today. and you can see the bridges are doing very well. we've been looking around for crashes. we haven't had a lot going on on the bay area commute. we do well, interestingly enough, we do have a little bit of a slowdown on the altamont pass with the truck traffic coming into the bay area on westbound 580. 702 let's get back to the headlines for now. >> thanks. the nation is looking back at the life of former president jimmy carter. >> the former president died yesterday at the age of 100 at his home in plains, georgia. jimmy carter was known and will be remembered as a humanitarian and a peacemaker. in 1977, jimmy carter became the nation's 39th president. in 2019, he became the oldest living president in u.s. history. he left an indelible mark on countless people, including many right here in the bay area. >> i think he did a solid job as president and like i said, i highly respect the man excellent as a president. >> he really showed a lot of integrity, personal integrity and honesty, and he lived his

life for that same way. >> jimmy carter was best known for his commitment to environmental issues, as well as his dedication to the organization habitat for humanity after he left office. >> the former president helped habitat for humanity put it on the map. in fact, he turned it into his passion project in 2013. the former president was in oakland, where he helped build 12 new homes at the brookfield court development for each of the carter's. for each of the house the carters helped build, the couple spent time with the new homeowners and left behind a signed bible. >> i feel like we always get more out of it than we than we put into it. although we work sometimes very hard and overwork on occasion. >> former president carter and his wife helped build more than 4300 homes through the organization. >> well, former president carter and his wife, rosalynn, served on the board of habitat of humanity for many years. they received the presidential medal of freedom in 1999 for their work that never ended.

>> this couple has had such a productive and prolific post-white house life. i think they'll both be remembered more as the philanthropists and the activists and their post-white house career than they will for some of the things that happened during their time in the white house. >> and on top of all of their volunteer work, president carter also helped to make furniture and raise additional money for habitat for humanity. >> meantime, leaders across the u.s. and here in the bay area paid their respects to the former president and the legacy that he leaves behind. bay area congresswoman barbara lee posted this photo to social media of herself with both rosalind and jimmy carter years ago, saying, quote, i'm deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former president jimmy carter. he displayed a lifelong commitment to global peace, justice and human rights. he inspired me and countless others. we've got a lot more coverage of the death of former u.s. president jimmy carter on the fox local app, on top of his impact on the bay area. you can see coverage from his home state of georgia as

like hypothermia, and people over the age of 65 years old are most at risk for those types of dangers, according to the city. of the 197 homeless deaths this year, more than a quarter of those were seniors older than 65. santa clara county does offer a handful of warming centers in different cities, but in san jose, most libraries and community centers also operate as a warming center. they will be open for this week. moving forward, mayor matt mehan says that he wants to open about a thousand managed safe spaces in the next year. he's also made pushes to build hundreds of tiny homes and portable homes in the city to try to help address the growing homeless crisis. we're live this morning in san jose. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, james thank you. time now 707. at several oakland gas stations, employees are cleaning up after a string of robberies. it happened early sunday morning. at least four gas stations were hit before 7 a.m, including a gas station on high

street. a car wash on broadway and a m pm on shattuck, and a shell station on fifth street. one cashier we talked to, who didn't want to be identified, says at least eight people smashed through the front door. >> another cashier. they tell him, don't do anything. they will kill you. then they came over to the atm. they want to try to break the atm with a big hammer. they tried. they tried? they didn't break it. >> the cashier says just two weeks ago, that very same location was robbed. and oakland police say during another robbery, a store employee pulled out a gun and the would be thieves ran away. >> a gas leak in san leandro that forced thousands of evacuations is still being investigated to figure out the exact cause. this morning, the first call about the smell of gas received by pg and e at 4 a.m. yesterday morning. crews responded within 30 minutes, we're told, but it took almost five hours to cap the gas line. a mandatory evacuation order issued for dozens of

neighborhoods near washington avenue and llewellyn boulevard near interstate 880. around 10 a.m, the fire department gave the all clear for residents to go back inside of their homes. >> we've learned is it's a six inch gas line that is in the flood control panel of washington and lewelling. the positive news is because of the rain, where the gas leak is actually underwater. so it is fuming from under the water, which has helped us in the amount of evacuation we've had to do. >> more than 12,000 people were under the temporary evacuation orders and power was shut off to several hundred homes, but it has since been restored. >> our time now. 709. there's new information about this weekend's crash in oakland involving two bart police officers and police cars and a medical supply van. now, bart says the police officers were rushing to the scene of a life threatening drug overdose saturday afternoon when their patrol cars crashed near the

