HEGSETH SAYS THE COUNTRY IS WORKING TO BRING BACK SOLDIERS WHO WERE FORCED OUT FOR NOT TAKING THE CORONAVIRUS VACCINE. THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IS RESTORING WHAT HEGSETH CALLS IS, QUOTE, WARRIOR ETHOS BY ENDING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES AND REMOTE WORK. NO MORE SOCIAL ENGINEERING.

IN THE LETTER MAILED YESTERDAY, LAWMAKERS ASKED SECRETARY HEGSETH IF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS COMPLYING WITH COURT ORDERS THAT STOP THE BAN AND DEMANDED TO FIND OUT IF ANY TRANSGENDER SERVICE MEMBERS HAD BEEN DISMISSED UNDER THE EXECUTIVE ORDER. LANCASTER COUNTY LEADERS AND HEALTH OFFICIALS MET TODAY TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO PREVENT MEASLES FROM SPREADING AFTER A CONFIRMED CASE IN THE COUNTY AND A NATIONWIDE OUTBREAK, NEWS EIGHT’S GABRIELLE THOMAS HAS MORE FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER. SEVERAL MEASLES CASES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT ONLY ONE CASE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED HERE IN LANCASTER COUNTY. ALTHOUGH THERE’S ONLY ONE CASE. COUNTY LEADERS AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS ARE PLANNING EARLY TO KEEP YOU SAFE. KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT PERSON WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR MEASLES WAS VISITING LANCASTER COUNTY FROM TEXAS AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY EXPOSED OTHERS HERE IN THE LANCASTER COUNTY COMMUNITY. SPECIFICALLY, AT WELLSPAN EPHRATA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WHICH IS WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL WAS SEEN ON APRIL 8TH. MEASLES SPREADS REALLY EASILY JUST FROM SOMEONE BREATHING, COUGHING OR SNEEZING, AND THE VIRUS CAN EVEN HANG AROUND IN THE AIR OR ON SURFACES FOR UP TO TWO HOURS. AFTER THAT PERSON LEAVES. IT USUALLY STARTS OFF LIKE A BAD COLD WITH A FEVER, COUGH, RUNNY NOSE AND RED, WATERY EYES. THEN A RASH SHOWS UP, STARTING ON THE FACE AND SPREADING DOWN THE BODY. IN TODAY’S MEETING, COUNTY LEADERS SAY THEY ARE ACTIVELY WORKING TO ENSURE THE COMMUNITY HAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION REGARDING THE DISEASE AND VACCINES TO STAY SAFE. THINGS LIKE PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, GETTING INTO THE SCHOOLS AND SUPPORTING HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WILL PUT THEM ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAK. TALK TO YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER OR YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER WILL GUIDE THEM THROUGH THOSE SYMPTOMS, WILL PROVIDE THEM THAT INFORMATION ON THE SYMPTOMS. RECOGNITION. AND NUMBER TWO IS BEFORE YOU SHOW UP TO THEIR OFFICE OR SHOW UP TO THE ERS, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE THOSE FOLKS A CALL AND LET THEM KNOW, HEY, I HAVE A CONCERN. WHAT SHOULD I DO? HOW SHOULD I GET TO YOUR FACILITY? EXPERTS SAY THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELVES FROM MEASLES IS TO GET THE VACCINE. THE CDC SAYS THE PEOPLE MOST AT RISK FOR MEASLES ARE BABIES UNDER ONE. ANYONE WHO ISN’T VACCINATED, AND FOLKS FROM PLACES WHERE VACCINATION RATES ARE LOW OR MEASLES IS STILL SPREADING. NOW, KNOWING THE SIGNS OF MEASLES OR THE PLACES YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED WILL HELP PROTECT YOU FROM THE DISEASE. REPORTING HERE IN EAST HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP, I’M GABRIELLE THOMAS, WGAL, NEWS EIGHT. LOOK AT THIS. THIS LARGE WILDFIRE IN NEW JERSEY IS THREATENING MORE THAN A THOUSAND HOMES AND STRUCTURES. THE JONES ROAD WILDFIRE HAS FORCED THOUSANDS OF EVACUATIONS. NBC’S SAM BROCK HAS MORE ON THE ROUND THE CLOCK EFFORT TO FIGHT THE FIRE. SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, IN A MAJOR FIREFIGHT TRYING TO CONTAIN AN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS AND OUT OF CONTROL WILDFIRE. I FEEL THE HEAT ON MY FACE. THE FLAMES BURNING NEAR SEVERAL ROADS IN THE AREA. THICK BLACK SMOKE BILLOWING FROM OCEAN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. THE STATE’S FOREST FIRE SERVICE DEPLOYING AIR TANKERS AND HELICOPTERS OVER A LARGE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA TO HELP FIGHT THE FLAMES FROM ABOVE. THE SOUTH FLANK IS REALLY PICKING UP. WHILE ISSUING BOTH VOLUNTARY AND MANDATORY EVACUATIONS, THE FAMILY CAN’T EVEN GET TO YOU BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET HERE. 3000 PEOPLE TOLD TO EVACUATE IN OCEAN AND LACEY TOWNSHIPS WITH FLAMES THREATENING SOME 1300 PLUS STRUCTURES. AT THIS POINT, MORE THAN 25,000 PEOPLE IN THE AREA STILL DON’T HAVE ELECTRICITY. AFTER OFFICIALS TURNED OFF THE POWER TO KEEP FIRE CREWS SAFE. OH MY GOD, THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE TORCHED. THE EVACUATIONS TRIGGERED AFTER THE FLAMES QUICKLY BEGAN TO SPREAD, DRIVEN BY WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 MILES AN HOUR. SOMEONE POSTED ON FACEBOOK THEY NEED HELP EVACUATING THEIR HORSES. NEIGHBORS HELPING TO MOVE ANIMALS FROM A NEARBY FARM TO SAFETY. THIS WINDS ARE NOT HELPING US TODAY. AND THE FIRES ARE UNPREDICTABLE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE LARGE ANIMALS, IT MAKES IT REALLY SCARY. