angeles. multiple wildfires are still burning around l.a. county, and the situation could soon get worse with the unexpected return of strong winds. one of the latest to erupt is the kenneth fire, which burned nearly a thousand acres in just a few hours. that fire is burning on the border of l.a. and ventura counties north of los angeles. the california wildfires are now blamed for the deaths of at least ten people. but as rescue crews searched through the rubble, that number is expected to grow. the fires have consumed more than 27,000 acres and destroyed over 10,000 buildings, most of them homes. in some areas. entire neighborhoods have been wiped out. to make things worse, the l.a. fire department has now confirmed that one of the two essential super scooper aircraft has been damaged. it was struck thursday by a civilian drone, but in a sliver of good news, the california national guard has arrived. they arrived last night. they'll help local police and firefighters stop both looting and fight the fires. the

palisades fire is the most destructive l.a. fire ever. it's caused unimaginable damage, including in malibu, where fox news correspondent jeff paul is standing by. jeff? >> well, yeah. marianne. there is a light breeze tonight, but nothing compared to the very strong wind gusts that we experienced last night and the night before. and i have to say, the biggest news, i think for the folks out here who are fighting the palisades fighter fire is the fact that this fire is now 6% contained. and they're hoping that number just keeps going up and up and up. but the devastation from this wildfire is far and wide. we're right here along pch in malibu. that's the pacific ocean off there in the distance. and this was someone's dream home right there on the beach. perfect ocean views and has now been reduced to just charred pieces of wood ash. you can see this was the driveway and the garage door that's just been mangled

by this fire. responders. >> and i think we just lost jeff right there. but he was just describing the scene where he is in malibu. he's saying that the winds have not picked up there, but they are expected to pick up possibly tomorrow, by tomorrow afternoon. and we wanted to go ahead and report the la fire department now confirming that one of their two essential super scooper aircraft has been damaged. that's one of the planes that's involved in dropping water on the flames and trying to get them out. jeff was able to tell us earlier that he can no longer see flames in the distance, like he has been able to see for the last few hours, taking that as as a positive sign as well. and a sliver of good news in all of this. the california national guard has arrived to help out and to assist law enforcement and first responders and all of those firefighters trying to

put these fires out. also, police saying that they are working to prevent looting and telling looters that they will be arrested and prosecuted. again. if you're just joining us, this is the very latest on the california wildfires and the efforts to put those fires out. keep itfires out. keep it on the fox news channel for the very latest. >> laura: raging across the region. karen bass tried her best to sound more convincing.rs >> we need to help others go to help our neighbors, and first and foremost, we need to stay u, stay strong, united l.a. is the way we will recover, is the way we will rebuild their communities. >> laura: i will translate forai you: stay united for her maned? still asked many questions. nice sentiments to stay united. but when she united, united wita her constituents skipping

tamper, with clear and earlyri ggwarnings of severe windin conditions that experts warned could trigger fast-moving firese inct times of crisis, we want, e need elected officials in placeat and we respect interest even if we did not vote for them. but that requires those officials to demonstrate managerialan comic talent ands thoughtfulin preparation. mayor basque showed neither which is obvious in the q&a. >> my crew arrived shortly after it started and for several hours who watchend.d as hundreds of hs in the neighborhood burned to the ground. a we dids not see a single fireid engine. we watched as good samaritans thatthis a traffic. what explains this lack of preparation and rapid response? >> let me just say first and foremost, my number one focus is that we have to protect lives, we have to save lives, and wess have to saveur homes. rest assured that -- rest

assured -- let me finish -nish-t assured, wind that is ten and we are safe, we will absolutely do an evaluation to look at what worked, what didn't work and to correct or to hold accountable anybody, department, individual, et cetera. >> laura: et cetera.we we don't need aa postmortem.po we already know whatli her party policies have been.ha vithe americans can see for themselves but having no water contributed to over the past 72 hours so people are just totalla shell-shocked. so many friends that live in the area and one of my dearest sent out on the leaven of 23 families s class, 11 ofer them lost their homes, 11. you think of the emotional trauma to children and of course,oper to adults. and the property damage? look at this view town at pch in