have time off, or at the very least, they're working from home. you can see the east shore freeway looks very good. so we're off to a good start on this monday, 710. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. well, we're less than 48 hours now away from 2025. that means several new laws will take effect here in california. governor newsom signed several new bills into law in the past year, many of them dealing with issues that continue to plague california, like affordable housing, crime and health care. >> well, six people arrested for stealing from a store in the south bay. how much? deputies recovered in stolen goods, plus. >> the coroner stands as a model of what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose. life of principle, faith and humility. >> we continue our coverage of the death of former president jimmy carter. we will take you live to washington. we'll get a report on the lasting impact carter left behind across the

held 52 american embassy employees hostage in tehran. the hostages weren't released until the day he left office. months after losing his reelection bid to ronald reagan, carter eventually returned to georgia and turned his efforts to promoting world peace that included a trip to cuba in 2002, the first american president to visit in more than 40 years. later that year, the former president won the nobel peace prize. carter's life was also centered around charity. building homes for the poor with the habitat for humanity project. president carter remained active well into his 90s, teaching sunday school in georgia twice a month. he left hospice at age 99 last year to bid his wife of nearly eight decades farewell at her funeral service. public observances will be held in atlanta before jimmy carter is buried next to his wife at their family plot in plains, georgia. andre, back to you. >> rebecca castro reporting for us live in washington. rebecca.

people take extended vacations. you can see the dumbarton and the san mateo bridge look pretty good. so if you do have to go to work, at the very least you're going to have an easy drive for the most part. 719 let's talk about today's weather. and here is roberta. >> it is cold outside, sal. >> yes, it is absolutely chilly. >> so in fact, check this out. up to 20 degrees colder at this hour in some neighborhoods. clear skies, official sunrise in just a matter of minutes from now at 724. by the time the sun sets tonight at 5:00, we will have realized temperatures 55 to 60 degrees. but we are kick starting the morning with a frost advisory in addition to a freeze warning in throughout sonoma and napa counties, also right around the santa clara valley mountain range. and then a few clouds. today, plenty of sunshine, even colder tonight with an advisory warning going back up right now. 37 degrees in santa rosa. but in some of the inland areas, the mountainous

81. accomplishments included the camp david accords for the middle east and the nuclear arms treaty for the soviet union. >> i've had a wonderful life. i've had thousands of friends and i've had an exciting and adventurous and gratifying existence. >> carter lived a life of charity and nonprofit work. he built homes with habitat for humanity and taught sunday school twice a month. >> well, former president carter will be buried right alongside his wife, rosalynn, at their longtime home in plains, georgia. the carters were married 77 years, the longest presidential marriage in u.s. history. throughout his presidency, rosalynn was her husband's biggest supporter and confidante, and he praised her hard work as well. after leaving the white house, the carters devoted their lives to service, and they once talked about how they stayed connected even when things were tough. >> give each other space and we try to do things together.

>> we also make up and give each other a kiss before we go to sleep. >> now the carters home was deeded to the national park service. the grounds are going to be turned into a museum next thursday, january 9th. the state funeral for jimmy carter will be held in washington. president biden made the announcement that will also be a national day of mourning. officials of the carter center in georgia say public observances will be held in atlanta and in washington, and a funeral service and burial for the former president will be held in plains, georgia, the hometown of jimmy carter. >> 734 is your time. with the new year comes new laws in california, and there are quite a few we want to highlight. >> ktvu amanda quintana is in walnut creek to tell us more about some of the new employment related laws. good morning amanda. >> good morning. you're right. there are several new laws that will go into effect in 2025. some of them include things like

health care, crime, affordable housing. there's even one that includes how close you can park to a crosswalk. but let's talk about two of the laws that are really affecting workers. so if you're an independent contractor. one new law gives you extra protections. first, there must be a contract in place when hiring someone services in exchange for $250 or more. and those workers must be paid on or before the date in their contract. or if there's no date specified, no later than 30 days after a service is completed. another law includes the expansion of paid sick leave for agricultural employees. it allows these workers to use paid sick days to prevent the effects of working outdoors in dangerous conditions, such as smoke or extreme heat. now, at 830, we'll focus a little more on one of those parking laws that i mentioned about how close you can get to a crosswalk starting

