it'll even try and get you

some of your money back. >> erin burnett out front weeknights at seven on cnn. >> good morning everyone. welcome to cnn this morning. it is sunday, january 12th. i'm amara walker i'm victor blackwell. >> good to be with you. thank you for joining us. and we of course, are following the new developments in those devastating fires burning through california. the death toll growing. and officials say they're concerned the fires will do the same. we're live in one of the hardest hit areas ahead. >> president biden is heading into his final full week in office. the steps he's taking this week to try to cement his legacy before president-elect trump returns to the white house and senate confirmation hearings will begin this week for some of president elect trump's cabinet picks, including some of his most controversial nominees, how they're expected to pla ey out

and what it could tell us about the party's allegiance to trump. and could jeff bezos blue origin be on the verge of challenging spacex's dominance? the new rocket that will serve as a crucial test for blue origin in just under 24 hours. well, new this morning, at least 16 people are confirmed dead in california's two largest >> they're not sure what to do next. >> it's like your house been worked out we buy and stomped on and thrown away. >> and you're just trying to find a piece to put it back together. >> two doors down, the house is

gone. one door up. the house is gone. the house above me is gone. the house is across the street. we're burning all day. >> los angeles police chief announced that the atf will take the lead on the new investigative task force created to find out what started the palisades fire. meanwhile, police are cracking down on looters in mandatory evacuation areas. the los angeles police department says it arrested seven people in two days, including two looters who pretended to be firefighters. now on the weather front, rain could be on the way, but not before stronger winds. firefighters hope this shift in winds could push the fire back toward land, actually back onto itself. areas that have already burned. cnn's julia vargas jones joins us now from los angeles. so what are the firefighters hoping to accomplish today good morning. >> victor. look, they're trying to work within this window before those winds come back up. we're hearing

overhead. still lots of aircraft in the air. obviously, they're not doing water or fire retardant drops at this hour, but they are keeping an eye very closely on this fire right now where we are here. this is mandeville canyon. yesterday we watched as the hills behind us burned. and behind me, just the proof of all of that hard work. the neighborhood that we were afraid could be touched by the eastern flames of the palisades fire seems to have been left untouched, at least for now. the fire moving, like you said. back onto itself. we're hoping that this means that that containment number can still go a little bit higher still today. before the santa ana winds pick back up in the coming days. again, there's a lot of crews here on the ground from different states. we're seeing fire trucks around here from nevada, from northern california. now, troops from mexico also coming in. that governor gavin newsom, welcome into the state to help fight this both on the ground and

from above. that help is much needed, victor. just in these critical hours before those winds come back. >> and, julia, if you will, could you update us on these evacuation orders and which neighborhoods are now affected? >> yeah, we're still 100,000 people under evacuation orders now. some some of them have been lifted in parts in the northern part. so again, the geography of los angeles on the other side of the hills here we have the san fernando valley, encino, the town of encino that has seen a lift on the evacuation orders. and just a reminder, you know, authorities are saying, please do listen to those alerts that come to you on your phones. a few days ago, we had a snafu with those alerts where erroneous alerts were sent to people that did not need to evacuate. and that has created a little bit of skepticism from the population and those alerts. but they're urging people to please heed them and pay attention to them. they said they are investigating.

how is it that those erroneous alerts went out, but that for now, though, they are working fine and people should listen to them? amber. >> all right, i'll take it. julia vargas jones. thanks so much. so many people. and we've shown you some of the video of lost everything in the fire, some of their possessions are irreplaceable. >> georgie and leonardo antenori evacuated their home in pacific palisades on the first morning of the fire. and then hours later, their home and everything in it was gone, including their late daughter's ashes. >> we had a daughter 15 years ago. she'd be 15 and she passed away when she was one, and her ashes were in our home and. i mean, they're gone, like every memory, every piece of physical evidence of her life is just gone. and that hurts. i feel numb right now because i feel like i've cried all of my emotions, but i've just been. it's just been. the prices of insurance just got so high.