malibu.ic now the home's worth in the millions, as we know, all the iconic businesses on. the cost to restore these areas could top $50 billion.e i bet it is more. making this the costliest buyer in u.s. history. p i know that trump administratn willis make wee building facef communities top priority because thatcoe is what america first s all about, after all.it of course, the liberals in charge of other ideas what to put first.an it wasn't the safety of taxpayers that pay their salaries. >> can you address the criticism and how of the budget issue and slashing $70 million? >> you know, i think if you goha back and look at the reductions that were made, there were no reductions that were made that would have the impact of the situation. there wad has a little bit -- is most important to understand that we were in tough budgetaryf

times. everybody needs at. but that the impact of our budget really didn't impact whay we have been going through. >> laura: this woman thinks we are as stupid as she is. we are supposed to believe that she, karen bass, is worried about spending and about budgetary constraints? it is to the city hadwh $300 million budget deficits. shi will ask this, right after r election did she move toio fast-track her sanctuaryns cityl status that would shovel millions of dollars out the door to illegal aliens? why did she do that? no money for extra firefightersr but she pushed to spend $2.2 million for chargers on street lights to establish better climate equity? how about $2.1 million for equity and inclusion programs for the fire department? now, this is the kind of wokee nonsense you canfa expect in a city, frankly, ran by the far left. you have a democrat mayor ands

city council with out any p republican representation and unless you think the deputy can help in this firestorm, think again. meet brian williams, trusted number two who was placed on leave well investigated by the fbi for making bomb threats,re which we have his photo up there. slook, along with droughts, mudslides, fires, california o suffers under self-inflicted plague of leadership.ep theiarr idea of protecting the public does not prioritize for natural disasters. do you know what it prioritizes? resisting trump. >> california governor, gavin newsom is going for a special session of theca californiali legislature to "safeguard california values in the face oincof an incoming trup administration." specifically wants to bolster california resources "to protect civitionl rights, reproductivee.

freedom, climate action, and immigrant families." >> laura: of course, that is a priority that cost $25 million to fund his lawsuits and otherat legal actions to's resist, to sp donald trump. that is they are priority. if governor newsom thinks he will parlay his wildfire management skills and towe nationalba office, i think thish clip may come back to haunt him. >> what is the situation with the palisades?hed the firefighter they left f because there was no fire hydrant here. >> the local folks are trying to figure that out. the fire hydrants are typical ometfor one or two fires and nom something at this scale. that will be determined by the a local.ct >> laura: maybe he should go into actin.g because he looked thjacke part. you see him with that check in hand. let me be clear, everybody knows how much i love california. it is where most of my

family lives. no one deserves the type of incompetent dei, abscessed leadership that has produced such disastrous results.at not just h this wildfire management, but everything else that happens in california. so, we must do better.an gli believe president trump and his team will be a part of that solution. "the angle" expects a whole government approach here, including support from republicans on capitol hill. will talk to jonebui for him ina few moments. we have to rebuild l.a. and takf every possible federal measure to prevent this sort of bungling from happening again. these people are fellow americans and i look forward to 2028 when president trump willth erwelcome the world again to the l.a. olympics.s i was there in 1984 and 2028 ha got to be amazing. then we can all take pride in the rebirth of this great american city. and that is "the angle." joining me now, dr. houman

i and breitbart senior editor at large, joel pollak and they've had to evacuate due to the wildfires. joel, liberalsdi will say this s natural disasters, climate change, bringing up all of thesh of water or cuts to the budget.l that is not the time or place. well, 24 hours after evacuating, what do you say? >> if you believwie climate chae is the reason we have more wildfires, you need to prepare for more wildfires. it is clear the state government has not been doing that. we are not prepared with an emergency plan for evacuation. our mayor was out of the country. our governor doesn't have a clue. the residents had to help each other. it is a miracle that everybody, at least in pacific palisades. was able to evacuate alive

