my colleagues who did support it there is more to do. holding sanctuary cities accountable. i'm looking forward to seeing all of the executive actions that president trump is able to take as soon as he is sworn in, again, january 20th. it can't come soon enough. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> and, of course, we have been covering the wildfires out of southern california all morning long that coverage will continue with "fox & friends." >> current reported acreage is at 4,000 but expect that number to rise significantly when cal fire issues their next update later on this morning. "fox & friends" will bring you the next three hours live on the ground in southern california as we watch this national tragedy unfold. ♪ >> goorve good morning morning, everybody.

3:00 in los angeles. we start out there with a fox news alert. right now l.a., on fire those are lye images out of altadena, california. three out-of-control wildfires are spreading all across lay county, fueled by life-threatening and destructive winds up to 100 miles per hour. flames carrying over 4,000 acres already. more to come. >> and despite the heroic efforts of all the firefighters there all three of those fires zero percent contained at this point. and fire officials are warning that the wind will continue through tomorrow with gusts in some areas topping 99 miles per hour. >> county officials calling this the worst case scenario withdrews spread extremely thin. particularly in inland areas like pasadena where new fires flared up after they had sent responders and assets to battle the big pacific palisades fire. >> lawrence: tens of thousands

are under evacuation orders. >> within 15 minutes the smoke was coming down. the neighborhood was filling with ash and smoke hope to come back tomorrow to a anding house very shattering. >> lawrence: look at these images. bull dozers seen clearing roads after countless drivers attempted to escape danger were told to abandon their vehicles in gridlocked traffic. >> steve: they ran for their lives. right now one fire jumping the pacific highway burning rows of ocean front homes now. you are looking that's malibu. the very famous malibu. >> ainsley: we start our live team coverage with janice dean. she is tracking the wind storm that is spanning all those flames out there. first, go to william la jeunesse live in malibu, where the

residents not already under evacuation orders being told to prepare to leave at a moment's notice. william? >> and that's because this fire moved so quickly. yesterday, when i went to bed it hadn't even crossed topanga canyon the real inn, i'm north of dukes on coast highway. you can't see it right now but just beyond these fires is the ocean. the ocean not only jumped toe pang go cannon, los florist canyon. these five homes have burned. three other homes burned just south of here. when i came in, there were more homes burning than there were firefighters to handle it. it has been moving that fast up coast highway. and this began as the pally fire starting at 10:30 in the morning was a small brush fire. 1 to 10 acres it was reported and that thing because of these

winds literally just blew up. it was about 1,000 acres by 4:00. these winds as you mentioned 99 miles per hour in the mountain passes down here at the beach have been clocked around 50 miles per hour. and, again, the firefighters are just -- they don't have the manpower. also, the chinook helicopters they brought in early, they were able to fly some of the smaller fire droppers were not able to. what they said is by the time the water and retardant hit the ground it had moved about a football field. it was almost pointless to start dropping. they grounded the helicopters again because of the winds. another problems, water pressure in the palisades, many firefighters complained that they didn't have any more water pressure. another problem is going to be the insurance situation. many people have dropped -- have been dropped. their fire insurance. some have state coverage. other than going without coverage at all. after this kind of a situation we are going to have here, this

is likely, you guys with, i have been doing this 30 years out here. this is probably going to be the most expensive destructive fire in state history based on what i have seen and it's moving. as you mentioned, there are at least three fires burning out of control, zero containment in southern california. from orange county, all the way up to in through malibu and at this point in time, you know, the winds are expected to continue blowing at least through today and tomorrow, that are life-threatening, back to you. >> brian: william, we're used to fires starting in malibu and maybe moving south, but now, you are saying these fires started pacific palisades and are moving north? if you were there, was it burning yesterday? >> yeah, brian. it's really unusual. as you know, fire often creates its own wind. you thought the predominant wind was going to be from the north to basically the west and to the south,right? in fact, the pally fire area

called rustic cannon and which i shah tackwith a. fires very dense malibu house one per acre that kind of thing. palisades that's very different. those houses are packed together and they are all -- they are starting at 2 million to $3 million each there moved into the highlands and those are very expensive as well. now the fire has moved to the south in rust that cannon and north into malibu. the last fire we covered last month, we started at cross creek, which is the center of malibu, if you will. when i came south, the fire was burning almost there. so, dukes, moan sat shadows. we are just north of there. that's how fast this thing moved. as you intimated on the intro, the evacuations, i mean, there were 30,000 yesterday, i can't imagine what it is now.

