there's a new sheriff in town, so to speak, and they better think twice about it. >> now, measure e, which would create a task force to recommend which city commissions are cut by february of 2026. it is also leading in the vote. >> we start with breaking news. days before it was set to end, the chp surge in oakland has been extended. how the decision is tied to two major recall elections, and why the governor says it is so important to keep the expanded law enforcement presence in place. >> plus, being mayor of the city has been the absolute honor of my life. but this office is also bigger than just one person. >> mayor london breed concedes the election to newcomer daniel lowry. what to expect from the first time politician, then, can be canceled by president trump. >> and i have no doubt that he

will cancel the daca program. >> undocumented immigrants and their supporters in the bay area and beyond worried about what a change in the white house could mean for their ability to stay in this country. what california leaders say about threats of mass deportation from ktvu. >> fox two news this is mornings on two. good morning. >> we are so glad you're here. i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning, i'm dave clark. >> welcome to friday. it's november 8th and welcome to gasia mikaelian. good to be here with you. >> let's let's have a good day, a good friday. >> some sunshine to steve paulson has your forecast as we begin friday. >> level three on the heaters. their gas heaters blowing this way and on the seat to there you go. all right. it's a cold morning but it is sunny. it will be nice today then changes over the weekend. santa rosa, 35, livermore 39, and palo alto on the stanford campus at 38. that's too cold to go to class. a lot of change on the way that will be starting tomorrow with that system. and then more so sunday, monday. but today your friday looks good. clear. cold morning. sunny and nice. still a

little hint of an offshore breeze, but really not much. and temperatures near average to above 60s and low 70s. all right. sounds here. it's all about fremont 680 and the second mission exit. correct. >> exactly. and the good news there, steve, they ended up being able to move these cars because no one was injured. but there's still a little bit of a backup because they're on the shoulder now. however, there's a little bit of a backup past the scene, but considering what it could have been when at one point they did close all the lanes for a while to get everything off the freeway, and there was a backup for about a mile. but then when they opened up the lanes, it went away almost immediately. that's good news. bay bridge backed up all the way out to just before the maze metering lights are on and this morning, if you are driving on interstate 880 or 580 in oakland, those are off to a pretty good start right now. 702 let's get back to the desk. >> okay, sal, we have some breaking news this morning. governor gavin newsom's office just announced that california highway patrol support in oakland is here to stay. the chp

has increased enforcement. serge was set to end this week, but ktvu is. james torres is in oakland now to tell us what's expected to happen next. good morning james. >> good morning to you dave. well, these are details coming down to us from the governor's office this morning. the chp officer surge will remain in oakland and in alameda county until at least the end of the year. that all started earlier this year in february. the governor's office says that's simply because the program has been successful since its launch in february. he says officers arrested more than 1200 people, recovered more than 2200 stolen cars and more than 120 illegal guns that operation back in february, according to the governor's office, was the result of some really unusually high spikes in violent crime in alameda county from last year. the state ramped up the efforts around july and now will keep it around until the end of the yea,

according to the mayor's office in oakland. there have been zero homicides in the town for at least seven weeks. in a statement, governor newsom also acknowledged the recall efforts against mayor xiang tao and district attorney pamela price. both elections seemingly headed toward removing both leaders from office. the governor, in a statement, said families should still feel safe during these leadership transitions. we're live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you james. right across the bay there will soon be a big change in the san francisco mayor's office. political outsider daniel lurie has defeated incumbent mayor london breed, set to make his first public comments later this morning. ktvu andre senior in studio here with mayor breed's concession speech. andre and reaction from san francisco voters. >> well, good morning to you, garcia. the latest batch of votes released early yesterday evening showed lurie with a commanding lead over incumbent london breed and the race for san francisco mayor. those updated numbers followed 14 rounds of ranked choice voting. london breed has conceded the

race for san francisco mayor. it came just a few hours after the latest numbers were released. lurie is expected to host a news conference later this morning. now on election night, breed was highly critical of the amount of money the wealthy philanthropist spent on his campaign to replace her, but breed was upbeat and gracious in her defeat during her concession speech last night. >> the city is on the rise, but this office is also bigger than just one person. i'm not sure what the what the difference was, but ultimately this is an incredible city and what we want to make sure that we do in this transition is provide the level of support necessary. >> mayor elect lurie released this statement last night. it read, quote, i am deeply grateful to my incredible family campaign team and every san franciscan who voted for accountability, service and change no matter who you supported in this election, we stand united in the fight for san francisco's future and a safer, more affordable city for all. end quote. we spoke to

voters. this is what they told us about voting for lurie. >> what made you vote for him? >> just his policies. he's just he has some new ideas for the city of san francisco. san francisco needs help. it wasn't like there was one candidate that i was so excited about. >> so i am happy and excited to see what he does. >> i guess lurie has no past government experience. he spent the past 15 years as the executive of the san francisco nonprofit group that he founded, called the tipping point. it's focused on fighting poverty and other problems in san francisco. the 47 year old is probably best known as one of the heirs to the levi strauss jeans fortune company. fortune news conference is scheduled to take place at 11:00 this morning. it will be his first public public remarks since mayor breed conceded the race will have it for you. coming up at noon. garcia. >> andre. thank you. california's governor and attorney general say they are ready to lead a blue state political fight against president elect donald trump. attorney general rob bonta held a news conference in san francisco to outline the state's plan. ag bonta spoke moments

after governor newsom called a special legislative session for next month. he wants california lawmakers to increase money for legal fights against the white house. >> we lived through trump 1.0. we know what he's capable of. we know what plans he has in store. the silver lining. is just that we know. >> attorney general bonta says he's now working with attorneys general from other democrat majority states to respond to president elect trump's agenda. it says the group is building on its experience of mr. trump's first four years in office, full frontal attacks on reproductive freedom, the full frontal attacks on our immigrants, the full frontal attacks on our environment, on our civil rights, on the rule of law. in response to president elect trump's victory. governor newsom said, the freedoms we hold dear in california are under attack, and we will not sit idle.

california has faced this challenge before and we know how to respond. >> our time now. 707 governor newsom's office says one of the important parts of the special session is protecting immigrant families. after president elect trump threatened mass deportations. because of that, some of the bay area's migrant community are very nervous. immigration activists are preparing for a long four year term, with trump and bay area police departments are sending messages reassuring migrants they will not be targeted. >> are people who are already afraid and they're already holding up in their houses and don't even want to go out onto the streets. >> everyone in our community, regardless of nationality, regardless of socioeconomic status, regardless of immigration status, our role is to serve the entire community and ensure public safety for all the california is a sanctuary state, but federal agencies can

still go after immigrants if they have a reason to believe someone is undocumented. >> those in america's lgbtq community and their supporters are also expressing serious concern about president elect donald trump's return to the white house. they say they're worried they could lose many of their constitutional rights during a second trump administration, even before the president elect takes any action, one mental health expert says his election has already taken a devastating emotional toll on the lgbtq community. >> i'm really anticipating kind of one of the biggest mental health crises our population has seen in decades. i've seen people, you know, have a panic attacks almost daily. >> president elect trump has promised to reinstate a ban on military service for transgender people. he's also vowing to block transition related care for minors across the country. it's currently legal here in our state. californians also just voted in favor of proposition three to enshrine gay marriage in our state constitution. >> time now. 709 and this

morning we do have a look at the commute where things are better than they were monday through thursday, but we still have some slowdowns. this is a look at a 24 minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the maze. for this time of the morning. that's actually very good. no problems at the bay bridge, although this is the peak, it has been backed up to about the middle of the parking lot. but i do see flashing lights and some sort of lane blockage in the carpool lane. it's hard to see. so i will put i put it here and it looks like whatever it is, it might be moving you see you see the lights coming here. so it was causing a little bit of a backup at the toll plaza. this whole thing is about about a 15 to 20 minute delay. and here they come. they're getting whatever it was off the road here, along with chp help. now at 70. let's go back to the desk. all right. >> well, a vote today by state regulators could affect the price you pay at the gasoline pump. we're going to break down that vote that's happening in