on january 1st. live in walnut creek amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amanda, thank you. 7.35 is your time right now. state officials have also passed new laws that will affect drivers. one will ban drivers from parking within 20ft of a crosswalk marked or unmarked. the goal is to reduce accidents by making it easier for drivers to see people trying to cross the street. but if you won't get a ticket if you park near a crosswalk starting january 1st, there is a 60 day grace period so drivers can get used to the new law. another law will make it easier for prosecutors to try car thefts in court by getting rid of the locked door loophole. prosecutors used to have to prove car doors were locked when someone broke in, but will no longer need to do that. >> and andre, another new law will ban colleges in california from giving preference to applicants who were related to alumni or school donors. now, this measure takes effect in september of 2025. it affects both nonprofit colleges and private institutions like

stanford and santa clara university. supporters say the new law gives students a fair chance to reach higher education, regardless of their socioeconomic status. when governor newsom signed that bill, he said californians deserve to get ahead by merit, skill and hard work. the uc system eliminated legacy preferences back in 1998. >> santa cruz county leaders say con artists are now trying to cash in on the partial collapse of the wharf from a week ago. they say people online are posing as businesses along the wharf, asking for donations to repair the extensive damage. city leaders stress there is nothing more than a scam. a 150 foot section of that wharf broke apart and crumbled last week, sending tons of debris into the ocean and onto the santa cruz shoreline. city leaders say it's too early to tell when the damaged wharf will reopen again. >> time is 737. we don't have much of a commute this week. we're not expecting one. sometimes, unfortunately, though, people are going faster

and they get into crashes. we know that much of that right now. we can see the traffic at the bay bridge is light and we don't have anything going on there. we've been looking at the peninsula and things are doing very well. we don't have a lot of the slowdowns we normally had. we've had a couple of crashes and they haven't caused a lot of slowing. there have been minor crashes and so, so far, your commute on this monday after christmas looks pretty good. 737 let's talk about today's weather. it's been a little cold out there, roberta. >> yeah. >> my favorite weather feature of all is a cold front, because once it passes. oh, it's so beautiful. the air quality is terrific. it looks so clean and fresh. but with this cold front, a pool of cold air has settled into the bay area. and this is why we do have that frost advisory in effect for many portions of the bay area. but look at the temperatures. not that bad. it's just those isolated inland valleys where we have the freeze warning. in effect, it's going to be colder tonight than what those

temperatures are right here. right now. it's 43 degrees in alameda, backing through el cerrito into the berkeley hills. it's 48 also in willow glen, but these temperatures are up to 20 degrees, 20 degrees colder than this time yesterday. so you're going to feel the chill. and the air visibility is an issue, as it was yesterday from livermore backing all the way into the pleasanton area. also, deteriorating conditions around napa. temperatures today topping off 55 to 60 degrees. few high clouds will drift in from time to time. i wanted to track these clouds and see what kind of an impact it would have on your new year's eve, so watch the clock. this is our futurecast. by 3:00 in the afternoon, the north bay becomes partly cloudy. these clouds drift in and out towards midnight for revelers, so it won't be as cold tomorrow night for new year's eve as it is going to be tonight. and it will not obscure any kind of visibility. okay, as far as your new year's eve plans are

concerned, it will be partly cloudy. it will be cool with temperatures towards midnight pretty much in the 40s. hey, andre, next time around we're going to talk about how about some football? are you ready for some football 49ers forecast? >> it's about that time. >> all right, roberta, time now. 739. the new year, as you know, right around the corner. and you know what that means? making resolutions. but are people still making them? >> that is a good question. now, we want to hear from you. what do you think? this morning we're asking, do you have a new year's resolution and your options. yes, and i'll stick to it. the other is no. that's overrated. and does surviving count? all right. that's got 20, 28%. 72%. no. that's overrated. so go to ktvu.com/vote. let us know what you think or scan the qr code at the top right hand corner of your screen. numbers are starting to move. >> they're starting to move. you know me personally i don't make major resolutions. i have general things i want to, i just

slow traffic this morning. if you are driving on one specific part of the bay area, just one, and that would be 580 coming in over the altamont pass. believe it or not, that spot does have slow traffic coming in from 205 until you get over the altamont pass. i suspect that's because of heavy truck traffic. the rest of it, though, the rest of the commute, if you can call it that, looks very good. a lot of people have time off. obviously it is a little crowded in some spots, but for the most part you're not seeing any slow traffic other than the altamont pass. 750 what about today's weather? here's roberta. >> it's going to look beautiful. all of america is going to tune in and say, boy, do i want to live there. you know what i'm talking about. yes, yes, it's 49ers football tonight on monday night football. the weather couldn't be better, albeit a little bit on the chilly side. make sure you have on your favorite 40 niners jersey and go. niners. 53 degrees. by the end of the game it will be in