withouand t injury. when youport go into the neighborhood, and i have been reporting there the last two days for breitbart news, the scal e of devastation isin unimaginable. you were just reminded over andt over again's how amazing it is peopleeach survived. that is because people helped each other. they gave each other lifts. neighbors put fires out at each other's houses if they could. peopleie had tveo step up and te leadership. thanthe reason i believe the thatpalisades will be built bets than before is because of the curator. that is the palisades spirit but the government was completelyg awol. c >> laura: do some found timeri to attack trump during this y crisisou. watch this. >> president trumpthis. attacke. >> one can't even respond to it this guy wanted to politicize it. i have a lot of thoughts and i know what i want to say, but i won't. i stood next to the president of the united states of america today. fi was proud to be withs jill biden. we had the backs of every single

person in this community. >> laura: dr. marti, he looks the part and pointing out the failures of trump and talking about this but one about the performance here given what joel's neighborhood has gone s through in devastation and some of those videos what so many people tonight are facing and children are facing? >> laura, thank you.i kn first, my heart goes out to joel intimate friends of mine do i know over a hundred people who have lost their homes and children in a panic. my own bring great distress right now.to but we are comforting them and teaching them this will be okay long term. with that said, they should have never happened. this could have been gavin newsom rudy giuliani moment after 9/11 where he stood up strong and tall and commanded a force and reassured the people and say i'm in charge and we will take care of things. d instead, whao?t did he do?

one photo up after another and onlyp wh did these start attacka trump and making this politicale he has gambling and the specialf session of the legislation to authorize $25 million in spending, money we don't have,ir not to take care of the wildfire victims but to trump proof california and a president who has not taken office yet.ra this ites not just tone-deaf but criminally negligent. he has demonstrated to the nation he is absolutely p incapable, out of touch, simply oi doesn't care and he stoppedwe pretending at this point. and that ires what is concernin. people who loved newsom and those few remaining people who supported him are now saying hee needs to go. >> laurasis ar: residents areav growining more furious by the moment.u one woman confronted gavin newsom today. watch >> i'm literally talking to theh president right now toat specifically answer the question

what we can do for you and youri daughter. >> can i hear yo'mu because i don't believe it. >> i'm sorry. literally, i tried five times and that's why i'm walking around. >> it's not going through. >> laura: joel. >> it's not about the president. it is about gavin newsom and his own administration. we have prioritized thne wrong things in our leaders in california.e ti gavin newsom has spent more time on transgender surgeries in red states then he has spent on wildfire prevention in his .own state. we have a number of other problems as well. we have a wildfire disaster.f because artificially kept the price of insurance resulting in companies leaving the state and people in palisades losing their policies. that is a disaster ozf another order, and economic disaster loominn g because of his

administration. we have to stop prioritizing identity politics and cultural v issues about saving lives. karen bass ran for mayor in 2022 against rick caruso. she said i am a real pro choice democrat implying he is notes pro-choice and i. the palisadeiss is only structue ouldin the village. he could protect property and life and obviously, karen bass cannot.. >> laura: dr. hemmati, joel, thank you to all of your friend and family, please stay safe ina reour prayers with all of you. join fox support of families who have been impacted by the california wildfires.o your donation really does help the red cross respond and to help people recover from this horrific disaster. so visit go. fox/red crossfox/red crosstosupr ts and/or scan the qr code on your screen. test the y head coach of the dems hnever believe there lies about trump and we have proof plus

tomorrow. it was 5-4 decision with justice thomas alito, courses w which, brett kavanaugh discontentjori and amy coney bat went with the majority. and jonathan turley will join us in a few moments but first, it was two and a half months that though obama was trying to find old magic on the trail warning america about trump. chi >> donald trump's former chief of staff said that trump told him he wanted his generals to bn like hitler's generals. but rule of thumb is, don't say you want to do anything like hitler. >> laura: that was stupid and v vicious.ic it was hyperbole. he never believed it, which is more obvious today if you watche the carter funeral where former president obama chatted up president-elect trump. 20 may now to discuss all of this correspondent kevin corke.

