first, what happens in california does not stay in california. far left experiment, i sometimes think of it as the wuhan lab of far left extremism, they have been cooking up a virus and sent out, and it is not just california, the extremism on climate and race and gender all started in california. we need to beat it in california, and we will hear it but here a more positive reason. whether you are from california or not, as americans, in a way we are all californians because california means to america what america means to the world, the very best of america. that is what california should be. the home of energy and innovation and opportunity and dynamism. that is the best of california and that is what we need to get back to. that is what i am fighting for today. so finally i just want to ask you, are we really going to stand by while america's most beautiful, biggest state is destroyed by the far left? are we going to stand by and let that happen? are we going to let the trump revolution, the turning point revolution,? stop at the california

in a second i will talk to you about california and how we say california.re is something very serious that i want to say first, if i may. we are witnessing the unfolding of the most enormous political scandal in american history. as we are seeing the revelations this week of the scale of the cover-up of joe biden's incapacity, his mental and physical incapacity. many of us have been talking about this for years. from day one. we learned this week that joe biden, from the beginning of his presidency, requiredid a scripto have one-one meetings with members of his cabinet including the secretary off defense. now, before we moved here 12 years ago with my family, i worked as a senior advisor to a conservative prime minister. the idea that a leader of a country would require a script to have a one-one meeting with his cabinet colleagues is unfathomable. it is unacceptable. we must not accept it, we must demand and insist upon a full investigation and accountability for every single person who enabled this, who lied about it, who covered it up starting with kamal

if you're quick today in california at irvine, california has 20 to 30 earthquake the day.et people's attenti rig? this is an opportunity for people to recognize that therare things that anyone can do like getting shake alert on your phone to be ready for the next event to have your supply kits to know we're out of the contacts are this is a rlly good chance for people to this is what i need to do. feel shaking or if i get an inova naral sasters. obviously top of mind for many people, especily gen wildfires burning in. >> southern californiaright now. robert, you mentioned that there are 3 major fault lines that impact folks here in the bay area. be able to speak to which fault triggered this quake? just now this morning. it's really hard tell exactly which all the 3 quick was on. >> but on the map, it appears that this event was ry close. calara, all which is that all of are the those into the bay and right in between. the farther east and then the next one farther west, the hayward and courses and address is just off the coast to only gate. >> can audit. thank you. now, w

that drier than normal signal does include southern california. they might see maybe a sprinkle or two but not enough to make a substantial difference by late next week. looking outside the bay area, clear skies, not much fog. we won't see much later tonight either. it was another unusually warm day, temperatures into the 60s and even 70s. it's still as of 5:00 p.m. 74 degrees in santa rosa. that number will be significantly lower once we get the 6:00 update, but still another warm january day. temperatures through tonight are mostly dropping to the 40s. that gets us a higher than normal jumping off for high temperatures tomorrow to warm back up to the 60s, not quite as warm as today. i think the warmest spots stay short of 70 degrees. we will have more upper 50s right along the coast, upper 50s and low 60s there, otherwise mostly low to mid-60s across the bay area, 61 in san francisco, 4 degrees above normal. in general talking about high temperatures 4 to 8 degrees above normal, the biggest departure from average the warmest locations into the u

and so if you lose california, if you lose the 50 plus members of congress in california. good luck. passing relief aid. you know, when other states need it. so it would be so list to try and politicize something that has always been about, you know, helping distributing the aid where it's needed the most. >> they were just in southern california. understand you are back in the day today for this event in fremont a know your 14th district, you know, almost touches the oakland hills where they have just closed those 2 fire stations, at least seasonally but still concerned there. no doubt. what are they doing in fremont and how is that sort of something that you look to an example of what needs to be done. >> why meyer with i saw today in fremont they added fire company today because they did an assessment of where the majority of the calls are coming from and they surged more resources and a new engine and additional firefighters, 2 station 6 there. so that's the direction you should be going. and that's what responsible government leaders to. so, you know, credit to the ma

