3:01 pm
we appreciate it. it's 3:00 p.m. here on the east coast where you are noon in las vegas and of course los angeles. folks, where a third straight day, l.a. county is in the grip of a massive deadly and in many cases still uncontained wildfire spreading all over. right now, what you see on the screen as you're looking live at smoke and flames rolling through the hills of pacific palisades in california. the latest numbers at least five people are confirmed dead, officials actually unfortunately expect that number to rise as cadaver dogs begin searching the burned out rubble of destroyed homes. all the deaths are from the eaton blaze which began tuesday at 6:20 p.m. in the alta dina. cal fire says from 6:20 p.m. by 8:00 p.m., the 10-acre blaze whipped by hurricane force winds rapidly spread to more than 400 acres. winds in the region right now much calmer than yesterday but
3:02 pm
still, gusting up to 80 miles per hour in some areas throughout the county. 179,000 people still under evacuation orders. more than 2,000 homes and businesses have been destroyed. we need to just stress this. no one remains untouched in some way by the grief spreading across southern border. on instagram yesterday, l.a. county district attorney nathan hochman gave an update to angelino's in front of what had been his sister jennifer's home, burned now entirely to the ground. coming up in a fox business exclusive, he and his sister will join us live not only to recount what happened but nathan will get us the latest on the looting situation and the severe punishments he says are coming looter's ways and you'll also hear from hollywood screen writer mark victor, co-writer of steven spielberg's poltergeist, so mark and his wife jan found out yesterday their home of 45 years and their daughter and
3:03 pm
son-in-law's home both burned to the ground. that's coming up just in two minutes, but the tragedy unfolding in los angeles comes as the nation marks a national day of mourning for president jimmy carter. the body of america's 39th president is right now being transported back to his home state of georgia after lying in state on capitol hill. he will be buried later today in plains, georgia. now, due to the ceremony, government offices and the stock market are closed. we should tell you that bond markets were open for a shortened session. they closed just about an hour ago after topping 4.7% yesterday, the highest in nine months, the 10-year treasury yield is now just slightly below that 4.688% keep in mind, when the bond and stock markets reopen tomorrow, we could see some major moves because at 8:30 a.m. eastern the labor department releases the december jobs report. economists are looking for the u.s. to have added 160,000 jobs during the month and the unemployment rate would
3:04 pm
remain at 4.2%. stock futures reopen in about three hours but cryptocurrencies, you know they never stop trading 24/7. bitcoin has now seen $15,000 off its 10 8,000 dollars high hit last month. we've got it right now at actually it's not even defending the 93,000 level. its fallen at 92, 056 down about 2.7%. etherium at 3,200 and xrp down 3.25%. back here live in las vegas, day three of the consumer electronic show, the world's largest consumer electronics show, team "clayman countdown" is now moved to the venetian, one of the most massive outposts of more than 2.5 million square feet of the shows tech displays. this is where the crazy kind of personal gadgets are like lenovo's new laptop. the first-ever rollable laptop is grabbing all of the press'
3:05 pm
attention. the president of international markets matt zelinski will demo the shape-shifting laptop in a fox business exclusive. about to roll that out and the ceo of bose, the company that created the first nose canceling headphones, that's coming up but let us get back to the tragedy unfolding around las vegas devastated by the ongoing wildfires this on your screen is an aerial view of the inferno that is still engulfing the pacific palisades region of california ripping through brush and trees before making its way tuesday to l.a. resident's homes. we can take an even higher picture. this is a shot from the noaa satellite system showing the massive blaze is well-visible from outer space. five major fires burning from the coast and the palisades inland, and the palisades fire the biggest still zero percent
3:06 pm
contained. same for eaton fire near pasadena the rapid spread of this catastrophe has left destruction in its wake. maybe we can take a drone view of the miles of los angeles homes that have been reduced to rubble. the cost of this catastrophe has reached stunning levels. accuweather now estimating the damages so far stand at between 52 to 5 # billion dollars. that would make this the most expensive wildfire in history. thousands and thousands of homes have literally been evaporated by the fire, but it's really important to note. each one tells a story. screen writer mark victor had to quickly evacuate tuesday. he just found out yesterday what happened to his palisades home of 45 years when a serve pro employee who got to victor's address sent this video. listen. >> mark and jan, unfortunately this is what's left.