cabin, what was it about this interplay that was blowing atth social mediaey. >> you know what was interesting, danger to democracy. they didn't believe a minute of it and it is all hyperbole and lies. we heardmite the expression, its makes for strange bedfellows. that was on full display. president trump and obama downright chatty and chummy and laughing during the funeral. so much for a fine people on both sides and danger to democracy. .i believe it. sure, yo u do. fofor those that are not famili, listen they are routine particles happening at thingsen likets this. for example, dignitaries like i presidents and families greet each other in the green room, if you will be for a short out to respective seating ie n the sanctuary. so, you see them shake hands orh don't shakowe hands, don't overthink it butdi not to show affection for or disdain for bet each other in public.dy j check out the frosting is

between the first lady,e jill biden mvp kamala harris. we are tapping subzero, funeral frostbite. >> laura: funeral frostbite! >> meanwhile much to the chagrin and frankly embarrassment of those watching around the world, president biden appeared to doze off during the funeral before l being nudged awake by first lady. michelle obamaus, not there the only. first fails to miss it. she apparently had a scheduling conflict, laura. some say extended holiday in hawaii. >> laura: ise ot that what we ae culling away now? we have other obligations. >> like maui. >> laura: when push came in, he did walk by trump and get that cool push thing by trump with a little punch to obama you because they are buddies.wi olnnd trump, you know what,

winning is the best revenge. trump he won, and i think it doesn't feel good to them. >> will you look at that picture real quick? twice elected, twice elected, twice elected and yep, twice elected. >> laura: kevin, great to seenk has always. this is a fox news alert the supreme court denied trump's application to halt sentencing in the new york has many case,th which now will happen toon sentencing tomorrow. for a reaction to those, jonathan was turley law officerf "washington times" opinion editor charlie hurt. professor charlie, let's start with you. the court doesn't like to intervene what may be considerel political matters. your take on this and then i will tell you what i think the court should have been. >> well,pr this is what some ofs predicted when the appeals were jjust began. het played this perfectly and i say that not as a complement.

he knew thatt-el he was getting president-elect trump very helittle runway by which to take an appeal off. he also knew appellate courtse figenerally refer for sentenceso be fined wise and review as ara ntcase as a whole. he played those two cards toside guarantee he will be able to sentence president trump tomorrow. when that occurs, in many ways, he is going to create the ultimate o mandate for president trump. he will have established with finality the effect of lawfarepi on our political system. wan so president trump will go in as many on the left want him to go in as a convicted felon. but for many people in this country, he will also go in as the victim of welfare. this was the most outrageous of the cases. it was built on really not a

novel, but unprecedented theory, one that even the democratic senator from new jersey recently called bs. it was completely invalid. and that is the mandate that hea will givtee this president going into office.ice. >> laura: professor and we will get to charlie in a second, but when you look at this no, thone of the justifications for not granting the application for this state is that it wasn't a real inconvenience to the presidency. because the judge that indicated there is not going to be jail time. i it will benh there, but it won't be inhibiting his work as president. before justices disagreed with that and only when that didn't johnwas republican nominee amy coney barret thet and rober the other when the amy coney barrett voted with the majority. there were the core four that believe this was significant enough to say, not pulling this nonsense. >> that is right.an

the division on that court really does reflect how troublin g the case is overall. with this trial level judge has done in manhattan is to hold a presidential candidate now first president-elect and his courtroom on ahort short lease l mcleish. this is the same rating candidate for president in a campaign where his case was oneo of the issues most concern with voters. l it obviously is equal concern among four justices. >> laura: charlie, look, on this case, i think it is such ad travesty be an extraordinary case where allowing the process to go forward and normal worse s to the appellate, we have o seriounes problems facing this country. president trump does not need one more thing to deal with, t that is my view.his these justices sawin what it wai sathis dissent and unfortunately

five disagreed. look, i guescallngs it was a cle call according to professor turley. >> it is important point and certainly the point i think every american whether you put up or donald trump or not orar part of that 59-60% of americans who are expressing the pollsters they are hopeful we can sort of d in a positive direction. we have all of these problems and this is not anywhere in the list of problems i have. of course, this particular case as professor turley pointed out the real damage is leading theth case go forward in the first place. that is the real damage occurred here. and the gagging of somebody w actually running for president, teit runs counter to everythinge believe and ine terms of free speech and running robust in this country. band of course, donald trump w. he beat all of it.t thisof is a reminder i think foa lot ofe people of what the left