just a couple of hours and tell you why. it's designed to help air quality. >> and you may be wondering why you're still getting spam texts centered on the election, even though voting has ended. what

riots broke out between israeli and pro-palestinian soccer fans in the netherlands. police in

amsterdam say at least five people were sent to hospitals after a match between an israeli and dutch soccer teams. now, dutch and israeli officials have denounced the attacks as anti-semitic. the video showed israeli fans chanting anti-arab slogans in the streets. before that soccer game. here at home, the city of antioch is preparing to get a new mayor. voters have elected retired city manager ron bernal, and he has declared victory in the mayor's election, while incumbent mayor lamar hernandez thorpe has conceded for now, told ktvu one of his first goals as mayor is dealing with the city's troubled police department and bringing in a permanent police chief and fluoride could be taken out of public water systems in the u.s. under the incoming trump administration. that's according to one of president elect trump's advisers, robert f

kennedy jr. he made those comments in an interview on npr. according to the cdc. fluoride strengthens teeth and also reduces cavities. >> happening today, california regulators are set to vote on a proposal that could have a major impact on gas prices statewide. they'll vote on a plan to impose tough new regulations on the oil industry in an effort to reduce air pollution in california. some experts predict this change to the low carbon fuel standard could increase prices at the pump by as much as $0.65 a gallon. >> well, political spam text messages are still buzzing on phones all around, even though the election is over. now, while they may not be from trump or harris, these new scam text messages are coming from organizations asking you to sign petitions and other things. special interest groups, political action committees, even cyber criminals are still reaching out over text message messages, hoping the receiver of it will engage them. the experts

say these groups often get your number through voter registration records, marketing companies, data brokers and leaks from data just about all of us have had our cell phone, email address and name leaked out or put into a data set in one way, shape or form. >> so we shouldn't be surprised at all when we get these types of messages. even if you tell them to stop and they're required to stop and they are going to stop, nothing prevents them from selling that information to another party. who will use it for the same exact reason. >> now, the advice from the experts is never reply to those text messages. instead, report them as spam and then block the number. and while spam texts will never go away completely, the frequency is expected to slow down in the coming weeks and months. all right, our time is 716. today is a big day for bay area fans of winter sports, right? >> today, the first tahoe ski resort opens for the season, just under two hours here.

skiers and boarders will hit the slopes at mount rose for the first time this season. that resort's been making snow. to add to what's been coming from mother nature. mount rose is lucky, has the highest base elevation of the tahoe resorts at more than 8200ft. other sierra ski resorts will be open in the coming weeks. mammoth mountain in the central sierra opens next friday. then in two weeks on november 22nd, heavenly north star boreal and sugar bowl will open. palisades tahoe opens the day before thanksgiving. sierra tahoe. the day after kirkwood is set to open friday, december 6th. >> and as the sierra gets ready for the snowy season, there's a new program you need to know about. it's aimed at keeping winter recreation affordable while funding a lake conservation effort. it's called the plates for powder program. it's available to california and nevada residents who are renewing or buying new license plates. the purchase of the plate will include one ticket, a two day pass, or a season pass to one of the 11 tahoe resorts. >> license plate program is

really important to the health of lake tahoe in california. the money goes to the tahoe conservancy and they spend it on watershed restoration projects, things that are going to help the lake. clarity. a lot of trails, hiking and biking trails. so it's really going to help protect the lake and the things that people love to do in lake tahoe. >> now, more than 96% of the proceeds generated by license plate sales and renewals go directly to projects aimed at protecting lake tahoe. you can get a lake tahoe license plate through april first. >> time is 718. let's swing out to the traffic center and see what sal is keeping an eye on. hi, sal. >> good morning garcia. good morning dave. i think it's a good morning out there for the most part. even though you are going to see slow traffic. it is going to be better. and i think a lot of people have counted on that. now, there is slowing at the richmond bridge. i don't see anything on the csp list, but it does look a little slower than i'm used to seeing it on a friday. so we'll get to the bottom of that and i'll check that out for you. right now we

do see that traffic at the bay bridge is also slowing down. it was slower even just ten minutes ago when i did my last report. and now it looks like it's getting better. so sometimes what happens is you have a stalled vehicle or something like that happens. they get it out of the way and on a friday things get better. i do see that traffic is okay on interstate 880 and 580. there have been no major issues here. and if you're driving on southbound 880 at whipple, there's now a new crash. this one just came in just a few minutes ago. so we're going to see what happened here. but it looks like it is blocking at least one lane. and oh, it looks like they have just issued a sig alert for this. so unfortunately now that means it's going to be there for a while. we'll follow up. 719. let's bring steve back in. whoa whoa whoa. >> somebody just turned on the tv. that was where whipple. >> yeah. southbound at whipple. they just called for a sig alert. southbound 880 north of whipple. two lanes and the carpool lanes are blocked. oh, and that's going to mess up that

commute. we'll keep an eye on it. >> thank you. sal. all right. well, it's clear, but it's darn cold out there, man. penngrove down to 33. i know there's some upper 20s and low 30s also in lake county. thank you. chloe. i did see your info. boulder creek. 34 windsor. 35 novato. 36 morgan hill. 36 chris henry. observer. their coldest morning of the season. lafayette 37, menlo park, 38. and dublin, even at 38. cold degrees. i cannot emphasize strongly enough i have it on good authority. if you have a son or daughter at the university of colorado, it is officially a snow day. there's too much snow there, so you can't go to class. how about that? new mexico has had a lot of snow as well. so the front range. this is just an absolutely textbook winter system that's going through. and they go through northern new mexico, texas panhandle. that sets the stage for some big snows around denver. and also up into boulder. and good news for the ski season there in the rockies, the low moving out that was the source of our wind. now that it's too far away, the wind

speeds have relaxed. 30s and 40s on the temps. half moon bay is down. i think 20 degrees from yesterday at this time. boulder creek, 33 felton and 34. scotts valley's in there. hollister's in there. gilroy san martin and santa clara has joined the party there at 39 cold degrees. 18 in truckee, 20 in south lake tahoe. alturas, 21 in reno at 26. changes on the way. i think back, in fact, i think our entire pattern is changing here. it will be a more show than go as we head into saturday and sunday, but a lot of cloud cover on the way. today looks good. lots of sunshine, but i think the breeze turns onshore and the clouds roll in on the weekend. and it looks to me like i would if you work outside or you just need to know, maybe put your winter garden in. it will help on monday because i think we'll get some rain there. keep on the sunny side though for today. clear and cold in the morning, but sunny and nice in the afternoon. 60s. low seconds. by tomorrow we start to cool it down and we really cool it down going into sunday. and i think rain arrives on monday. you guys. >> steve. thank you. time now is

721. coming up, racist text messages landing on the phones of men, women and children all across the country. who is being targeted and what to do if you get one? also, why the fbi is now involved and more than 100 homes and buildings have been destroyed by a wildfire in southern california. >> that raging fire sweeping through a town. we have the latest on the destruction left behind, and we'll tell you if firefighters are making progress getting the mountain fire under l

evacuated as a wind driven wildfire burns through several communities. it's called the mountain fire in ventura county. it has already destroyed 132 structures and homes. 88 others have been damaged. more than 20,000 acres have burned. it's only 5% contained. cal fire says ten people have been hurt, most of them suffering from smoke inhalation or other non-life threatening injuries. >> nobody was told to evacuate. i had to literally rip them from the house and say, get out of the house screaming and yelling and get everybody out. all the neighbors that could hear me yelling got out, got out. >> have a phone call or a message that said to evacuate. and so then i looked and i saw where the fire had started, but the smoke was just pouring into the backyard. >> now, the contra costa county fire protection district has sent some of its firefighters down there to help battle those flames. >> scientists at ucla have a grim prediction about the future

of california's water supply. they say the number of severe droughts in the western u.s. will increase dramatically in the years ahead due to climate change. historic droughts have already had a devastating impact on california in recent years, causing the water levels in the state's reservoirs to plummet. the last major reservoir built in california was 46 years ago. now to an update on the legal battle over the renaming of the airport in oakland. san francisco officials are asking a judge to issue a temporary injunction to immediately stop the airport from using the name san francisco bay oakland international airport. now, if the injunction is granted, the port of oakland would need to remove all physical and digital materials with that new name until a final decision is made in the lawsuit. >> san francisco has been operating for almost a century, has used san francisco international airport or san francisco airport for most of that history. the first date of use of our trademark was 1954, and we've had the trademarks for so long that they're considered uncontestable in federal law.