3:07 pm
the safe is standing, as you can see. there's smoke coming out of it so i don't know if they got in or what but it's not looking good. i'm going to walk around a little bit of this debris and just see if there's anything that i can grab for you. unfortunately, this is left of what was your beautiful home. unbelievable. liz: we're joined now live by mark victor, who thankfully, along with his wife jan and adult children are all safe. thank you for joining us during this awful time. we really appreciate it, thank you. >> sure. happy to be here. for you, team clayman. liz: yeah, team "clayman countdown." we want to tell your story.
3:08 pm
we just showed what serve pro sent to you yesterday. what was that moment like when you received the video and watched it? >> well, initially, you're thinking and hoping, you know, not me, not us. it won't happen to us, and when you get it, it's a lot to digest. i probably couldn't take it all in. oddly, you start thinking about all of the items i didn't take and should have put in and for anybody whoever goes through any of these disasters, i certainly suggest you make a list way beforehand. the items that i miss the most are the photo albums and your entire life is in that house with all your memories to view and see. we got some valuables out, but
3:09 pm
there are things left behind that i would have liked my children and grandchildren to be able to have and see some day, to know who we were. liz: well, you were and are a very, very well-known screen writer. you wrote poltergeist for steven spielberg. i'm sure you had a lot of awards. what were you able to grab? >> well, i grabbed some paintings. we grabbed some jewelry. my thought process was more like oh, i've been, i had to pick once or twice before. our house is near the town. the fire department, you know, et cetera, and i didn't prepare for the worst. i just sort of did it more
3:10 pm
haphazardly and so it's everything from footages and athlete as a high school football player to posters, accolades, newspaper clippings, handwritten items from people like steven king, producers, directors. there's all kinds of stuff you collect over a career of 30-40 years, 50 years. then when you walk away, the first emotion is a little bit denial, then sinicism sort of, to my own mind joking around, well i've worked 50 years and now i have nothing. i have no clothes, no furniture,
3:11 pm
no house, and you move on to like everyone in this situation, still have a mortgage to adapt, what's next? where do i find housing? you know? you start that whole process because you have to take one step ahead of another, but what was lost in that house with all of my wife's family's things and ourselves, those things aren't ever going to be replaceable. you have the memories, but that stuff bothers you more than a piece of art or fancy vase or something like that. liz: mark, you still have a little bit of your humor. when i talked to you last night, i asked when you looked at the serve pro video, what did you note was still standing? it was really only two things. the washer and dryer.
3:12 pm
>> yes. well i thought the washer and dryer company should do an ad that they withstand the worst fire in the history of los angeles but the surrounding area looks and feels like we were in a war zone without bullets. everything is down to the ground. and humor helps get you through these things because you can't do much about anything else. i think that i went, i spent the rest of the afternoon with espresso martinis pondering what's next. liz: well you have your life. you have your kids. thank god for that and jan, we wish you and jan a speedy sort of future into the next stage and please keep us posted.
