>> now at four more active duty troops headed to the southern border. as the trump administration acts quickly on the president's plan to crack down on immigration. >> also, a new brush fire erupts in southern california, forcing thousands to evacuate. the flames have shut down a major freeway as crews rush to yet another fire. >> from ktvu fox two news. this is the four. >> right now, crews are battling the so-called hughes fire near the community of castaic, north of los angeles. video from above showing massive plumes of black smoke amid dangerous, windy conditions there. welcome, everybody to the four. i'm greg lee. >> and i'm alex savage. that new fire broke out today as crews continue working to try to fully contain two large fires that have been burning in l.a. county. here's what we know so far about the hughes fire. it started just before 11:00 this morning near castaic lake, and it has exploded in size. it's

now more than 8000 acres burning through all of that dry brush and trees. and it's being fanned by gusty winds in this area. evacuation orders have been issued for more than 19,000 people in this region, including several schools in the area. the smoke could be seen from neighborhoods in valencia, including from the magic mountain theme park. now let's give you a live look, if we can, at the scene of this fire this afternoon and this fire again burning in near the community of castaic, which is sort of north of santa clarita, right along interstate five. and at last check, interstate five shut down in both directions because of this fire and all of the smoke it's putting off. so interstate five closed near the grapevine here as this firefight continues, and as you can see from these live pictures, there are a number of homes in this area right now. hence the reason for those mandatory evacuation orders. we're going to continue following this firefight in southern california. a large fire near the grapevine burning

this afternoon. we'll keep following it and get you updates. >> yeah. huge fire fueled by strong winds amid another extended red flag warning. those winds are expected to increase over the next several hours. let's bring in meteorologist mark thomas. mark, the winds are going to keep fanning these flames here. >> yeah that's right greg. those dry, strong winds will continue to be a huge challenge for the fire crews for this new fire in southern california. so this fire burned about 5000 acres within three hours. that's extreme fire behavior. this was an image snapped earlier today. and so as you have been hearing the huge fire, over 8000 acres that started today just a few hours ago at 1053, you'll notice that smoke plume, a defined wind direction. it's that northeast wind that's really settling in. so just to give you an idea of the location, you can see santa clarita here. and then here is here's the castaic lake. and you see that where that fire is burning and expanding in size. as we take a look at some of the wind reports right now, some sites here that warm spring sites that's up in elevation

gusting to 45 miles an hour. other reports gusting at around 10 to 16 miles an hour. but you got a lot of topography here. and as a result, you find one isolated spot. you can have a much stronger wind. and everybody has a very low relative humidity, around 7 to 8%. so in the single digits, that's going to be a big challenge. the red flag fire warning continues for all these areas in southern california until 8 p.m. thursday. winds will actually pick up later on tonight and into thursday. so as we take a look here at this high wind warning, this actually begins 10:00 tonight until 2 p.m. thursday. that is out toward the fire zone, and winds could be gusting over 50, maybe topping 60 miles an hour. here's a look right around the fire zone itself. and as you can see, as we take this into later on tonight winds around 14 miles an hour. but then look what happens. those winds do pick up out of the northeast tomorrow morning, gusting to nearly 30 miles an hour and still breezy to windy into your thursday afternoon. that relative humidity down once again, very

dry down to the single digits right around 4%. so unfortunately the red flag warning continues. the high wind warning will set up later on tonight. this will be a very dangerous situation for the fire crews with this new fire in southern california. >> extreme conditions. we will continue to follow. mark. thank you. we move now to the white house. the trump administration moving quickly to act on the president's immigration plan. the pentagon announced it will send 1500 active duty service members to the southern border by the end of the month. they will join the roughly 2500 national guard and reserve forces already there. one of the executive orders mr. trump signed gives the military a role in immigration enforcement. mr. trump also set for his first oval office interview of this term with fox's sean hannity, which will air later tonight after pardoning about 1500 criminal defendants charged in the january 6th attack on the capitol. trump again attacked president biden for his preemptive pardons, including of members of his own family. >> this guy went around giving everybody pardons. and, you know, the funny thing, maybe the

