right now on the afternoon

edition, president trump making the first trip of his second administration to tour disaster areas, bringing him to southern california later today. thanks for joining us this afternoon. i'm anne makovec. the visit comes as the president has been in a war of words with governor newsom over federal relief for the wildfires. the president and first lady melania trump are expected to land at lax this afternoon. then they're going to head to the palisades fire burn area and get an aerial and walking tour of some of the damage. the president has criticized state and local officials response to the fires, and has threatened to withhold federal relief funds. this morning, he laid out two actions that he wants california to take, saying the state has to adopt voter id laws and send more water to the los angeles area. well, the governor's office responded with a fact check on the state's voting laws and water

policy and said that conditioning aid for american citizens is wrong. earlier today, the president stopped in north carolina, where he talked about overhauling the president, the federal disaster response. erika brown has the latest on that. >president trump arrived in asheville, north carolina, friday to receive a briefing on hurricane helene recovery efforts and to meet with families affected by the devastating storm. >i'll be taking strong action to get north carolina the support that you need to quickly recover and rebuild. >it's part of a disaster tour that also includes a stop in los angeles to survey the catastrophic wildfires that are still burning. the president's first trip of his second administration follows new criticism from trump about fema, the federal agency responsible for responding to disasters. >i'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling fema, or maybe getting rid of fema. i think, frankly, fema is not good. >trump said he'd rather see states handle their own

disaster response, and that fema's role should just be to give states money. >at least eight wildfires continue to burn in southern california, but there is some good news. firefighters say they are gaining ground on containing some of those fires. and this weekend, widespread rain is expected to help significantly near san diego. the border two fire continues to rage this afternoon, burning more than 4000 acres. firefighters have that 10% contained. the palisades, sepulveda and hughes fires all now more than 50% contained. and the eaton fire is almost fully contained at 95%. still, many evacuees are in limbo, wondering when they might be able to return home. >watching it on tv, you know, it's really sad to watch. first of all, really emotional to watch and to watch other people's stories. and even when i got home tonight when i was thinking, like, just getting home. i mean, we've been out since noon yesterday and i just

thought, when am i going to have to do this again? like, you know, like this is this one was a lot. >now, we mentioned that rain on the way to l.a. while it will help with firefighting efforts, it's also bringing a new threat. there's concern that even a small amount of rain could cause flash flooding or mudslides in the burn zones. up to half an inch per hour of rain is expected. one man says he's already been shoring up his home in altadena after it survived the flames more than two weeks ago. >better to do something ahead of time than wait until the last second and not be able to do anything about it. >crews across the area are helping clear out debris in preparation for sandbags, and tarps are being handed out to locals who might be impacted in the foothills. new at noon, half moon bay community leaders are hosting a two year remembrance ceremony to honor the victims of the farm worker shooting that happened two years ago. systemic changes for farm workers are still being called for in the wake of that

tragedy. >as for doing all of this work, the rhetoric coming down from the federal level is pushing those who need the most help into the shadows. >the suspect in that shooting was a former employee at the farms. his trial is set to begin in april. that incident exposed the poor living conditions that farm workers are forced to endure, with local leaders promising changes. our kenny choi is taking a look at whether or not they've delivered. >javier torres has been working at farms in half moon bay for nearly 50 years. he remembers living with 5 to 10 other workers in single rooms and sleeping on cardboard beds. sandra sanzone is a farm worker advocate and translates for the 72 year old. >that disrupts the families. it puts a lot of stress on the on the families, on the couples, on the children. >torres now has housing for his family after decades in the

fields, but is sharing his early struggles, hoping it will help other field workers find homes too. >they've worked so hard their whole lives that they deserve to have a space to call their own. >construction is underway at 880 stone pine road to create a mobile housing community for 47 farm worker families. those displaced after the mass shooting two years ago will get priority. ray mueller is a san mateo county supervisor. >there is a lot of work to be done to improve the living conditions, and we're undertaking that now. >the other project yet to get underway is a five story affordable housing development for senior farm workers closer to the center of the city at 555 kelly avenue. the city council finally approved it in may after some pushback and criticism from the governor to get the ball moving. >the feedback that i've heard is there are some merchants who are worried about parking. anytime you do something close to a city center, people tend to get you tend to hear more objections. when our community says, yes, you belong here. yes, you are

worthy of dignified housing that creates an inclusive community. >for torres, any housing dedicated to farm workers will help families who are desperately in need. >igual. he's excited for the stability that it's going to bring. several hard working families here on the coast side, seniors that have dedicated their lives to working the fields just like he has. >just hours after a federal judge temporarily blocked president trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, the president indicated that he's going to appeal. attorneys general from 22 states, including california, are challenging the move, with lawsuits calling it a violation of the 14th amendment that immigration uncertainty is also leaving daca recipients very anxious. the program is meant to protect people who were brought into the u.s. as children from being deported, and allows them to work legally. veronica macias shares one woman's story.

