[audio logo] alicia: a new flare-up overnight in the palisades fire has led to new mandatory evacuation orders.

as the fire moves northeast toward mandeville canyon, now threatening the brentwood areas. this as the santa ana winds are expected to pick up today and continue through wednesday. the los angeles county sheriff's office has said a curfew in in effect from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in all evacuation with areas impacted by the palisades and eaton wildfires. the wildfires have kill killed 11 people, and 13 others remain missing. welcome to "fox news live," i'm alicia acuna. we're going to hand it over to you, griff, and more of your excellent reporting. griff: well, alicia, it's great to be with you but, unfortunately, we are many such devastation to show you. in the church that we've been behind, those parents coming to recover a tile in the last hour. if you just take a look up the street, you can really get a sense for just how widespread the devastation is.

it's everywhere you go in this palisades area. and a lot of emotional reminders, alicia. someone took a piece of charm and wrote, stay strong. clearly, this community, those parents, they're going to have a long rebuild on that. it's interesting, we've been hearing about a half a dozen or more fire and first responder helicopters fly being over us here in the palisades area where more than 321,000 acres -- 21,000 acres have been burned more than 5300 buildings destroyed. helicopters are flying to the northeast, that's where max gorden is on the ground. i suppose those helicopters are headed your way overhead soon. >> reporter: yes, absolutely. we talked to l.a. city fire department earlier today. they say that all of their assets are on this side of the palisades fire. it's grown to around the 22,600 acres, currently at 11 1%

containment. -- 11% containment. overnight there was a flare-up, and you can see what is happening. we have this ridge line here where firefighters are undergoing structure protection, getting these homes ready in case the flames crest this ridge. essentially, what they are likely doing is moving away brush, lawn furniture, potentially cutting away decks, anything that might burn in the case this fire crests this ridge right here. and we've been seeing a lot of aerial resources taking this fire. these helicopter pilots extremely skilled, flying very, very low, dipping beneath the ridge line making water drops on this fire. we've seen a chinook helicopter, several actually, very large twin-rotor aircraft making drops here. but, yeah, it is very rugged terrain here. tough for fite firefighters to get in and make a ground attack. you can see how rugged the terrain is behind me, but it's

interspersed with all of these homes. this is known as the wildland urban interface, challenging for firefighters especially considering the conditions. it's very, very dry, and we're likely going to to see the wind pick up. 15 to 30 mile-per-hour winds with gusts up to 50 miles per hour. residents here told to to get ready to evacuate. griff? griff: all right. max gorden in the brentwood area for us monitoring that. stay safe, max. i want to take a moment now and bring in the mayor of calabasas, peter out. crout. our hearts and thoughts, prayers go out to you. what is the situation in calabasas, how is your community handling this? >> well, good morning and thank you for your continued coverage of this horrific event. the city of calabasas is resilient here. at this point in time the palisades fire is not imminently affecting us, a although we've been threatened on multiple

fronts throughout this ordeal. our emergency operations center is working around the clock, staffed 24/7. our public works department is patrolling the streets looking for hazards. our library has been open giving internet services and power the those who have lost power in the area. our hearts go out to the communities around us of that have lost so much, but calabasas so far has been very fortunate. we are without power, but the winds are blowing away from the city at this moment in time, and and we're just anxiously monitoring them like everybody else waiting to see what we can do and how we can be of help to our community. griff: and, mr. mayor, as you are seeing, the winds are shifting. so right now it looks good, but i've certainly learned being on the ground here just for 24 hours that the people here realize now in this unprecedented firestorm that conditions can change very quickly. is your are community fully prepared to act swiftly if

things change for calabasas, and are there additional resources you feel you still need? >> the city of calabasas, again, is in good shape right now. we are served by l.a. county fire department, and we are super proud and impressed of the heroic efforts of chief maroney, assistant chief smith, our liaison, megyn courier, and all the brave men and women who have been putting their lives on the line to protect us. multiple agencies are involves -- involved, cal fire, l.a. city fire, and just yesterday during the kenneth fire, the day before -- i've lost so much track of time. during the ken e nyet fire just on our northern border, kenneth, ventura county was involved as well. so many agencies are putting their resources together, and we feel, we feel so protected here and so fortunate to have come this far. griff: mr. mayor, you mentioned