the warning, the evacuation is all the way up to mow holland in the middle of the smoont mountain reserve. dukes malibu famous place. yesterday they were closed. they put on instagram we are closed because of the fire. a lot of people who were injured and needed to evacuate wound up going there and then were taken elsewhere another place very fame use real. in there for 30 years. burned overnight. >> i used to live in santa monica and palisades. it's wooden structure. it was just north of toe pang go. i'm north of dukes south of cross creek. but i can tell you in the palisades village, which as you guys know very famous area.

a lot of movie stars in there as well. and it has burned part of there i know my dentist office was destroyed as well. this is a huge fire and it is not over by any means. there are fires burning in sylmar and altadena and pasadena as well as palisades and malibu. this thing, as you guys know, l.a. is a basin. we are surrounded by a mountain. winds coming out of the las vegas area pushing through these canons at 50 miles per hour in excess of that, and they are just once these embers get in these neighborhoods, it is spotting so far ahead of where the firefighters are. they just can't keep track. >> lawrence: yeah, william, i think about the citizens there. i think about the first responders.

>> helicopters can't fly. they haven't been given a break at all. right? >> lawrences, as you know, the longer the winds grow the drier the vegetation gets. we are supposed to be in the middle of rainy season. we basically november/december we get half our rain, january, february, maybe march, we get the other half. we have virtual marginal amounts of rain. so everything is really dry. with these winds, that's working against them. as you know, if you get winds in excess of maybe 20, 25 miles per hour, they are playing defense in structural protection here and there. this fire, we are shooting right now. they tried to stop it, so, a long pch here guys, it is house to house. they almost have shared walls there that close together. that's why, you know, these 8 homes that you have just seen they burned and now there is another bucket of homes, if you

will, where you see that firefighter standing, and they have not been able to stop it. and those are literally close together just like apartments. but, lawrence, as you said. they are not getting any breaks right now. initially, it looked okay. right? if the fire palisades, joint control, and all these different fire departments, hey, we had maybe 2,000 firefighters available. now that there are four to five fires burning. that's no longer the case. everyone is spread really thin. they can't afford to give you more crews because of the fear that something is going to go up in laguna or orange county some place like that, they don't have any manpower to spare. as you said the winds grounding those helicopters, that's a big deal because normally at night sometimes not tonight, would lay down and they could get the fire hawk in there and do some drops. that has not been the case. they grounded last night at 8:00. so maybe they will bring in some fixed wings, as said when you are dropping from several hundred feet and these winds, by

the time it hits the grounds it's either dissipated or they miss their target. it's a horrible situation. go ahead. >> ainsley: it is. william, tell us more about the traffic gridlock and people having to just leave their cars in the middle of the road and run for their lives. >> yeah. so when -- yesterday, when they were trying to evacuate parts of the palisades, as i said, a very dense, populated area, they hit the bottom of the street, right? and fire crews were trying to save a commercial area, so they weren't letting traffic through. and so, the fire start wanted coming up behind these cars and spotting ahead of them. the deputies and the officers went up to these people and witnesses say if you want to live, get out of your car and run. and then these -- then what happened. then you guys know. you need major space for these fire trucks to go in and out, egress, right? and what happened is the -- the people left their cars on sun set boulevard, which is unheard

of. and they just left them there. and they had to bring in two bulldozers and push those cars aside. both on palisades drive and sun set so the fire trucks could come in and out. because there was this gridlock at the bottom of the hill, some people were just told shelter in place. now, imagine what that is like. you got flames burning up the hill outside your house. you can't leave because there is no traffic. and they are telling you to shelter in place. people had just to run, run for their lives. >> brian: just to get an idea where you are you are across from dukes? >> i'm just north of loss florist. north of tuna canyon, and well, south of cross creek. >> ainsley: brian knows it well he used to live in that area? >> brian: pepperdine is how close to you? >> maybe five miles north past cross creek. i'm north of dukes.

south of pepperdine. >> brian: got you all my stuff borden los flores drive. >> probably been to moon shadows? >> brian: yeah. all of them. >> i'm about two blocks north of moan shadows. >> ainsley: is that a restaurant? >> brian: jumped the pch and burning everything. i heard it's burning lifeguard stands. >> yeah. it did down at will rogers beach it burned some lifeguard stands there. but, you know, i got to tell you, brian, coming in from the north, i come in from z zuma. and the situation you see here is up and down coast highway. keith came from the south and he saw it. i saw it, and it's burning on both sides, both on the oceanside and on the wind ward side. so, it's and, again, there are houses burning and there were no firefighters in sight because they were tasked to, you know,