and what these crazy prosecutort did and tried to do to try toanp thwart the will of the american people. the american people looked at it , we don't care and willre not be confused about this but stick with the issues we care about. the issues in this case are not one of them. >> laura: alvin bragg today was ou t crowing about the casey, saying how important is for the country, professor turley. i would also argue judge merchan by issuing this "unconditional discharge" in this case also implicitlyw , in my view admits this is ridiculous. i'm sorry, unconditional discharge but he's a felon. to me, this is preposterous! i think the court should havek doneth away with this. i think the court at this onecas wrong. i don't saort y it just becausei support president trump.side i do support the presidency .hough >> i'm not surprised by chief justice roberts.

he oftenju experiences stickerin shock when istt comes to institutional issues. he doesn't want to giv ge the court heard of the politics of the moment. this is fairly consistent, i would say with his past rulingsi i say that because i truly't believ we that what motivates hm is the s core as an institution. he doesn't want to see cri the t at these critical moments make these decisions.is but the problem what is happening in manhattan, this is the last form of lawfare. alvin bragg is its happiest lawyer. at theyo end of thu e day, you e a case that was dead misdemeanor that was zapped back into life with novel m theory that turned into this mountain of felonies. and then it went before a judgew in my heel, discarded due process. we still do not know what the s to theided a underlying conduct in the case. i was in that courtroom --

>> laura: so was i. >> i was in disbelief how thein court was ruling. >> laura: this was a raw abuseef of judicial and prosecutorialth power in the united states. that is what it was. e but apparently we have fivegh justices on the supreme court. who thinks this has to go througy h normal course. are we surprised by amy coney barrett in this or not? >> no, justice barrett has been plaguing more and more of aole central role or centrist role of the court. c is often voting with the left of the court. she is sort of carving out her own voice and her own place. i don't want to condemn her for n it. >> it is her prerogative.>> >> she is a very thoughtful jurist. what she did here is consistent what appellateha judges do. they really prefer overwhelmingly to have thesehesh cases completed. they can review the whole case.

they hate interlock at torrey appeals and they hate these things coming up and partial form. she is consistent in that regard. >> laura: any time you sayin interlock a dory appeal onth "the laura ingraham" it is timeu to take a pause.st thank you, i got credit for that, thank you so much. >> thank you periods payment confirmation hearings for trump cabinet nominees begin next week and democrats are trying to h derail them. x is reporting chuck schumer is telling hifis party, get this, o create fireworks at ther earrings. he wants revenge for spending four years attacking the l democrat brand.mi >>li if the republicans is majority to make life more expensive for the working r families of the country and if donald trump and republicans use new majority to push the same old g.o.p. policies and tax cuts to the very rich, cuts the health care and trickle down economics, democrats will fight

back. >> l >> laura: is that i plan to get there? that was a little punch.in senator johnson, it has been aar long time and thank you for joining us.ss it. is now the new year and new congress. at the same from the democrats.s what is your plan over in the senate to combat what he is w planningan for the nominees including pete hegseth they wan> him in place day one. >> we will grind them down and thosdoe national does security nominations are critical to the contrary. it is important to get them done quickly.on t schumer and the democrats willtl not cooperate. you would think after the election they would learn and they did a little bit today. they got laken riley bill 84 votes to get owen the bill and obviously we will have to try th process it next week. atwilli am hoping they will como their senses and realize the election drumming that they took was a message for the american people. 's beam and it't didn' soundt se

