unknown as pig butchering plus president biden unveils a sweeping new executive action on immigration aimed at protecting undocumented spouses and children of us citizens border state republican congressman dan crenshaw, republican of texas, is here to react leading this hour, the brutal, scorching heat wave punching the united states right now is more than half the country faces dangerously high temperatures. those high temperatures or fueling fires across the western united states made worse by driving gusty winds. federal officials say there are 29 large fires burning in the united states it's including a pair of fast-growing fires are tearing across southern new mexico right now, multiple fires also exploded across parts of california overnight, officials predict the fires could get even worse as temperatures continue to rise this week this moment thinking it'd be joined by new mexico governor michelle lu khan, grisham, who just declared a state of emergency and parts of new mexico due to the fires. but first, let's go to california where ten large wildfires are burning. cnn's natasha can is near one of them is called the post fire. it's a northwestern los angeles county natasha, how are firefighters working to get the post fire they're under control well, jake, they're using some unusual tactics so that la county hasn't done before, one of which is actually sending fire crews hotshot cruise by boat across a lake to get to the southern side of this fire. >> and the video that we just shot, hopefully we're showing you now exclusive video but actually, these fire crews taking everything that they can with them, including basic life support, medical aid, so that they can take care of themselves should anything happen in the middle of nowhere. essentially, this is them trying to get to the southern perimeter of this fire, which has been difficult to work with because there is steep and rugged terrain there. now the north side of this post fire is better taken care of overall, about a quarter percent contained 15,000 acres burned were at the command post where they are still just mapping this out. there are supposed to be high winds, warnings until 6:00 p.m. local time. and this is again, like you mentioned, just one of several fires burning throughout california, jake the post fire. >> it may be the biggest fire in california right now, but the sites fire in the northern part of the state is getting close more than 10,000 acres burned 0% contained. >> what more do we know about that fire? >> i'll jake, i think we just saw an update that there is a little bit of containment, but you're right that 10,000 acres just exploded very quickly and that's a characteristic we're seeing of many of these fires. they start with a small spark, then daylight comes, the heat builds, and it quickly moves and anywhere where there have been evacuation mornings or orders people have frequently told us there was barely any time to prepare for this. the winds shift and next thing you know, it's at your doorstep there are definitely very dry conditions, high wind gusts, as we mentioned, a heat that is building up next weekend. we're expected to get more of that heat also have dimension the last two winters really, we saw a lot of precipitation for california. >> and so that means a lot of vegetation grew. and that also produces a lot of fuel for fires to burn throughout the area. so that's one of the consequences of the wet weather we had the last couple of winters, jake. >> all right. natasha can in los angeles county. thanks so much in southern new mexico, right now, neither the south fork fire nor the salt fire show any signs of slowing down. gusty winds and dry heat are only making matters worse. let's bring in the governor of new mexico, michelle lu khan, grisham, governor. thanks for joining us. these two fast-moving fires are converging on tribal land and villages. you were just at a briefing with state and local officials. what is your message to those who might be in the line of fire here, the line of danger well it's a consistent message to heat those official warnings and evacuation orders. i mean, the most important thing is protecting the lives of new mexicans and their families. but to also recognize, we've deployed a ton of personnel who were fighting this fire. their lives exert risk to heed the warnings, we evacuated the largest community ruto. so last night, about 5,000 people were keeping a close watch on all the smaller communities. mescalero, apache reservation as the same standby readiness but as you pointed out, these are two very large zero containment hot fires with whether that does not cooperate for firefight, you declared a state of emergency that will allow for more funding and more resources to fight the fires. do you know exactly how much money or how much? he has many resources that will free up. and will that be enough yeah. i will tell you this unequivocally. unequivocally. it's never enough. >> but between the federal and state resources that the important piece isn't really how much we know that these wildfires and natural disasters related to climate change are getting in the hundreds of billions of dollars across the country and billions of dollars just on the last fire two years ago up north. >> so they're expensive because there's real devastation. the important thing is to be able to get money out immediately to stand up shelters to support the victims at this buyer, to support the personnel, and to pay for personnel and get them on the line of fire to fight the fire and to prevent it from taking any more structures and homes. that's the goal. >> we have a long way to go. jake. we know they're there are more than 500 structures impacted by the south fork fire. >> new mexico have everything needs to not only replace those structures, but to help any citizens or families who have been displaced well, right now, we're in really good shape. >> i'll tell you two things. i mean, we're waiting for the federal disaster declaration. it will come and they are very effective. the fed's and i appreciate the biden administration there. >> quick fonts for the emergency. >> i think it's pretty well known across the country that female wasn't created to deal with the rebuilding aspects that gets harder, right now i'm focused on making sure that we save lives and take care of new mexicans. in the mexicans are incredibly generous ranchers and farmers from all across the state. the state fair in albuquerque, properties are all stood up for livestock and ranching families to spend as much time as they need to with their horses and cows and pets we have ten shelters up foods, sleeping arrangements, showers people are giving donations of clothing and supplies. so for now, making sure that all of those operations our steady and we can move them as we need. i'm confident that we can do that more firefighters is always valuable, but you pointed out at the early part of your report the west competes for these fire resources because new mexico is not the only place where we have a serious fire raging in this heat and with the drought, frankly, the eradication of the state, as you know, jake, the timber here is dry yeah. and the fuel for these fires is like nothing we've ever seen before. >> any word yet on what caused the fires we don't know. we know that we had four starts that resulted in these two major fires. south fork and the salt fire investigations are ongoing. but for your viewers, when these in the heat, pardon that reference, but in trying to battle these fires, we can't get in to look at structures in the way that i think people expect us to, nor can we do that on the ground investigation with the intensity it will take until we get