able to get to the doctor, but you also want to see a doctor that looks like you, that can understand you, that really is somebody who is diverse and that is a huge challenge when we talk about maternal health, when we talk about general health. all of those things add up and are barriers to accessing the best care. >> what are things that if someone out there is watching and thinking, yeah, i do have some of those issues, how can people make changes or where can they go for help to make changes, to try to get access to healthcare? >> public health is a great option. looking online and finding those resources. the other thing to think about his community hospitals and clinics. they often provide free care or at a sliding scale so that's the first step to be able to at least get some care and really

have the ability to help yourself. >> i love that. scan your community, see what's already out there. clearly you are passionate about this and a lot of this stems from providers themselves so i'm wondering what are we seeing if anything in the medical community to sort of address some of these risk factors. >> really investing in diversity in that healthcare or that community organization because you need to be able to understand the population that you are seeing. the other thing that is vital is promoting health education that people can understand so they can actually implement in their lives. >> some of the ways we are talking here, which have a social risk aspect. where do you say when a patient says, dr., i don't know if i can take all my medicine this month? what's your advice? >> the first thing, i lean into curiosity and find out, what are the barriers. because when you bridge the gap and you ask, what are the things that are preventing you,

the turf industry is trying to address environmental concerns. for better or worse, artificial turf is the only option for high use, high density fields. there's certainly a shortage of fields in santa clara county for kids to play on. i absolutely agree with that, but i think the solution is not necessarily building more fields with plastic turf. a ban would not force the removal of turf fields, but it would prevent the installation of new ones that would impact the sunnyvale sports complex, as well as the san jose earthquakes. proposed fields at the county fairgrounds. supervisors will take up this issue in about an hour from now. plenty of sunshine this week, but rain clouds are blowing in this weekend. here's meteorologist kari hall with the extended forecast. the stretch of dry weather continues from today through thursday, and we've also had some more of the same temperatures that are right at about normal for this time of year, or maybe even warmer than we typically see for the end of the month. and then for the weekend, we're going to see the showers coming in. and for the