homes like this south of us. they are stretched beyond thin. >> ainsley: heart breaking. >> steve: you guys, the tv crews have all got to be so careful because the wind could switch around. william, go ahead and make sure you are safe there and we will continue to look at these amazing pictures out of malibu. thank you -- amazing coverage, william. and he talked a little bit about the multi--million-dollar houses and celebrities and all the stuff like that. i saw in the daily mail apparently ben affleck pulled up to his bachelor pad, he and jlo have split. he watched the fire taking over that neighborhood. we sent some reporters and producers out and listen to the people who yesterday, as night was falling, and flames were coming, were running for their lives. >> fire is moving so fast and just exploding because of the wind, it's intense, and you don't know what is going to happen. the wind keeps shifting.

we have seen on all three or four hillsides right here fire, just pop right up. be this was inevitable in some ways. >> i mean, i have never seen anything, fires this close to the cars. people left their cars on palisades drive, burning up the hillside, palm trees, everything is going. and the wind and the firemen are great but, they can only do so much. >> let's get out of here. whatever i lose, i lose. >> how many more horses do you have? >> we have a couple we just let loose over there trying to get as many as we can out. >> are any homes throughout on fire. >> did i not pay attention. i drove straight to the park to get my horses out. >> some of that is horse country. >> unbelievable. i was watching the interview on "fox & friends first" one of the local residents furious about -- she said the meteorologists let them know different information, but the leadership didn't let them know how bad this was going

to be. and she was wondering why there wasn't more notice given so they could start the evacuation process. >> steve: i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the mayor of los angeles is in africa for the inauguration of the president of ghana. rick crouso who ran against karen bass in 2022 is blasting her. she should be home for this. and that -- you know, you are absolutely right. but, the meteorologist did say get going because and janice, we were talking about it yesterday, the winds you forecast were going to be 100 miles per hour. >> janice: right. you also have to understand this is not a hurricane where have you days in advance and you know exactly where that hurricane is going to make impact. we had, you know, 24 to 48 hours of notice and so that's not a lot of notice poor people. for people and forecast where winds could go, where somebody could potentially set a fire, that's impossible. so you have the information.

you do the best that you can. and you live in an area that potentially could be affected by wildfires. but, yes, yesterday we were saying 100 miles per hour, that's pretty darn near close. this is the recipe for disaster here. we are into a moment in history here. you can feel it, right? this has never happened before in some of these areas. record hot summer. near record dry fall. strongest wind event in at least 14 years and effecting an incredible amount of population. fire weather outlook the same as it was yesterday. we have an extreme danger for ventura and los angeles counties and that will continue on thursday. winds will subside a little bit but not enough to really give solace to firefighters out there. they can't get out there. they can't get fire crews in the air to bring water down. that's how bad the winds are 3,000 acres burned in just a matter of hours. 500 acres burned. so three fires that have burned.

really out of control with no containment within the last few hours in the overnight house. peak wind gust forecast for today 70, 80 miles per hour in pass deanna, hidden springs, san ferrandino, los angeles 40 to 5. and then you have the fire alerts particularly dangerous situation and remember, just four weeks ago we were talking about a particularly dangerous situation in the malibu area. some of the same areas are affected right now. it's heart breaking. >> brian: one thing comes to mind do we know how this started? >> janice: the biggest fire right now, if i can go back to my maps, we know that it was human. when you think about this, did has to be human, because, when you have wind gusts like this for # hundred miles per hour, they shut the power down, right? because power lines can come down in strong winds and that

could cause fire. there was no lightning in the area, so what caused this? >> steve: terrible. >> brian: terrible series of events and now it's spread and not enough firefighters and not water pressure in the pacific palisades bring in retired fire captain bob goldman. bob, we have never seen anything like this. and we are 3,000 miles away. what is it like for you? >> well, i live in the studio city area, so this portion of l.a. is in good shape right now. but i have been listening to william. it's interesting, historically, these things repeat themselves over and over again. all the places that he was just mentioned coincidentally for nearly the last 10 years of my career from 2,000 to 2010. i worked in malibu at the station nearby where he is at at carbon canyon so during that period of time -- i can see right now these pictures on pch,

malibu. i went through all the fires that we have there. now i'm seeing it repeat itself exactly again. back in 1993, the fires happened all in the same day in order just like it's doing here. that time there was the quinn know a mason fire. eat ton canon fire, same thing. fired by fire laguna beach. followed by the malibu toe pang go fire in 1993. now we have a series of three major disasters going again. and same issues again with water pressure. winds are too high for the aircraft to fly. chief freeman my fire chief some years ago, he had spoken to a group of people who said, you know, there is only so much our people can do. the best trained, best equipment, best resources that mother nature landlord. and you do everything according to the book. and think that your home safe