3:13 pm
thank you so much for joining us, mark. >> well, thank you. safety certainly is the priority, and we're very thankful for what we have, even in this mess. liz: bless you. thank you so much. folks we should tell you the california wildfires are pretty much an equal opportunity catastrophe. people are finding that multiple members of individual families have lost their homes while relatives have also been forced to evacuate and await the fate of their homes. the home of jennifer ham, the sister of newly-elected l.a. county district attorney nathan hochman, who had to himself evacuate his family home was engulfed tuesday in the pacific palisades wildfire. he took to instagram to detail the destruction in a video in front of his sister's former home. >> so i'm here in pacific palisades at the site of what
3:14 pm
used to be my sister's home. she's lived here for a while. a long time, with her family, and now this home, along with the homes on the street and this neighborhood are just gone. i've been here for over 60 years and i've not seen devastation like this in my lifetime. liz: joining us now live in a fox business exclusive is l.a. county d. a. nathan hochman and his sister jennifer ham. first of all our sympathies go out to your family for the loss you've endured. thank you so much for joining us. when did you realize you had to evacuate? >> the evacuation call came sort of started coming in late morning. you could see the fires on the hills quite clearly. we would stand on our roof as long, along with other neighbors, and we've been here before, so we were trying to
3:15 pm
evaluate in our situation personally i was with my two sons, a girlfriend and our dog, and our elderly next door neighbor, who was disabled. so the idea was to try and let local residents who really were running for their lives at that point out because there was a lot of congestion and from that point assess traffic and how to get out successfully and also deal with, if we had to, abandon our car, what we, we weren't in that situation because we had an elderly disabled person with us, so there was a lot to figure out and, you know, i would say we took the best part of the day to leave. we tried to be calm about the approach but the funny thing is is that you know, as a palisades resident of 15 years
3:16 pm
we've been here before, and we did not, we've always returned successfully thank god and this time, i think what i would say to anyone is pack as if you're not coming back. you don't ever expect that to be your reality. so we didn't do that. but we did get out safely and we were able to assist our neighbor and, you know, just one thing i'll add is that other palisades residents, we are a huge community of people who love each other and look out for each other and raise our kids there. it's that kind of community. our hearts are broken but i think that there's a sense of strength that comes from every single what's app group is just fired up right now, sending love and support and offering help. liz: sure, sure. nathan? why was it important for you to put out to the world that
3:17 pm
instagram of, you know, you have a very big job right now. we watched you earlier on your news conference talking about looters. you're going to take a very heavy hand when it comes to that, but maybe sharing, i guess, that it's affecting everybody including you and your family. >> liz, i thought it was very important to make it clear that i was there. i was bearing witness right in the middle of the fire zone that it affected my sister, her entire family. i personally had been evacuated along with thousands of others. there's over 180,000 people who have been evacuated in los angeles county and i want to also make clear to anyone who is thinking about taking advantage of it for their own personal illegal profit. those looters, those scammers, people who are going to prey on vulnerable people looking to
3:18 pm
rebuild their lives. they will actually be arrested. they will be prosecuted and we will seek maximum punishment against them. those people who want to take advantage of this tragedy are despicable and i want to say in fair warning out to them right now, so there's no misunderstanding about how they will be treated if and when they get caught, prosecuted and punished. liz: nathan, how many people have been arrested? the last number we heard was about 20 but i was looking at private security companies are desperately trying to defend neighborhoods, certainly in the palisades. in fact one guy i read about in "the l.a. times", he said that they chased away a thief on a moped, and watched another one walk into what was left in the house and steal a bag of toys from a christmas gift. this is horrible. i mean, you got all hands-on deck. >> you know the number is 20 and unfortunately it will increase. we fully expect there is a
3:19 pm
criminal out there, a criminal element out there that is looking at this as an opportunity. we just want to make sure they understand that the cost of this opportunity are going to be significant. the police have basically done an all hands-on deck approach. they have got detectives putting on uniforms right now to make sure they are patrolling the streets. they have asked for resources beyond this county and the resources are arriving. so they are going to do their best to protect us but if those cases land with the d. a.'s office as they will, we will prosecute them to the maximum extent possible. liz: nathan, to you and all of your team at the district attorney's office and all of the law enforcement firefighters our extreme thanks, jennifer thank you for joining us to tell us your story. we appreciate it. i know you're both incredibly busy. we're wishing you the best here
3:20 pm
in the aftermath of this and we want to let everybody know that fox corporation has just made a $1 million donation to the american red cross california wildfires relief efforts, continues to be an annual disaster giving program partner. here is how you can help and we do encourage you to do that. visit redcontract.org/foxforward or you can see the qr code on your screen. put your cell phone up to that and grab that image and hopefully you can help out in this sort of a situation. again markets are closed but we're coming right back live from the consumer electronics show with much more. stay tuned.