>> san francisco city attorney david chu said the lawsuit over the broader issue will continue regardless of the ruling. a judge says he'll submit a written decision on the injunction in the next few weeks. now, the port of oakland says it is confident it will win the case, saying bay area residents and visitors alike will have better flying choices when there is widespread industry and consumer recognition that okay is located on the san francisco bay and serves the bay area region, too. >> time now 727. the expanded presence of the chp in the east bay will continue. the reason governor newsom decided to extend the continuing surge operation by law enforcement. >> many are puzzled over new exit polling that shows president elect trump's campaign made great gains with latino voters, even after he and his supporters made denigrating comments about that group. but political experts s l inos

going away. i'll tell you why. an adviser to president elect donald trump says the new trump administration will take the fluoride out of drinking water. and a group of parents in the south bay are rallying against

plans to close school campuses. the proposed budget cuts that they are pushing back against in san jose. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm gasia mikaelian. it is friday november 8th i know we don't want to jump ahead to the weekend steve paulson but your information could help us make our plans a little better. >> well, it will be different than what we've had, that's for sure. there will be a lot more clouds on the way here, and it will be cooler compared to the last few days we've had some pretty warm temperatures. we'll start though, up in napa. philip price, they're always sending me nice pictures from napa. morning, mr. p, since we have a little weather coming. thought i'd brighten the morning with balloons over napa. balloons. thank you philip. appreciate that. that's a little cold up there in that basket. blue 35, santa rosa, 38, palo alto. a lot of 30s this morning. north to south. changes on the way. and right there, those clouds will be moving over garcia's house and mine and dave's this weekend. and yours as well. so a

clear cold morning. finally a friday forecast and today will be sunny. looks nice, but changes on the way for the weekend. i think rain arrives monday, so one more day of sunshine and upper 60s and low 70s. all right. so here's. 731 we solved one issue. now i think we have to go to another one that's off of whipple avenue. >> that's correct steve. southbound 880 at whipple. there is a crash. that's blocking several lanes here. a couple of lanes blocked. traffic is backed up into hayward. the only good thing is today is friday, and we don't have the volume that we normally do. so this is one of those things where if they were to clear it, they might be able to, you know, make a better commute. it's an overturned pickup truck. and there are injuries in this crash on 880 south coming out of hayward. i will say some of the other commutes are getting better. the bay bridge is improving. we had something briefly on the upper deck, but that's gone and traffic is improving. now on the way to san francisco. 732. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you. sal. new this

morning. the governor's office is extending a chp law enforcement surge in oakland that was set to end this week. the governor says those extra chp officers in oakland have made a difference. led to nearly 1200 arrests and the recovery of more than 2200 stolen vehicles since february. the governor also says extra state prosecutors will also remain in alameda county to help with court cases connected to the arrests. well, there could be a big change coming to what's in the nation's drinking water if one of president elect trump's advisers gets his way. robert f kennedy jr expected to have a role in the new administration. among his recommendations to remove fluoride from the water supply. our ally rasmussen studio to explain that, kennedy says plans to do that ally, are already underway. >> gasia, in an interview in just the past 24 hours, robert f kennedy jr told npr that president trump's first week in office he will recommend removing fluoride from the country's drinking water. it's something kennedy wrote about in a post on x over the weekend, even before the election, saying, quote, on january 20th, the trump white house will advise all u.s. water systems to

remove fluoride from public water. kennedy then goes on in that post to list some of what he believes are the health concerns associated with the use of fluoride. so what is fluoride, and are there any truth to those claims? fluoride is a mineral added to drinking water to help strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. the american dental association says it's crucial for people who don't have access to regular dental care, and that it prevents about 25% of tooth decay over a person's lifetime, the centers for disease control says. adding fluoride to water has been one of the great public health achievements of the 20th century. but recent studies and even a federal court ruling in san francisco have called into question whether the benefits outweigh the risks. a federal obama appointed judge in san francisco just last month ruled that the federal government needs to reevaluate and lower the amount of fluoride it allows in water. following several studies that found lower iqs in children who had too much exposure to fluoride. so how much is too much? well, since

2015, the federal government has recommended no more than 0.7mg of fluoride per liter of water. fluoride has been part of the u.s. drinking water supply since 1945, but local water districts have control over how much is added. the bay area's water districts have the information listed on their websites and will have that information compiled and posted on our website this morning at ktvu.com. dave, back to you. >> okay, ali thank you. time now 734. a new exit poll is out from this week's elections, showing that hispanic men preferred donald trump with 54% supporting trump. that is 18% higher than in 2020, when most hispanic men supported president biden. now, one uc berkeley political science professor told ktvu, it's important to understand that latino voters are a very diverse group, and despite the rough rhetoric of the trump campaign about puerto rico and immigration, most latinos voters based their vote on basic living

concerns. >> the economy, you know, safety, neighborhoods, housing especially. right. so inflation and affordable housing, those are the two things people said over and over. just the difficulty of buying groceries and the difficulty of making rent. >> now, some latinos have been strong opponents of abortion rights. that was a big election issue for democrats and also affecting the latino vote. the view change among some of the younger generations. >> 90% roughly of latino voters in the united states are u.s. born and so they are sometimes 2 or 3 generations away from the immigration experience. and so it won't necessarily resonate with them as an issue in the same way that it would with the with the naturalized latino or with an immigrant latino voter. >> in the end, the experts say, to sway key demographics moving forward, both political parties have to engage with people about the things they care about day to day. >> the fbi and other agencies are investigating racist text

messages being sent to black people, including children, nationwide. officials in a number of states, including california, say residents have reported getting a message that says the recipient must report to work at a plantation. it's not clear who is behind the text messages, and there is no comprehensive list of who has received them. but many high school and college students were included. >> see the text message around 821 saying that i'm being sent to a plantation for slavery and that they were going to search me up and down, pick me up in a brown van, and send me to the nearest plantation to pick cotton. it's really it's really saddening to see this happening to our community, especially right after elections. >> authorities urge anyone who receives these texts to report them to local law enforcement. the agencies have also reached out to the fbi for help in the investigation. >> time now 737. the east bay city of antioch will soon have a

new mayor. ron burnell has declared victory after the current mayor, lamar hernandez thorpe, conceded the race. then, when we talked with burnell, he said one of his first goals as mayor will be to deal with the city's troubled police department and bring in a permanent police chief. he also says his focus is on public safety. >> a lot of people aren't very proud to call antioch home right now, whether they're a business or a resident. and i just want to, at the end of four years, have people say that, yeah. i'm proud. not even four years even even in the next year, people say, yeah, i'm proud to call antioch my home. >> the contra costa county will continue posting election updates every friday until the results are certified on december 5th. >> teachers, parents and children are trying to stop a south bay district from closing schools. save our schools. >> save our schools. >> demonstrators rallied in san jose to protest proposed cuts at the berryessa union school district. a budget committee is recommending closing three

schools to cover a $6 million deficit. >> when you see successful schools that are doing so well in scoring, when you see them ranked for closure, it really makes you wonder how effective and successful was this committee. >> we are holding this school district accountable for the decisions they have made. they have no governance. they have no oversight. they don't talk to u. >> the school district issued a response that says, in part, unfortunately, like countless public school districts across the bay area, the berryessa union school district has experienced a significant decline in enrollment over the past decade. school closures are an action of last resort that we take very seriously. the district says no final decisions have been made. the board of trustees will review the committee's findings next month. >> all right, garcia, time 7.39. we've had commute problems this morning. so what's the latest on what's happening on the roads? >> well, things have improved at the bay bridge. we had an earlier minor crash on the bridge. it cleared really