now, as for when the debris in southern california will be cleaned up, the california secretary for thelly in past fires, it's taken a couple of months to get through that first phase. but she hesitates to give any estimate here in southern california, because this fire is just so big and the impacts of it have been so huge. so they really need to get a sense of the volume of the waste that is left there before they can really give any true estimate. >> can't even imagine what the volume of waste is going to be. just staggering. zach, you went to southern california to cover the fires last week, reporting for us, of course, and helping out our sister station in la. give us a sense of what it was like and what your impressions are, having been there in person. >> oh, it is just heartbreaking. devastating. i mean, those words i've used over and over and they're accurate, but it really there's just nothing like seeing that devastation in person. there are no images, no pictures that can really bring that to anybody unless you're there experiencing it. as i said, you could drive for so long

some that could have big impacts here in california. he promised to unleash american energy by maximizing oil and gas. looking at how this directive could set california up for a battle for off shore drilling. >> reporter: oil and gas drilling off of the california coast. >> not your beaches. >> reporter: it is a politically explosive operation. >> what we have to do is fight it every step of the way. >> representing california coast for congress for 16 years. says the coastline is a national treasure that needs protection. >> you don't have oil drilling in yosemite, you don't have oil drilling in yellowstone. and frankly we should not have oil drilling off of the california coast. >> reporter: after ronald reagan took office in 1981 his interior secretary announced plans to sell oil and gas rights off of the california coast to the highest bidder. the plan failed due to widespread opposition and mobilized an effort to create the monterey national marine sanction ware. sanctuary. since the oil spill in 1969 california has prohibited new

wildfire age of california.ve had disasters over the years. >> and united states of america, every region of the country has been impacted. >> at one time or another and never has been come with strings attached or been conditional. leading republicans have been suggesting that california fix certain policies in exchange for billions of dollars in federal aid. >> they criticize democratic leaders on policies involving forest and water management. for example, no one wants to leave any american who is in need. >> hanging so to speak. this is not politics. we need sound public policy. california officials say the demand for resources like water was simply too high to sudden. >> its territory. trump and governor newsom have tangled over before they talked about things like forest management during trump's visit to california in 2018, another time of devastating wildfires. but now democrats are calling the latest talk over aid with strings attached, unacceptable. this is what east bay congressman eric swalwell told

in southern california. the san francisco fire department sent 22 firefighters to the palisades fire. they could be there for up to two weeks. >> this is what we train for, and we are trying to get there as quickly as possible to help our brothers and sisters in southern california in need. and the people. we have to remember that the mission of the fire service is to protect life, property and environment. and that's what we're going to go down there to do. >> remarkable work they do. the san jose fire department shared this video showing crews from across santa clara county mobilizing crews from alameda county, oakland, hayward and menlo park are also on the fire lines right now in southern california. >> now, today, fire crews from santa rosa left to help los angeles, as abc seven news reporter tim johns tells us, for many of those firefighters, the experience is a reminder of past wildfires. here. >> there's fire everywhere. >> the devastation in doug hoffman's altadena neighborhood is unimaginable. on t

but i think maybe the lesson for northern california here is that last season in southern californiaas exceptionally wet. so southern california is not in the middle of a long term drought right now. we've actually experienced what is called a wet to dry hydroclimate whiplash event, where we go from very wet conditions last year to very dry conditions right now. and it is that sequence of events in particular that allows for abundant vegetation growth and then drying of that vegetation. that's a pattern that can play out up north as well. >> yeah, it seems to be this kind of feast and famine effect in recent years. doctor daniel swain with ucla. we appreciate your time and expertise. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> again, our live reporting continues on abc seven news at four, five and 6 p.m. get those live updates anytime at abc seven news.com. and by downloading the abc seven news bay area app. okay, let's get you to our other big story back here at home. daniel lurie is officially san francisco's 46th mayor after being sworn sworn in on the steps of city hall. j