it. turns around and bites you in the you know what. this is nature. at its worst. and most shocking. and i'm just stunned because keep talking about malibu there. how many times i have eaten the rio inn. >> steve: it's gone. >> the dukes is literally a couple hundreds yards from cannon pch. i had no idea this was going on in malibu. this is just wild. i have never seen anything quite like this with these winds either. this is unbelievable. 100 miles per hour? that's just crazy. and i feel for the guys that are out there right now. just taking a beat down, trying to get some headway on this thing. i don't see it happening. >> brian: where does help come from? >> in california, lucky for us the rest of the united states has followed. robust system of massive mutual

aid. 70s they realized they had a problem fighting these fires because all the different fire agencies in california were not -- didn't have interoperability. different couldn't hook up to each other. communication was a problem. policy and procedures. and this all came under a thing called fire scope. from that grew the system of the operability. so when a fire breaks out our department, which manages a portion of that system in southern california, the request comes in for mutual aid. immediately goes to riverside. and they begin notifying departments that have predetermined strike teams to deploy them. and that's how we get all the extra help. we also do the same for other departments that ask for our help. and it's a great great program. nothing any place else in the u.s. thankfully we have it. still, we have unique problems here. even with that system, we, you

know, we get beat. and right now i'm seeing the score pretty low against us in this situation today. >> ainsley: bob, thank you so much. thanks for your service, too. keeping us informed. our coverage continues of the devastating wildfires in the los angeles area destroying homes, businesses, and schools. customize and save with liberty mutual. customize and sa— (balloon doug pops & deflates) and then i wake up. is limu with you in all your dreams? oh, yeah. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪ when a tough cough finds you on the go, a syrup would be... silly! woo! hey! try new robitussin soft chews. packed with the power of robitussin... in every bite. easy to take cough relief, anywhere. chew on relief, chew on a ♪ robitussin ♪ nice to meet ya.

>> ainsley: let's go back to william la jeunesse with the latest in malibu. william? >> ainsley what i want to show you and tell people the scene you see here is oby no means unique. from mo smoont. all the way to pepperdine. these are like row houses in philadelphia. they are literally right next to each other. there is a pacific homes they are trying to save where those fire trucks are right now. they are putting a lot of water on it. so close together and the intense radiant heat is catching the two by fours and the structures next to it on fire. again, as we have seen right here, we have lost five houses

in just about the last hour along this stretch and another three earlier than that the situation here in southern california is dire. this is probably going to be the most destructive expensive fire in state history. stretch from the palisades and now there is some in pass deanna, altadena, up in that area as well. houses start in the range of 2 to $3 million each. the palisades fire that one grew not just north here in malibu but also grown into santa monica rust that cannon and shah tack quaw road 40 to 50 has firefighters as i came down pch power lines and

transformers were up and down the street, along with boulders coming off the side of the bluff here. so, it's burning out of control. they grounded the helicopters last night around because of the winds and inability to drop retardant and water on the fire directly. but this is going to be a situation, ainsley, for at least the next two days we are going to be fighting fires in southern california. back to you. >> ainsley: be safe out there, william, thank you so much. we will be talking to you throughout the morning. now our next guest had about 100 preschoolers on their campus when they were forced to evacuate yesterday as the raging fires burned through their jewish center campus. will rabbi kunin founder of the ha bob jewish community center in pacific palisades and he joins us now. thank you some, rabbi for joining us. >> thank you. children were at the community center and you started calling parents, right. >> yeah. our staff and our director, you

know, got right into action. even before evacuation was coming in, just noticing the smoke and not wanting the children to be in harm's way. and no sooner did she and her staff contact each of the parents, that the traffic jam had come together and was a real and credible task to make sure everybody was safely back with their family some had to be walked down to pch which at the time was a very safe zone. unfortunately as we see this horrendous devastating fire continue to rage, our hearts go out to the men, women, and children and families who have been devastated by this thousands of people are without homes. so many iconic spaces in our little town have been completely burnt down.

and it's really a time for us to all come together and be there for each other and support each other. as we sit here tonight, we have no idea about our own home, you know, several of our own children and grandchildren also live locally. and are working with the community. and we are -- we have all been evacuated. i really want to provide my shout-out to some of the hotels that have been so accommodating to the local community and people have opened their homes to just welcome in strangers and other people who -- family members just to come and find respite during this unbelievable, unprecedented devastating fire. many seniors who are still stranded as we left. we left one of the latest after many people had evacuated still?