quickly. there was a big backup for a minute or not for a minute, literally. but what seemed like a minute, and now it's gone and traffic is getting better. this is a look at the commute here on interstate 880 that looks okay. southbound 880 at whipple. they're still clearing an injury crash overturned pickup truck. the backup isn't as big as i thought, and that's good news sometimes on fridays. whatever happens, just not really long. and that's good. it is a long backup, though, considering that if that crash wasn't there, i think you'd be in good shape. but we'll keep an eye on it for you. 7.39 let's go back to the desk. >> sal. thank you. the 40 niners are coming off a bye week with a few big names returning to the roster. the two big factors the team hoping wil

incumbent mayor, london breed in san francisco will speak publicly for the first time today. mayor breed conceded to philanthropist daniel lurie last night. lurie campaigned on reducing homelessness and drug use on the streets. today, the california air resources board could approve a change to our state's low carbon fuel standard that could impact gas prices. it would include speeding up the timeline for using more biofuels. an advocacy group for gas stations and fuel transportation says the changes would drive up fuel costs and

reduce supply without delivering any meaningful climate benefit to california consumers. and california's top leaders are pledging to lead the political fight against president elect donald trump. governor newsom has already called for a special session of the state legislature to increase money for legal fights against the new administration. attorney general rob bonta says he's prepared to lead more lawsuits against white house executive action that violates california or federal law. >> gasia. time. 743. economists are talking about a second donald trump term in the white house. and there are some concerns. >> pam cook has that and a lot going on in a friday edition of dollars and cents. yeah. >> keeping an eye on some tech stocks today. the ev makers will talk about tesla in a second. first, the other electric car maker based here in the bay area. lucid, based in newark, reports an increase in production and deliveries for the quarter. however, the company is also reporting losing money in every car it makes. ceo promising things are turning around, though, and that stock headed higher when the opening

bell rang. this morning. ringing the opening bell this morning, robertson ryan is a veteran owned broker dealer there celebrating veterans day, which is officially monday, and on becoming a member of the new york stock exchange this year. as we take you live to the new york stock exchange now, and the numbers just coming in. tesla hits 1 trillion market cap as that. stock rallies since the trump election. there's a live look at the dow jones up 282 points. a little more than half of a percent. the s&p 500 and the nasdaq are up as well this morning. just wanted to get the latest numbers. actually the nasdaq now turned negative a little bit at this hour. the federal reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter point as expected. however, with the new president elect set to take office in january. economists are concerned many are now looking at the impact the election of donald trump could have on the additional interest rate cuts. most say trump's

plans to impose huge tariffs would likely aggravate inflation, requiring the fed to suspend rate cuts after its december meeting because of the prospect of increased tariffs. >> because of the prospect of future tax cuts for example. financial markets now think that future interest rates will be higher than they thought six months ago. >> now, of course, higher interest rates will certainly impact the housing market for potential buyers and sellers. and people hoping to refinance. it also makes it very difficult for people to get out of debt, particularly credit card debt. amazon is testing a new grocery store format that blends its broad selection of online goods with in-person shopping. amazon says the goal is to create one stop shopping for a wide range of products. the new stores will serve as a fulfillment network for its whole foods and amazon fresh stores. the wall street

this sunday morning. >> you can see the game right here with us on ktvu fox two. >> all right, before we get to that, we have to go to work and school and doctor's appointment. et cetera. so what are you watching in the traffic center? >> well, yeah. gasia and dave, union city southbound, 880 at whipple. they're clearing a crash, a pickup truck overturned. there were some serious injuries here, and that's why it's taking them a little longer. the backup is stretching out almost to 238. but on, this was thursday, we might be backed up into oakland. that's how serious the crash was. but the volume is lighter. you will be wading through some slow traffic. they haven't cleared it yet. some cars are getting by. this is a look at highway four. a little slow traffic there. 680 has some slowing through walnut creek and the south bay. the big move i just made to the south bay. there. that looks okay. bay bridge is recovering. we had an earlier crash for just a few moments on the bridge that's been gone, and now things are much better. 748. let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. south. >> thank you sir. we will start here with our good friend. just

me, rob out in clayton, who asks kind of a pertinent question. so with the colorado snows, are you missing your denver days with forecasts like that? yes. i was not a big severe fan, but i loved what's called forecasting snow. and those are what we called snowbirds. there is no greater challenge than trying to figure out snowfall totals from denver international to denver to boulder and this is just a fantastic setup for them. what happens is you get these lows coming into colorado or new mexico. the flow around these taps into moisture coming out of the out of the panhandle. and then does this. and remember now their elevation goes from about 5000, 6000, 7000 to 8000 really fast. and you can just funnel up on the front range tremendous amounts of snow. so yes, i do shout out to everyone there in clayton. so. nice. friday will give way to a cooler weekend and a lot of clouds. and i think we get rain on monday. pengrove,

boulder creek, windsor, novato, morgan hill, lafayette, menlo park and dublin all between 33 and 38 cold degrees. this morning. there goes the low. it now looks like it's almost into the panhandle, so it's far enough away. now we don't have to worry about any wind. 30s on the temps 40s. few 50s, but mainly 30s and 40s. a lot of 20s and 30s. up into lake county. upper lake 32. i know there's a couple upper 20s there. healdsburg 35. there's windsor 36. novato. fairfax also sonoma in there. so quite cold for many teens up in the mountains. 20 now for south lake tahoe, 18 in truckee, 26 in reno. you can see the systems to the left. that's the first of what could be many. i think that will start to make some kind of an impact. beginning saturday. more likely sunday, monday. today. sunshine. nice. and then we'll get more clouds. much cooler on the weekend. it looks like rain to me on monday. the european forecast model, what's called the icon of all brought in some rain. some are a little early on monday, some are a little later, but i think it's a lot of the

teleconnections are on our side for rain showing up at least starting next week, and i think that will happen. keep it on the sunny side though. today sunny and nice. a little bit of a breeze, but might even be west wind for some 6070 on those temps. changes start saturday. bigger changes sunday monday day. >> all right steve thank you. time now 750. a mixed outlook for what's next for silicon valley under a second donald trump administration. new at 8:00. the possible challenges for foreign workers and why some say the future for big tech looks bright. and in the east bay, we expect another vote update today in the recall elections. what would happen if the results hold? and both pamela price and xiang tao were recalled from office?

another batch of vote ballots in alameda county, which means we could be closer to officially finding out if voters will recall oakland mayor shang tao. in alameda county, district attorney pamela price. now, so far, the votes are in favor of removing both leaders. the yes vote around 65% in both races. the alameda county board of supervisors will have to appoint a replacement for district attorney price if that vote holds. supporters of the recall campaign tell us they trust the

board will pick the right person. >> hopefully, through this whole 18 month process, they was paying attention to what people really want. the system is never going to be perfect, but we want them to know that. i mean, as long as you work at it, we're willing to work with you. >> now, if mayor shang tao is removed from office, oakland city council president nikki fortunato. fortunato bass is expected to become the interim mayor until an election can be scheduled. well, moves are underway in san jose to replace a former san jose city council member now in jail, facing charges of rape. omar torres resigned on monday and was arrested. the same day on allegations that he raped a relative when the victim was a child. well, now the city council can either appoint a successor or hold a special election for his seat in district three, representing downtown japantown and other neighborhoods. already, several people have come forward as potential candidates for a

special election. >> somebody who's 100% behind d three because in the past there have been folks who have used d three as a platform to get to the next job. and lots of times. d three has been left behind. >> i've been very active especially in downtown and other parts of d three. so i think i have a lot to contribute. my enthusiasm for improving san jose has not diminished. >> san jose mayor matt mehan says he supports holding a special election. however, opponents say that costs the city a lot of money and would leave the seat empty for months. the san jose city council will take up the issue when it meets on november 19th. also in san jose, the family of a man who police say was intentionally hit and killed by a car is speaking out. 32 year old leroy thomas of santa clara, was hit early monday morning in san jose. police say he was pinned beneath a minivan and was pronounced