and, you know, we were still trying to recover from, you know, the last four years of just everything changing after covid that we thought, you know, we'll recover fast and and then we'll just pick up our insurance again and everything will be fine. we never, ever, in a hundred million years, thought that our house would go up in flames. >> yeah, this this doesn't usually happen when there's a fire. it's usually more up north, and it never really. it doesn't reach the community. and palisades and. yeah, it's never happened. i was talking to george's dad, and, um, he's lived here his whole life and since the 60s. and it's never, never happened before. >> you know, um, we should be careful. and i had to catch myself yesterday. and as we're talking to people who have lost their homes and their belongings and saying that you have your life, they're just things, they can be replaced because first, we don't know what it feels like to lose every tangible part of your

life. and there are some things that cannot be replaced. they are tangible, but you'll never get them again. and with their daughter's ashes and the photographs. so that is just a reminder as we try to to soothe people and reassure them, let's let's be careful with how we we do that. all right. let's talk about weather now. and the firefighters, they got a brief break from the winds yesterday, but they are expected to pick up again. meteorologist derek van dam joining us now with the forecast. um, a break now. but winds potentially picking up santa ana winds. >> and they are pushing around these embers in very dry vegetation. a tinderbox. think about it like this. they've only received a three hundredths of an inch of rain since october, when their water year actually begins. so representative of this, i brought a cup of water, died. some of the water here. think. don't think about this as volume. think about this as depth. so that's the amount of rain that they've received so far. they should have received

over 4.5in. this should be spilling out. and over this cup of water again, representative of just the little amount, the lack of rain that los angeles has received since the beginning of the year. so very dry. and the santa ana winds are causing this havoc. we have critical fire conditions that are extended through the week. the fire danger threat right through wednesday. the winds now offshore. but i want to advance this graphic and i want to show you just near pacific palisades, where one of the largest fires is burning out of control, an onshore component could take some of those embers and move them around into areas that have not have already been burned. so we're actively monitoring for large fires. but let's move into palisades and get specific because this is important information. the burned area represented in the orange, the pink shading. that is a mandatory evacuation order. the yellow is evacuation warning. look how this is encroaching on 405 on the western side that is brentwood, the neighborhood of brentwood on the other side of the 405. this is ucla. so we're showing

you just how close the evacuation orders and warnings are coming and just how close the palisades fire is from reaching this very densely populated area. is there any rain in the forecast? not necessarily over the next seven days, but there are some hints by next weekend, maybe we get a few drops of rain from the sky. >> i'm sure the firefighters will hold on to that maybe. thanks so much, derek. >> joining us now, chris harvey with the california department of forestry and fire protection. chris, thank you for joining us at such an early hour. let's talk about containment and progress on saturday. last report palisades fire 11% contained eaton fire 15% contained the other two major fires closer to full containment. have you been able to make progress overnight at great containment? >> yes. as some of your previous guests mentioned, you know, we do have had some cooperation from the weather the last couple of days that

has helped. however, you know, the conditions still remain very volatile up in those areas. and so we are pushing, you know, to try and get as much done as possible with the return of these strong winds and red flag conditions through wednesday. >> but those numbers hold. >> yeah. what i have right now is just over 23,000 acres. i'm assigned to the palisades fire specific. so 23,000 acres, as was stated, about 100,000 that are still under evacuation and about 11% containment. that's accurate. >> is the hope and expectation that the winds will shift from the mountains towards the water, so that you do see these fires, you know, basically go back towards, you know, areas that have already been burned. >> that's correct. yes. you know what they call the traditional santa ana wind pattern is blowing from north to south. and so under the best possible circumstances, you would have the fire blowing back to the southward back into the areas that have already been burned, or as we call it, you know, blowing back into the

black area and not continuing to burn into the green area. mhm. >> so the last time at least, we spoke with cal fire that the palisades fire was approaching and you bel-air, brentwood and the getty center area. what is the threat this morning. is it as um immediate as it was several hours ago. >> well what ended up happening was there was a little bit of a weather shift. the wind was coming out of the west, and that drove that fire to the eastward. so that's what that's what caused those evacuation orders to then be pushed out for that west side of the 405, and then just south of 101. as the fire continued to move in a northward and eastward direction. um, today is really going to be critical in terms of the air operations and the operations on the ground to try and stop those fires from any further northward or eastward spread. but, you know, everyone's got their work cut out for you. i

