committed to helping residents in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. but the organization of unity and goodwill was a target for hate. plus, statistically, i don't have enough money to buy in bulk before, so i'm just going to have to roll with the punches. americans are now bracing for the possibility of paying much more for items coming from canada, mexico and china. president elect trump is threatening to take action on his first day in office. and today is one of the busiest travel days of the year. we're going to take you live to see the current conditions at the bay area's three biggest airports from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. >> tuesday morning, november 26th, there's light rain affecting many areas around the bay area. and steve paulson is keeping track of all of it. >> well, we have a lot of light
7:01 am
rain. that's true. it will taper off after today. most of it is down towards santa cruz mountains, but everybody's in on this cloudy skies. don't want to say it's an angry sky. but it's a dark sky. a lot of gray over the bay. 50s on the temps. mist, drizzle, light rain, you name it. it's all out there. loma prieta, three quarters morgan hill over a half inch santa rosa past 48 hours. over a half inch sunnyvale 44/100. oakland hills a third. vallejo and danville with both a quarter. it's not done yet. now, the rain is kind of, i think a little lighter than yesterday, tapering off north to south, but anywhere down from about san jose, santa cruz to gilroy and monterey especially. that's going to be the focus now. lots of clouds, drizzle, light rain, most of the heavier, and it's not that heavy as south, but it's a day of upper 59 to 61 will cover the spread. all right, alice here. and she starts with what? >> east bay commute is kind of a mess. and it's been bad all morning long. it started with some crashes on westbound highway 24. those are still a problem, although they are getting cleared. there's still a
7:02 am
couple of lanes blocked westbound 24 at fish ranch road, but this is in the clearing stages. but things have already been gummed up because of what happened. also, some heavy traffic on westbound 80 and a crash westbound 80 at powell street there in emeryville. taking a look at 880, there is a crash southbound 880 at whipple avenue, but other than that, it's in better shape than it was yesterday. here's a live picture of that east shore freeway, where the commute has increased significantly in the last hour or so, from vallejo to the macarthur maze. it will take you just under 40 minutes once you get through that to the bay bridge toll plaza. you're going to be waiting here for 15 to 20 minutes to get onto the span. 702. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. ali. thanksgiving, two days away. people are already traveling for the upcoming holiday. want to take you out live to sfo. we are outside. we are inside the airport as well. flightaware reports there are 60 delays at sfo. oakland has eight. san jose mineta at this point is reporting three delays. triple a says thanksgiving is the busiest
7:03 am
holiday for travel. and today and tomorrow are expected to be the two busiest travel days this week. now, bad weather in other parts of the country could also cause problems for travelers. the faa also says some flights might be delayed during peak travel times because there are not enough air traffic controllers. this comes as tsa prepares to screen a record 18.3 million holiday travelers arrive a little bit early. >> and as you arrive, pack a little patience. it's going to be crowded. it's going to be crowded, especially during the rush hours that occur in airports nearly every day. >> according to triple a, close to 80 million americans will travel for the holiday this week. that's 2 million more than in 2019, before the pandemic. well, president elect donald trump is suggesting he will add tariffs to products coming from some of the united states biggest international trade partners. >> find out more on this. ktvu is james torres is in the studio
quote
7:04 am
with us now with the details of these plans. good morning jim. >> yeah, a lot of this we've heard about since president trump's campaign. good morning to you both. well, donald trump says he wants to add tariffs up to 25% on mexico and canada. and he's also calling for an additional 10% tariff on goods coming from china, saying through executive orders, these will be priorities for day one in office. it's information he posted on his truth social social media site, saying in part the tariffs will remain in effect until such time as drugs in particular fentanyl and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country. critics of trump's plan worry the move is a knee jerk reaction, and big tariffs could lead to higher prices and trigger inflation. mexico and canada account for about 30% of all the us's trade. experts believe, given president trump's first administration, it's a little bit of a toss up on whether these tariffs are just a threat to bring canada and mexico to the negotiating table or a plan that president trump is expected to follow through on.