it though. fireworks int th elizabeth warrn going out they are saying she will essentially make trouble for pete hegseth bringing in and ask lots of questions ands. demanding answers to 72 questions. advise and consent, i get that.k are you confident with pete hegseth wilagail get throuh thine senate? again, i don't try to prejudge until they go through the confirmation hearing but i think we have a path andha he's done really well into meetings he's had and he talked about his vision for the department focusing on the war fighter. he's got a great expanse not only as a bedroom but obviously a smart guy. so i'm : se hopeful. they went senator i know you said a couple of days ago your relationship with trump's evolving. i hear that word. and always ae little red flag there. yoidu want to get to the same destination, you said. whatbut, does that mean? it is diplomatic. but i think of it this way without him on the ticket in

november, i don'natet see thety republicans would have had. nees of the house or senate majority. may be they would have but i don't think so. shouldn't the president'sg whpriorities get serious deferee considering what he did to post the entire republican party? >> no doubt abou3 set it, he goa 77 million boats and three seat majority in the united states senate. he is the driving force behindav everything and the people in this country gave him a mandate. we intent to deliver on the mandate. my relationship with him is really good.migh i try not to overstate it in they might go to him and say o something elseth. >> laura: a lot of folks people like big deal. tim scott initially and lots of people have come along to understand the party is a different party than it was 20 years ago. >> a totally different party byr esthe time i got into politics. president trump has brought to the table constituencies, coalitions, groups of people

never voting republican in our. i think we have a greates opportunity that doesn'tn' come along very often and sometimes does not last long to get sometn really good things down for the american people thanks to president trump and his leadership>>. we are working closely with him to answer your question. >> laura: for an evolving relationship, well, k. diplomatic.tw >>o was trying to be t conservative. >> laurahat : two bills versus e bill what does that mean? here is the concern. the concern president trump has stated and probably still hasax that once republicans get theirh ettax cut, a lot of trump's othr priorities, whether tariffs were cutting ukraine funding will go by the wayside. he is concerned about that. do you think you can get 51 votes if two bills for some of these other, well, more unusual priorities that the president t has, unusual compared to the old

republican guard? >> well i think -- yes, what yoa described is an argument for t-billsomes because if you did the tax piece of it and otherla things, that is probably goingwe to be happening later in the year. i think we can do some things right out of the gate. >> laura: like what? >> border and security which is a huge priority for the presidenalt and militaryt readiness,ge increasing defense budget all offset. but did that and get a quick win and focus on the broader debate about taxes and the other issues you mentioned the, including opp spending cuts which i think we have a historic opportunity to o something about.an >> laura: are you worried without significant spending cuts a year from now or year and a half from now when these def numbers are going up and thats deficit is going up, he raiseswi interest rates? the this country is thrown into recession and republicans get wiped out in the midterms? that is what i'm worried about without real cuts. i know washington never wants to

cut. i know you are a fiscal conservative but we have seen yu spending go up across the board. >> i think what yo isu have to o an reconciliation is a great g opportunity to do it but you ecohave to slow the great ohmic rate in the tax side and taxthat regulatory, energy policies and all things we want to care about the reconciliation has wealth but then you have to slow growth and particularly mandatory programs and entitlement loprograms. that is something congress has not been able to do a long time. mai think the president has the mandate. i think members and the house b and senateot republicans, both if wwant to get this time. i think it iights important bece you are right, it is a train wreck peer to fiscal train wreck. we can't control monetary policy but we can control fiscal policy. >> laura: you will make a trip out to california republican leadership and it is a horrific situation. >> it really is and it isco unfortunate. this is conservativenservi mana. and i feel really, really sorry

and my heart goes out to thoseve who have lost their families and who have lost families. it is devastating. >> laura: bring california home. it is a wonderful state and doesn't deserv e what it isra getting right now. senator coach a thank you for joining us. we will watch the evolving relationship with trump. thank you so much. it is evolving. coming up california's twisted priorities. more and that because they are turning deadly. that is next.

