performer overnight, the shanghai composite in china down one and a third%, hong kong down 1%. joining the conversation former new york state homeland security advisor michael balboni the lonski group founder john lonski in fox business cheryl casone. "mornings with maria" is live right now. we kick it off with breaking news this morning. ten people are dead and more than 10000 buildings damaged or destroyed as a los angeles wildfire is still burning up the region a new fire in san fernando valley prompting more evacuation orders this morning firefighters beginning can to contain the policies fire which scorched 20000 acres so far, they have contain the fire by 6% containment so far what's been destroyed is the same size as new york city. 20 looters have been arrested in l.a. county for stealing and

devastated residents district attorney nathan hochman responding. watch was mimicked they will be invested and prosecuted maximum punishment against him. those people that wanted take advantage of the tragedy are despicable. i want to say in fair warning right now so there's no misunderstanding about how they will be treated. >> robert ray is live right now in malibu with the very latest where it looks unrecognizable. >> good morning. indeed smoke-filled air in the pacific coast highway in front of me, the pacific ocean behind me and you see the ruins, structures of beautiful place, malibu a gorgeous area of the united states and it is now in ruin. over 100 structures as you said in your intro destroyed

many of them never to be salvaged again these are family homes and businesses in the los angeles area, the mountainside, santa monica mountains ride ahead of me on the other side another fire broke out last night and authorities have arrested someone to the potential looking into arson unfortunately. where i'm standing inward looking at the visuals from the area the palisades fire which is still burning around 20000 acres that are scorched thousands of structures that are in ruin and neighborhoods taken down decimated by the winds in the higher. malibu the same situation, reinforcement and resources are being brought in today, national guard from the ground in the air to fight the fires. historic l.a. county this particular fire policies will go down as the largest in the los angeles area. we've been talking to people weatherby residents for first

responders but let's listen to what one first responder battalion chief told us about the complexities of the fires. this is different than the rest because the santa ana winds are so extreme and so strong gusts up to 80 or 90 miles per hour with the santa ana event say that 40 miles per hour consistently. it was hurricane force winds last night whom. brutal, the winds thank fully have died down this morning they activated again last night. clearly not hurricane force winds but that sent embers and it smoke-filled in the hills which we went up to a couple hours ago, no communication which is why were not bringing new life pictures from up there. on top of that the dangers are abundant, power lines down your rocks off the hills letter down, structures are destroyed and officials moving in and out with the sirens as the smoke

continues to move up and down the pch. it is overwhelming to be honest with you, firefighters still continue, 35000 acres have burned those numbers will continue to go up. if there's any silverlining were not going to have the intense hurricane force winds over the course of the next few days. were not out of the woods by any means as the winds will kick up from time to time over the next few days. next week we may be in another situation on tuesday into wednesday where we could see 50 mile-per-hour winds which could cause more problems. a lot of the questions are being asked residents are very frustrated, a lot of people wanting answers to exactly how all of the spiral out of control and as i stand here in the darkness and the fires continued to rage in the battle continues underground with brave men and women. back to you.

maria: thank you very much, robert ray president trump ripping into california gavin newsom and l.a. mayor karen bass. watch. >> i think that gavin is largely incompetent. i think the mayor is largely incompetent and probably both of them are stone cold incompetent. what they've done is terrible. maria: mayor bass is getting defensive and skirting reported questions she did this yesterday when pressed about her response. watch. >> we did not see a single fire engine we watched as good samaritans guided traffic there was fear and a lot of confusion. you were out of the country at the time. what explains the lack of preparation and rapid response. >> let me say first and foremost. my number one focus in the focus of all of us here with one voice

we have to protect lives and save lives and we have to save homes. rest assured, let me finish. rest assured when that is done and we are safe and lives have been saved and homes have been saved we will absolutely do an evaluation to look at what worked, what did not work and to correct or hold accountable anybody or department or individual et cetera. maria: and non- answer from the mayor who is absent when this all started. a heartbroken california mother confronted gavin newsom about the lack of preparation. take a look. >> governor i live here, that was my daughter's school, tell me what i'm going to do. i'm not going to hurt him. >> attracted to the president to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter. >> can i hear your call, i do

not believe it. >> i've tried five times. >> why are they not taking your call. >> it's not going throughout to get cell service. >> let's get i want to be here when you call the president. >> i'm doing that right now. everyone that went to school there that lost their homes and to homes because they were living in one building or another, why was there no water in the hydrants. >> is it going to be different next time. >> it has to be of course. what are you going to do. all the hydrants, i would fill them up personally, you know that. i would fill up the hydrants myself, would you do that? >> i would do whatever i can. >> your not. >> devastating. heartbreaking. i want to point out that policy changes are going to overlap with the aid that is needed for los angeles.