7:05 am
>> personally sympathetic to, in a sense, playing hardball with china. i think that china has not fulfilled all of its obligations under its world trade organization accession. but canada and mexico are typically considered by most administrations. our nearest and dearest friends and neighbors. and so it's a little surprising that they would be the first countries that would be targeted with these new tariffs. >> china responding to the idea, an nbc spokesperson said in part, quote, no one will win a trade war or a tariff war. adding officials have been working to crack down on drug trafficking within the country, emphasizing as well those agreements made between president biden and president xi jinping during their meeting in california last year. now, the associated press reporting the president elect also spoke with canadian prime minister justin trudeau over a phone call with a canadian official calling it, quote, a good conversation. mexico. mexico's president just earlier this morning, claudia sheinbaum, responding to the idea, saying mexico is prepared

7:06 am
to retaliate with tariffs of its own. pam. >> thank you james. well, a judge in washington has dismissed president elect trump's federal election interference case. special counsel jack smith asked the judge to end the case, accusing trump of plotting to overturn the 2020 election results. prosecutors say the justice department cannot prosecute a sitting president under the constitution. trump posted on his social media after the ruling, saying, quote, i persevered against all odds and won this election. >> the largest effective jury verdict in history by reelecting donald trump. the special counsel found himself at odds with his own department's long standing policy against the prosecution of a sitting president. >> in his filing, jack smith asked for a dismissal without prejudice. it could leave the door open to prosecution when president elect trump leaves
quote quote quote
7:07 am
office. smith also requested that the federal classified documents case filed in florida be dismissed. the biden administration wants to expand medicare and medicaid coverage for popular weight loss drugs, such as wegovy and ozempic. right now, medicare covers these drugs for older americans who are obese, but they must also have diabetes or heart disease. the proposed change would eliminate those restrictions and make an additional 4 million people eligible for coverage. right now, those drugs can cost patients $1,000 a month. if president biden's proposal passes, some consumers could save as much as 95%. >> our time now 708. thieves in the east bay targeted a nonprofit group that helps to feed thousands of seniors who are homebound. meals on wheels in san leandro delivers food to senior citizens across a wide area of alameda county, from oakland to fremont. well, last week, thieves drilled holes in the group's refrigerated vans to steal gas. those vans are now out of commission during the
7:08 am
beginning of the holiday season, which is the organization's busiest time of the year. >> all hitting within four nights of each other last week. it puts our ability to get meals to every single senior that's depending on us. it puts that at risk. we might only be able to get to some of them on a given day. >> now, meals on wheels says they've had about eight vandalism and theft incidents this year. it's cost them more than $16,000. the nonprofit organization is now looking at having more security measures, including parking those vans away from their offices in a secure area. a san francisco nonprofit group says it's a victim of hateful graffiti. the safety ambassador agency, urban alchemy, says someone sprayed a swastika on their building early yesterday morning. they say the image appeared on their offices around 230 in the morning. they released this surveillance video of the incident and say they're trying to identify who is responsible. and there are new
7:09 am
calls for the san mateo county sheriff to resign, this time from both the union that represents sheriff's sergeants and the san carlos city council. the two groups separately voted no confidence in sheriff christina corpus within 24 hours. since 2010, the city of san carlos contracts the sheriff's department for police services. but last night the san carlos city council voted unanimously with several council members saying they felt they had no choice. after a recent report came out outlining misconduct allegations against the sheriff. >> the findings of judge cordell's report are serious and undeniable. although the sheriff continues to refuse to acknowledge any of her wrongdoings or offer the slightest amount of contrition. this is not about race or color or gender. it's about accountability. >> now, sheriff corpus is facing several misconduct allegations, including abuse of power, homophobia and an improper
7:10 am
romantic relationship with someone who work under her sheriff. corpus continues to deny the allegations. >> industry reaction is rolling into the governor's proposal to bring back california's ev rebate program. if the federal tax incentive is eliminated by the incoming trump administration. governor newsom wants to create a new version of the state's successful clean vehicle rebate program, which wrapped up last year. he's proposing to use california's greenhouse gas emissions reduction fund to pay for the rebates. carbon emitters, like the oil industry, pay into that fund under the state's cap and trade program. >> these are not general fund obligations. they could easily allocate additional dollars to restart the clean vehicle rebate project. >> the governor's office says the ev program funded more than 594,000 vehicle vehicles, and industry analysts predict expanding rebates would help attract the next phase of customers to buy an ev.