dead at the scene. the driver, edward herrera, was later arrested and charged with murder. investigators say the men knew each other and thomas was a father of two. >> thanksgiving and christmas aren't going to be the same. my brother was the life of holidays. we'd be sitting there having supper, you know, like any traditional family, having thanksgiving dinner, and he'd be cracking jokes. he was a joke. he would crack jokes all the time. was a big, goofy person. and that's something that was stripped of us. our smile. our laugh. our our hearts aren't going to be the same after this. >> now, the family of leroy thomas says they are making funeral arrangements now, and they've set up a gofundme page to help pay the funeral costs. the money that is left over will be used to create a trust fund for his two children that we have posted a link to that on our ktvu website. ktvu.com. and

the campaign starts today to honor the pedestrians killed in san francisco in traffic crashes over the past ten years. the pedestrian safety group walk sf will begin hanging memorial signs at 317 deadly crash locations around the city. the group will also paint 317 pairs of shoes as part of a temporary memorial display at city hall. the walk has reports on. on average, 30 people are killed every year in traffic crashes in san francisco. 500 more people are severely injured. and the california highway patrol is getting $2 million to crack down on sideshows. the money is coming from a grant with the state's office of traffic safety. that grant will go towards a public awareness campaign and to increase in patrols would also help the chp team up with local organizations. now, since

february, the chp has made more than 1000 arrests. they've seized 100 illegal guns and recovered 2000 stolen vehicles just in the east bay alone. our time is 758. voters up in south lake tahoe rejected a controversial law that would have created a tax on homes that are unoccupied for more than half the year. election results showed nearly three quarters of the voters said no to that measure. supporters say the tax would raise millions of dollars to help the area deal with housing crisis. critics argue though the measure was unfair and that it targeted some property owners who had several homes. >> this is an incredible city and what we want to make sure that we do in this transition is provide the level of support necessary. >> mayor london breed, acknowledging she will not serve another term in office. what the mayor elect is saying about winning the election and when he's finally expected to speak

publicly about his campaign victory. then, across the bay, the chp is not going anywhere. that surge in oakland still sticking around to crack down on crime. the new development coming just days before it was supposed to end. >> plus this we will do everything in our power and use the full authority of the office to defend you, to protect you and the legal fight to the state of california is preparing for ahead of president elect trump's move back into the white house. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. look live across san francisco this morning from our sutro tower camera. and the sun is starting to come out. the question is, what's the rest of your day going to be looking like? we're going to find out. thank you for joining us. i'm andre senior. >> good morning i'm gasia mikaelian. it's friday, november 8th. let's plan today. and also look ahead just a little bit by running down and saying good morning to steve paulson again. >> garcia should i join you there? i like the look, young

don't have the traditional backup, but there is a little bit of a backup there. 580 is a better bet. 801 let's get back to the headlines and new this morning, governor newsom's office announced california highway patrol support in oakland is here to stay. >> chp has increased enforcement surge was set to end this week. >> ktvu james torres live in oakland now explaining what's expected to happen next in this james. >> yeah, these details just coming to us from the governor's office this morning. we are now learning that the chp surge that has been in oakland since february will remain in the area until at least the end of the year. governor newsom says that's simply because the program has been working pretty well. they offered some numbers of what this has looked like since february. he says officers arrested more than 1200 people, recovered more than 2200 stolen cars and more than 120 illegal guns. that operation started in february but ramped up in july, and according to the governor's office, that was because of an unusually high spike in violent crime in alameda county last year. the state ramped up those

efforts midyear and will keep it around until the end of this year, according to the mayor's office. here in oakland, there have been zero homicides in the town for at least seven weeks. in a statement, governor newsom also acknowledged the recall efforts against mayor shengtao and district attorney pamela price. both elections seemingly headed toward removing both leaders from office. the governor says families should still feel safe during these leadership transitions. of course, we're reaching out to those oakland leaders, the governor's office, as well. once we have more information, more specifics on these surges, we will bring that to you. for now, we're live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. james, california's governor and attorney general say they're ready to lead a blue state political fight against president elect trump. attorney general rob bonta held a news conference in san francisco to outline the state's plan ag. bonta spoke moments after governor newsom called for a special legislative session next month. >> we lived through trump 1.0. we know what he's capable of. we

know what plans he has in store. the silver lining is just that we know. >> attorney general bonta says he's now working with attorneys general from other democrat majority states to respond to president elect trump's agenda and wants california lawmakers to increase money for legal fights against the white house. >> full frontal attacks on reproductive freedom, the full frontal attacks on our immigrants, the full frontal attacks on our environment, on our civil rights, on the rule of law. >> in response to president elect trump's victory, governor newsom said, the freedoms we hold dear in california are under attack, and we will not sit idle. california's faced this challenge before and we know how to respond well. >> as we know, president elect trump has often been an outspoken critic of california, especially on issues of immigration. but some high tech experts say the second trump administration could provide a

big financial boost to silicon valley. they say trump may strongly support the tech industry as part of his goal to improve the overall u.s. economy. however, coming up in our second half hour, we'll hear from others who say a second trump administration could have a negative impact on big tech companies. >> governor newsom's office says one focus of the special session will be protecting immigrant families. after president elect trump threatened mass deportations. many in the bay area's migrant community are nervous. activists say they are preparing for a long four year term under president trump. some bay area police departments are sending out messages reassuring immigrants they won't be targeted. >> there are people who are already afraid and they're already holing up in their houses and don't even want to go out onto the streets. >> everyone in our community, regardless of nationality, regardless of socioeconomic status, regardless of immigration status, our role is to serve the entire community and ensure public safety for all. >> while california is a

sanctuary state, federal agencies can still target immigrants if they have reason to believe someone is undocumented. there will soon be a big change in the san francisco mayor's office. political outsider daniel lurie has defeated incumbent mayor london breed. he is set to make his first public comments later this morning. >> the latest batch of votes released early yesterday evening, show lurie, with a commanding lead over incumbent london breed in the race for san francisco mayor. those updated numbers followed 14 rounds of ranked choice voting. breed has conceded the race for san francisco mayor, and it came just a few hours after the latest numbers were released. he is expected to host a news conference later this morning on election night. breed was highly critical of the amount of money the wealthy philanthropist spent on his campaign to replace her. but breed was upbeat and gracious in her defeat during her concession speech last night. >> the city is on the rise, but this office is also bigger than just one person. i'm not sure what the what the difference was, but ultimately this is an

incredible city and what we want to make sure that we do in this transition is provide the level of support necessary. >> mayor elect lurie released this statement last night, says, quote, i'm deeply grateful to my incredible family campaign team and every san franciscan who voted for accountability, service and change. no matter who you supported in this election, we stand united in the fight for san francisco's future and a safer, more affordable city for all. end quote. now, we spoke to voters. here's what they told us about voting for lurie. >> what made you vote for him? >> just his policies. he's just he has some new ideas for the city of san francisco. san francisco needs help. >> it wasn't like there was one candidate that i was so excited about. so i am happy and excited to see what he does. >> i guess lurie has no past government experience. he spent the past 15 years as the executive of the san francisco nonprofit group he founded, called the tipping point. it's focused on fighting poverty and other problems in san francisco.