>> thank you. today, the nation is looking back on the life of former president jimmy carter. >> there's a lot to talk about. the former president died yesterday at the age of 100 at his home in plains, georgia. jimmy carter was known and is going to be remembered as a humanitarian and a peacemaker. in 1977, carter became the nation's 39th president. in 2019, he became the oldest living president in american history. he left an indelible mark on countless people, including many right here in the bay area. >> i think he did a solid job as president and like i said, highly respect the man as a president. >> he really showed a lot of integrity, personal integrity and honesty, and he lived his life for that same way. >> jimmy carter was best known for his commitment to environmental issues, as well as his dedication to the organization habitat for humanity. after he left the white house, the former president helped out habitat for humanity, put it on the map, in fact, then turned it into his passion project in 2013.

>> the former president was in oakland, where he helped build 12 new homes at the brookfield court development for each house he chartered. the carters helped build. the couple spent time with the new homeowners and left behind a signed bible, too. >> i feel like we always get more out of it than we than we put into it, although we work sometimes very hard and overwork on occasion. >> former president carter and his wife helped build more than 4300 homes through the organization, leaders across the u.s. have paid their respects to the president, a former president, and the legacy he leaves behind. bay area congresswoman barbara lee posted this photo on social media of herself with both rosalynn and jimmy carter years ago, saying, quote, i am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of president jimmy carter. he displayed a lifelong commitment to global peace, justice and human rights. he inspired me and countless others. we've got a lot more coverage of the death of former u.s. president jimmy carter on the fox local app, on top of his impact on the bay area. you can

light. it wasn't this light before. i mean, it wasn't heavy, but no one is getting through, apparently. so we're going to keep an eye on that. what's happening? the rest of the commute looks very good. on a day where a lot of people have time off. it's 808. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you so much, sal. our coverage of jimmy carter's life and legacy continues. we'll go live to washington with how leaders in our nation's capital are reacting to the former president's death. >> and a gas leak in san leandro pushed thousands of people out of their homes. how the responding teams handled that emergency and kept the situation from getting even

argue that h-1b visas help attract skilled foreign born workers, others like steve bannon, former white house strategist, says the temporary work program takes jobs away from americans. >> our time now 812. several new laws take effect statewide january 1st. one of those laws changes parking rules. it's known as the day lighting law. beginning wednesday, drivers won't be allowed to park within 20ft of an unmarked or marked crosswalk. the goal is to improve visibility for pedestrians and possibly reduce the number of accidents. other new california laws include a law allowing retail stores to get restraining orders against people who were sentenced for stealing, vandalizing, and assaulting an employee. another, which will create sentencing enhancements for people who take damage or destroy property that exceeds $50,000. and a new law will raise the classification for soliciting and buying sex

from minors under the age of 16, from a misdemeanor to a felony. and another law will give tenants ten business days to respond to eviction notices, up from five days. and yet another law will make it easier for cities to build tiny homes for homeless residents. >> 813 now, president biden has declared january 9th a national day of mourning to honor former president jimmy carter. america's longest living president had a nobel peace prize. he won it. he was one of the winners here. he died yesterday at the age of 100. fox's rebecca castor joins us to look back at the life and legacy of the nation's 39th president. rebecca. >> andre. good morning. jimmy carter will lie in state here at the capitol before his state funeral at the national cathedral on january 9th. a day in which president biden has declared a national day of mourning. >> jimmy carter stands as a model of what it means to live a

employees hostage in tehran. the hostages weren't released until the day he left office. months after losing his reelection bid to ronald reagan, carter eventually returned to georgia and turned his efforts to promoting world peace that included a trip to cuba in 2002, the first american president to visit in more than 40 years. later that year, the former president won the nobel peace prize. carter's life was also centered around charity. building homes for the poor with habitat for humanity project. president carter remained active well into his 90s, teaching sunday school in georgia twice a month. he left hospice at age 99 last year to bid his wife of nearly eight decades farewell at her funeral service. public observances will also be held in atlanta before jimmy carter is buried next to his wife at their family plot in plains, georgia. andre, back to you. >> rebecca castro reporting for us live in washington, d.c. rebecca. thank you. here's a look at the five longest living u.s. presidents so far after