7:11 am
>> 710 is the time when we're going to check on the south bay commute, which has been a bright spot when you compare it to other spots on your bay area drive this morning. taking a look at the map, you can see things look pretty clear here. the only problems we've encountered are on 17 in the north and southbound direction at summit. there have been some single vehicle spin out crashes, so a good reminder to drive safely here in 280 san jose. northbound directions a little bit busier, but it looks like the roads here are starting to dry out. as we head farther north, you can see past the oakland coliseum traffic a little bit slow in that northbound direction as you get closer to the macarthur maze, and that's because the toll plaza and the macarthur maze has been a slog all morning long because of some earlier crashes. heavier rainfall noticeable here at the richmond san rafael bridge toll plaza. slow going getting into marin county. 711 is the time. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. ali. well, just in time for the holidays, a coast guard crew based in alameda sails home. we
7:12 am
have details of their overseas mission for the past 66 days. >> and there are some health concerns for legendary singer sir elton john. he has not been able to work on any new music in months

7:16 am
migrants and drugs from entering the u.s. >> well, in san francisco, glide memorial church is asking donors to help them out this holiday season. today is the annual thanksgiving week turkey drive, so you can start dropping off donated turkeys and other foods beginning at 11:00 this morning at glide, volunteers plan to serve thousands of plates of turkey, stuffing, and other traditional thanksgiving foods to people in need. well, supercharging your gut ahead of thanksgiving may help you digest all of that good food you're about to eat. most thanksgiving meals include a lot of food rich in butter, carbs, and dairy. nutritionists say maintaining good gut health can help keep you feeling less sluggish. good bacteria lines the inside of our digestive system, breaking down and absorbing nutrients so eating a diet that's high in unprocessed foods with plenty of fiber can help promote that.
7:17 am
>> the white dinner roll we can maybe choose the ones that are made with whole wheat between potatoes and sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes has a little higher fiber. >> now, the cdc recommends adults get between 22 to 34g of fiber a day, and something else that helps with your gut health. they say fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and kombucha can help you. >> thanksgiving is just two days away, and between figuring out how to cook a turkey and giving life updates to all your family members, the holidays can be stressful. and this year politics are adding to that stress. earlier here on mornings on two, we spoke live to fox medical teams. deena centofanti to help us create a mental health survival guide. she says two thirds of americans are worried about getting along with their family this year, especially after a polarizing presidential election. >> you control the
7:18 am
controllables. so what does that mean? well, going into the holiday, first of all, no, no. okay. somebody's going to say something either about politics. they're going to say something about my being single. they're going to say something about my weight, whatever. know what's going to upset you and have an answer ready to go. okay. so you've got a canned answer ready to go, maybe to you even have maybe you have a sibling or an aunt or a cousin and say, look, when i give you this look, that means old uncle henry is bugging me and i need you to help me get out of that conversation. so you're controlling the controllables as much as possible. watching the alcohol a little bit and then remembering it's all about the gratitude. >> she also notes that we should feel gratitude not just on thanksgiving, but approach every day with that choosing conversation topics ahead of time can also be a way to avoid awkward conversations that could quickly go off the rails. >> all right, time now. 718 music legend elton john says he still can't see anything for
7:19 am
months after he lost sight in his right eye in september, the superstar, who's now 77 years old, said he spent the summer battling an infection. elton john says he's staying hopeful his vision will eventually come back, but it has left him unable to work on any new music for right now. he's been it's been tough for him, he says. for everyday life and says not being able to experience the world the same way has stifled him creatively, which you can understand. >> oh gosh, yeah, such an incredible talent. yeah, we do wish him well. 719 is the time. let's head back over to ali rasmus. covering traffic. it has not been very light. no. this holiday week. >> yeah. for a holiday week i'm a bit surprised. you know, i think the weather may have something to do with it. it's a drizzle and that constant light rainfall. it's made the roads slick and we've seen a lot of spin out crashes because of it. some of the earlier problems
7:20 am