electronics show there is a trend that develops an last year it was very much everything electrified, like ev's but also, virtual reality headsets. the big things that wrap around. well guess what? we have a company here that is getting audio with virtual reality, but everything is shrinking. it's way less than the previous iterations of all of these vr headsets. let me introduce you to lyla schneider the bose ceo and the german giant and leader in audio. we're talking very small, hold this up. let's talk about this. >> this is great. we're so excited to partner with xreal. we think they have amazing technology and this is getting into a form factor us all could wear in our normal life so these glasses really need great audio and we were excited to partner with the team to bring great audio to an experience that deserves it. liz: the first iteration before you guys joined sold out. i think it sold to date something like half a million pairs of these. so what do you think your
3:36 pm
involvement and your audio is going to do for this new iteration? >> we know sound matters in a lot of experiences beyond just headphones and speakers and we want to make sure we're bringing our amazing technology to the places where sound matters. we think this is a great example of that and it only enhances the experience, so as they continue to make improvements in the ar and visual display bringing better audio only ensemble hanses that experience. liz: bose was the very first to create noise canceling headphones and earbuds so you guys are a leader in this area, but why ces? we've got a lot of crowds here obviously. we have expected to be 140,000 buyers, advertisers. do you see a sales bump in some of the new products that get released each year after ces? >> it's about a lot of things. we love coming to meet with our partners obviously we want to talk about our products but also learn about what everyone else is doing. it gives us a great opportunity to learn about places we might partner in the future but always
3:37 pm
happy to talk about our products and we get a lot of people excited. we have our open earbuds which we're really excited about. this is a product we launched in the last year. great new experience so you talked about noise canceling. this is almost the opposite. it's an open ear experience where i can hear what's happening around me but also listen to the sound track that i want. liz: turn your head so you can see. >> i always have the opportunity to listen to the music that matters to me, have a phone call, whatever but also i can hear what's happening around me. liz: bose is huge now, but you just made the acquisition of mackintosh and you're embedding a lot in top shelf car companies. in fact you have a whole lot of them just a few blocks away here at ces, and everybody from the porsche to the lambo, what is the next big important announcement from bose when it comes to audio? >> automotive is a huge part of it. we love the automotive experience a great opportunity to showcase our current technology in vehicles we have
3:38 pm
on the road today but also a little bit of a preview of what's to am could so we have a lot of great experiences we were sharing with our partners. liz: how much are the glasses? >> 499 for this version and the xreal 1 is 599. liz: the open earbuds? >> 299. great to have you. liz: lyla schneider of bose. guys this is called the smart mirror and we talked about age tech on the first day of ces. this is a mirror that basically you stand in front of, hi, how are you? will you demo this for us? what does it tell you i'm almost afraid to ask. it provides a 360-degree scan of your body and looks at the weight, sorry, heart, and lung health. you can even take an electrocardiogram and you stand on the base, so tilt down, stand on that base and it reads your health metrics and biomarkers. blood, heart, everything.
3:39 pm
blood pressure. then it tells you. it says good morning. you need to lose a few pounds and cut down on your sodium intake. something like that. for me it's sugar. speaking o of sodium intake, this is getting, i would say, arguably the most attention when it comes to personal devices here. this is called the smart spoon. it is an electric spoon and it's basically for the 90% of americans who eat too much sodium. what it does is you're eating low sodium products. it sends an electric current, a gentle one, not like jolting you but to your tongue which mimics and enhances the taste of sodium that isn't even there. costs about $127. not a vail about in the u.s. but they have a huge demo here which is hilarious. all these media showed up passing them out so people could try them and it's really definitely getting a lot of attention. up next, the largest laptop

international markets is here to show us. what is this? this is a rollable laptop. how does it roll? >> this is the first world's rollable laptop, aip c and if you think about it last year we were sitting here talking about the dawn of all things and this were in the middle of our second billion dollars in r&d on a.i. but we haven't stopped innovating around the form factor and this is a game changer. the think book gen 6 plus and the touch of a button, your screen size goes from a sleek and light 14-inch notebook to 16.7-inch display 50% more screen and i don't know about you but when i'm home i've got two monitors in my office and i travel i take a display and with this you don't need that. you can do multiple document viewing and collaboration open with document center and do lines and lines of code or spreadsheets. this is an absolute game changer so simple goes on sale in june for 3,499. liz: wait do it again that was funny. >> watch it go down and it rolls back into the base just
3:47 pm
like you said. liz: what about the a.i. component of this rollable laptop? what does that help you do? >> we have two different things. liz: i'll keep pressing this button. this one? >> yes, perfect. it has our smart agent basically a.i. now which is the local large language model that gets to know you personally so if you want to build a document, a presentation, it takes your photos your text everything you put into the machine privately and securely and can build tasks, documents and help you change the relationship with your technology. liz: press the button again. there it is. >> it's a game changer. liz: who needs this? >> there was a guy that travels 40 weeks a year it's for me. liz: how much does it weigh? >> just over six pounds i believe we'll have to fact check that one. liz: it's not light. it's not thin. >> i wouldn't call it thin and light but it's thin and beautiful and hell of a lot lighter than if carrying a pc and display in your laptop bag.