field advantage in the playoffs. this will be a rematch of last year's nfc championship game, when the niners came from behind 17 down to end the lions dream of reaching a super bowl for the first time. but the 40 niners won't be playing for much with their playoff chances dead. quarterback brock purdy says the team is still prepared to match the lions intensity. >> we know that they're going to come in with with a, you know, a heavy heart from last year and ready to go for this game. and but that's what makes this league exciting. so monday night football man and it'll be fun. >> niners cornerback tavaris ward was not able to was not available for this matchup. the team downgraded his status to lb after initially being listed as questionable due to personal reasons. ahead of tonight's game, santa clara police issued a traffic advisory. heavy traffic and delays anticipated all day and for several hours after the game. your screen has a full list of the impacted roadways. tonight's game against the detroit lions kicks off at 515. >> all right. our time is 826. a feud over tech workers. the visa

longest living president has died. we'll tell you how the life and legacy of jimmy carter is being honored, and the details being released about his funeral. >> and new year means new laws

going into effect. the rules aimed at protecting employees, starting in just a few days. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> welcome back to mornings on two. it is almost 830. i'm andre senior and i'm dave clark. >> monday, december 30th. are you ready for a cold start to a new year? >> not really. it's coming back from tahoe. it was cold enough there. i thought i was coming back to some warmer weather, but i guess not. >> that's not. >> yeah, it's actually a cold start to the end of the year. does that make sense? yeah. gotcha. hi, everybody. good morning to you. yes, we have a frost advisory and a freeze warning in effect for just the next 45 minutes to an hour, and then it's allowed to expire. but it remains cool today. but crystal clear along the seashore into the 50s. outside number there, 5558 around the bay today and 55 to 60 in our inland areas. a few high, thin clouds, but look at the beautiful

skyline of oakland and all of its glory this morning. by the time the sun sets tonight, we will have realized temperatures again near 60. but right now, out the door, 38 degrees in santa rosa. we are now up to 42 in livermore and in fremont. and good morning, san francisco. you sit at 42 degrees to livermore. stubborn fog all the way into pleasanton. visibility in some spots, like stanley road zero. so please be very mindful of that. also getting some reports of fog in the benicia area. now we do have again those temperatures at 59in vallejo backing through crockett. and tonight that frost advisory goes back into effect for inland areas. how low will it go. we'll talk about that. that's coming up. but right now sal castaneda in the house. >> why thank you. yeah. we are. and i have better news for you at the macarthur maze. roberta. westbound 80. that crash we had has been cleared at the macarthur maze, and things are improving rather quickly as you

drive through. which is nice, because it was backing up for a while, uncharacteristically. bay bridge is light. we don't really have a typical commute. 831 let's go back to the desk heartsell. >> people from both sides of the political aisle are paying tribute to the late president jimmy carter. president biden said, quote, the world lost a remarkable leader, while president elect trump wrote on truth. social quote challenges jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all americans. for that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. carter went from georgia state senator to governor and then the presidency in 1977 to 81. accomplishments included the camp david accords for the middle east and a nuclear arms treaty for the soviet union. >> i've had a wonderful life. i've had thousands of friends and i've had an exciting and adventurous and gratifying existence. >> carter lived a life of charity and nonprofit work. he built homes with habitat for

humanity and taught sunday school twice a month. >> well, former president carter will be buried alongside his wife, rosalynn, in plains, georgia, their longtime home. the carters were married 77 years, the longest presidential marriage in u.s. history. during his presidency, rosalynn was her husband's biggest supporter and confidante, and he praised her work as well. after leaving the white house, the carters devoted their lives to public service, and they once talked about how they stayed connected even when things got tough. >> give each other space and we try to do things together. >> we also make up and give each other a kiss before we go to sleep. >> what a love story. the couple's home was deeded to the national park service. the grounds are going to be turned into a museum. now, next thursday, january 9th, the state funeral for jimmy carter will be held in washington. president biden made that announcement. there will also be a national

day of mourning. officials of the carter center in georgia say public observances will be held in atlanta and in washington, and a funeral service and burial for the former president will be held in plains, georgia. jimmy carter's hometown. >> with the new year comes new laws in california, and there are a few we want to highlight. >> ktvu is amanda quintana is in walnut creek to focus on some of the car related laws. good morning amanda. >> good morning. yes, there are several new laws that will take effect in 2025 that will affect drivers. so one of them is how close you can park to a crosswalk, a crosswalk just like this one. and it's known as the day lighting law. so starting on january 1st, you will no longer be able to park within 20ft of an unmarked or marked crosswalk. the goal is to improve visibility for pedestrians and potentially reduce the number of accidents. more than 40 other