have sort of peaked. and now we're kind of starting to see things ease up just a little bit. there is this crash at westbound highway four at san marco boulevard that's been there since this morning, and there is a new crash in the east bay on westbound 80 at san pablo dam road. so that is going to make this drive on that westbound 80 corridor a little bit more intense and longer. we still have some problems in the clearing stages on westbound 24 heading into orinda. here's a live picture of that part of the commute. you don't see too much of a backup here in lafayette highway 24, but it gets more crowded as you get closer to the caldecott. your drive from the carquinez bridge to macarthur maze is taking up. it's been increasing in the last hour because of and now even more so because of, that crash at san pablo dam road. once you pass through that and get to the bay bridge toll plaza, things start to ease up a little bit. but there's still a 15 minute to 20 delay, 20 minute delay to get onto the span. 720 here's steve paulson. seems like the rain is
7:21 am
on and off according to our traffic. >> it's starting to move south a little bit. ali there. it's on its way out here slowly, but they'll still be off and on rain today. it looks like the winner here for going back to last week when we started. this is going to be veneto, which is just over 1200ft west of cloverdale. and healdsburg, with 24in of rain total. our observer, eric and west healdsburg had 23, so that makes sense. santa rosa since july 1st. i use the rain year, not the water year, which is october 1st. i use the july 1st rain year now over 16in of rain, which is 342% of average. not too bad, although it does look like for the next 7 to 10 days we'll get into drier weather. the plume of moisture continues to take aim at us, but there are some noticeable breaks in it and the rainfall has been kind of just santa cruz mountains. uvas canyon 87 100, boulder creek and bonny doon 83. mount diablo has had three quarters of an inch. other totals pretty good rain up in santa rosa. they had a half inch of rain. gilroy had a half
quote
7:22 am
inch. atherton 48 100. san jose 44. davenport 44. fremont a third, livermore a third. san francisco a quarter. and oakland picked up just a little bit more than 2/10, really winding down to the north more cloud cover, maybe even some mostly cloudy or a few sun breaks. if we can get this out of here fast enough. even east bay seems to be tapering off. it's all south now as this band begins to make its move southward. even now, almost past santa cruz, santa cruz mountains. but still, that will be the focus down toward santa clara valley and monterey 50s on the temps 50 to 54. i mean, everyone's in the same boat. still some moisture, though we're not done yet. that will be with us. most of the day. so just a cloud away and there will be plenty of them today. lots of clouds, cool to mild. if we get a little sun break. maybe it won't be too bad, but light rain moving south, most of it continues to drift southward. the rain will end by tonight. tomorrow morning and then it will be dry, but it will also be one where a pattern is. there's so much moisture lately, and if unless there's a breeze, there's going to be a lot of what we call the valley or tule fog.
7:23 am
>> thank you steve. san jose state university's women's volleyball team takes the court later this week in the mountain west conference tournament. the ruling from a judge over whether one member of the team will be allowed to play and a spike in stolen cars. the new numbers that show just how big a problem it is her i e ba

a new report confirming what we already know. car thefts in the
7:26 am
bay area increased over the last few years. the study says more than 140,000 vehicles were stolen in the bay area's five biggest counties between 2016 and 2023. that's a 25% increase over previous years. most bay area car thefts took place in alameda, san francisco and santa clara counties during that same time period, the menendez brothers were convicted of killing. their parents will have to wait a little longer to find out if they will be resentenced at a status hearing in los angeles, a judge ruled. a december 11th resentencing hearing should be delayed to give the county's newly elected district attorney time to review the case. the two are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for killing their parents in 1989. incoming da nathan hochman says the delay will provide time to review an extensive case file and consult with prosecutors, defense lawyers and family members. well, it was a warm welcome home for the us coast

quote
7:32 am
moving south slowly, 50s on the temps. it will still be a cloudy to mostly cloudy day, some off and on light rain, but much less in coverage to the north than we saw yesterday when this whole band lifted north. that's not the case. you can see where it is. santa cruz to monterey. that looks to be the focus, but a lot of clouds, light rain, drizzle, heaviest woman is not that heavy. it will be mostly to the south. and if it's not between 59 and 61, it's not on my panel on the highs. all right alex here. it's been. east bay, east bay, east bay. >> and we're going to go all over because we're going to show where the rain is falling. we can see it on our traffic camera at the richmond-san. rafael bridge toll plaza. if you can take up that picture there you see rain raindrops on the camera lens. it's been slow going getting over to marin county. no specific problems here at this spot, but just want to show you that the weather is a factor in this morning's commute. we've seen it throughout the bay area, especially the east bay. had a lot of problems this morning. 280 in san jose. roads here look dry, but as you heard steve mentioned, it's moving on through 880 in oakland. also a wet and rainy commute. you see a
7:33 am