>which one do you think is prettier? life for the dreamers. like sarah souza began looking bright after the implementation of the daca program in 2012. okay, tengo buen dia. well, still not a u.s. citizen. souza loves this country, she says, for the opportunities it's afforded her. i haven't been to brazil in almost 23 years. the mission is where she feels most at home, filling her with a sense of community and connection to her latinx roots. as a daca recipient, she's managed to complete a master's in public affairs, has worked for the city and county of san francisco, and she's an immigrant rights commissioner. as obama would say, our dreamers are american in every way except the documentation. we are very concerned with, you know, daca, the daca program. it was certainly a target for,

you know, previous trump administration. and now we are anticipating anti-immigrant court you know, circuit court decisions. under new immigration policies, she's now worried about the future of the country's estimated 650,000 dreamers as the deferred action for childhood arrivals program recipients are known. republicans say those targeted will be criminals. however, during his first term in office, president trump attempted to kill the program, making souza and others nervous about losing temporary protections. but once. they start hearing the stories of the people. senator josh becker recently held an event in san francisco to discuss the history of mass deportations and to highlight what's being done to protect the state from potential raids. as the son of immigrants, he believes there's no denying the vital role immigrants have had on california's economy. we

built this country through immigration. so all of us, everybody. in this. country is immigrant. the only ones that are. not are. the american indian. yeah. recognizing the economic impact of immigrants, not just, of course, in the the work and the jobs and the labor that is done, but also in the taxes. estimates are that undocumented population contributes, $8.9 billion to the state of california. souza is hoping younger dreamers are able to carry out their aspirations in this country, just like she has. and this country can agree on a humane immigration reform. i lived most of my life here, so san francisco is my home, i belong to every aspect of this city that's so beloved and has so much to offer because of its, you know, diversity and cultural contributions, all from amazing immigrant communities that have worked

and lived here for centuries. >still ahead here at noon and streaming on cbs news bay area, we are fact checking the fires president trump set to land in southern california as his war of words with governor newsom continues to heat up. we're going to take a closer look at how the state is trying to fight

hey sweaty! sweetie. you good? someone stole my old spice antiperspirant. now i'm smelling like perspirant! i did, for its 24/7 sweat protection. you did this to my pits. ♪♪

you did this to my pits. now, as president trump travels to southern california this afternoon, governor newsom is planning to greet him on the tarmac. sounds a little awkward to me. we're going to be watching to see how that meeting goes. meantime, federal aid to the wildfires has been a central issue between the two, along with alleged misinformation regarding the state's response. a new fact checking tool created by the governor is aiming to offer clarity. our cbs california investigative correspondent julie watts, has a look. >reporter we. ask you. we've got to deal with this misinformation. there were hurricane force winds of mis and disinformation lies, misinformation after a disaster is nothing new. but governor newsom's approach to combating it certainly is. he set up his very own fact check website using his personal domain. interestingly, he never directly fact checks president trump. you might call it social media diplomacy. instead, he fact checks posts from people who echo the president's sentiments. while some of his fact checks are easily

verifiable, like the hollywood sign was not on fire. others require some nuance. which brings us to fact check. number one did governor newsom cut california's fire budget ahead of the l.a. fires? newsweek was first to publish the headline, but the governor didn't respond until it was picked up by fox news. for his stupidity and stunning incompetence from california's democrat leaders. newsom called the reports that he cut california's fire budget by $100 million in the months before the fire, a ridiculous lie. except it's not a lie. let's start with the governor's fact check. it is a fact that since he took office, the number of cal fire personnel in cal fire's budget has increased significantly. it did not double. it is also a fact that newsom did cut more than $100 million in supplemental wildfire related funding last year. here's the budget. it includes $12 million in cuts for home hardening, $5 million for prescribed fires and hand crews. but the bulk of the cuts were for biomass pilot and conservation projects. so it's unlikely these cuts would have

actually impacted the l.a. fires. now to fact check number two, did california run out of water. for the sake of the smelt? they have no water. they had no water in the fire hydrants today in los angeles. it was a terrible thing. instead of fact checking the president, the governor fact checked a post from libs of tiktok saying there's no water coming out of the hydrants because the city didn't fill the reservoirs. as the governor notes, in fact, the reservoirs in california are full and there's no water shortage in southern california. in fact, state data shows that all but three of california's major reservoirs are at or above historical averages. but the 177 million gallon reservoir near the palisades fire was out of service when the fires began. newsom said he's launching an independent state investigation. >all right, back to our first alert weather. now let's take a live look outside in downtown san jose, as we are almost to the weekend. let's get that forecast from meteorologist jessica burch. >it's almost the weekend.