will say this was mentioned earlier. you know, two of the major incidents down here are the kenneth fire and the hurst fire. and those do have a much larger percent of containment. and so you're going to see crews that will be released from those incidents that can then be deployed to the palisades fire. and then also, as was previously mentioned, we do have fire crews coming in from all over the western united states, as well as some mexican fire crews that are coming up as well. so a lot of resources are being added to the palisades fire to to ensure you know that it doesn't continue to spread to the north and to the east. >> just to be clear, the 405 freeway remains open. right. and also, chris, if you could walk us through just and describe the work that is being done right now on the ground in terms of, you know, digging these lines and what have you. >> yeah. so, um, let's talk about just west of 405 there i was up in the mandeville canyon area all day yesterday. that's a very active area of the fire. um, you know, i saw a lot, a lot of resources that were

pre-positioned in that neighborhood. a lot of, you know, almost every drive we had a fire engine in it. um, the difficulty up there is there's a lot of very steep terrain with some difficult access. so there was also a lot of a large number of hand crews in there yesterday to get into the places where wheeled vehicles could not go. um, the water supply up there looked good. i saw many, many fire engines that were hooked to hydrants that were charged. and then the other thing that we're able to do up in those neighborhoods is the houses that have swimming pools. a lot of the crews, as they go in, have portable gasoline powered pumps. they set those up right on the edge of the swimming pool, drop one hose into the drafting side, and then now they've got an additional water source they can draft out of these swimming pools and use that water to fight fire as well. >> chris, last question for you here as the winds will shift potentially, and send the fire back into neighborhoods that have already burned, what do you say to those families? and we spoke with one today that are going back now to these

neighborhoods to see what is left. should they stay away? how should they navigate this, especially if they may be disconnected from those alert systems that are based on proximity? >> yeah, we you know, we certainly understand the desire for people to go back into the area. you know, they want to check on their homes, if possible. they may be looking, you know, if the homes are still standing, they need to get medications. sometimes they're looking for heirlooms that may have been left behind or even pets, unfortunately. so we certainly understand the desire to return to those areas. i do know that the national guard and law enforcement are still being very strict at the roadblocks in terms of who's being allowed to be let in, and so i would just say that, you know, like anything on these incidents, vigilance and, and care is going to be required from these, from these folks to just be very aware of the changing nature of these incidents and how suddenly they they might, you know, be called upon to evacuate the area again and just be very aware of that.

>> well, we really appreciate you joining us during this extremely challenging and busy time. chris harvey, thank you for all that you do and appreciate it. and for more information on how you can help california wildfire victims, you can go to cnn.com/impact. >> tomorrow, president biden kicks off his final week as the leader of the free world president of the united states. the political legacy he'll leave behind, and his last actions before president-elect donald trump. just one week from tomorrow. >> and after losing the white house and senate majority in 2024, democrats are strategizing how to shape the party for new leadership. what candidates who hope to become the dnc chair need to address to move the party forward. >> and it's been a long time in development, but now it looks like elon musk's spacex could meet its first challenger, jeff bezos blue origin will go inside the billionaire space race later.

contained, but it is moving east toward brentwood and other neighborhoods. the palisades, eaton, hurst and kenneth fires have spread to more than 38,000 acres combined. president biden has a pair of speeches planned as he heads into his final full week in office. the speeches will cap off biden's 50 years in politics. he's likely to focus on what the white house sees as achievements, both at home and abroad. >> we got a preview on friday as the president celebrated a positive jobs report. his administration is the only one in american history to see new jobs created every single month of his four year term. cnn's betsy klein joins us now from the white house. so let's talk about the president's schedule this week. we know about these two big speeches. what else do we expect? what else is possible? >> right. well, victor, a very busy week ahead for president biden. his final full week in office as he has a pair of major speeches designed to both shore up his legacy while also capping off that 50 year career