that you've lost track of the days. we were talking with a couple in the last hour who came to this palisades church and preschool to collect tiles of their children, and he -- the father told me, he said it's been five days, it feels like it's the been five months, what they've gone through. what has this personally been like for you as you reflect on on the past five days? >> yeah. the past five days have been insane. the palisades fire broke out so quickly with those 100 mile-an-hour winds, certainly 80 miles an hour with gusts even higher than that. i just happened so suddenly, and the situation changes so fast. it's been so hard to keep track the of. when the kenneth fire broke out, there were first reports of smoke around 2:45. by 3:30 we were evacuated, and by 8:15 we were allowed back into our homes. many of us just stayed out. many of us have come back. we're all without power at least

in calabasas, most of calabasas is without power. and having the deal with that you just lose all track of what's going on, and we're stuck on the news channels watching what's going on, waiting for more information and waiting for an end to this. griff: mr. mayor, just in the last 30 seconds i've got, what are your thoughts as you think about the future, what comes next and how long it's going to take for the surrounding communities to rebuild? >> well, it will, it will take a long time for the surrounding communities to rebuild. and helpfully the fire departments -- hopefully the fire departments can get a handle on this and get it stopped before it continues any further. you know, we're going to to have to pull together as a community with all of our resources and support those around us that suffered worse. griff: well, mr. mayor, please keep us updated on calabasas. relieved to hear for you your

town and city and community is safe but that can change, obviously, given the conditions out here. thank you, mayor peter kraut, for taking time. >> thank you. griff: alicia? alicia: for more let's bring in pacific palisades resident orly israel who had to evacuate his home because of the fires. it's good to see you. you know, i did see an interview you did earlier this week on our air. you were very positive. you with -- it struck me how light in spirit you appeared given what you'd been through, and i'm just wondering how you're doing now here on this saturday. how's your family? >> you know, the family's good, as good as we can be. we may have lost our house, but we didn't lose our sense of humor, our gratitude, the lo we feel from others. alicia: i mean, that's pretty striking and amazing when you look around at how your entire lives have changed. but it's good to hear. what focus would want to know is that you and your family, you

initially grabbed all your items when you realized what was headed your way and you evacuated. then you ran into a friend of yours who's also a storm chaser, tanner charles, you went back to your house to try the fight this off before realizing it wasn't going to work. the reason i bring all this up is because the winds now going to kick up again, is and it's expected to get pretty bad in the next couple of days. when you hear that and you know there are folks out there who might try to do the same thing, they might try to stay in their home, they might resist the evacuation orders, given your experience, what do you recommend to them? what would you say? >> well, if the hoses don't work, don't stay. i think there's so much confusion going on, is and i've been back to the palisades and seen that there are neighborhoods where one out of twenty houses is burned down and neighborhoods where 19 out of 20 the houses are burned down. and so i'd say this is a little

bit reckless, but if you have an escape route and you know it's secure, then don't let the fire take your house. you know, we left only because we were keeping track of the escape route and once it seemed compromised, we left right away. alicia: i mean, that feels like such an impossible decision to have to make, first, what to take with you, but then also at what point you have the leave everything behind. and authorities are just trying to work with residents to make sure they stay safe and keep firefighters safe as well. we did get an update just a little bit ago from the if mayor of los angeles, karen because. take a listen. -- karen bass. >> you saw last night that the fires intensified. the palisades fire expanded leading to additional evacuations and in encino and parts of brentwood. alicia: okay. so it looks like authorities are doing their best to keep you guys abreast of what's going on. how do you feel things are going?

do you feel like you're keeping up with what's going on? are they keeping you informed? [no audio] alicia: and it sounds like we have lost connection with orly israel. but we do appreciate his time and wish the best to his family. moving on, president biden remaining in washington this weekend following a q&a with reporters last night on a range of topics including how he thinks the election would have gone if he had stayed in. lucas tomlinson is live9 from the white house with the latest. hi, lucas. >> reporter: good afternoon, alicia. that's right. first, we heard over the holidays if from anonymous sources that that biden thinks he should have stayed in the race, maybe could have won, then he said the same thing to susan page of "usa today," and and last night if biden told reporters he thinks he would have won the race. >> i think i would have beaten trump, could have beaten trump, and i think that kamala could have beaten trump and would have

beaten trump. it wasn't about -- i thought it was important to unify the party. and when the party was worried about whether or not i was going to be able to move -- >> reporter: it's not clear what biden meant when he said kamala could have beaten trump. the results from the election were pretty clear. earlier in the day, biden offers gavin new and l.a.'s a mayor full support saying it's not their fault there was no water coming out of those fire hydrants. >> look, you know, i think you're getting a bad rap. i know you're getting a bad rap about these fire high. durants don't have enough water in them. give me a break. give me a break. what this is all about is the utilities, understandably. what they did is they cut i off power because they're worried about these high tension lines coming down and causing more fires in the wind, right? when they do that, guess what? they shut off the power,, the that controls for the ability to pump the water.

