here where, you know, democracy requires political parties to operate effectively, parties are really the intermediary organizations that bring citizens interests into the policy workings of government. you know, they link us and our demands into actual governance and political agendas. but for many years now, citizens don't feel as if the parties of the left or the right really represent their interests. instead, they often think that parties are only working for economic elites, for example, or for lobbyists and people who have more time and resources to try to get what they want out of government. and as a result, people feel very disconnected from their political leaders. they don't have necessarily many ways of participating actively within party organizations. >> there's more of our conversation in our full, hour long special on the transition of power pending with the incoming trump administration. if you didn't catch the special, it's on the fox local app, which again, is a free download for your smart tv or phone. as the

legislative priorities. we could be getting underway. >> a win, and if that issue gets resolved, you've got the other side of the capitol to contend with. republicans will control the senate. but again, the margin is narrow and there is plenty of work ahead. trump's cabinet picks are hoping to hit the ground running in 2025 to win quick confirmations. some will have bipartisan support, but others may have to survive narrow party line votes among the more controversial. pete hegseth for defense. robert f kennedy jr for health and human services. and kash patel to lead the fbi. >> i think that there are some nominees that are people i think i can work with, but i also am deeply concerned about what i've heard mr. patel say in the past. >> but either way, the landscape here is changing in 2025 from one end of pennsylvania avenue to the other. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. >> cal fire statistics show

we're burning less acres. and is that just because of the wet weather, or is mitigation and other factors really chipping in? [music] >> and we've got some rain to talk about. not right now. but as we go into friday it gets wet again into t

earthquake in lake county. the usgs reports a 4.5 magnitude look at this usgs map. noyou injuries from the light shaker. we will continue checking for updates and bring you them throughout the evening. california's first monthly snow pack survey comes out on thursday, and it's likely to be reasonably good for this early part of the rain and snow season. ktvu tom vacar previewed the snow, water, and fire numbers as we cross our fingers for more water and less fire. >> as the new year begins, it's good to take a look back and see what's happened with california's fire and water. essential elements, but also something that can lead to real problems. the golden state has had some big fires last year, but they didn't come in swarms in 2020. for cal fire and the

u.s. fire service battled more than 8000 fires in california that consumed just over a million acres in 2023, aided by a very wet year. there were about 1200 fewer fires that burned less than a third of the acres. but even combining both years, that's less acres than the annual average over five years. >> if you compare where we were 20 years ago, ten years ago, you can just tell that the innovation, the technology that we have to use and also the public's education on, on, on being fire safe is just so much more better than where we were. >> super aggressive fire responses, fuel clearing projects, utility system hardening, home hardening and more than a thousand forest surveillance cameras monitored 24 over seven 365 by artificial intelligence seems to be paying off. >> i've been reading about that, and i'm sure it has, because to get to a fire quicker, you're going to save lives and property

too. so that's i think that's a big deal. >> i feel like this is a great opportunity, you know, for us to, you know, improve the technology to, you know, prevent like, you know, continue working hard to prevent fires. >> california's six mega reservoirs are now at 122% of their historical average. at the beginning of 2025. that's slightly better than the same time last year. this suggests that california could be in very good storage position right now, so long as people continue to conserve. >> i think that there should be more mandates about, you know, conserving water and reminders constantly because, as you said, we don't know what we have ahead of us. >> right now, the average statewide snowpack is 115% of its historical average, but it's only 40% of what it would need to be on april 1st, when the last major snow survey of the year takes place. the big