lot of slowing down as folks make their way up past the coliseum. 732 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. just two days until thanksgiving holiday travel is ramping up. ktvu is amanda quintana is at san francisco international airport to show us what it is like. there. >> well, it's busy, but in my opinion, it's not too busy. it doesn't seem too bad. we've had some people that we talked to that said, you know, i kind of was expecting it to be worse. so that's good for them that they got here prepared and they're thinking, okay, it's not actually that bad. but you know, it could pick up throughout the day because today, tomorrow and sunday are expected to be the busiest travel days for thanksgiving. and this is the busiest holiday for travel. records are expected to be set in all forms of travel, even cruising. that is according to triple a, they estimate nearly 80 million people will travel this week. compare that to about 78 million last year. now, about
7:34 am
6 million will travel by plane within the u.s. that's more than even pre-pandemic levels. in an effort to meet that demand, major airlines have said that each day they will provide 150,000 more seats than they did last year. there is some severe weather out on the east coast that could affect some passengers, but i just spoke to one couple where the woman says she's very prepared for this busy airport. but the man not so much. >> i had us get up a little bit earlier, but nervous. >> me? not so much. >> it's fine. i have clear. i'm like, we'll be good. he doesn't though. we meet, we meet, we separate and we meet at the end. >> now here at sfo, we were already seeing delays yesterday. the faa had a two hour ground delay for high wind and weather conditions. yesterday there were more than 500 delays and 26 cancellations. but i just took a look at the board. i don't see any significant delays happening right now here at sfo. they do
7:35 am
expect 160,000 people to come through this week at okay. they expect 340,000 passengers to pass through both airports. of course, recommending you get here early, about two hours before the flight, just to be prepared. but of course, it's not just about air travel. it's also about people on the roadways. so triple a also expecting record breaking numbers there. nearly 72 million traveling in a car. so they say, you know san francisco it's a big city on a wednesday. it's going to be hard to get out of the city if you're traveling for thanksgiving. so that's something to think about as well. live at sfo amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, amanda, hopefully everybody is kind to each other and to the airport workers and all this busyness. a lot of people might be driving up to tahoe to enjoy the thanksgiving holiday and all that new snow. want to take you up there live. this is castle peak. you can see it's actually quite a bit snowy,
7:36 am
more than it was earlier this morning when we checked. we have been checking in on the current conditions. it does look like a little more snow on the road there. the two main highways there chains required on eastbound interstate 80 from kingvale in placer county to the donner lake exchange interchange, and on eastbound highway 50. chains are required from twin bridges to meyers in el dorado county. the chp urging drivers, we can't stress this enough. check the current road conditions before you head up to lake tahoe. >> all right, our time is 735. happening today in solano count. a man accused of killing his mother and stabbing his wife is due in court. 63 year old frank mcmillan has been in the hospital recovering since these two incidents. investigators say he was visiting his wife at the kaiser hospital in vallejo earlier this month, when he stabbed her and then stabbed himself when he came out of surgery, authorities say he confessed to also killing his

7:38 am
over the weekend. tragically ended. the placer county sheriff's office says both bodies were found by a drone operator downstream from where they were last seen. officials say the two men were swept away as they tried to cross the river. sheriff's deputies say the recovery of the bodies was very difficult because of the strong current of the water. >> they were located in a difficult to reach area with very fast moving water, but we were able to put together a pulley system that would hold the rescue boats steady and throughout that process, both bodies were were able to be pulled from the american river. >> now, neither man was wearing life jackets at the time, and they have not been identified. >> a federal judge has rejected an attempt to block a san jose state university volleyball player from competing in the conference tournament because she is transgender. now the ruling will allow the player who

7:40 am
lafayette. all the way through orinda, those corridors that take you from pittsburgh and all the way through concord and into towards the caldecott tunnel. you can see this earlier crash has now been cleared, and this one is has as well. that was in the eastbound direction at oak hill. but there's still that a lingering backup. there was an earlier crash at westbound 24 at fish ranch road. it's out of the way, but there's still a lot of congestion trying to kind of clear out and thin out behind it. and that's in addition to some slow traffic on westbound 80 from richmond all the way down through emeryville. it will make your drive time pretty long, and you see some pretty heavy rain falling here as well. in these traffic cameras. 45 minutes to get from the carquinez bridge to macarthur maze. taking down just a minute there. bay bridge toll plaza. some rain on the lens here as well. and it's a 20 minute delay to get onto the span. 740 steve paulson tracking the weather and that on and off rain and aggressive drizzle, aggressive drizzle in town, that's for sure. >> thank you ali. yes we're not