a couple of analyst talking about this, michael balboni one at td cowan says that march 14 continuing resolution is a likely vehicle for the california wildfire emergency aid as well as the debt limit. another analyst is questioning what this is going to mean for the financials. i want to get everybody's take, the banks are reporting earnings next week but the extreme fire damage in los angeles is raising policy questions for the financials despite insurance being state regulated the analysts are expecting headline risk on possible creation of federal insurance programs we will see what this means for the major banks. but talk about what's going on as the death toll has risen ten people dead as a result of the fires. >> the first responsibility of government is to protect the people that you represent that is it everything else is

ancillary. we had an incredibly dry season going into this year. we know this is a tremendously difficult problem but if you don't have the right resources of water or fryer personnel and you haven't done brush management and you set yourself up for failure it's not a new thing for california to have these conditions even though they were extreme. >> can i add something to that the politicians and the regulators in california are the ones that are created and are going to be the impediment to the homeowners being able to rebuild to get their lives back, the wall street journal talks about that in an editorial ended talks about what you mentioned the state has allowed insurance for proper risks. do you know 100,000 people lost their insurance coverage between

20,192,024. state farm dropped 70% of policies around the santa monica mountains. this is a political disaster. it'll be an economic disaster, to your point about the bank, j.p. morgan analysis will be the most costly in-state history the most costly fire in state history. maria: there will be an immediate response from the financials on the disaster loans td cowan writes the federal response would be the small business administration disaster loans to those impacted by the wildfires, the cap will mean insufficient for those seeking to rebuild the maximum home disaster loan is $200,000 for real estate and 40000 for personal property. the banks will have an impact and we will talk about this more this morning. fox corporation with the 1 million donation to the red cross as california wildfire relief efforts, go to go.fox/red

>> we expected line 4.2% on appointment for this number and you gotta watch the revision group like this for the last 14 months and the victory lap in 3,040,000 jobs over each and every month. in the reaction of it lately we've been seeing about the bad news good news set up bad news is good news and vice a versa. and i hope we get out of that i would like to see strong economy was strong earnings and put the fed to the sideline and let's play this out we will see how the reaction is my take is 160,000 or more but at the end of the day we hope we get the cycle where bad news is considered good news. maria: the major banks are kicking a fourth-quarter earnings and that will take precedent in terms of what's going to move markets, j.p. morgan chase, wells fargo, goldman sachs coming out

wednesday bank of america, morgan stanley on thursday. in terms of the banks of the huge moves at interest rates and wondering if this will be a major issue bank of america with the largest unrealized losses in the industry, that could be a big focus when bofa reports when you're expecting for the major banks when the fourth-quarter number start coming out. >> is going to be really for investors to get some learning banks and technology and away from tariffs and the headlines that were seen. the best in class is j.p. morgan and were growth managers we find a portfolio so we can get back to loan growth also like an oxymoron but jamie dimon the best in the class but as far as it will do munificent december 31 that will not be as important interest rates might come down but going forward the guidance can be key to these companies bankamerica and so

forth. the rate at 4.7. and for new quarter that's a pretty big rise and there will be unrealized gains overall banks are in good shape then the stress test over and over and less regulation the bank is excited on so many different industries the banks of the big release of the pressure nonstop stress test. i think this is the sector that may benefit the most of less regulation. >> john lonski, yellow layer on one more issue that is the extreme fire damage in los angeles. now analysts are trying to understand the impact. td cowan the extreme fire damages raising policy questions for financials despite insurance being state regulated they expect headline risk on possible ration on federal insurance and reinsurance programs. >> it looks that insurance rates

are higher because of the horrible tragedy in los angeles. one of the big questions would be whether or not insurance companies are going to continue to offer property insurance to the regions that have a high risk of costly natural disasters this will not be a problem in california is already a problem in florida as well as texas and this will adversely affect the real estate market in the regions go ahead and get a mortgage when you cannot get property insurance on the building that backstop mortgage is. maria: i know you don't want a bipartisan local companies and food companies is any best buy in the stock market from your standpoint. a week ago microsoft at

>> i think we can do some things right out of the gate at the border which is a huge cry for the president on energy and military readiness increasing our defense budget all offset but get a quick win and focus on broader debate about taxes and the other issues including spending cuts which we have an opportunity to do something about. >> that was senate majority leader john thune and an exclusive with laura ingraham telling us the best ways to implement the trump agenda last night. a group of house republicans are traveling to mar-a-lago this weekend to discuss reconciliation strategy with president trump their planning to meet separately with the president-elect with the chairman of the committee the freedom caucus and the gop members of the salt caucus as well.