the 47 year old is probably best known as one of the heirs to the levi strauss jeans company, fortune. lurie's news conference, scheduled to take place at 11:00 this morning. it will be his first public remarks since mayor breed conceded the race. >> now, an update on the legal battle over the renaming of the airport in oakland. san francisco officials are asking a judge to issue a temporary injunction to immediately stop the airport from using the name san francisco bay. oakland international airport. if the injunction is granted, the port of oakland would need to remove all physical and digital materials with that new name until a final decision is made in the lawsuit. >> san francisco has been operating for almost a century, has used san francisco international airport or san francisco airport for most of that history. the first date of use of our trademark was 1954, and we've had the trademarks for so long that they're considered uncontestable in federal law. >> san francisco city attorney david chu said the lawsuit over the broader issue will continue regardless of this ruling. the judge says he'll submit a

written decision on the injunction in the next few weeks. now in oakland. officials there are responding from the port of oakland, saying bay area residents and visitors alike will have better flying choices when there is widespread industry and consumer recognition that okay is located on san francisco bay and serves the bay area region, too. >> time now is 808. happening today california air regulators are scheduled to vote on a proposal that could have a major impact on gas prices across the state. they'll vote on a plan to impose tough new regulations on the oil industry in an effort to reduce air pollution in california. some experts predict this change to the low carbon fuel standard could increase prices at the gas pump by as much as $0.65 a gallon. >> time is 809. we have some good news and some bad news, depending on where you are driving in hayward, they have cleared the crash and opened all the lanes. southbound 880 at whipple, and that should start to get better. pretty soon. all the lanes are open. i was just

looking at a caltrans camera to confirm that it is indeed true. so that is open now, but there's a new crash on the other side of the bay. southbound 101 at marsh road, menlo park area heading south. look at that. and traffic is very slow from about redwood city heading down into toward palo alto on 101. alternate route would be two 8280 is actually doing very well. let's talk about the south bay commute. that's okay. a couple of slowdowns there. and at the bay bridge, we have already officially reached friday light. 809 let's go back to the desk. >> didn't have much time to get out. it looks like another planet out here. >> an intense firefight with no end. this morning in ventura county. the destruction so far as the mountain fire tears through neighborhoods. >> and the mission to count votes far from over. in one bay area county. why? some people may not find out the final results unt december

is poised to get a new mayor. voters have elected retired city manager ron bernal. he's declared victory, while incumbent mayor lamar hernandez

thorpe has conceded. bernal tells us one of his first goals as mayor is addressing the city's troubled police department and bringing in a permanent police chief, a policy that shields immigrant spouses from deportation and helps them become u.s. citizens has been ruled illegal. >> a federal judge struck down the biden administration's program that would allow undocumented immigrants who are married to american citizens to gain legal status. the initiative is known as keeping families together. it allowed undocumented spouses and stepchildren of u.s. citizens to apply for a green card without first having to leave the country. >> fluoride could be removed from public water systems under the incoming white house administration. that is, according to one of the president elect's trump's advisers, robert f kennedy jr. he made the comments in an npr interview. according to the cdc, by the way. fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities. >> election workers in solano county have said a december 3rd deadline to have all the ballots in that county counted and certified. the assistant registrar of voters said they expect to have finished counting more than 125,000 ballots by the

end of the day today. they'll spend the next three weeks tallying up provisional ballots while providing daily updates. >> website right now has the unofficial results of what we've counted so far, and every night when we leave, we'll post a new total of what we've counted for that day. >> voter turnout in solano county is expected to range between 70 and 75%. key races. there include the mayoral elections in vallejo and benicia. >> political spam text messages are still buzzing on people's phones even though the election has ended. and while they might not be from trump or harris, a new scam text messages are from organizations asking to sign petitions. and so on. special interest groups, political action committees, and even cyber criminals. they are still reaching out over texts, hoping the receiver engages with them. experts say these groups often get your number through voter registration records, marketing companies, data brokers, and data leaks. >> just about all of us have had our cell phone, email address and name leaked out or put into

a data set in one way, shape or form. so we shouldn't be surprised at all when we get these types of messages. even if you tell them to stop and they're required to stop and they are going to stop, nothing prevents them from selling that information to another party. who will use it for the same exact reason. >> it just keeps getting sold over and over again. the advice is never reply to these text messages. instead, report them as spam and block the number. and while spam texts will never go away completely, the frequency is expected to slow down in the coming weeks and months. >> time is 815 and that text message noise kind of threw me. i was looking at my phone though. that was on your tv, folks. all right. the bay bridge looks great right now. and we start with the good news. i also want to mention that the south bay commute looks pretty good, but okay, let's get to some of the problem spots. southbound 101 right near marsh road. there's a crash there on the way. right as you get to the dumbarton bridge exit. it's

backed up out of redwood city, heading south on 101. the best way to get down the peninsula would be to use 280 instead. good news is, southbound 880. we had a crash at whipple in hayward, union city area. that's gone and the traffic is recovering. it was there for a while, but you can see that the traffic is still recovering in that area, but it should get better any time soon because the traffic volume is lighter. let's talk about the bay bridge. i went back, i think i started with that. i'm going to show it to you again just because it is light. and if you want to go into san francisco right now, it would be a good time. 816. let's bring steve back with today's weather. >> i don't hear you mention redwood city to menlo park too often, so is that better or about the same? what did you say? i didn't hear that. >> well, you know, the crash that's there is making it bad on a friday. it would be good, but unfortunately, we have to wait for that crash to clear. steve. >> thank you sir. all right. some people just tuning in or flipping out. right. nice

friday. there will be sunshine. there's no clouds, but it will be nice. cooler weekend. and there's change on the way. it was a cold, cold one this morning. and these are the cold hard truth numbers here. lima and marin county dropped to 32. penngrove was close along with graton at 33. guerneville 34, morgan hill was 36. lafayette 37, menlo park 38. speaking of and hercules also dropped briefly to 38. half moon bay is 16 degrees cooler than yesterday or colder. i should say, compared to yesterday. at this time, concord is ten. after that, it's about 2 to 4. so you know, we had a bigger drop yesterday, but there are a couple that have really dropped off the table here. just a huge system in the rockies. i mean that's a big snow producer in the plains as well. high pressure is about ready to lose its grip. that was the source of our wind on two on wednesday and parts of thursday. we still have a slight east or a north wind slight. it's still there and even though the days are short and the angle of the sun is higher, we'll still get some upper 60s to low 70s, but they

don't last very long. a lot of 40s right now. few 50s cloud cover is on the way. you can see the leading edge of that system won't do much until tomorrow. so today looks good. sunny side up. it will be nice, but change starts a little bit on saturday. more so on sunday. but friday your friday looks good. lots of sunshine but bigger changes takes place on sunday and monday. i think we get some rain on monday. better system could be about next thursday is kind of the way it's looking, but i do think the pattern changes next week. today though, we'll keep it on the sunny side. clear cold morning, giving way to sunny and nice afternoon. maybe a little breeze later on. might even be more of a sea breeze for some by the afternoon for sure. on the weekend. 6070s on the temps. by the time we meet again, i think we'll be talking about rain and then also again next week. could see another system next thursday. >> all right steve, thanks. southern california now thousands of residents have been evacuated as a wind driven wildfire burns through several communities. this is the mountain fire here in ventura county. it has destroyed 132 structures and homes, and 88 others have been damaged. more than 20,000 acres have burned,

and it's only 5% contained. cal fire says ten people have been injured, most suffering from smoke inhalation or other non-life threatening injuries. >> nobody was told to evacuate. i had to literally rip them from the house and say, get out of the house screaming and yelling and get everybody out. all the neighbors that could hear me yelling got out, got out, have a phone call or a message that said to evacuate. >> and so then i looked and i saw where the fire had started, but the smoke was just pouring into the backyard. >> the contra costa county fire protection district has sent some of its firefighters to help battle the flames. >> coming up, we'll dive deeper into the effect of smartwatches on children. the new findings, researchers say, are driving parents to buy those tech gadgets for their little ones. >> and taking a look at our weekend entertainment calendar now, san francisco's ice skating rink in union square opens for the holiday season at 10:00 this morning. then the musical feast 100th community show celebration begins at 530 this evening in mill valley, and hundreds of bicyclists will gather near bart

rapport with the president and knows how to direct him in places, which is going to be important in the white house. the president elect makes history in his naming of a chief of staff. the other cabinet selections that may not be far behind. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm andre senior. today is friday, november 8th. welcome to friday. if you're celebrated or if you're working, let's check in with the forecast. now steve paulson is up with us this morning. he's got a look at it steve how's it looking. >> looks nice today you guys i mean we you know we had the wind on wednesday a little bit thursday. but we've been in the 60s for a few 70s for many a san jose yesterday was 77. but change is on the way. it's knocking on the door. not yet. you can come in tomorrow, but not today. today looks good, but then a lot of changes showing up over the weekend. clear cold morning though, but sunny and nice today. there's still a puff of an east or northeast wind. nothing compared to what we had the last couple of days, and