is what it was when we checked last time. so the peak of the morning commute is sort of easing up a little bit, but it's still stop and go as you get from there to the bay bridge toll plaza. remember that shower we showed you over the richmond-san rafael bridge toll plaza? the camera lens looked like this. well, now that shower has moved on through to the bay bridge toll plaza. so that's the story. all morning long, it sounds like steve paulson with the weather we call it oregon. >> missed it. missed them and hit us. ali is what we call this because it's just a steady light drizzle. light rain or, you know, kind of misty, drizzly, more so to the south. but there's just enough there to keep it going for today. there's decreasing amounts to the north, but it's still there. some of it's below the radar beam because there's a lot of low level moisture, even east and on the peninsula decreasing, but there's still plenty there. the main band, though, is moving south more towards monterey. salinas, hollister, but there's still plenty hanging around 50s on the temps. they have not budged all morning long. the moisture source will get cut off here after today and this will

8:04 am
together, the three countries entered a trade agreement in 2020 known as the u.s, mexico, canada agreement. it replaced the north american free trade agreement. and experts suggest imposing taxes on the two border countries could violate that agreement, though there are exceptions for national security threats or large surges of imports, possibly the immigration issue at the southern border could be construed to be a situation of national emergency. >> but certainly at the northern border, no way. doesn't even come close. >> china, responding to the idea an embassy spokesman said in a in part, quote, no one will win a trade war or a tariff war. adding officials have been working to crack down on drug trafficking within the country, also emphasizing agreements made between president biden and president xi jinping during their meeting in california last year. now, the associated press also reporting the president elect, spoke with canadian prime minister justin trudeau over a

8:07 am
this is not about race or color or gender. it's about accountability. >> now, christina corpus is facing several misconduct allegations, including abuse of power, homophobia and an improper romantic relationship with someone who works under her sheriff court. corpus still denies these allegations. last week, the county board of supervisors pushed to put a measure on the ballot, asking voters to give them the authority to remove the sheriff from office. >> industry reaction is rolling into the governor's proposal to bring back california's ev rebate program. if the federal tax incentive is eliminated by the incoming trump administration. governor newsom wants to create a new version of the state's successful clean vehicle rebate program, which wrapped up last year. he's proposing to use california's greenhouse gas emissions reduction fund to pay for the rebates. carbon emitters, like the oil industry, pay into that fund under the state's cap and
8:08 am
trade program. >> these are not general fund obligations. they could easily allocate additional dollars to restart the clean vehicle rebate project. >> the governor's office says the ev program funded more than 594,000 vehicles. industry analysts believe expanding rebates would help attract the next phase of customers to buy an ev. according to the governor's office, more than 115,000 zero emission cars were sold or leased in california during the last quarter of 2023. thanksgiving is in a couple of days, and safety experts are sharing a few tips. according to the national fire protection association, thanksgiving is the peak day for cooking fires, and that's followed by christmas and christmas eve. those fires can cause burns that require treatment, surgery and even hospitalization. >> so during the cooking process, what we like to remind people for safety is to always

8:31 am
drizzle, but most of this is moving south now. there's still plenty of clouds offshore, so i mean we're not expecting a quick sun break, that's for sure. but it will be cloudy to mostly cloudy. looks like it's really kind of winding down to the north, but some of it still falling in the form of drizzle or light rain, even from santa cruz to gilroy south, you can see the line is moving south. there's still some embedded in there. so a lot of clouds, some off and on drizzle, light rain. most of it though, has moved south. temperatures, though around 59 to 61, should cover the spread. everything starts to change tomorrow with drier weather. all right over to ali. 830 she's been all over the place this time. we are east contra costa county because things are improving there. >> thankfully, it seems like we're beyond the peak of the morning commute. we can show you the maps you can see for yourself, nice and green on that highway. four drive westbound. looks good. no problems there. taking a look at other east bay cameras, showers looks like or at least that aggressive drizzle that steve was talking about coming down in lafayette on highway 24. but some of the earlier crashes there have now
8:32 am