sad thing is he didn't give himself a pardon. and if you look at it, it all had to do with him. >> i just want to know what republicans are trying to do right now is to equate two things or just not the same at all. so doing a preventative pardon of members of congress who served on the january 6th committee is not the same as pardoning 1500 people who committed crimes, some of them who assaulted police officers violently. >> also, relative to immigration, the justice department has offered, excuse me, ordered federal prosecutors to investigate state or local officials who they believe are interfering with the administration's efforts. last night, the san francisco sheriff's office posted on x, writing the office will not support any legislation that undermines san francisco's sanctuary city ordinance. >> the former mayor of half moon bay says he has been receiving calls about workers not showing up at local businesses because they are afraid of being

detained. >> ktvu jana katsuyama is live with the actions nonprofit groups are taking to help people. janet. >> well, we're right outside city hall, and so far everybody i've spoken with says there have been no reports of ice raids here. but that doesn't mean that there isn't fear. a lot of people today were talking about the new immigration policies and one local nonprofit even received a postcard, they said, with a threatening message on the back. tucked away off the road in half moon bay, staff with the nonprofit alas visited farm workers. >> we need to know that they're not alone, that we're standing with them and we're here to work together. >> their farmworker outreach team says people are concerned over president trump's executive orders and changes in immigration policy, calling for deportations. community activists have been distributing information and red cards with legal information about rights in english and spanish. >> the card pretty much gives

you your rights, you know, to, you know, to stay silent. don't answer any questions. if you're detained, ask for an immigration attorney and don't sign any documents. >> joaquin jimenez, former mayor of half moon bay, says the fear is real. and on wednesday, he says he got calls of workers afraid to come to work. >> at a local restaurant. you know, did not open then other restaurants. some of the workers did not show up. or children, you know, are very worried about what could happen if it happens, the parents being detained, what's going to happen to the children? >> and as i mentioned, adding to all of the fears, allah says that they received a threatening postcard this week. it says in one corner, pack your bags. trump's coming. and then on the other side it said there is nowhere to hide. and it gives a phone number and a website for ice. so that obviously created a lot of concern. and, you know, one of the directors said, frankly, it was scary. they're really concerned about that kind

of sentiment that's out there in the community. they say, against some of the people who are here in this community. >> and jenna was was the only organization we know of that was targeted in that fashion. >> they said, alex, that they have been hearing from other nonprofits, that they also received similar types of messages. the united farm workers association, also being one, said this is something that they're keeping an eye on, but very concerned, obviously. >> yeah, obviously a lot of concern there in that community. >> jana katsuyama reporting live in half moon bay. jenna, thank you for that. and as the threat of mass deportations and ice raids ramps up, advocates are urging immigrants to know their rights. >> for more, we're joined by bill hing, professor of immigration law at the university of san francisco. bill, always appreciate your time. let's talk about janice piece there. advocacy organizations handing out what's called these red cards, reminding people of their constitutional rights, reminding them they don't have to open the door, answer questions or sign anything. i know you've been

getting a lot of calls. how does this help calm some of the fears we're seeing in these communities? >> well, it calms fears in some respects that people understand that they have a constitutional right to remain silent, and that they don't have to open the door to an ice officer unless that ice officer has a warrant. and so it's helping. but honestly, there's a lot of anxiety in the community. and. i unfortunately, i think that the trump strategy in part is to instill fear. and that's happened. >> and that. >> that clearly is obviously the sort of the overarching goal with these immigration orders that have been rolled out so far by the administration. you hear about people not showing up to work places in the half moon bay community. that's just one example. how much do you feel like we sort of see that ramping up and intensifying here in the coming days and weeks?