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. AT ONE POINT, A 17 MILE STRETCH OF THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY WAS SHUT DOWN, CAUSING A MAJOR TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE. I’VE BEEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR THREE HOURS, BUT NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE CONFIRMING THAT BOTH THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY AND A STATE ROUTE NEAR THE FIRE ZONE HAVE BOTH REOPENED. OFFICIALS IN THE AREA ARE URGING RESIDENTS TO HEED EVACUATION WARNINGS. IT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. ALL OF THAT SMOKE IS BLOWING EAST, SO IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO IS HERE WITH MORE ON OUR FORECAST. AND I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN EVEN SEE THAT ON RADAR. THE SMOKE. MIKE. YES, SUSAN. WE ACTUALLY CAN SEE IT ON RADAR HERE. AND WE’RE GOING TO START OFF WITH OUR VIEW. SO THAT WAY WE CAN PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE FOR YOU. AND WE HAVE A CLEAR SKY HERE. BUT LET’S HEAD OFF TO THE EAST AND YOU CAN SEE THAT BLOB THERE OVER OCEAN COUNTY. THAT IS ALL WILDFIRE SMOKE. BUT ON A NORMAL DAY, YOU WOULD THINK IT’S HEAVY RAIN COMING THROUGH. SO THAT IS HOW THICK THAT SMOKE IS. IT’S ACTUALLY SHOWING UP ON RADAR. AND WHAT WOULD LOOK LIKE HEAVY RAIN HERE. SO UNFORTUNATE FOR OCEAN COUNTY NEW JERSEY. HOPEFULLY THEY’LL BE ABLE TO GET THAT UNDER CONTROL SOON. LUCKILY, THE WINDS ARE CALMER TODAY ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY AND NEW JERSEY. THAT SHOULD HELP THINGS OUT, BUT IT IS SUNNY AND WARM AND WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE WARM CONDITIONS TODAY. LIKE I SAID THOUGH, TODAY A LOT CALMER. THOSE WINDS BARELY MOVING AT ALL. BUT TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S AT THE MOMENT IT’S 65 IN HARRISBURG AND LANCASTER, 70 ALREADY IN GETTYSBURG AND 68 IN CHAMBERSBURG. 12 HOUR FORECAST SHOWING A NICE DAY TODAY. WE WILL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES UP TO 76 HERE AT 5:00. AND THEN THEY WILL BACK OFF AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES, IT’S JUST GOING TO BE GETTING WARMER TODAY AND TOMORROW. SHOWERS RETURN LATE FRIDAY. STICK AROUND FOR PART OF THE DAY SATURDAY. MORE SUNSHINE THOUGH FOR YOUR SUNDAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MIKE. WALL STREET IS BACK UP AFTER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SENT NEW MESSAGES ABOUT ITS TRADE POLICY. NEWS EIGHT’S AMY LIU HAS MORE FROM WASHINGTON ON WHAT HAS CHANGED. DESPITE A PRESSURE CAMPAIGN TO LOWER INTEREST RATES AND PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTING THAT HE WOULD FIRE THE FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE DOES NOT PLAN ON DOING THAT. TRUMP ATTACKED FED CHAIR JEROME POWELL FOR PAUSING HIS PLAN TO CUT INTEREST RATES, SAYING HE WOULD FIRE POWELL IF HE WANTED TO. THAT CAUSED A STOCK MARKET SELL OFF EARLIER THIS WEEK, ONLY FOR THE MARKET TO REBOUND, PLUS SOME. AFTER CLARIFYING MORE YESTERDAY. BUT INVESTORS BELIEVE MORE MARKET SWINGS ARE COMING. THE PRESIDENT AND TREASURY SECRETARY, SCOTT BESSANT, APPEARING TO HAVE OPPOSITE MESSAGES ON CHINESE TARIFFS. BESSANT SAYING THAT THE ONGOING TRADE WAR IS, QUOTE, NOT SUSTAINABLE. WHILE TRUMP SAID HE’D REACH A DEAL QUICKLY, BRINGING THE FINAL RATE ON TARIFFS DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY FROM THEIR CURRENT 145%. NOW WE’RE GOING TO BE VERY NICE. THEY’RE GOING TO BE VERY NICE. AND WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT ULTIMATELY THEY HAVE TO MAKE A DEAL BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DEAL IN THE UNITED STATES. THE FUTURE OF THE U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMY IS NOW RELY ON PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRADE DECISIONS. THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND NOW SAYS THAT HIS TARIFFS WILL SLOW ECONOMIC GROWTH AROUND THE