in public service, starting off with monday at the state department, where he will deliver a major speech on foreign policy. now, this is a bookend speech to a speech he gave laying out his foreign policy back in 2021, returning to the state department four years later to talk about some of the progress he's made, as well as his efforts to shore up those key alliances abroad. now, he will also take aim at trump, one source telling us he will talk about how he is handling the next administration, quote, a stronger hand than he inherited. next up, on wednesday, the president will deliver a farewell address to the nation from the oval office at 8 p.m. that is his fifth and final oval office address. the last time, of course, as he laid out his rationale for dropping out of the presidential race back then. but now an opportunity to detail some of his achievements in office, what we'll be watching for, and what we don't know is whether the president will hold that traditional, time honored end of term news conference. the president, back in has only really lagged behind his modern

predecessors in terms of press conferences. and he has the last time he took questions from reporters in a dedicated news conference setting was july 11th. so a lot of questions for him. we'll see if he does that. we'll also be watching whether he uses that presidential pardon power for any last minute pardons or commutations. a lot of questions, as he has said, that he is willing leaving to leave the door open, to maybe issuing some preemptive pardons. we'll be watching that quite closely. of course, all of this, as he is still governing, he is monitoring that federal response to these devastating wildfires in california. and we'll be watching to see how he hands that off to president elect trump in the coming days. and finally, all of this comes as the president eulogized president jimmy carter just a few days ago. he talked about how carter, in his post-presidency, established a model by making a powerful difference as a private citizen. so we'll be watching closely what kinds of hints he gives us as to how he intends to spend his post-presidency. biden, for his part, telling reporters earlier this week that he does not intend to be

out of sight or out of mind. victor and amara walker betsy klein for us at the white house. >> thank you so much. let's bring in our white house reporter at politico. daniel lippman. daniel, good morning to you. and let's start with this wednesday, oval office address by president biden. this interesting variable, of course, we've seen farewell addresses from presidents before. obviously over the, um, over the years. this is unique because his successor is his predecessor. how do we expect that will play in. >> yeah, he was really hoping that one of his legacies would be to get donald trump out of politics forever when he beat him in 2020, and people expected him to be a bridge to a future candidate. and so they were surprised when he ran for reelection in the first place. but i think he he may not contend with how trump is coming back, but he's going to say that historians will judge his presidency over a long time period. but he himself has admitted that he is not

someone, you know who is. some of his policy accomplishments are not affecting voters in their day to day lives. and so he's hoping that trump is not going to tear up all parts of his legislative accomplishments. yeah. >> so we'll see how the president deals with this transition back to trump. but we saw from the vice president, she posted on social media a photograph from jimmy carter, president jimmy carter's funeral, where a lot of people noticed who's not in this photograph now. was this intentionally cropped to keep the trumps out of the photograph and include all of the other presidents, vice presidents and spouses? we don't know. but what do we know about the engagement between vice president harris and president trump? is it exclusively the debate and the concession call? >> we have not seen any indications that trump is asking for advice from harris. it kind of that when she cropped that out, it kind of reminded me of high school

antics where, hey, i don't want to put this person. i have a frenemy with in a photo. and so you have to wonder whether she approves every picture like that. and you also, i was curious, what would it be if a fly on the wall between the conversation between vice president pence and donald trump, since they really do not have a good relationship as well. but in the spirit of bipartisanship, everyone was shaking hands and even obama was having some smiles with donald trump at that funeral. >> yeah, we didn't see that. on the behalf of the vice president, let's talk about the week ahead and confirmation hearings. first up tuesday and the one so many people will be watching is the confirmation of pete hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense. a few weeks ago, his nomination was really tenuous. are there still enough republicans to tank that nomination? is it

seen now as probable? >> it's not seen as probable that they've done vote counts, that a lot of these republican senators, they did not want to face the wrath of trump world, which joni ernst kind of flavored. you know, she saw how trump world turned against her when she was saying, hey, this is unacceptable behavior. but more broadly, a lot of democratic and some republican senators are saying, hey, we want to see these fbi background check reports on pete hegseth. so far, they've only been shared with the top members of the committee evaluating him, the armed services committee, they haven't been shared more widely, and even the background checks are getting criticism because they didn't interview some key leaders of veteran organizations. pete hegseth ran, and he was accused of financial mismanagement there. and when you have a huge pentagon budget of hundreds of billions of dollars, people are saying, hey, why didn't the fbi interview those folks? it reminds me of how brett