pat ryan wants republicans at the meeting. if trump is serious about removing the salt cap and double taxation he's going to need bipartisan support. all go to mar-a-lago myself if that's what it takes. senate republicans yesterday that he is preparing 100 executive orders on day one mostly focused on the border, ohio congressman warren davidson the house financial services and foreign affairs committee as well as the house task force to combat mexican drug cartels. is good to see you, thank you for being here. what is coming out of all of the meetings. we want to know what's coming out of the meetings with president trump in terms of how you will execute his agenda. what is the latest. >> everyone's united in terms of what we wanted you there is a difference of opinion on strategy. soon and house conservatives believe a two-step process is better and we build momentum and

we can execute quickly on the core promises of border security and national security. a handful of other things before march 14 the government is only funded till march 14 and the optimistic people for the one big beautiful bill think the mid-april zabriskie scenario what's left unsaid i guess we could get an omnibus to march and they don't have a good plan for that we don't even have topline numbers set in spite of all the delays. i think it's important that we come up with a plan ahead of march 14 in the two-step plan addresses on one step does not have a clear answer but that's what the discussions are about. maria: in terms of the march 14 day in the next continuing resolution, how likely is it that this package is going to include disaster relief.

have you and your colleagues started talking about the next steps in terms of the los angeles wildfires? some analysts believe the next step will be the enactment of disaster legislation to pay for the rebuilding of infrastructure in the provision of the lease has become our decision recently. what are your thoughts on the disaster relief that will be needed for los angeles. >> we included disaster relief in the wake of hurricanes recently and we need to address fires but the problem with california is forestry management we had good legislation bruce westerman who chairs the resources committee has a phd in forestry management and let this and qualified people leaving the policy and congress but not california. all the things are making a far easier for fryers to grow and

spread and be huge. the entrance we had a hearing on insurance policies in california talking about the consequences for the policies that are happening people are losing home insurance coverage for fire because the policies that the state government is doing if they want the money there should be consequences were they have to change your policy. maria: i'm wondering if your colleagues in california the california lawmakers are going to be pushing for the state prone to disaster to have money allocated toward this. >> california wants the money without changing the policies without making a bad or worse in announcing a republicans can support that. we support the people that are plagued by disaster but we have to put pressure on the california government to change course. maria: i see. has there been no discussion already about the federal help

coming to california and are you saying that his pushback unless you see policy changes. >> i think so how do you do that you don't want to send a message to families were not a decent care of you later have a problem saying that in western north carolina in the body and the administration and they said don't worry about it will take care of everything. a different response when it's out there in hollywood elite. that's disappointing from the biden administration. help is on the way from president trump in the new administration. when it comes to congressional funding the idea with an open checkbook no matter how bad your policies on is crazy. florida is prone to hurricanes so they do a lot of things to mitigate the risk of hurricanes. california is prone to fires and they make the fires worse instead of responding to make them more resilient. maria: how much federal insurance would you expect would

be considered. >> i don't know they say this is the largest most expensive fire in california history and it certainly does not look like it's contained eminently. it's a really big problem we know we have to take care of the problem and the people with policies that exceed the scope of normal coverage but the problem is they consequences for bad ideas. california has to confront that on a lot of these issues. maria: let me move on to what you're talking about in terms of cutting spending. elon musk told x to lower expectation on how much a department of government efficiency can cut. watch this. >> we will try for 2 trillion i think that's the best case outcome but i think youngkin of overage and if we try for 2 trillion real good shot of

getting one. maria: what about that we heard about all the money going to be saved, you get to be cutting things as a result of trying to. the 2 trillion-dollar number that was thrown out talked about a lot was the best case scenario. >> ascending out an audacious goal, the idea that you go for something big and also open to what is hearing from dialogues or members of the house and the senate and here are the things that you have to cut in order to have something that aggressive. when you talk about medicare medicaid, social security no will and congress the house or senate to make cuts to the programs it's a big part of driving the spending. and you have interest on the debt and work in the service that we have defense the four biggest buckets of spending and when you look at the other things like the department of education or eliminating various

functions and lots of duplication. you can save a lot of money and waste fraud and abuse in improper payments alone saves you $2 trillion on a ten year window but is talking about $2 trillion in a given year as the goal for doge. you have to look at substantive reform in the political will and 2026. is it likely there to do it in one year. maria: you want in your great victory, the republicans are now senate and the white house. it looks like the real work begins. it will be watching your work, thank you so much. congressman warren davidson. we'll be right back. stay with us.