temps will be above today, but by tomorrow they'll start to come down. they'll really come down sunday into monday. all right. sal's here. 830 peninsula. >> yeah, on the peninsula, steve. and let me just dial it up here, because southbound 101 is improving a little bit as they're getting this crash at marsh road out of the way, but it's going to take a bit. they're making progress. i can already tell because things at the accident scene are beginning to move better. southbound 101 at marsh el camino is also slow. some people are using that. if you're just heading down the peninsula, why not just use 280 instead? 280 is a much better alternate. things have become really light at the bay bridge right now. i think if you have to go to san francisco right now would be a good time. it's 831. >> let's go back to the desk as we watch president elect trump's administration begin to take shape. many are pointing to the effect robert f kennedy jr. could have on something we all rely on. >> one of the issues kennedy supports removing fluoride from drinking water. kennedy says president elect trump is on board with that plan, and ktvu ali rasmus joins us live this

morning to explain. good morning. ali. >> good morning andre. it's a controversial topic with a long history. fluoride has been part of the u.s. drinking water supply since 1945, but recent studies and even a court ruling here in the bay area have called into question some of the benefits of fluoride. now, in an interview in just the past 24 hours, robert f kennedy jr told npr that in president elect trump's first weeks in office, he will recommend removing fluoride from the country's drinking water. it's something kennedy wrote about in a post on x over the weekend. even before the election, saying in part, quote, on january 20th, the trump white house will advise all u.s. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. kennedy then goes on to list what he believes are some of the health problems associated with fluoride. but fluoride is a mineral that's added to drinking water to help strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. the american dental association says fluoridation is crucial for people who don't have access to regular dental care or cleaning, and that it prevents about 25%

of tooth decay in a person's lifetime. but earlier this year, a division of the federal government's own department of health and human services did a study that found too much fluoride exposure can lead to lower iq in children and in september, a federal obama appointed judge in san francisco ruled that because of that study, the environmental protection agency needs to reevaluate and possibly lower the amount of fluoride it allows in water. so how much is too much? since 2015, the federal government has recommended no more than 0.7mg of fluoride per liter of water. local water districts have control over how much fluoride is added, and the bay area's water districts have all that information listed on their website. we've compiled all of that for you, and we've posted it on our website this morning at ktvu.com. you can go there to see how much fluoride is in the water that customers at, say, east bay mud, santa clara water and other utilities consume. andre, back to you. >> ali, thank you so much. 833 is your time some hi tech experts say the second trump

administration could provide a big financial boost to silicon valley. the anti-immigration policies of president elect donald trump could impact new restrictions. google, apple and microsoft are among the companies hiring a significant number of foreign tech workers. meantime, daca recipients are also facing an uncertain future under a new trump administration, 150,000 californians are active. daca recipients. 241,000 californians are daca granted, and the number of total taxes they paid into the economy. $3 billion. joining us this morning for insight into the possible impacts when it comes to immigration is luis cortez romero a dreamer who is able to practice law under daca? luis, thank you so much for joining us this morning. thank you so much for having me. all right so luis daca allows certain young undocumented immigrants to work in the u.s. it does not grant them citizenship or lawful permanent residency. in fact, that extended to you as well. you're able to practice law. how are you able to practice law. did that extend to law as well? >> yes. that's right. so one of

the things that daca did is that it provided basically the basic building blocks of life. it provided a work authorization, a social security number and our ability to participate in our community. and so it allowed people like me to receive professional licenses, but not just me. other doca recipients have been able to become lawyer, teachers, psychologists and so it it allows us to reach really high professional levels. >> so luis, explain the drawback to daca recipients. what is it that leaves you in limbo? >> so if daca is to be terminated, what will happen is that our work authorization and our ability to sustain ourselves will will go away. and so we will now go back into having basically no status. and it will, as we saw from the last administration, try to end the program. it is predicted that it will cost billions of dollars to the economy well into the future. >> all right, luis, the trump administration, as you highlighted a moment ago, declared daca illegal and ended

the program. however, the supreme court blocked the administration's actions. now, can the administration, the incoming administration try to go after daca again and can they, with what the high court had ruled previously on this? >> yes they can. the problem with the trump administration last time and their attempt to end the daca program, was that they did not end the program properly. there is a way that the that the government has to undo a program of this size, this magnitude, with the impact that's going to have the community, but they have the authority to do so. the supreme court just said that they didn't do it. the right way this time around. the trump administration has already committed to end the daca program, and he'll have better advisers to be able to do it right this time. >> if he ends the daca program, you're unable to work. any daca recipient does and you don't have a path to citizenship, does that put you in line to possibly be forced to leave the country? >> it will put me and hundreds

of thousands of others at risk of deportation. and that's something that the trump administration has vowed to do, is to have one of the largest mass deportations campaigns, starting day one of his of his administration. so it does put us very much at risk of being returned to a place that a lot of us haven't been to since we were born. i myself brought was brought to the united states when i was two years old. i have lived here my entire life, and i'm not the only one in that situation. so we're facing possible deportation under the trump administration. >> is there anything that you can do or that you're part of to kind of combat this? >> well, you know, we're going to see what the trump administration's actions are as they come, what we know from the last administration or the last trump administration was that a lot of the policies, as they were implemented were unlawful simply because president trump just didn't know how government worked. and so wherever his attempts are going to be this time around, certainly are going

to be met with legal challenges to make sure that they're done correctly. but the other kind of important part here, too, is that we need congress to act and to do something because that's really kind of the fix that we're going to have here. >> all right. let's talk about the h-1b visa program here. a lot of workers here in the bay area have a lot of tech companies use them to get tech workers in to work on on with their companies here. the trump administration, in the past, they have also its people applying for it when you applied for that program, the number of people that were approved for that program during the trump administration shrank as well. can you tell us what the issue is there? >> yes. so, you know, the trump administration also made it very difficult for this type of legal immigration to occur. about 25%. only 25% of or about 25% of applications were denied under the trump administration. that's a record from under the biden administration. it was about 3% of the applications were were denied. so we saw an increased number of legal immigration take place during the trump during the biden administration because

they knew how to administer efficiently. they knew the needs of the economy. the trump administration was denying applications almost in mass, making the backlog even more onerous to get through. and in the process much more difficult. so we are going to see a much more difficult path, even for the h-1bs and even for the people waiting currently on the h-1b wait list, because there's a long wait list. that wait list is anticipated to get longer because of all of the roadblocks that the trump administration intends to put in place. >> luis cortez romero, thank you so much for joining us this morning. i'm sure we'll be talking to you in the future as we see things unfold from now. and when the president does take office on january. i appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. 839 those in america's lgbtq community and their supporters are also expressing serious concern about president elect trump's return to the white house. they say they're worried they could lose many of their constitutional rights during a second administration. even before the president elect takes any action, one mental health expert says his election has

already taken a devastating emotional toll on the lgbtq community. >> i'm really anticipating one of the biggest mental health crises our population has seen in decades. i've seen people, you know, have a panic attacks almost daily. >> president elect trump has promised to reinstate a ban on military service for transgender people. he's also vowing to block transition related care for minors across the country. it's currently legal in our state. californians also just voted in favor of proposition three, enshrining gay marriage to our state constitution. >> 840 today, we're expecting another batch of ballot results in alameda county, which means we could be closer to officially learning if voters will recall oakland mayor shengtao and alameda county district attorney pamela price. so far, the votes are swinging in favor of removing both leaders from their offices, with yes currently sitting at about 65% in both races. the alameda county board of supervisors will have to appoint a replacement for d.a. price if the votes hold. supporters of the recall