>> i think that as soon as you start seeing some ice actions in various parts of the country, you're going to see more and more parents not sending their children to school. you're going to see more and more parents hesitant to go to work. you're. i think that some folks are contemplating leaving the united states, and maybe that's a victory from the trump camp. and so, yeah, i think the anxiety is going to increase. and we're going to see that at workplaces and schools. >> yeah. bill, organizations are also putting out advice on forms for immigrants to carry and forms not to carry. can you explain some of the tips as we bring some of those up on the screen here? >> yeah. so here's the thing. obviously if you have lawful permanent resident status or daca status, it's safe to carry that. but the truth is that if you're undocumented and you have evidence that you were not born

here, that's all that ice needs to institute deportation proceedings against you. again, if you carry a foreign passport, some mexican migrants have something called a matricula card. it's an identity card that the mexican consul issues, if that's all you have, if all you have is evidence that you were not born here, that document can actually lead to your deportation hearing. >> there are also, i believe, we have there are some numbers that people should call. but if someone finds himself in a situation where where they are being asked about their legal status in this country, what what do you recommend that they do? >> yeah. if, if, if somebody sees an ice action, they should call one of these rapid response numbers. because there are immigration attorneys, volunteer immigration attorneys standing by to help. but i think these that folks should also call community based organizations, from catholic charities to legal

services for children to godsend to dolores street, community services to la raza central legal to get an immigration consultation. because it turns out that a sizable number of folks that we meet who are undocumented, they actually have a pathway to getting lawful permanent resident status. and so they need to get their case and their family situations evaluated by a competent, honest immigration consultant. >> bill shifting a little bit here to the news of the day, hearing that more troops are going to be sent to the southern border to act sort of in a law enforcement presence. and so when you hear news like that, what do you expect to see there at the southern border, particularly from these members of the military? >> well, they're going to be carrying arms. and that's always scary because you just never know when something accidental happens or even intentional happened. we don't want to see the loss of life unnecessarily at the border. the border has been militarized in the sense

that there's been a lot of electronic stuff for years and years, but to see military dispatch, there is going to be a frightening scene. and i think it's going to be questionable the constitutionality of this, because there has to be a national security problem in order to, to send military to the border, because military is not supposed to work on domestic issues. so i think there may be a challenge to whether or not sending military to the border armed in any way is actually legal or not. >> yeah. and that is sort of the legal question that's being considered right now because of active duty, troops are prohibited from doing law enforcement according to a certain act that is in place in this country. but it sounds as though there are conversations may be happening within the administration about invoking the insurrection act, which would allow troops to be used for civilian law enforcement. what are your thoughts on that and the implications of going

down that path? >> that's pretty unheard of, to be honest with you. the research that i've done the last time that something like that happened on u.s. soil was when, during desegregation, when the military was needed to, to be sent to schools to help black children get enrolled in their public schools. and that was that was deemed an emergency situation, a national security problem then. and we're not talking about insurrection at the border. the vast majority of folks there are trying to come in in an orderly fashion. they were making appointments and now they've been canceled. but it isn't people storming the borders of the country. it's people who have been trying to come in lawfully and patiently. >> yeah, certainly a conversation we have had and will continue to have with you. bill hing, professor at the university of san francisco and

immigration law. certainly always appreciate you joining us, sir. >> thank you. >> all right. well, we just had. >> jana katsuyama reporting from half moon bay a moment ago, and tomorrow marks two years since the tragic mass shooting that happened in half moon bay. seven farm workers were killed at two mushroom farms back in 2023. a coworker has been charged with their murders since that time. advocates and elected officials have worked to improve conditions for workers, including better housing and services. the workers at the two farms have also received settlements for back pay and benefits owed. still to come for us this afternoon here on the four tariffs, trade and trump's economy, the impact of the new administration's policies and what all of it could mean for your money.