3:48 pm
liz: everybody is putting a.i. on it. i remember last year you told us that lenovo was committing about $1 billion now has that number changed? >> we're on our second billion. last year was a fantastic year for the pc business. we're number one in the world but we widen the margin taking an even larger leadership and if you think about it a lot happens off the back of our think pad which is the number one business selling pc in the world. this is the latest and its think pad, you'll notice a couple different things. i know you love the think pad, it's not black and there is no track point so this appeals to a much more modern audience and with the aura edition that's a partnership with intel this has very specific exclusive a.i. features built in. liz: can i ask you about intel? you've had a long time partnership with them. the core chip is it here? they had a very rough year and the stock is down more than 57% year-over-year. what's happening over there? and are you turning to nvidia?
3:49 pm
you have a great relationship with nvidia as well. >> look we have relationship with intel, nvidia, amd, qualcomm and others but at the end of the day the world needs competition and innovation and the world needs a strong intel because that drives all this innovation and competitiveness that you see in the market so it's good so we're committed to the intel partnership and it's a matter of time before they turn it around. liz: great to see you. lenovo, i'm going to press this one more time because it's just so much fun. >> have at it. liz: roll with it, baby. good to see you thank you so much. from rolling to skiing. wait until you see the ski mode. check this out. hello. >> hi. liz: okay, this is for those of you who overshoot the lift line and you get a side step all the way up. pan down here and you can see. let's talk a little bit about this , animate that. press that button. so, it basically turns your skiis into mountaineering skiis
3:50 pm
and like an e-bike and shoves you back up. you can take the tighter shot so you can see exactly what they do, and it's high-performance. electric skiis they power you up to 80% faster and reduce your physical exertion by 30%. read, for lazy people. who go by accident get into a little bit of trouble. it's great to have you here and the price? do we have a price? >> it's going to retail, the whole system -- liz: the outfit your skiis with this great to see you thank you very much. the e-skimo. i'm not sure charlie gasparino skiis but you've got a big story right now where you now have a huge asset manager at the moment that's going to take the biggest stake in is it bitcoin? okay, charlie is not there. let's, okay.
3:51 pm
oh, gaspo's mia. maybe we'll get him in the chair. let's talk about bitcoin defending the 93,000 level and now it's almost below 92000 right now. we've got it at, there it goes. 91, 992 remember, the recent high was 10 8,000 its been a multi-day sell-off but the crypto has now seen about $300 billion knocked off, i guess you'd call it the market cap or the price of bitcoin, since the start of this year; however, we should tell you it is still up 36% since election day when donald trump, the self-proclaimed crypto president, won back the oval office. what is next for the price of bitcoin and listen, let's not guess here. we've got business leaders who are majorly involved here. exodus movement is a crypto wallet maker and in december they uplisted on the new york stager sibling market, and joining us in a fox business exclusive, ceo jp richardson.