cleared. be aware when you get out of the caldecott tunnel, if you're heading west, there is a stalled vehicle in one of the lanes, but it's definitely an improvement compared to earlier this morning. between the raindrops on the lens. here, you can make out a lighter commute here at the bay bridge toll plaza. there are fewer cars waiting there, so you will have a bit of an easier time of it. so a quick check of the golden gate bridge, where you can see no problems getting into the city. 831 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. ali. with just two days until thanksgiving holiday travel is in full swing and ktvu is. >> amanda quintana is at san francisco international airport. you've been out there for a while, so how are things going there? >> so it's actually slowed down a bit in the last hour or so. not not a lot of people here. it's not too bad. i think a lot of people try to get that early flight out. so it was pretty hectic this morning. but still not as bad as a lot of people were expecting because of course, you know, today,
8:33 am
tomorrow, sunday, those are going to be the biggest, busiest travel days for thanksgiving. now, this is the busiest holiday for travel and records are expected to be set in all forms of travel, even cruising. that's according to triple a, they estimate nearly 80 million people will travel this week. compare that to about 78 million last year. about 6 million will travel by plane within the u.s. that's more than even pre-pandemic levels. in an effort to meet that demand, major airlines have said each day they would provide 150,000 more seats than they did last year. some passengers are well prepared for a busy travel day one saying it's all about your mindset. >> i think i had a moment of delirium because i didn't remember. this is how it is at thanksgiving, but i'm patient person. you know, if you be patient, you won't age. >> here at sfo, we were already seeing delays yesterday. the faa
8:34 am
had a two hour ground delay for high wind and weather conditions. so yesterday there were more than 500 delays and 26 cancellations. but we really haven't seen significant delays this morning. now both sfo and okay of course recommending travelers arrive at least two hours before their flight. be prepared even though you know you see this on tv and think, hey, it doesn't look that bad, it could pick up pretty quickly depending on what time your flight is. but of course, it's not just about flying, it's about the roads as well. triple a expecting 72 million people to be out on the roadways traveling somewhere for thanksgiving. they say in san francisco, the worst time to get out is going to be on wednesday. so if you plan to travel somewhere for thanksgiving and you're leaving wednesday, be aware that it's probably going to be pretty hard to get out of the city. live at sfo. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, amanda. thank you. time now. 834 city leaders on the peninsula are debating a new immigration policy because of
8:35 am
donald trump's coming return to the white house. last night, the city council in redwood city met to talk about imposing restrictions on city staff and resources for helping federal immigration agents. the proposed ordinance would take effect early next year, just as donald trump is sworn into office for a second term. >> there's a lot of fear in the community of folks, neighbors concerned that they will be apprehended by ice when the new administration takes office. >> reporter now, however, other members of the council say the city should take a close look at the existing state and county laws before they approve their own immigration policy. >> police in the state of california can share a person's personal information, such as home address, with ice or the border patrol, unless that information is already publicly available. these are just some of the things that are already
8:36 am
law that have already been law since 2017. >> now, the mayor of redwood city also warned the city could possibly lose federal funding if this immigration policy is approved. the city council didn't hold a final vote on the ordinance. they will talk about it again at a meeting in january. >> president elect donald trump promises tariffs as soon as he takes office in january. coming from mexico, canada and china. the three biggest importers to the u.s. joining us now to discuss the implications of tariffs on consumers and the economy, cornell professor gustavo flores macias. good morning. thank you for joining us. >> good morning, pam. thank you for having me. >> these are a lot of concern about what this will mean for prices as americans are already struggling to afford even the basics. what are your thoughts on this? >> well, on the one hand, you know the promise of tariffs was an important promise that donald
8:37 am
trump made during the campaign. and i think there are a lot of americans that are eager for something that changes things in terms of the way that the economy has gone. many of them are concerned about jobs losing their jobs, and many of these jobs have gone to mexico to china, elsewhere. so that's a big, big issue. but another big issue is also inflation or has been inflation in the last few years. and that was another big promise that donald trump made during the campaign. and the issue with tariffs is that we may have conflicting results or conflicting goals in both inflation and the generation of jobs in the us. >> yeah, i mean, i studied economics. so you think about some people may think, oh, this is great. this could help companies, us companies because consumers will then turn to those products. but considering the impact on supply and demand, what do you think about the possibility that this could actually drive up prices for us products as well? and the possibility that china, mexico and canada will retaliate by imposing tariffs on our exports?