and other tech stocks continue their upward momentum. the dow was up 130 points. the nasdaq added 252 and the s&p 500 gained 37 to close just shy of its most recent record. los gatos based netflix led the way, gaining nearly 10% for an all time high of nearly $954 a share after earnings and subscriber growth beat expectations. >> while president trump's economic agenda is just beginning to take shape, during the campaign, he focused heavily on trying to bring down prices in this country. president trump also promised to extend the tax cuts he enacted during his first term, including lowering the corporate tax rate. the president has also floated the idea of making workers tips and overtime wages exempt from income taxes. and when it comes to international trade, trump is proposing some sweeping tariffs on foreign goods. joining us now to talk more about all of this is jorge nocetti, a wealth advisor from morgan stanley. jorge, it's great to have you

on. we appreciate the time. all right. as he took office, president trump issued a memorandum on inflation, sort of putting the focus on these high prices that we have struggled with in this country. this directs federal agencies to take different actions to try to lower prices for things like housing, health care and groceries. i'm curious to get your sense what kind of an impact an order like this may have, and what kind of concrete steps we may see from the trump administration to try to bring down prices. >> well, the president, in his inaugural address was very heavy on trade and immigration, but very light on deregulation and fiscal policy. what we can really see is a lot of policies being written, put out there. but the implementation, the implementation on it, you know, it takes a long time to do that. so when you talk about, you know, tariffs on china and tariffs on the rest of the international community, it really has some unintended consequences if you do it wholesale. but this is probably a negotiating tactic to get more

equalization in trade. so when you have high tariffs and there are things that we need that we're importing, then we pay the price and that increases inflation. and then you talk about, you know, reducing taxes. well the tax act will be expiring at the end of this year. the one that donald trump initially implemented in 2017. and he had reduced business taxes at that time. and he proposes now to reduce corporate taxes from 21% down to 20. but if you're doing business here in the united states, corporations can have a lower tax rate of 15%. he's talking about no taxes on social security. a lot of these things are just no taxes, no taxes, which sounds wonderful to the consumer. but the problem is, who's going to pay for all these programs out there when you have less revenue coming in and you're not cutting costs, it's a problem. so, you know, as you know, you know, 85% of the budget is already committed for spending on social security, medicare, medicaid, the military and the debt service. that's over 85%. so there's not a lot

left there to, you know, a few billion here, a few billion there. you really got to look at some of these entitlement programs. so that's what the markets are looking at to see if that will really happen. >> yeah. and i'm curious to try to understand what investors are thinking about when it comes to president trump's plans for tariffs. here are still a lot of questions. he's promising tariffs and promising that, you know, they could be across the board. how important is it from an economic standpoint for investors and everyone across the board more broadly, to get more clarity on the size and the scope of these tariffs? >> well, investors are really looking at, you know, will this raise the cost of goods if there's a 30% tariff from china, goods being imported or 20% or whatever it is, and these are goods that we need here that we don't want to build or make any more here in the united states, then that that cost just gets higher and that raises inflation. and that really battles against what the federal reserve is trying to do is to get inflation down. but everybody agrees that if there's

unilateral decisions on raising tariffs for everybody, it will certainly create, you know, higher cost of goods. and that will create inflation. and the likelihood of the federal reserve lowering the lending rate to banks gets lower and lower, whereas they could actually be increasing those rates if, if inflation is then again pushed up because we're increasing those particular costs. >> and there has been an acknowledgment from president trump that it is going to be difficult to bring prices down in this country. it's been a struggle, as we've seen, to bring the rate of inflation down, despite the work being done by the fed. once prices go up, is there any thought about sort of focusing less on bringing inflation down even further and maybe more of an emphasis on wage growth, essentially making it easier for consumers to sort of absorb these higher prices. >> well, the federal reserve, who runs the monetary system, has focused on getting this inflation down. that was at 7 or 8% down to arguably 2 or 3%. but it's very tenuous because if you if you raise the price of goods, that is definitely going to, you