and as we dive. into this. weekend, we have some big changes in the forecast for us. the past few days have been amazing with sunny skies, warm temperatures. it was such a treat. now as we head into this weekend, a cold front sweeping through and this is going to bring in some gusty winds at times for our friends up in the north bay as we head into early saturday morning hours and lasting into the afternoon too, we could see wind gusts anywhere up to around 25 to 35mph at times in areas like napa, sonoma, all the way over into fairfield and around that exact same time as we advance the clock, you see the time stamp just above me heading into saturday forecast. we're expecting light showers, possibly up in the north bay, just around three, 4 or 5:00. that will circulate its way back in from offshore down south, closer to half moon bay and pacifica, pushing into the santa clara valley in the early morning hours for sunday. and this is going to be a nice treat for us, considering the fact that we haven't seen rain in quite some time since the beginning of this month, and same trend for our friends up in the sierra too. they haven't received much snow and into this weekend we go. we could see anywhere up to around two,

maybe even three inches all the way down into areas like bear valley. let's head back locally though, and i want to dive into the next seven days because past this weekend we're still dealing with upper 50s and lower 60s kind of flirting back and forth with each other throughout the bay area. forecast. it's going to be a little bit sunnier for us. on the bright side, for monday and tuesday setup, but then we head all the way over into our inland spots. now we're talking about the east bay, the santa clara valley, where just yesterday we were in the 70s. today we're in the 60s. by saturday we're already down into the 50s. and that will be a cool way to start off next week, with sunnier skies right around the corner in the forecast to. >there's so many creative and effective ways. to be. more sustainable and just. reduce the waste. >first time grammy nominees are on a quest to save the planet, one album at a time. the sustainable artwork that

mopping is hard work, but i thought it was the only way i can get my floors truly clean. and then i tried the swiffer powermop and realized i can get cleaner floors without the extra work. it has a built-in solution that breaks down dirt on contact. and the pads hundreds of strips scrub away sticky messes even from grout lines. ok powermop! plus, it's 360-degree swivel head cleans up along baseboards and even behind the toilet.

so, ditch the bucket and all the hard work that comes along with it. with the swiffer powermop. that comes along with it. in our project earth report, an award winning folk rock band from the south. two young

designers in san francisco, and a shared quest to try to help the planet. together, they've cut a path to music's biggest night and possibly a grammy. >in san francisco, on the ground floor of an old victorian, you'll find an unusual studio. welcome to the office of ordinary things. >they tell us. that >once inside, you realize there's nothing ordinary about it. >we focus on. working with companies and organizations that are doing something beneficial for the planet, for its people. there are. so many creative. and. effective ways. to be. more sustainable and just reduce. the waste. >designers johnny black and georgia sage work in a studio that focuses on climate, sustainability and social good. their tools include. >sustainable papers. printed in the us versus overseas to reduce.

shipping costs. like emissions and sustainable inks, and production when possible. you can't, you know, totally remove plastic in all parts of the process. but absolutely, we're trying to mitigate that. >recently, johnny got an early morning phone call. >and they were like, yo, you're nominated. and we're like, what? what? and then you called. me on my day off and like, pretended. it was. like a work thing. and then. we're like, we're grammy nominated. >the graphic designers are up for best recording package. their client. >looking for healing under. a. ceiling when it's beyond orion's belt. >the avett brothers, an award winning folk rock band out of north carolina. the band is also into sustainability. >i love. johnny for that. i think it's he's he's a he's a real advocate and a real hero in that sense. and george is right there with him. >scott avett spoke to us from his home about the designers. >not only are they so intelligent, but they are so heart smart. you know, they're

just so brilliant in the heart. >the album is a collection of songs that seeks out the sacred in the commonplace, and the design reflects that beauty. >the goal is to, yeah, add and add depth to the experience, and also to really just bring you in and allow you to get lost in the world. >the work is covered in textures, hidden etchings and symbols. the colors are pulled from a medieval bible, enclosed a lyric book featuring illustrations from scott. >scott is a fine artist and he's just absolutely phenomenal. >now a grammy nomination. >this whole thing has been so humbling and surreal. it'd be a great honor to to win. >and a great gift to a world always looking for a little healing. >looking for. healing under. a ceiling. when it's. beyond orion's. belt. >and you can watch the grammys live right here on cbs news bay area. it all starts at