nos vamos a sur del estado de california, allÍ bomberos de california como de mÉxico y canadÁ se han destruido miles de hogares, lamentablemente ha causado la muerte de 24 personas y 23 personas continÚan desaparecidas. es importante entender que las labores por parte de los nÚmeros son continuas en esa zona. ellos prÁcticamente han quedado divididos para poder cubrir todas las zonas afectadas. bueno y precisamente mi compaÑera tamara mino ha estado recorriendo las zonas afectadas, devastadas por estos incendios y nos tiene un resumen de lo allÍ encontrado. tamara: al que continuemos de lo que se podrÍa decir una zona de guerra, una zona de batalla es increÍble y bastante difÍcil describir lo que hemos podido ver, a la luz del dÍa se observa mucho peor y es demasiado devastador. no nos imaginÁbamos el dolor que deben estar sintiendo estas familias afectadas. pero le quiero mostrar algo, y que en la mayorÍa de las casas que quedaron calcinadas hemos notado como las chimeneas se mantuvieron. y algo muy curioso, ha pasado lo mismo que varias de las estatuas de la virgen tambiÉn se mantu

fires continue to devastate southern california. a san francisco animal shelter steps up to provide relief. i'm betty yu with that story straight ahead. >> confident that we are making significant progress. but it's important to remain on guard and follow safety advisories. >> new evacuations, new warnings and new fears. the latest numbers this morning as crews continue to work tirelessly from the air and the ground to battle fires raging in l.a. county. this as more families return home to ash and rubble. [music] >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> and good morning to you. welcome to mornings on two. >> i'm claudine wong and hi everyone. i'm frank mallicoat and we begin on this saturday with the very latest numbers from cal fire and the fire disaster down south in l.a. county. the palisades fire has now burned more than 21,000 acres. it is currently 8% contained. firefighters say there were flare ups overnight in palisades that forced a new round of evacuations and altadena. the fire has now burned more than 14,

what the voters of california need to do is change the management throughout california to get real managementmaria: yeah. so what are your thoughts on the agenda then? a group of house republicans are traveling to mar-a-lago this weekend to discuss the reconciliation strategy. president trump is planning to meet separately with the committee chairmen and freedom caucus and gop members of the salt caucus. do you see the new york and la congressmen or lawmakers trying to keep hostage -- keep congress hostage until they get their salt deduction lifted? is that where we are right now, kevin? >> i don't think they're going to hold anything hostage. everybody's got to make sure -- if you do not get a reconciliation done that means you don't get the tax policy done this year and taxes all go up. you find common ground and this is where the leadership of president trump is so rewarding. that he's bringing people in now, because the house has a smaller majority. this is an interesting fact. it's the first time in modern history the majority in the senate is bigger than the majority in the house. and c

that's a priority for california. obviously environmental concerns. the climate fanatic. that's a priority for california. but the people of california who need water when their homes are burning, when their livestock is threatened. businesses burning to the ground. apparently they are out of luck. so, yes, they should be ashamed of themselves. but, of course, none of them have any shame. it's america last, as usual. and by the way, no one thought biden's briefing today in santa monica is going to reassure a single victim of these fires. it was all performative. he stood there with a screen in the middle with a fire chief on one side and biden looking with a dazed look into the screen on the other side of the screen. it was ridiculous. so, when this crisis is over, every politician who prioritized spending billions on woke nonsense, or on migrants, sanction area cities, they should be thrown out on their butts. they should never work in politics again. and, at the same time, sensible politicians, republicans, common s

they have done this to the state of california.nd order, there is no law and order in california. crime is rampant. the secure border? there is no secure border in california they invite illegal aliens. go right down the list is most regulated state in the unit at the highest tax state and the union. it's got more bureaucrats, more control, then any state in the country. and it is a disaster. it looks like a third world disaster which was once really the shining state on the hill. that is what is taking place. nature cannot be stopped. it can't be stopped. nature can be very, very violent. it kills. that is what it does. but, we can do what mankind is capable of doing with our intelligence, with our technology, with their know-how, with our muscle to treat eye too ameliorate situations to try to prepare for them and to manage them. this is not a hope or amiri aspiration but look at florida, look at governor desantis. they know they're going to get hit with hurricanes over and over and over again. we cannot stop hurricanes. and so f