know, increase inflation. and if you have wholesale immigration, you know, removing a lot of people from this country who actually consume products and actually provide value added to the to the workforce, you got to go out and pay people more money to work for you. so again, all these all these policies are are good intentions. but they could have, you know, consequences that you don't really count on. so investors really have to be careful. i mean, obviously because the president is focusing on, you know, america first, you want to start having a little bit more of your assets in the us versus international, who internationally, their gdp is only about 1% in the us this year. we'll probably finish up in 2024. and end result about 3% gdp. but we're really projecting a lower gdp going forward, forward because we're not comfortable with some of the inflation things that could really continue. but again, the administration has to balance that and manage that. and they have an incentive to do that because they promised to lower

prices, lower inflation. and by the way, there's a midterm election coming up. you know, in a couple of years. it's already you know, the campaign has already started. so the president's been really active implementing things. and we just have to make sure that the results are going to help the economy lower prices and allow people of middle and lower class to be able to buy their eggs at the grocery store. >> yeah. and george, you will wrap up here, but you touched on president trump's plans to extend the tax cuts that he put in place during his his previous term in office here. but but obviously it runs up against the fact that that that adds a lot potentially to the national debt. president trump already facing $3,636 trillion national debt. and by some estimates, those tax cuts would add another 5 trillion to the deficit. how does that sort of complicate what it is that he wants to do when it comes to extending the tax cuts? >> well, the deficit that we have, we're not at a tipping point yet, but we're getting close and every administration will kind of kick the can down the road so they can stimulate the economy. but when you cut,

cut, cut and you're not willing to cut programs, then you have to. then you have to go to the deficit and borrow. and borrowing rates are really high right now. so it's really a catch 22. it's a problem. it's an economic problem that has to be managed. the debt has to be reduced from what it is right now. the debt is more expensive. it takes up more of our, you know, spending that we could be spending on, you know, making our economy better. so i'm sure the administration is looking at what the consequences will be for anything that they implement. and that's why you're going to see a lot of talk but really slow implementation. and we really won't see this implementation really until the following year, especially in terms of taxes. the 2017 tax act is still in effect and it goes on till the end of 2025. so there'll be negotiations and proposals made. and there's a majority in the house, a majority in the senate. but it's very thin. yeah. >> yeah. >> difficult. hold on. it'll be exciting. >> yeah. it should be an exciting time. a lot to keep an eye out for when it comes to

president trump's economic plans moving forward. appreciate the insight today. george nichetti from morgan stanley. good to see you. >> thank you alex. >> and bay area weather after a cold start this morning with freeze warnings and frost advisories. lots of sunshine and mild temperatures this afternoon. another nice forecast for your thursday, then some cooling changes by the weekend. we'll have the update

back online, writing to musk, quote, wrong, as you surely know. and i realize what's great for our country isn't always what's optimal for your companies. some tech experts say the president's investment and focus on artificial intelligence could be a game changer. >> yeah, but there are also concerns about the stripping of rules and regulations. fox's griff jenkins has more now from washington. >> president trump is going all in on ai. on tuesday, he announced a new partnership between openai, softbank and oracle, who will invest a combined $500 billion in ai data centers throughout the country. the project is called stargate, and president trump says it's the first step towards enacting his america first tech agenda. >> what we want to do is we want to keep it in this country. china is a competitor and others are competitors. we want. we want it to be in this country and we're making it available. >> it came just a few hours after trump rolled back former

president biden's executive orders on ai, which were aimed at making the technology safer for consumers and national security. and experts say we're likely to see more regulations cut as the white house tries to accelerate technological innovation. >> some would argue that we need a whole lot more rules and regulations, but it's clearly not the way that that the people, including elon musk, who are around president trump now see it. >> president trump's moves on ai are the hot topic this week at the world economic forum in switzerland. industry leaders are pushing back on the idea of consolidating ai development in american hands, saying they don't want this new industrial revolution controlled by the stargate investors. >> there is no way we're going to let this technology just develop being concentrated and the value being concentrated in the hands of a few actors. >> president trump is expected to address the world economic forum remotely on thursday. in washington, griff jenkins, fox