3:52 pm
give it to me. i mean, it's now fallen below 92000. can you give me a sense of where you think it goes next and what that catalyst will be? >> oh, absolutely. i think we're going to see crypto and bitcoin specifically. it's going to in 2025 it's going to continue to go up. i'm really bullish because of the incoming administration. the bitcoin etf, there's a lot of excitement that's happening in this industry. liz: okay, so can you tell me exactly what it is your company does that is different from what everybody else out there offers? >> yeah, absolutely. so exodus is a self-custodial wallet, an app to manage a portfolio of cryptocurrency and when i say wallet that can be kind of confusing to some but really when you think about like the wallet that you might have in your pocket, you have ownership and custody of that money and that's what exodus
3:53 pm
empowers you to do. the reason this is so important is because we've seen so many exchange hacks out there and so when you have your money on an exchange, you put your money at risk and so exodus helps empower consumers to take ownership and control of their digital assets. liz: okay crypto wallets are the epitome of only you have the way to enter it correct? it's pretty fascinating and that scares some people. why should they not be worried if people are concerned about forgetting their password things like that. >> absolutely and look this technology and this industry is still very young and very new, but there's a lot of companies out there, us included, that are really simplifying this technology so that consumers don't have to worry about things like what you're talking about as a 12-word secret phrase. we removed that complexity so we're making this easy for mainstream consumers.
3:54 pm
liz: and jp, you donated to president-elect trump's inaugural fund about a million i believe between you and your company. what do you hope to see from the new administration? >> i think that they are going to come in and create a council of advisors to help influence policy in america and i'm super-excited about that. i'm also really excited for the strategic national bitcoin reserve. i think that's amazing for the industry so there's great things that will happen with this incoming administration. liz: jp, thank you so much. we appreciate it. jp richardson. our next gadget we have to show you from skiing to golf. it's basically a golf coach called the autonomous golf trolley that follows you around with a personal coach on board, gps equipped and it navigates the course and does exactly what you need to do only it doesn't criticize you or
3:55 pm
call you out for cheating. i'm going to say something to it and let's see if it follows me. come to me, please. and look whs happening. it follows you. it will know once you pull out a golf club, it knows which one -- it knows which one you pulled out, and you show the golf club to the camera on this and say you pull out a putter, i don't even know because i don't play golf. say you pull out a putter, it'll see that and then lead you to the putting green wherever you need to government it's pretty, pretty unbelievable. should i try that again? hey ixi, come to me please. there's a lot of husbands who need this. just kidding. all right, that's the ixi and by tha little bit more so, i mean,
3:56 pm
this is -- okay you can stop now and don't criticize my swing. okay, blackrock, charlie appeared and he has a story about how blackrock has become the sponsored and initiative and they're also become ago big -- the biggest bitcoin holder; right, charlie? >> yeah, two to double barreled blackrock segment here and blackrock is the biggest asset manager was a leader in esg investing for many years. it is backing away from that, and one of the big movers backing away is a story that we forshadowed on the claman countdown a couple days ago but can confirm is happening. blackrock is leaving a major esg sustainable energy coalition established by the un. un asset managers initiative and it is out of that as of today. we've obtained the letter and the letter is written by
3:57 pm
blackrock management and points out it's leaving this coalition for a lot of reasons, including legal liability, liz. this is the fascinating part. these coalitions have been attacked by a lot of politicians, particularly on the right for being a collusion effort to enact esg and essentially to stop oil exploration. that's essentially a corporate action to prevent companies that are oil companies, to stop drilling and they've been attacked by republicans, lot of republicans say this is anticompetitive and blackrock cite that had in the letter today by fox business and jp morgan and there's a few asset managers left and they're considering leaving as well. esg invest sergeant on the ropes
3:58 pm
right now. it was once a huge thing back in 2019, 2020. it is now donald trump is against it and joe biden was for it but there's a new sheriff in town, his name is donald trump and he's already causing changes. one of the changes that donald trump is causing, liz, the transition here is being very pro crypto, and blackrock has jumped into that. we understand right now, blackrock is one of the if not the biggest and 60 billion and the biggest institutional holder of bitcoin is blackrock. this is essentially a couple years after larry fink said it's not a great thing and he's all in and blackrock is all in as
3:59 pm