states have some kind of day lighting law like this one. now, you likely won't get a ticket for this on wednesday. there is a 60 day grace period. some cities, like san francisco, have already been giving out warnings, but by march, drivers will face a fine and those will vary city to city. and whether the curb has been painted red or not. but it will be around 40 to $100 usually. and of course, this will remove some parking spots as well. another new law eliminates what's known as the locked door loophole. this requires prosecutors to prove that car doors were locked when someone broke in. so this will make it easier for prosecutors to address auto burglary and thefts. and then a third law makes it illegal for a job posting to require applicants to have a valid driver's license. that is, unless driving is one of the jobs main functions or taking another form of transportation like the bus or like walking would take too long

and cost the employer. so there are quite a few things that you will need to know starting january 1st if you're a driver. also, if you're a pedestrian, it's good to know that you will have more protections in crosswalks like this one, and drivers will be able to see you a little bit better. live in walnut creek amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. amanda, thanks. while president elect trump promises to close the border, the he, along with elon musk, are pushing to expand the visa program to recruit highly skilled foreign workers to the u.s. trump has restricted access in his first term. joining us to discuss immigration and how it could divide the gop. we're joined by todd bell, director of the political management program at the george washington university. good morning to you, todd. >> good morning. it's great to be with you again. thanks for having me on. >> so i want to ask you, what do you make of this strange development here and this feuding between people within the republican party over the future of immigration? you have tough on immigration talk. but but but you know, well, you have

to make some room for h-1b visa programs. tell us what your thoughts are about that. >> well, you do or do you? that is really the question here. and we see, you know, the traditional trump base was built out of a group that came out of the republicans that were starting to support george w bush, and there was a type of an anti-intellectualism and anti-education more of a, you know, a white working class element. and that's something donald trump really fired up and propelled him to the presidency. now he's getting surrounded by all these billionaires who think, you know, that, you know, h-1b visas are great and that immigration actually provides a lot more benefits. and these are people who work in tech, and they have this real libertarian streak, and they don't have much of a filter. when they talk about what they think about american workers. and some of the comments that we've heard some of them make say that we need h-1b visas because american

workers have no commitment to excellence. they they are not as educated. and they just don't aren't, aren't as good workers in the tech sector. and so we have to bring them in from elsewhere. and that is really in contrast to what donald trump says, where we want to build everything at home and raise up our own workers. >> and that is what i wanted to ask you as an expert that views these type of things. what do you make of this? where do we have to do everything here in this country and take care of the people in this country? but then you're saying that, well, the people that are here are not good enough. will that messaging really be a problem going forward for the party and for the administration? >> i think it's really creating a fissure there within the party. it's really difficult to govern. it's easy when you're on the outside to say, oh, there's immigration is a problem and ride that wave to the presidency and then realize that, well, some of the things you want to do as president really require immigrants. and does your base of voters really understand the difference between tech visas

and illegal immigration and legal immigration? in fact, in our own gw politics poll, we found that the trump voters were very punitive when it came to immigration, and it didn't matter whether it was for legal immigration or illegal immigration. and they're not able to make that sort of separation, or at least that separation doesn't matter to them as much in the core base. but now trump is surrounding himself by these millionaires who are whispering, whispering in his ear on policy. >> all right. so there's a new story that the new york times published today that mr. trump's company employs over or has approval for over 1000 workers for the h2 program. and that's to hire people like gardeners and housekeepers. and he hires those people from out of the country under this h2 visa program. how does that square with his messaging, by the way? he's had this for years, by the way. so how do you square that with that messaging with the folks that are saying, you know, we have to have, you know, a tighter grip on immigration, then you have the other side saying, we need this for skilled

workers. yet the president himself is hiring, is using a visa program for people like gardeners and housekeepers, people who can find those jobs. i mean, we have a right. >> we have a big example of do as i say, not as i do here, for sure. and donald trump has been talking about how he has h-1b visa people that it employed, but he hasn't talked about the h2's like you were talking about. and there is, of course, a big difference and a big skill level difference. and i think that's really where we're going to get most of this criticism of the policy. >> so what do you what do you what are you watching here for to unfold from all of this? i'm curious from an expert who's yourself? >> i'm going to watch what happens with congress as we get a new congress coming in. i think we need to have a little bit of a long term focus on this to see what gets in and what gets out of a new immigration bill, because i think that's ultimately what we're going to see here. and, you know, the devil is in the details. and so it'll it'll be interesting to see if this continues to be a