again in southern california.ighs for tomorrow will be in the 60s, so not as warm as today, but still a nice day. mostly sunny skies, mild conditions. and here is a look ahead. your five day forecast. maybe some patchy fog first thing saturday morning. and then let's keep an eye on some winds approaching northern california into the weekend. maybe some gusty winds near 20 to maybe 25 miles an hour. we could be talking about some stronger winds into early next week, but once again, a bunch of sunny symbols here. no rain clouds on this five day forecast. our dry weather pattern will continue into next week. >> mark thank you. much more news to come here on the four this afternoon. but first let's check on the roads around the bay area and a live look here at the bay bridge toll plaza during the middle of the thursday afternoon commute. and if you're trying to head from the east bay into the city, it looks like you should b okay right now experience the sweeping drama of manon, where opulence brings consequence in a

so we're not out of the woods in southern california yet. and there's a high wind warning that's for diego county, san bernardino counties as well. so across much of southern california, these winds are a big factor coming closer to home. my goodness gracious. it's beautiful. and our temperatures today were as many as 10 degrees warmer than normal. that would be santa rosa at 67 degrees. looking for raindrops, neri and rain drop in our forecast all the way through next week. and then the climate prediction center. it has actually not true. the 16th of the month when we see any raindrops that keeps us dry with temperatures and the and precipitation drier than normal. in fact, toward the end of the month not even see raindrops. so let me just show you very quickly numbers in the 60's. pretty much everywhere. tomorrow like today, but a little bit cooler. 65 millbrae as warm as 67 in palo alto and pushing toward 70 in a few of the south bay spots and a few of the north bay spots as well. a look ahead at the 10 day forecast is going to show us re

the deputies and california highway patrol are out there working 24/7. of these are being affected by the fires themselves even though they're out there in the front lines, some of them have lost their homes just like the people that they serve. so the wounded blue, of course is the national assistance and support organization for injured and disabled officers that helps injured and disabled cops. when we look at this catastrophe and join these stars like neil mccoy, we help the officers affect >> charles: neil, tell me about the musical instruments auctioned off. >> sometimes when we go to these organizations, promoter will find the way to get stuff to you. if there's numerous artists at festivals or events like in alabama, they were a bunch of stars there. we don't always know where they go but they tell some of the different ways they can use them. everybody there is always kind and takes time to sign them. but find out more about the wounded blue and this guitar for cops thing they're working with in particular, we just think it's pretty cool because

southern california. >> residents are still missing. fires continue to rage. still 0 containment on the biggest fires. the palisades fire and eaton fires for theresa talked to people as they're trying to survive this calamity. >> i heard a commotion and i walk outside. my neighbors are looking in the distance. >> and literally a mile from here on the hill. are just shy in flames. just been increasingly facing fear up close with this fire is like less than a mile away from you. so you have like all this, you know, concern coming your way. but you also like >> oakland, native and now southern california resident shane reagan talked with kron 4 news thursday about watching the sun set fire in the hollywood hills ignite. >> the power of the power went out across the street. little lose connectivity might lose light. so i need to pack a bag immediately. he said that it was all so surreal. reagan have been keeping a close eye on the neighboring palisades and eaton fires affecting friends. this. >> horrible succ

southern california dealing with a lot to right now.s check in with ktvu meteorologist rosemary oroczo for a look at your forecast here and down south as well. rosemary. >> yeah. sandra garcia, we'll start here in southern california where it is still very, very dry. and the winds are gusting at this time. over at the palisades fire, relative humidity is 20%. the winds are gusting to 15mph or so. but as we've been talking about since the beginning, this is just one reading. if you notice, within those hills, mountains, canyons, you can see the topography here. it's really hard to tell just how quick those gusts are coming through parts of those canyons, as well as in the mountains. relative humidity at the eaton fire 15% and expected to remain between 10 and 20% over the next couple of days. so critically dry right now. the gusts there reported to 20mph. i am seeing observations of anywhere from 40 to 60mph and a few isolated areas. so the winds are definitely out there for today. 50 to 60 mile per hour gusts expected. and then tomorrow