kind bows or places because they didn't they wanted to leave. thankfully incredible first responders who are working impossible. it's really impossible. i was born and raised in california i have seen many of the fires. this one is just, i mean, it's really unbelievable. especially for the los angeles county area. but,' the first responders are really doing their best and it's really, really incredible. >> rabbi, everyone we have talked to and interviewed over the last few hours this morning have said the same thing. gray grew up in california and have never seen anything like this. even though they have lived through many fires. i know you are busy removing the torahs from the community city make sure all the cities were safe with their.

thank you so much. we're praying for you. >> thank you very much. find a way to do more acts of goodness and kindness as we are taught. thank you so much. god bless you. >> ainsley: god bless you. a beautiful lesson there thank you, rabbi. we are continuing to monitor the wildfires in southern california. plus, biden transferring detainees who were captured after the 9/11 attacks out of gitmo. the brother of one of the victims will react, next. ♪

american being okay with this. these are dangerous people. these 11 detainees, you know, they couldn't try them but they were too dangerous to release. so now we are going to let them loose on the world. get them resettled. we will get them back on track with their lives. what, so they can return to the battlefield and come back to haunt us? we haven't heard the last of these guys. i'm certain they will be back. >> brian: what did you notice when you were down there. do you see repentant people realize the error 6 their ways when you were in courtroom. >> absolutely not. i was there in 2009. a competency hearing who are ramzi bin al shibh. mohammed said i did it. i said we would do it again. i'm not a lawyer. that's a courtroom confession that wasn't good enough for anybody then. so they were not repentant. not in the least. these guys are steep in this ideology and festering down there in gitmo as far as i'm

concerned they can fester there forever. >> brian: obama swapped them out. key officials in the new taliban 2 afghanistan story. i mean, so they are basically laughing in our face. they come back as heroes once they are out. >> you are absolutely right. and again, 9/11 families have been screwed so many times. we're just used to it at this point. it's just another day we are going to have to roll with. the emotional toll, brian, people don't understand. you lose a loved one and there is zero justice for them. zero. if my brother were mugged on the streets of new york, this thing would have been long gone maybe not with alvin bragg. this thing would have been long adjudicated. if you look at like my brother was killed in 2001 along with thousands of others. my mother died in 2015. never seen justice for her son. my father passed in 2019. never seen justice. my sister who accompanied me to gitmo three times died in 2021 during the pandemic.

i'm getting ready to turn 68 here. i'm wondering if i'm going to live long enough to see this. i don't think i will. i think these guys -- whoever is calling the shots. we all know it's not biden. it's where his handlers are. these leftist activists pulling the strings of this government and these legal soldiers of fortune that came out of ngo, leftist ngos suing the government are now full time employees of the doj. this is where all this crap comes from. you know, we objects of pity, we 9/11 family members, are just not smart enough to understand why they are doing it. >> brian: you are not smart enough. you are smart enough to understand this is pure politics and someone trying to outdo, perhaps, president obama who said he wasn't going to do -- wasn't able to do this at gitmo. 11 detainees go to oman. the worst could be yet to come. according to the "wall street journal." mohammed raheem, a body guard of bin laden 2016 the latest we heard from him has reaffirmed

his radical ways in the al-qaeda doctrine could be swapped for three americans that we left behind in kabul. in afghanistan. will a bad deal. your thoughts about this? bin laden's body guard? >> it's crazy. it's craziness. all we are doing is encouraging more kidnapping and more thugs out there to commit terrorism. you know, when they know they can get away with it. spend a few years gitmo come home a hero, why not do it again? these guys don't mind blowing themselves up. do you think they will mind spending a few years in the clink? i don't think so. the whole thing is outrageous. these people are war criminals. illegal enemy combatants in violation of the law of war and they have you had been tried in a war time tribunal we sets up at gitmo. if you look back what have we got in history, look at nazi war crimes we did in nuremberg.

this was over in 10 months. these guys were tried, adjudicated, done, 10 months, next. why are we still mucking around with these guys. >> brian: i'm sorry about all the losses in your family as you wait for justice. i know your brother would be proud that you are still fighting for him. thank you so much. >> thanks, brian, thanks for having me. >> brian: we will track all of this as it unfolds. trump doubling down on push to acquire greenland. it would be a win for everyone. still monitoring the fires in southern california. the latest, next. ♪ doctor box, there were many failed attempts to fix my teeth. i retouched all my wedding photos, and it was even affecting my health.