fissure. obviously, when elon musk went up on the budget issue last week, he was persona non grata to a lot of the people who've been there for a long time. and we'll see if this if elon musk is going to be too big of a power here in in a city where there's only room enough for one sheriff, when the sheriff only wants room for that one person, no one else. >> so we'll see how that works out. professor todd belt at george washington university in washington, dc. thank you so much for joining us and providing your insight. this is a story that far from over. so we'll be talking to you again soon perhaps. >> great to be with you. thanks for having me on. >> all right. great interview. time is now 841. well, another new law will ban colleges in california from giving preference to applicants related to alumni or school donors. the measure takes effect september 2025. it affects both nonprofit colleges and private institutions like stanford and santa clara university. supporters say the new law gives students a fair chance to reach higher education, regardless of

their socioeconomic status. when governor newsom signed the bill, he said californians deserve to get ahead by merit, skill and hard work. the uc system eliminated legacy preferences back in 1998. well, several new laws take effect as a new year begins, including a law that will make pharmacies provide new labels on prescriptions when it's requested by people who are blind or have problems seeing. the new labels will include braille, large print, or other options. these labels, by the way, will be provided free of charge. >> bay area businesses feeling the impact of the bird flu. how an east bay donut shop says it is navigating high egg prices and shortages to make sure it can keep

let's start with the washington commanders. they gave their fans a treat this sunday, punching their ticket to the postseason in dramatic fashion. at the end of regulation, the commanders and eagles were tied at 24 apiece. then, in overtime, quarterback jayden daniels drove down the field and connected with his tight end for the game winning touchdown. with the 30 to 24 win, the commanders secured their playoff spot as a wild card team. we have some

running back highlights in today's monday morning quarterback. the eagles saquon barkley joined an elite list on sunday, becoming just the ninth player in nfl history to eclipse 2000 rushing yards in a single season. barkley finished yesterday's game against the dallas cowboys with 167 total rushing yards. the eagles also clinched the nfc east title with that 41 to 7 win. with one game to go, barkley is just 101 yards away from breaking the league's 40 year old single season rushing record. the minnesota vikings held off the green bay packers in a primetime nfc north rivalry game. minnesota led by as much as 17 in the second half. in the final quarter, however, green bay tried to mount a comeback. they almost did it. they scored 14 points to make it close, but not close enough. 27 to 25. the final packers are still in good shape for the playoffs. the nfc's top seed will be on the line in the final week of the regular

season, when the vikings take on the detroit lions. >> here are some of the stories we're following for you today. right now, a frost advisory is in effect until 9 a.m, and tonight the advisory will return along with a freeze warning. the national weather service says the cold weather will be especially dangerous for the homeless and unsheltered in the south bay. san jose mayor matt mehan wants to open 1000 safe living spaces next year to help people living in extreme weather. president elect trump is now supporting a widely used work visa program. h-1b visas have been hotly debated among republicans, while some, like elon musk, argue that h-1b visas help attract skilled foreign born workers, others, like steve bannon, former white house strategist, say the temporary work program takes jobs away from americans. state officials have also passed some new laws that will affect drivers. one will ban drivers from parking within 20ft of a crosswalk marked or unmarked. the goal is to reduce accidents by making it easier for drivers to see people trying to cross the street. another law will make it easier for prosecutors to try car theft

in court by getting rid of the locked door loophole prosecutors used to have to prove car doors were locked when someone broke in, but will no longer need to. >> our time now 847. the price of eggs keeps going higher as grocery stores deal with the shortage caused by the bird flu and outbreaks of salmonella, both large and small businesses nationwide are caught in this crunch. oakland's donut savant is among the food stores struggling with this shortage of eggs. the bakery has been creative in finding eggs or other items in low supply, something workers learned how to do during the pandemic. >> all over the bay area for ingredients. sometimes if we can't get it in the east bay, we're going to the peninsula sometimes, or we're going to san francisco. being a small business, you've seen so many disappear and we're we're ahead of it. >> now, the u.s. bureau of labor and statistics says here in california, the price of a dozen large eggs went up $0.78 during