maria: welcome back the deadly los angeles wildfire could stand to be the costliest in u.s. history insured losses expected to be $20 billion, accuweather is predicting the economic loss could rise to a staggering $57 billion. more than 10000 buildings have been destroyed. 5300 damaged in the pacific palisades neighborhood along. the fire being called one of the most destructive natural disasters and city history burning up 20000 acres that is the size of new york city, new devastating video shows entire box of homes turned to rubble president-elect donald trump responded yesterday. >> i've never seen anything like that, devastation. were talking about homes 200, 300, $400 million nobody's and received anything like it people influential people i don't know that they go back because they

weren't happy with california and they were happy with gavin newsom and they weren't happy with their whole lifestyle with the crime and then to control all the other problems they were not happy it'll be interesting to see whether they will build or somebody else is going to build a much lesser home. maria: joining me now managing partner appeared divorce. thank you for being here how would you assess the situation. how long would it take for the pacific palisades real estate market to rebuild. >> it's great to see you. it'll be several years and the biggest question that the homeowners are going to have to face, what is their insurance coverage. if i had to estimate, roughly 50% of homeowners in the california region do not have adequate insurance to rebuild their homes at full cost. if you're in a situation or your insurance is only giving 50% to two thirds, d of the liquidity

to complete the completion or move elsewhere and what happened to the lending institution with the mortgage on the property. several years until we have the answer in the majority of people unfortunately our prayers are with them for what they're going through the economically speaking they continue to be an unfortunate story. maria: there will be an immediate federal response. the small business association disaster loans to those impacted by the wildfires but the homeowners are looking to the state for help. >> california has fair. it is the backup insurance program but correct me if i'm wrong but there's no way that all of the claims if they go to fair can possibly be covered. it's going to be underwater in three days with these claims starting to get file isn't that correct. >> there is no way the fair has a budget adequate to replace insurance companies in the

region. absolutely no way that is a problem how are the insurance companies accountable to provide fair coverage to the consumer when the government won't step in and meet the delta entirely it'll be virtually impossible. i don't think fema is funded adequately for that. maria: the next step from a federal level will be the enactment of disaster legislation not to pay for the rebuilding of infrastructure but also emergency housing and replenish fema. fema is out of money which we learned last year that it's not sufficient to handle what were talking about. 11600 pacific palisades lost their property insurance in last april after state farm canceled policies across the state. why did that happen, tells about the challenges of the homeowners will face as they try to reb rebuild. >> if you look back the last couple of years we had a tremendous uptake of natural

disasters in america. it's unfortunate when you look at hawaii and the sun belt insurance company saw this and want to mitigate risk and was the easiest way to mitigate risk to exit high risk markets. it's a shame it's impossible already today to find prior to this horrible event to find insurance in these areas did what will happen six months from now it will be completely uninsurable, that means you cannot transact banks will not land on a home that does not have insurance and i don't know homeowner that would want to pursue an investment without adequate insurance, the regions will be completely uninsurable at some point. maria: it's heartbreaking to think about the people that acquired the hunter inheritance they inherited this incredible need of a home and living there and now the home is burnt to the ground and everything it is gone. >> the sad part is most homeowners don't know what insurance that they have. in reality your average homeowner by the home looking for the lowest-cost insurance,

you're not going to your policy of the full replacement coverage. a lot of the homeowners who inherited the homes in a less vested interest there is no chance that they have insurance to fully rebuild the homes. no chance whatsoever. maria: new california rules that are aiming to increase coverage by requiring insurers for a minute and determine minimum and dangerous areas based on the state market share. companies can raise premiums and exchange to reflect increased reinsurance cost but rates will increase statewide following the disaster. a protectable higher rates that will underline the notion that inflation will get stoked. >> this compounds affordability crisis in america. when we look back to last for five years yet prices go up 50-one 100% most of the areas that interstates from 2.7% to 7%. now you have insurance to what four acts from what they were a

couple of years ago. you tell me how anybody will enter the housing market. maria: disturbing. we will keep covering and following. we appreciate your time. president trump facing more hurdles before he takes office. the president-elect will appear virtually and then your cash money case today after the supreme court throws out a last-minute challenge to block his sensing. will tell you when we come back.

request. >> i thought it was a. decision i'll do my thing tomorrow they can have fun with your political opponent as you know they acknowledge what the judge said no penalty and there's no penalty. we will appeal psychologically because frankly it is a disgrace and the judge that should not of been on the case of highly conflicted judge. >> a source close to trump's legal team so the new judge was assigned to the president-elect civil fraud case brought by new york attorney letitia james. replacing judge arthur in garon but after several hours and attorney received an e-mail announcing the decision they got another message paying he was reassigned to the case. trump has appealed the $454 million judgment there. that appeal is pending before the new york appeals court. earlier this week aileen cannon temporarily blocked the release of special counsel jack smith's final report on the trump 2020

election classified records investigation. a federal appeals court reversed that decision. now the justice department is free to release it to the public and were expecting for the final report in the coming days. maria: boxing man, former president jimmy carter was laid to rest yesterday in bringing together all five living presidents in the interaction between president obama and president trump was really surprising with the details. what a sight. >> the video that were going to show you is really incredible. president-elect trump and former president barack obama seemed to share surprisingly friendly or friendly moment during the service food jimmy carter, they are chatting and laughing and they seem to put politics aside to show immunity. trump saying about the interaction, watch. >> it did look very friendly msa.