>> reporter: the l.a. times is reporting the power outages had nothing to do with water not being available. congress recently approved $100 billion in aid for hurricanes helene and milton. that -- some refrain lawmaker -- republican lawmakers blame l.a. and state officials for the mess. >> help is on the way from president trump and a new administration. but when it comes to congressional funding, the idea that we're going to have an open checkbook no matter how bad your policies are is crazy. if. >> reporter: biden was supposed to be in italy this weekend meeting with the pope. that trip was scrapped so he could monitor and direct federal resources from here in the white house. we are not expecting to see him today to. alicia? alicia: okay. lucas tomlinson live at the white house. good to see you. thank you. griff? ♪ griff: alicia, as we continue to show you the damage, walls the

gnawed if owe -- griffin griff alicia, we're walking the street here, and you can just see total devastation as far as the eye looks. here in this area nothing but a plaque in memory of john cea. it is the first responders and the fire, police, the water and power truck just driving by, the helicopters overhead that are giving these communities some hope that at least there's someone here for them the include national guard and some to other areas here as we continue to try and put in context just how devastating, costly and impactful this fire has been with concerns it could spread. alicia? alicia: griff, folks there need all the hope they can get at this point. thank you so much. we'll be right back to you in just a second. right now, our fox crew was embedded with the california national guard troops in los

angeles county last night to see the devastation firsthand. christina coleman is live in altadena with more. hi, christina. >> reporter: hi, alicia. yeah, we were with them here in altadena as they helped secure this area. they are guarding different intersections trying to keep people out of this area. they don't want them to get hurt by some of the downed power lines and all of this debris. you know, some of the buildings that have been crumbling, you can see all of this rubble here. they want to keep people safe. they are working with california highway patrol, and authorities understand that emotions are running high, that people want to get back in here and check on their homes, but they are urging people to, please, be patient with them. take a listen. >> please be patient with us. we're trying to be empathetic. we understand this is terrible, to be out of your home, you know, and to lose your home. it's not only the possessions that are in your home, but the it's the memories you've made in that home which are very difficult. >> reporter: the guardsmen are also assisting local authorities

in guiden people who have been evacuated -- guiding people who have been evacuated, who need help where to go and where to get resources as emotions are running high. the soldiers were deployed here wednesday, some of them sleeping nearby if at a california highway patrol communications center so they can be very close to areas around the clock. they can be exactly where they are needed as soon as they can. as they collaborate with the l.a. county sheriff's department, california highway patrol and lapd to protect lives and property. so far the deadly eaton fire here has claimed the lives of six people, burned more than 14,000 acres and destroyed or damaged more than 7,000 structures making it the second most destructive wildfire in california's history. combined, these devastating fires around l.a. county have destroyed just so much including the homes of two of the california national guardsmen who still offered to help out.

>> both of them lost their house, their homes to the fires. one of them has a family, and both of them wanted to come out. both of them wanted to be part of the operation and to help the community. the fact that they still wanted to come out after they experienced personal tragedy speaks volumes to their character. >> reporter: it really does. and i can say there has been so much resill wrens here, there have been -- resilience here, there have been so many people all over l.a. county giving donations, trying to see what they can do to help out. they want to give back during this tragic and difficult time. and more guardsmen are on their way here to help out as these crews continue to battle these wildfires. alicia? alicia: and there are so many different ways this fire's being attacked, showing us what the national guard is doing as part of the assistance, just wonderful to see. thank you so much. christina coleman in altadena. so for more on how this wildfire is impacting residents, let's

bring in evacuee of the eaton fire from pasadena, california, month tez jacques. and i hope i did say your name correctly. i want to know how you are doing and how's your family. >> hi. yeah. thank you for pronouncing my name correct. my last name is jacques. me and my family were displaced. we're right next to the eaton fire in pasadena on the border of pasadena and altadena. the fire didn't hit our house to directly, but the ash and the smoke was so severe that they cleared everybody out of the area. alicia: and from what i understand, you did have friends who did lose their homes. i can't imagine trying to to go back to this neighborhood and trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces with your community. that that's got to be tough. >> yeah, it's really, really scary. we actually tried to go back home, but, you know, the national guard is there just making sure that people are

staying out of the homes because of the danger and safety and the looters and, of course, i have some friends that lost their homes. my barber actually lost his home and his five kids that live there and, you know, they have a gofundme up on my instagram right now if anybody wants to donate. alicia: is and we have been getting consistent updates from authorities on the ground there, and we did hear from the mayor that there was a little bit of good news that the containment is starting, and it's continuing to grow slowly, which is good news. however, we also understand that the winds are supposed to increase and kick up later today, really tomorrow and the beginning of the week. when you hear that, what goes through your mind in terms of what you can do next and just general concern over the southern california area? >> well, me myself, i do my best to kind of stay calm, plan ahead. whatever the next step is, whatever the professionals say to do, get that done.