seen him recently and without exception, everybody you know, we did it at the coliseum when reggie had a softball thing and he looked good. he looked like he could still play and still called me at night and said, would you pass along the news and shocking the next day? for the next 2 or 3 days, everybody was talking with each other about what happened. how is it possible? i mean, really remember your family that, you know, you know, sometimes when that guy's not feeling well, you kind of prepared for it. but with this, it was such a shock. and the neat thing about it is it's given a lot of us an opportunity to talk about the real rickey. he was a great you know, the superstar know rickey was in the middle of all the action, the fun action. so very special guy and a great player. >> yeah. should be a. >> touching tribute, i'm sure this saturday. >> tony, i want to talk about this. this new nonprofit larussa rescue champions organization designed to raise money and support other animal rescues. how exciting is this for you? and what are those efforts look like? >> well, it's a little different concept. sometimes when you're

with an organization, you raise money to do programs. in this case, we're going to raise money to be a contact with people that need rescue help, want to help connect them. a lot of it's going to be in the bay area, but our daughters, especially devin and bianca, are creating a website that's going to connect a connect nationally. so the idea is that these companion animals with the magical, unconditional love, they deserve to be preserved, not euthanized. and we found that the quality of life, you know, if you have a dog or even a cat, your quality of life improves. and there are a lot of people with needs out there, and we're going to connect them through the website. and personally. >> obviously people know you for your work for many decades with the animal rescue foundation and obviously you you sort of went different, went in a different direction. what why did you decide to continue down this path and, and continue with a

new organization? why is this so meaningful to you? >> that's a good question because, you know, ellen and i just celebrated 50. and she says the only reason that survived, because there's so many road trips, i went around and irritate. but our family, elaine, the girls we've been devoted. when you have a passion and you can actively help, it's been a great feeling. so we never even though we disengaged, we've always been involved. we have a family foundation that takes care of the young nonprofits, but the idea was that we needed to get back in a public way, and there was a very innovative way. while we're also paying attention to the basics like spay neuter, we're very fortunate. the goat in companion animal welfare is maddie's fund, and they're the title sponsor, so it's just a continuation. we never really got away from it. this just gets us back to where we have a program that we can

connect with on a professional kind of basis. >> tony, you touched on this, but you're also pairing with the penfed foundation, which focuses on helping veterans. why is that so important to you? >> it's a great question because, you know, when we disengaged, we were still doing the work. and early on i had met the penfed foundation. and, you know, they lead the country in programs to benefit veterans. so it was really a break for us to partner with them. and, you know, i think a lot of us feel like we can't do enough for veterans. and what we learned is just a wagging tail and the unconditional love. so it's a really a good partnership because they have resources that we didn't have and we have connections sometimes that can help them. >> all right. well, the concert is happening this weekend at the lesher center this saturday night at the lesher center. it's called champions to the rescue benefit concert. tickets still

available. what do people need to know if they want to be a part of this? >> yeah, there's some available. we've got the highest priced one. you get the reception afterwards to rub elbows with adam and the players and billy. >> bob and billy bob. >> and you. >> and you. right, exactly. don't sell yourself short. >> tony. >> you know. you know, my nickname is the cocktail hall of famer. you know what that means? it's the players. and then there's the guy that told them what time the game starts and who. >> you're playing. >> so. but it's. >> a it's an important role. >> there's still the tickets are going well but there's a couple of days and there's still some left. >> that's great. all right. appreciate the work that you do. appreciate you being here. >> great opportunity to talk about it. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here. tony larussa. all right. we want to check on our weather now around the bay area. and we'll take you outside to show you the sun setting here over the south bay. another chilly day here. although we sort of warm things up in the afternoon hours. let's bring in meteorologist mark tamayo. >> yeah. nice recovery this afternoon, alex. the warmest