our arms around the fire a little bit better tonight, femur will have a satellite imagery for us so that we can look at structures in the broader area because as you know, new mexico is a very rural state. >> so we have people that don't live in the small villages baer the fires are encroaching or where the fires of pass-through will have more information for new mexicans and more new mexicans for americans who worry about us and have us in their thoughts and prayers. >> i feel the same way about californians and the firefighters and the families who sacrifice so that their loved ones help us with these fires will know more about what's occurring and about the patterns of that fire. once we have those satellite images, first thing in the morning. >> all right. new mexico and governor michelle lu hunger question. thank you so much. and we are sending our thoughts and prayers to new mexico. thank you so much. as we stay on top of wild fires in the west and potentially far deadlier natural disaster is also happening at the same time, extreme heat scorching the midwestern in northeastern united states on average, each year, heat-related deaths are more than double the number of deaths from hurricanes and tornadoes combined cnn meteorologist chad myers is tracking this dangerous heatwave. what is causing the extreme heat well, we've talked about this heat dome, so i'm going to try to explain it a bit. >> a flattened the map and show you what this looks like. it's like closing all the windows and closing the doors in your car and parking into the sun, all of a sudden that heat bakes into the ground and then and it can't leave and it didn't leave yesterday and toledo, look at the high temperature and to lead are breaking the record at 99. jake, i lived in detroit for five years. we never got close to that number, but another hundred and 50 records will likely be broken before saturday. and we have excessive heat warnings into maine. where do they may see their highest temperatures up there ever? >> the feels like temperature in syracuse right now it was 101 for newark, it feels like 97 pittsburgh, 95. >> so yes, the heat is here in the great lakes today, moves a little bit farther to the east tomorrow. and then again for thursday and friday, a little but farther again. >> but these big cities, this is the problem. >> the big cities have big numbers. i mean, we're talking millions of people, not the hinterlands of western nebraska, right? played around as a kid, pittsburgh will get the 96 today and stay in the 90s for the rest of the week. jake chad, there's also this potential tropical storm churning and the gulf of mexico. you told us about it could fuel heavy downpours? yes. in states like texas and louisiana yes. >> and certainly northern mexico as well. >> they can use some rain if you remember the stories we had earlier in the week about the water wars, mexico and texas while this is what's going to happen here, it's a potential tropical cyclone that's a lot of, that's a lot to coming out of the mouth, but it's not a tropical storm yet, even though you see 40 miles per hour and you say, wait, 39 is a tropical storm, hakeem, it's not a tropical storm yet. >> because right around the center, there's no convection whatsoever. there's no thunderstorms. all that wind is here and here. so not around the center, that's why it's not yet a tropical storm, but it will likely be one. and it is forecast to be one. but a 45 mile per hour sure. not a wind event, not really a surge event, maybe a couple of three feet, but it's a rain event. look at hours and hours and hours of rainfall. their northern parts of mexico and also into texas. flood watches are in effect. but some spots, especially in northern mexico, just south of the rio grande could pick up ten inches of rain. no one needs that we'll take this up here, 345 inches over about 48 hours. that's okay. >> you get ten inches of rain in two days. >> that's going to cause flooding. >> all right. so admires. thanks so much. appreciate it coming up. next, president biden's announcement on immigration this afternoon, and it's expected to impact hundreds of thousands of families plus israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu tries to ramp up public pressure on the united states, but will it change any minds in the biden administration and an attempt to moments ago on capitol hill to ban bump stocks for semi-automatic guns after the supreme court decision last week the most anticipated moment of this election and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and the former president, one state to moderated by jake tapper upper and dana bash, the cnn presidential debate thursday, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on max when dry ice symptoms key coming back inflammation might be to play over-the-counter wide drops can provide temporary relief dry can provide lasting relief. >> he targets inflammation. they can cause dry eye to drag treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease don't use it. allergic diseases a common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort, or blurred vision when applied in unusual taste sensation. why wait ask your doctor about a 90 day prescription and pay his little bit $0 zai dre greatness, hertz that the care you can keep chasing it that's tylenol that's care without limits ms bath row. so musty new fast acting drop-in tab a traps and traps excess moisture, eliminating musty odor it's so easy to get your windshield or place using safe flight tell the people i haven't done it already. >> my man, let's start off as a ship and grew to a crack and it just keeps going. so what do we do now?

hoping to accomplish? here? and why now? >> yeah, jake, it was clear that this announcement in the east room earlier was meant to be celebre tory, and meant to appease progressive and immigration advocates who had been pushing the president for years to take action on these immigrants who've lives have been in limbo for so long. and it is very three sweeping executive action. most executive, most sweeping that we have seen in years that would affect according to us officials, some 500,000 spouses of us citizens and 50,000 children whose parent is married to a us citizen. and the president, making clear in his remarks that these immigrants and his view are american in every way. they've gone to school year here, they've had jobs here. there are married to us citizens and not surprisingly, he didn't miss the opportunity to take a swipe at former president donald trump and his record when it comes to the immigration and take a listen when he was president, he separated families and children at the border. >> and now he's proposing to rep. spouses and children from their families and homes and communities in place them in detention camps about interest in playing politics or the border or immigration i mentioned in fixing it the white house really insisting today that the timing of this announcement really had nothing to do with politics. but of course, you can't ignore the fact that the first presidential debate hosted by cnn is going to be in just over a week from now between this announcement today and what we saw a couple of weeks ago from the president is it i'm putting on new restrictions on asylum seekers. you are seeing the president really trying to strike a balance on an issue that has been a tough up political vulnerability for him. >> alright cnn's mj lee white house. thanks so much, appreciated joining a standard discuss this in more texas. probably can congressman dan crenshaw, congressman crenshaw, i'm sure you don't like how biden enacted this through executive action, but do you have issues with the policy itself?