8:38 am
>> well, that's a real possibility. i think one of the issues, you know, there's, as you point out, there's a body of research. this is this is not unknown to economists, a body of research that points to the effects of tariffs. and what we see is that often maybe in the short run, companies can absorb some of these additional costs. but in the long run, consumers end up paying the cost. and here we mean consumers in the us when the us government would adopt those tariffs. so we may see maybe in the short run, some relief for companies. and industries, let's say steel or others that have been floated as companies that would see some tariffs. but in the long run, what more likely than not, what we will see is that the consumer will end up paying the price and that prices will go up as a result, affecting inflation. so it's really something that even though we may see a positive effect in the short run for some
8:39 am
industries, and that might consumers might not feel the pinch right away in the long run. this is likely to be detrimental to the us consumer and those industries as well. >> we're looking at in particular the car industry. some of the big us carmakers are down this morning. their stocks are down this morning on wall street on this news. what do you think is the likelihood that this that these tariffs will actually be able to be enforced and enacted. >> that's a great question. there's a lot of speculation as to whether the tariffs at this point are a negotiating tactic that the trump administration is using or has used. you know, we've seen this during the first administration, whether president trump would leverage this tactic. again, it was effective in renegotiating what was nafta at the time that became the us-mexico-canada agreement. and that agreement is due for a renegotiation or reevaluation in 2026, and negotiations will start shortly, probably next year. and this is
8:40 am
a big concern for mexico. for canada, you were suggesting, you know, reactions of coming from these countries that might engage in a trade war. if the us adopts tariffs, they might do the same. and this will be a lose lose situation for consumers in north america. this is something that certainly the us would want to avoid. and what would be important to see is if this indeed helps the trump administration gain concessions that are favorable to the us, to bring to generate more employment and to keep a lid on inflation and really quick, maybe just quickly before you go, what do you think? >> i mean, the president elect has said this is to stop the flow of drugs and immigrants into the country. what what is your take on whether or not this would be successful in actually the tariffs could be successful in making that happen and stopping that from happening. >> i think we saw during the first trump administration that this, you know, some people
8:41 am
might call it the weaponization of trade to of trade to influence other spheres like immigration or drug trafficking. that was somewhat successful in that it compelled mexico to tighten its southern border and make it harder for migrants coming from central and south america to reach the united states. so that was successful to some extent. i don't think it will be. it'll end this undocumented migration into the us entirely. if the mexican government could, it probably already would have done it. and the same is true for fentanyl and other drugs. but it will help negotiate these different dimensions. and hopefully this will also provide some relief in terms of these issues that many, many voters, many people that voted for donald trump, had as top concerns. >> all right. certainly very interesting. the discussions will continue. cornell professor gustavo flores macias, thank you
8:42 am
so much for joining us. >> thank you pam. >> appreciate it. our time is now 841 with thieves in the east bay targeted, a nonprofit group that helps to feed thousands of senior citizens who are homebound. meals on wheels in san leandro delivers food to senior citizens across alameda county from oakland to fremont. well, last week, thieves drilled holes in the group's refrigerated vans to steal gas. now, those vans are out of commission. during the beginning of the holiday season, the busiest time of the year for meals on wheels. >> we're all hitting within four nights of each other last week. it puts our ability to get meals to every single senior that's depending on us. it puts that at risk. we might only be able to get to some of them on a given day. >> the meals on wheels say they've suffered eight vandalism and theft incidents this year. it cost them more than $16,000. the nonprofit organization is also considering more security measures, like parking their vans away from their offices in

8:51 am
clinical trials on humans are expected to start soon. >> time now is 850. a quick check of traffic starting in the south bay where the commute looks pretty good overall. let's take the map really quickly. there you go. and from there we'll move up north and you can see northbound 680 just south of marina vista. there is a crash there blocking one of the slow lanes. the east bay commute here on westbound 80 is improving slowly as the morning goes on, but it looks like there is another crash just as you exit the bay bridge. something that just popped up onto our radar. but your commute from vallejo to the macarthur maze ticking down just under 30 minutes. 880 in oakland looks good. a little bit more slow in that southbound direction. bay bridge toll plaz. things are lighting up and improving here as well, and we'll end up with this shot of the golden gate bridge. looks like the clouds are moving on through steve paulson, and it looks like there's no wind at all. i always keep an eye on that flag post. in the right hand of the screen is, as you
8:52 am
and i both know, there's a puff of a south breeze, but not much. >> ali, that is correct. puff of the south? not much. well, i think we're rounding third. heading for home on any rain. this pattern give it credit. i mean, it was a big time event. it looks like the winner was veneto, which is west of cloverdale and healdsburg at just past 1200ft. they had 24in of rain total. not. that's. that's an eye opener. santa rosa, this is since july 1st. i use the rain year, not the water year. now it's 16. oh nine total. most of that fell last week. as you know, that is 342% of normal. so we could probably use a break and we're going to get a break even though it's not winter dry spells after a big rain like this are quite common. the moisture still streaming in, there are some breaks in it, but it's about ready to take a turn to the south. most of the rain has the sierra still has snow, but looks like that's winding down most of it now drifting south. just a heads up. it's going to be cold. cold thanksgiving all the way into