kavanaugh's fbi investigation wasn't very comprehensive either. >> hmm. let's talk about the politics of the firefight. president elect trump has posted on social media. we put it up. the fires are still raging in l.a. the incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. they just can't put out the fires. what's wrong with them? california's governor, gavin newsom, is also called trump delusional and ignorant on the issue. i mean, in a week, this federal response will be led by the new president, president trump. how much does this bickering suggest a shift in federal approach to the response? or is it just social media back and forth? >> it may be just social media tweets where they're kind of they have better they should have better things to do than just attacking each other on social media, because behind the scenes, newsom and trump have worked well together, although, of course, they have

lots of history. remember, newsom's ex-wife dated don junior, kimberly guilfoyle, and now she's going to greece. so out of sight, out of mind. but i don't think trump wants to be accused of politicizing the disaster response like he was last time with some, you know, wildfires in california where he was accused of kind of trying to withhold aid because he knew california was democratic. but i think because of how vast the scale is, he doesn't want to be like george w. bush. after hurricane katrina in terms of not having a great federal response. and of course, there's lots of republicans in california as well that have been affected, especially in those wealthy areas. >> daniel lippman thanks. >> all right. still to come, we're going to go back to california, where the death toll in those fires has now climbed to 16. >> the headwinds that firefighters are facing. that's ahead. >> the whole story with

we're in mandeville canyon at the eastern edge of the palisades fire. i hadn't seen that before. we had two different helicopters soaring over this canyon behind me and making drops on what still at least smoldering structures and trees in this very residential neighborhood not too far from the 405 freeway that cuts los angeles north to south, not too far from the iconic getty center, one of l.a .'s most famous cultural landmarks. this is the battle that they've been fighting for at least 24 hours now, trying to save this neighborhood and trying to make use of this window of time that they have before those santa ana winds pick back up and make this battle even more difficult. >> and, julia, as you were saying, officials are also battling looters and misinformation. so much so that they actually had to put up a

website to basically fact check this misinformation and disinformation. >> yeah. amara, two of those things. so one of them, the looters situation, people have been arrested for that. there were people that even two of those arrests, people that had been pretending to be firefighters to get into these neighborhoods. we heard from authorities that those people will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, that they will be taking these charges very seriously, but also, look, the misinformation aspect has been a difficulty for the city and the county to counter as their own alert system had a big error that sent alerts to people all over the city that did not need to evacuate. they're saying they are investigating that and that they're urging people to listen to those evacuation orders, that they are correct, and to check that website you mentioned to make sure that they are looking at official information for what are

>> right. so this is a big deal, a big step for blue origin, jeff bezos blue origin was started about 20 years ago, around the same time as spacex by elon musk and elon musk and spacex. of course, they've been routinely launching falcon nine falcon heavies, recovering first stage boosters. so in a way, blue origin is playing catch up. and this is a big deal. this is their first orbital rocket, the new glenn. and it's been in development for quite a while. so it will be exciting to see how it goes. now it took spacex many, many, many tries before they successfully recovered their first stage booster. and so blue origin is going to try this on their first flight test. so we'll see how it goes. it'll be interesting to watch. >> and again about this being such a big deal and the fact that, you know, this rocket, or at least blue origin is really going to be a major competition to elon musk. talk to us about how, you know, that's probably good for us, right?

>> oh, absolutely. competition is good. it keeps everyone sharp, keeps everyone on their game. it keeps people from being complacent. right. and so then always good to have an alternative provider. spacex has been has brought launch costs down dramatically. what used to cost somewhere in the 150 to $250 million range for a rocket to launch a satellite. if you use a reused booster, that cost is around 35 million now. and so if you bring in blue origin with a semi-reusable rocket as competition, that will guarantee that we all get the the users, that is, get the lowest possible prices and the highest price possible qualities. and so it'll be good to have a second alternative provider to the fully expendable market that has been dominating for decades. >> yeah, we don't know if this will be successful, but if it is, can you tell us what we will see when liftoff. liftoff happens? >> sure. so you'll see a spectacular launch, as always, from any rocket. you'll see