campaign tell us they trust the board will select the right person, hopefully through this whole. >> 18 month process, they was paying attention to what people really want. the system is never going to be perfect, but we want them to know that. i mean, as long as you work at it, we're willing to work with you. >> well, if mayor shengtao is removed from office, oakland city council president nikki fortunato bass is expected to become interim mayor until an election can be scheduled. well, voters in south lake tahoe rejected a law that would have created a tax on homes that are unoccupied for more than half of the year. election results showed nearly three quarters of voters and said no to the controversial measure. proponents say the tax would raise millions of dollars to help the area solve its housing crisis. critics argue, though, that the measure unfairly targeted some property owners with multiple homes. >> meanwhile, ski season kicking off today in tahoe, the resort opening for business and how you can save some oney when y

levi strauss heir. daniel lurie will speak publicly for the first time today after winning the race for san francisco mayor. mayor london breed conceded to the political newcomer last night. lurie campaigned on reducing homelessness and drug use on the streets. >> work is under way to replace

a former member of the san jose city council, who is in jail. omar torres resigned on monday and arrested the same day, accused of raping a relative when the victim was a child. council can either appoint a successor or hold a special election. >> california's top leaders are pledging to lead the political fight against president elect donald trump. governor newsom has already called for a special session of the state legislature to increase money for legal fights against the new administration. attorney general bonta says he's prepared to lead more lawsuits against a second term by president trump. >> 845 now, the federal reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter point as expected. however, with the new president elect set to take office in january. economists are concerned. many are now looking at the impact the election of donald trump could have on additional interest rate cuts. most say trump's plan to impose huge tariffs would likely aggravate inflation, requiring the fed to suspend rate cuts after its december meeting because of the prospect of increased tariffs. >> because of the prospect of future tax cuts, for example.

financial markets now think that future interest rates will be higher than they thought six months ago. >> higher interest rates will impact the housing market for potential buyers and sellers, and people hoping to refinance. it also makes it very difficult for people to get out of debt, particularly credit card debt. >> teachers, parents and children are trying to stop a south bay district from closing schools. save our schools. >> save our schools. >> people rallied in san jose to protest proposed cuts at the berryessa union school district. a budget committee is recommending closing three schools to cover a $6 million deficit. >> when you see successful schools that are doing so well in scoring, when you see them ranked for closure, it really makes you wonder how effective and successful was this committee. >> we are holding this school district accountable for the decisions they have made. they have no governance. they have no

oversight. they don't talk to us. >> the school district issued a response that says, in part, unfortunately, like countless public school districts across the bay area, the berryessa union school district has experienced a significant decline in enrollment over the past decade. school closures are an action of last resort. we take that very seriously. the district says no final decisions have been made. the board of trustees will review the committee's findings next month. 846 here. happening today, a campaign gets underway to honor the 317 pedestrians killed in traffic crashes in san francisco in the past ten years. the pedestrian safety group walk sf will begin hanging memorial signs at deadly crash sites across the city. the group will also paint 317 pairs of shoes as part of a temporary memorial display at city hall. walk sf reports. on average, 30 people are killed every year in traffic crashes in san francisco. another 500 are severely injured. >> all right. 847. the san francisco health department

urging people to get vaccinated ahead of the holidays. when covid and other respiratory bugs tend to spread with travel and indoor celebrations. health officials say the viruses are not causing much trouble right now, but the number of covid cases tends to jump in the winter months. the rise usually starts around thanksgiving and peaks in july and january, and that coincides, by the way, with flu season. >> while covid, flu and rsv activity is currently low in san francisco, it's important to get vaccinated. we are early in the respiratory virus season, and now is the time to protect yourselves and your families, to prevent yourselves from getting seriously sick and needing to go to the hospital. getting vaccinated is especially important before the holiday gatherings start to begin. >> health officials say it takes the body about two weeks to build up immunity after receiving the flu. covid and rsv vaccines. >> time now is 848, and we still do have some slow traffic. however, let me show you some good traffic first. i want to go right to the bay bridge. if you

have to go to san francisco. i like what i see here. even with an earlier crash. once that cleared, everyone kind of got better. this is a look at the macarthur maze, and you can see that we do have one problem. i think, you know, on the peninsula, if you were watching last time. still some slowing, although things are getting much better now that they removed it. see what happens on a day like today is when crashes are removed, the traffic recovers rather quickly. if you want to be on the safe side, just use 280 heading down the peninsula instead of 101 at 848. let's talk about the forecast now. and here is mr. steve paulson. >> mr. sal castaneda thank you sir. we will start coming out of the rockies. just a whopper of a system here. that is a tremendous amount of snow in new mexico. front range of colorado from denver up to boulder. ski season off to a roaring start there for the rockies. and out ahead of that. it's rain. it's thunderstorms. that is a big, big system that was the source

of our wind. that came by about 4 or 5 days ago and settled into arizona. we had howling wind. now it's too far away and the high is weakening. not only that, there's a couple of systems on the way, but we had clear skies this morning and it was darn cold there this morning. i want to tell you, lima penngrove, graton, guerneville, morgan hill, lafayette, menlo park and hercules, all between 32 and 38. there were many that were cold this morning. concord is running ten degrees colder than yesterday at this time. half moon bay is nine. at one time there were about 20. we still have a little hint of an offshore breeze, but i mean, most locations really, it's only about 5 to 10. nothing 30 or 40, anything like that. i expect this to kind of turn westerly. maybe later today, if not for sure. tomorrow. 40s and 50s. temperatures look similar. isothermal is what we say. a couple of systems are on the way. a weak one will move in over the weekend. that will give us a lot of cloud cover. i think by sunday some cooler temps. but today we're good to go for. sunshine looks nice. get out and enjoy! we've had three days in a

row of clear skies. today will be number three then changes tomorrow, but it looks a lot cooler with more clouds on the way as we head to the weekend and monday. sure looks like by the time we meet again, i'll be talking about some rain coming in. that's the way it looks to me. keep it on the sunny side though. today, after a cold morning it will be sunny and nice. maybe a little breeze will kick up this afternoon, but 60s 70s tomorrow we start to get some low clouds, more of a westerly breeze and then really cloud up. sunday. i think some rain arrives on monday, you guys. >> all right steve, thank you so much. it's a big day for bay area fans of winter sports today. >> the first tahoe ski resort opens for the season at 9:00 today. skiers and boarders will hit the slopes at mount rose for the first time this season. that resort's been making snow to add to what's come from mother nature. mount rose has the highest base elevation of all the tahoe resorts at more than 8200ft. other sierra ski resorts will open in the coming weeks. mammoth mountain in the central sierra opens next friday. then in two weeks on november 22nd, heavenly north star boreal and sugar bowl open. palisades tahoe opens the day before thanksgiving. sierra tahoe. the

time and the right situation. and so it's always nice though knowing that i can go through my read and come back down to christian. >> the game starts at ten sunday morning. you can watch the game right here on ktvu. >> fox two san francisco's elections department prepares to release more vote totals this afternoon. it appears that voters are on track to make a major change to a busy thoroughfare in the city. proposition k proposes closing the great highway from lincoln to sloat to vehicles. right now, it has 53% support. proposition c is also on track to being passed by voters. this would create the position of inspector general to root out corruption and negligence in city government. the president of the board of supervisors, aaron peskin, authored the measure. he says it's gratifying to see voters want new oversight. >> proposition c is going to work. the first thing it's going to do is it's just going to send a very clear signal to anybody who is cheating, anybody who is contemplating corruption, that there's a new sheriff in town, so to speak, and they better

grim prediction about the future of california's water supply. they say the number of severe droughts in the western u.s. will increase dramatically in the years ahead due to climate change. historic droughts have already had a devastating impact on california in recent years, causing water levels in the state reservoirs to plummet. the last major reservoir built in california was 46 years ago. >> happening today, the san francisco police department is starting to collect toys for children in need. this is the ninth year of the toy drive. it begins today and runs through december 20th. people can purchase or drop off a new, unwrapped toy to any walgreens or a police station across the city. hundreds of arrests, thousands of stolen cars recovered, and zero homicides. >> the extension from governor newsom that's here to stay. >> then a new era in san francisco. the political outsider who defeated incumbent mayor london breed. and what to expect from this first time poli