win three and won all seven and we wonwe by a lot, not a little bit by a lot. we won the popular vote by a lot. i think that a lot of the fact and it was like, let's get something done. you look at facebook today andan yesterday and what they announced. that was a big concession from them. b they went from -- i called himi and locked boxes but i called him and locked boxes because they seemed to be unlocked a loo of times. but yockedu went from unlocked s to a statement yesterday talking about free speech. what a difference that is. thewe appreciate that. h but i think they have gained a j lot ofef respect. we have had everybody, jeff bezos came and bill gates cameti, mark zuckerberg came and many came numerous times. the bankers have come and everybody is coming. i have not had anybody saying me and i'm nott used to it. but a lot of it is respect. i think i respect the republican

party. the republican party has become ea much bigger party and a party fo, ifr the worker. if you look at all of the uniong votes eti got in when i say i, t is all of us together becausee o it's the whole thing. but we won the teamsters and we did great with autoworkers. all had the lee union, and nonunion states we won by a lot. we won the highest vote evergott gotten. and so it's been a great period of time.erst >> reporter: world leaders have called you as well. we understand still no call from putin. is that day one or week one? >> president-elect trump: he wants to meet. we are setting it up. president xi, we have had a lot of communication. we have a lot of meeting set upn with a lot of people. some have come but i would t until after the 20th. >> reporter: thing you say tomeet with putin or meet with president xi, do you want to

have assignment or have it here? >> president-elect trump: to be determined. president putin wants to me and said that publicly. we have to get that war over.le that is a bloodied mask. soldiers are being killed by the millions. i looked at some very graphickn picturesow yesterday of soldiers beinbug killed. you know, it is a flat field appear until the only thing that stops a bullet is a body. these are very, very flat land. and the soldiers are fighting and they are dying by the hundreds of thousands. not to mention the towns and the cities, you know, largelynd demolished. the big surprise that is goingsu to be an unpleasant surprise is. how many people were killed in that war. it is much higher than the press is reporting. when a building comes down and these are big buildings two andn three blocks long. different construction, long, not that totally many cases but 20 stories.

when a building like that comes down and say nobodcan.y was inj to, no, no, hia lot of people ae killed. i think the numbers arneveed ieh higher and that is a war that would have never happened if i were present and a war i willer try to stop as quickly as i can hear to the number of people dying on a daily basis when i get the reports every single day, and largely soldiers at this point, but the number of people both russia and ukraine, it is staggering.a >> reporter: when you threaten tariffs on canada a couple of weeks ago, justin trudeau rushed down here to make nice. now he is on the way out. is that what you wanted? >> president-elect trump: i didn't think h ne was going to quit. you probably saw the numbers. look, i call him governor justin trudeau because it should beth the 51st state ad would make a great state. of the people of canada like it. they would pay lower taxes and virtually no military virtually a small military and pay less than 1%. they are the lowest payer in

nato. they should pay more that they haven't been paying. they have a lot of problems. i was with wayne gretzky and wayne, would you likimage to be governor of canada? i cannot imagine anybody doing better than wayne that he was not too interested. but i think he probably would like -- he is a good friend of mine. we call him the great one, great hockey player. but i will say this. i think it was stated pretty strongly a couple of weeks agoe about canada and people laughed they are all stating it is very interesting. i say from the standpoint of the united states. we are subsidizing canada $250 billion a year. we have massive deficits. they have taken 20% of our car business. i would rather do what year we don't have tariffs on them yet but that will happen. but they have taken about 20% of our car business. i would have it done in detroita

or south carolina or any other state thathave does cars, and we have a lot of them. we don't need canada for that. we don't need canada for lumber becausizede we have big forestst are not utilized and in some cases protection and i can take the protection off. you take down a tree and grow ap better tree.rewe d that is better, end. we don't need their fuel, we don't need their energy, we don't need there oil and gas. i said to justin trudeau, why arwee we subsidizing you $20,250,000,000,000 a year question ricky said, "i really don't know." i said, well but i don't know either. what would happen to canada if we didn't? canada would be obliterated if that happened. w then canade a should be a 51st state. that is where we are now.av >> reporter: kind of disappeared suddenly. ppendeal do you have any idea wt