one week this month, up to $8.97. egg prices are expected to stay high through at least early 2025. >> it's 848 right now. we do have a pretty good looking commute here at the bay bridge. it's not a typical commute. we had an earlier crash at the maze. once that cleared out, the traffic recovered nice and quickly. as we look at these commutes, we don't have a lot going on. we still have a little slowing in berkeley because of that earlier crash, but things are definitely light. 848 let's talk about today's weather. here's roberta sal. >> i just heard from my good friend curtis. he's a shrimp fisherman. he says the napa river and vallejo is socked in. you know what that means? more shrimp. no shrimp, no shrimp, no cajun shrimp. no barbecue shrimp. no garlic shrimp. no shrimp this morning. that's a problem. it's a problem this morning. but the fog will lift. it will clear out. look at the view. no problems with fog

around the estuary this morning. this is the best view i've seen this morning. from oakland all the way to san francisco. no visibility issues there, however. livermore. quarter mile visibility. napa. six mile visibility. novato eight mile, nine miles. now in half moon bay. fog will clear out and no rain in the forecast this morning. the frost advisory will expire at 9 a.m. the freeze warning at 10 a.m. few clouds scrape across the sky today. otherwise, the abundance of sunshine. no rain. but tonight it's going to be even colder than what it is right now. at 38 degrees in santa rosa, it's 43 degrees in livermore, backing through fairfield into rio vista, colder than that in concord, clayton and also in crockett, mid 40s around castro valley, then around the peninsula. everybody's pretty much settled into the 50s. it is 50 degrees in san jose. so these temperatures for comparison purposes up to 20 degrees colder than 24 hours ago at this time.

and that's because we had that blanket of clouds and some rain today with the abundance of sunshine and few clouds, temperatures 55 to 60 degrees. and if you're ready for some football. 53 degrees at kickoff, a wind under ten and by the end of the game mid 40s. so make sure you have your layers. all right. these are the clouds are going to race across the area but not enough to push out that colder air mass that's in place with the passage of yesterday's system. so frost advisory goes into place tonight 28 to 35 degrees for overnight lows. in fact, coldest spot right there around cotati, penngrove and also sebastopol into guerneville. 35 in napa and sonoma. and you know, i want to mention that there is the potential of black ice because we still have ponding on some of the roadways. and then you get these cold temperatures on top of that. so be very careful on ramps and off ramps. here is your extended forecast. let's walk you through it. we have the fog and the chill in the air this morning. then sunshine, the

coldest start to the year, will be on the last day of the year. that will be tomorrow. and then sun and clouds, and it will be partly cloudy for your new year's eve on new year's day. a few clouds for 2025. partly cloudy on thursday. rain likely, albeit light on friday. and then we're talking about a good looking weekend with clouds and sun mix. make yourself a wonderful weekend and day. i'm already looking ahead to the weekend. >> yeah, right. >> and we just started the week. roberta. thank you. >> the new year is just around the corner. and you know what that means. resolutions. but are people still making them? this morning we're asking, do you have a new year's resolution? your options. yes. i'll stick to it. no. that's overrated. or does surviving count right now? does surviving count is 46%? 39% say no. that's overrated. and 15% say yes. and i'll stick to it. go to ktvu.com/vote or scan the qr code in the top right hand corner of your screen. >> surviving is important.

beginning, i like mentally prepared myself. like i'm like, this isn't my baby. it's somebody. it's going to be somebody else's baby because i didn't know i was going to work with them. so i just knew that, like, it was never my baby. i feel like it's kind of like a full circle moment. it's kind of just like, fulfilling for me. >> the founder of the company, surrogate, first started the agency after going through it himself with his wife to have his kids. jeffrey, who says on average, surrogates receive about 50 to $55,000 for base pay, but that can go up to $100,000 depending on the state and other factors. he says he finds most surrogates do not do it for the money, but rather to help families in need. more than 60 small, black owned businesses just got a boost from oakland's african american chamber of commerce. the organization gave 63 businesses $1,000 each. the chamber of commerce says the micro grants are supposed to encourage growth and sustainability, or just fill any immediate needs the small businesses might have right now. the president of the oakland

african american chamber of commerce said these entrepreneurs are essential to the city's economic and cultural fabric. a new state law that takes effect on wednesday prevents libraries in california from banning books based on their political viewpoints and content. it comes in response to a growing number of libraries and school districts across the country, removing books from their shelves. the american library association found more than 4200 book titles were censored nationwide in 2023. that's a 92% increase over the previous year. nearly half of those banned books focused on race and gay rights. antioch police say a man considered armed and dangerous has been located. 30 year old marlon wheeler is accused of shooting his girlfriend inside of a home last night, prompting a lockdown. police say the girlfriend and three children were unharmed and were able to escape, but a nearby home and vehicle were hit by bullets. investigators say wheeler was taken into custody sunday evening after he barricaded