. >> governor of california, and maybe the mayor california. liz: we have details coming in this hour and we are cutting through the rhetoric coming to get to the bottom of accusations of reckless government negligence, and mismanagement by top democratic officials in california and the national weather service just put out his most serious morning ever today, that the fires could get worse because of those high santa ana winds and the only rg for slamming california democrat saying that the undercut head into la firefighting budget. in the box the basics of governing nothing proves that point more than the burning of an area now equal to the size of san francisco and california editorial candidate larry elder joins us and moments and larry had to evacuate from those fires were going to get a story and also the story tonight,. >> the reservoirs are complete people in reservoirs here in southern california that ms. information i don't think advantages trains any of a. >> we do know though if and reporting locally that that one reservoir the pali

it's a nuisance for southern california.is a huge threat for further growth of those fires down south. we are seeing those strong winds as well. but here in the bay little momentary com at the embarcadero, my last time i showed you this view, those flags were just pushing in that strong wind. we've already seen 50 mile per hour. plus gusts in areas like the east bay hills gusts right now anywhere between 20 to 30 miles per hour. we're definitely seeing high wind advisories in the north bay. wouldn't be surprised to see these expanded for

and we are hearing today from tech companies both in southern california and northern california, using ai and drones to detect flare ups and then to try to reach the fires as quickly as possible. they're among the newest weapons in the wildfire fight drones, bringing necessary equipment into a fire zone and getting closer to flames than humans would be able to safely. drones can also map the firefight, along with satellites dubbed eyes in the sky by nasa, especially with the satellites that measure the whole planet and can observe the whole planet over long periods of time. some of the folks here at ames are using the suborbital assets to study more closely and with better spatial resolution. the fires. the tech is often pointed towards flames by companies like annette, based in los angeles, fighting fires with ai powered hardware and software that can detect smoke from massive distances and determine whether it's a threat. so as soon as we've identified with the sensor, there's something going on, there's heat. they can take an image and send that image confirmation right away to the

trump proof in california they have a california proof california that is a debate that trump will have and he's in the driver seat and good for america and good for california. stuart: you sometimes handle cultural issues and you can handle one today. meta ceo mark zuckerberg defended masculinity and corporate culture, watch this. >> it's one thing to say we want to be welcoming and make a good environment for everyone and i think it is another to say that masculinity is bad. i think we swung culturally to that part of the spectrum. having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more and has its own merits that are really positive. >> you love this story. people are suspicious about whether mark zuckerberg means it or not. my view let the guy show was if he needs it. he's done good things that meta. here's what i agree on masculinity. right now in america too often the word toxic gets attached to masculinity we don't talk about masculinity as such what do men do in the workplace what behaviors characterize maybe more risk taking indirect and try things out whether then talk abou

to southern california.r gavin newsom has been pushing to spend $20 billion on what's called the delta tunnel project. it would span 45 miles under delta marshes near sacramento and supporters say it would help move water to storage areas and avoid waste. now opponents say it would degrade water quality and harm wildlife. santa clara valley water district will consider contributing more than $9 million towards planning for the project. they meet at 1:00 this afternoon. >>> well, staying in the south bay right now. santa clara county has finalized a deal to buy regional medical center in east san jose for $115 million. now starting april 1st, the county will take over operations adding the hospital to the santa clara valley health care system. so the agreement will allow the hospital to continue to provide life-saving trauma care and regional medical center was going to shut down the hospital's trauma center last summer but downgraded it instead and county supervisors say they look forward to restoring lost s

it's windy here in northern california as well as in southern california. so we're hoping those santa ana winds do not whip up. yeah, it's here. you can see the map showing you where all the fires are burning. the 3 biggest one. >> pretty evident there. the palisades fire, the first fire and the eaton fire palisades is the biggest 23,000 acres burned so far, containment still only at about 14% firefighters or making better progress when it comes to the eaton fire. that fire is now. 33% contained to a 3rd of the way contained. it is about 14,000 acres in size and then the hurst fire, the smallest of the 3 of about 300 firefighters on the scene of that one. it's 89% contained and that's a jump of new number this morning about 800 acres have burned there. the death toll, though, from the wildfires, as daryn mentioned, 24 and potentially growing. we know rescuers and investigators have been using dogs to try to sift through the rubble and find out if anybody else has been falling victim to these fires have a bay area continues to help sending crews as half of c