happened to the drones? >> president-elect trump: what e happened to the drones? >> reporter: is a government with the k drones over new jers. >> president-elect trump: i don't know, over bedminster a t lot.to i will give you a report on drones about one day into thego administrationin. i think it is ridiculous they are not telling you what is going on with the drones. g it is not only with me, glenn was telling me today in virginia they have drones all over the place and nobody is reporting it. you want to say something about it? >> reporter: one quick comment, we are home to the largest naval base in the world quantico and a lot of the seal's teams with national security structure. map for two years running we have had drone incursion over secure airspace. and we still don't know why. i think that is absolutely unacceptable. anand i think president trump ay tthe new leadership coming andi think will work diligently to understand who is behind this

and what we do to stop the digita tl surveillance of all of our security infrastructure.k >> reporter: we were dealing with a terrorist attack in new orleans, we had drones thrown ove in r our nuclear reas in louisiana. t we brought the attention that day and asking to give the state's ability to mitigate the drones. bit isre sitting on a bureaucras desk. that israel. >> president-elect trump: nobody knows and they don't want it.g toto talk about it. w governor, you were going to say... >> we have drones flying over our infrastructure as well. is incredibly frustrating that not onl it y do we have noy of knowing what it is, but nobody knows how to deal with it. >> president-elect trump: they don't want to talk about it and nobody knows why. that could be sending drones. i hope that is the case us doing research abo or maybe they don't want to talk about it from that standpoint. i hope it is not an enemy.

we will find out on the 21st, the day after and you have to give me a little time for the inauguration but shortly after we will give you e a report and tell you exactly what it is. they know and it is very change they are not talking about it. peter, thank you very much. does biden do this kind of news conference? >> reporter: this is my longest interview ever have a present them. >> president-elect trump: the longest before this was oneio question and they would rush you out of the room, right? we have nothing to hide. thank you all very much.at 'sthank you, thank you, peter. >> laura: he went to the test pattern. mathat is a new one. joining me now kevin o'learye dochairman of o'leary adventures after a wide-ranging conversation with steve doocy's on, course, peter, the full reporter at mar-a-lago tonight. kevin, trump spoke a lot about canada becoming the 51st state.. now, i know you met with

president trump and the last few days. your reaction to what you just heard.lway >> i always tell everybody and. you know this with certainty, i have been listening to trump for 12 years and everybody has.ar he hasn, bombastic and he's controversial. you have to learn as i have to o differentiate the signal from the noise. there was a lot of noise in b back. it s interesting and it is controversial. but the signal is there is an economic opportunity. when equ i try to buy a plant tr equipment and i go into a state to buy and manufacturing i facility andt' they tell me it'i wortllh $200 million. you know what, i think iurt is worth $20 million. we don't need your equipment here and the a rat running around in the boiler room and it's negotiating, i get it, i did that all all the timeru myself. but we talk about the deficit

trump mentioned $200 billion, $188 billion is the energy coming out of alberta imported in the u.s. about 60% of energy brought into the united states comes from alberta. alberta has more oil than all of the united states. that is the union right there. that is an opportunity to do something incredible to strengthen both jurisdictions. do you talk about currency wisee and trading all the commodities in u.s. dollars anyways. you know, if u.s. canadians, hey, do you want to sell your sovereignty, identity, t passpo, ecothe answer is no end that is what the poll was. if you want to explore thein strongest jurisdiction on earth, they are interested. i don't have to listen to pollsters and i have 10 million viewers and they are intereste l and want to hear more. that is what we are talkingni abouont and i think trump has an interesting idea on union. that is the signal thatn, wdisregard the noise. >>o laura: kevin, we have to talk about tiktok because i know

it down. there are two choices. the supreme leader shut it downl arates is $22 billion of institutional money like that. g that wiloil make a lot of people unhappy. a much harder time to raise moneucy and the future just because a bad hair day you lose $32 billion. or the only viable option frankr anand my offer, which gives the. stay for 90 days. if biden says, look, a viableno buyer here because now you have got it and he gives them 90 days, the next day, four hours later we are dealing with that. i'm going to mar-a-lago on the weekend and have to deal with donald and i need his help. >> laura: kevin, we will be watching. itways is great to have you on s always. thank you for joining usue. t that is it for us tonight. continue fox news alert. firefighters are starting to