stage separation after probably around 2.5 minutes or so. and the upper stage and the payload will continue uphill, as we say, into space, into orbit. and then you'll see that first stage booster come back. and, you know, you've seen this numerous times with falcon nine, falcon heavy, they'll do the boost back. and actually you even saw it with starship, the very first flight test of the starship super heavy. uh, it was also recovered successfully. so hopefully you'll see a burn back. it'll come down and the engines will relight, or at least some of the first stage engines, and it will settle gently, hopefully onto the recovery ship. and if they're successful, it'll be a big deal because this is the first time they're flying this rocket. so fingers crossed. >> yeah. fingers crossed. there is though, just in case a self-destruct mechanism. >> that's true. all rockets that launch certainly from from u.s. soil, have a built in range safety pack, basically explosive charges that destroy

the vehicle if it's going off course, malfunctioning and heading towards populated centers or, you know, outside of predefined ranges that's operated by the u.s. air force down there, or i guess space force now down in florida, uh, where this launch is taking place. >> i do want to ask you, leroy, before we go about this planet parade that we're expecting, it's obviously going to be a treat for so many people. i understand on january 21st, we can expect to see several planets lined up in the night sky. some are calling it a planet parade. as i said, what can you tell us about that and how can we see it? >> sure. yeah, absolutely. so, you know, of course, all the planets in our solar system are in different orbits. and so they're, you know, going at different radial velocity components. that is, they only line up every now and then. right? so for example, the earth and mars line up around every two and a half years. you know, we're pretty much, you know, at the closest points of

our orbits where that would be the time to try to travel to or from mars. right. and so this is kind of a neat thing where you have these different orbits all kind of lining up with several planets are going to be more or less in a line, and they should be visible in a clear, clear sky. if you're away from light pollution and it'll just look like a line of of stars. right. and i'm sure there are many apps out there you can use to help you find these planets, and it should be pretty cool to see. >> yeah, we have a few apps already, and i'm sure my kids will be excited to see that on january 21st. leroy chiao, it's always great to see you. thank you. >> all right. the countdown to new orleans and super bowl 59 has begun. and it started with a couple of statement wins in the wild card round. coy wire is here with highlights. that's next this park changed my life. >> superman crazy. just that simple little thing over the horse. >> chris wanted to change the world. >> people are literally walking because of him.

passing touchdowns on the night. call him joystick jackson because he's straight out of a video game, ducking and dodging, then dumping the ball to justice hill. touchdown 21 nothing at halftime. and then derrick henry, all 250 pounds of him all but sealing it in the third turn. 31 last week. but he still runs away from guys 50 pounds lighter than him. two touchdowns for henry. franchise playoff record 186 yards rushing baltimore wins 2814. here's jackson on what it's like watching derrick henry run. >> listen, it looked like a movie clip. like. you know, when he's like, i'm going to give you watch the movie cars a little bit too old to watch cars. >> but anyway, for kids i was a kid. >> when i watch kids, i have kids. >> i was a kid when i watched cars. >> that's all i'm saying. you know, when, uh, when lightning mcqueen just flying, flashing past, and then it's like, choo choo. that's how derrick looked. he was running past, and all those guys just. it looked. it looked like a movie, bro. i'm not going to lie to you, but i'd rather be watching

it than being on the opposite side of the ball, i know that i love that. >> all right. the texans are also moving on to the divisional round after beating a mudhole in the chargers. c.j. stroud showing up against the nfl's best scoring defense, throwing for 282 yards, leading his team on a 99 yard touchdown drive in the final minute of the first half, taking the lead. but this game was all about houston's defense. chargers quarterback justin herbert threw just three interceptions all season. the texans intercepted him four times in this game, including that pick six by eric murray late in the third. then in the fourth, the chargers score maybe making a late surge. nope. on a rope. the extra point is blocked. d'angelo ross picks it up. takes it the other way. special teams putting up two more points for houston as they dominate all three phases of the game, winning in a blowout 32 to 12. now we do have three more playoff games tonight, including those buffalo bills. victor shaw found a hat big enough for us,