make sure that my family is also trying the stay calm, know that everything is in control. trust the fire department to take care of everything that needs to be done and, you know, all galore arely to god. he has a plan -- glory to god. he has a plan. alicia: absolutely. we did hear from someone from fema at the most recent news concern, and they said more than 60,000 people have already started applying for more than some sort of assistance. the assistance that's being offered by fema, by the small business administration is vast. they're helping people with 40 hotel rooms, with temporary housing, if they need help replacing their cars. i mean, it runs the gamut, hospital bills, funeral bills. that's so sad. what i'm wondering is do you know anyone who's tried to tap into these resources? are they getting the help they need? is it just too soon to try the figure that out? >> me personally, i haven't applied for any assistance and don't know of anyone that applied for that assistance yet.

i'm fortunate enough to have a job that i'm able to do remote, so i'm still getting work cone. but as far as those benefits and assistance, i don't have any personal experience on that. alicia: got it, okay. well, hopefully your neighbors are able to get into that reservoir quite quickly so they can get back on their feet. we're really hoping for the best there. i just have one quick question because we are hearing a lot from authorities on the ground as i mentioned but we're also seeing back and forth with local and national politicians. do you feel as a resident that you're getting what you need? are you even caught up in any of that? >> well, i try to stay abreast of all of the information that's coming out, but sometimes it's a little bit hard to receive unbiased information, so you can look on twitter, you can look on facebook and system people are saying, oh -- some people are saying, oh, you know, these water reservoirs should have been refilled, some saying that they took the funding out from

here to there and whatever. so, you know, you get a lot of mixed information from everywhere so you never really know what's really going on. alicia: yeah. mixed information. that's what makes it really hard when you're stuck in the middle of all of this. the mayor says she's hoping to get an accounting of everything that that has happened up until this point and moving forward. monotez jacques, we hope the best for you and your family. >> thank you very much for that. and just one more time, my barber did lose his home, he does have five kids. not only does he cut my hair, you can see i need a haircut really badly, but his go fund if maine, i posted the link on my instagram -- go gofundme, and any donation, $1, $5 anything helps him. alicia: every little bit helps. thank you so much. hope cu you get him some help as well. thank you. so los angeles communities impacted by the wildfires need

the country. all it did was galvanize an army of america first patriots who handed republicans to oval off the, the senate and the house. so -- to value office. president trump is going to do his job, and together we're going to start securing our border with tom tom homan, fixing the economy and making sure that americans writ large have the support they need. alicia: and, you know, david, looking ahead and looking at the president-elect's agenda, everybody's trying to get finish as we heard alexis mcadams saying, everyone's trying to get a meeting with the president-elect, trying to get on his dance card because folks want to get a lot done, democrats and republicans. on the ajean and on this big, beautiful bill that trump wants passed, the house freedom caucus met with him last night at mar-a-lago. and if there's going to be trouble from republicans, it's likely going to come from the house freedom caucus. and with a razor thin majority that the republicans have,

democrats have a choice to make here. heir boeing to -- they're going to help the president get some of this this done and those who elected him or not. your thoughts? >> well, yeah. i mean, look, the gop if ran on these bread and butter issues, but they've been distracted by bread crumbs of conspiracies. and i think that's a major problem. donald trump is talking about greenland, about canada, about panama. he's talking about everything but what really matters to the american people, and that's bringing down the cost of groceries, that's about making sure that our streets are safe. and while donald trump might be focused on these issues behind closed doors, he's using his bully pulpit in all difference types of ways. and if that's going to be very hard for democrats when republicans won't even support donald trump's agenda. it's going to be hard to get those democrats onboard. now, of course, it's yet9 to be seen what exactly is in this legislation and if there are priorities that democrats

support, i imagine that they will support him. and i hope that's the way that we move forward, that it's not this hyperpartisan environment. the election is over for now. but, of course, that doesn't last that long, and we're back into the politics. but i think donald trump right now, he holds the cards, and he has the opportunity to reach across the aisle and engage with democrats. it's his opportunity tad to do that, and i hope he -- to do that, and i hope he seeks that opportunity. i believe if he does it the right way, there will be democrats that do give in and support pieces of his agenda. alicia: you know, david, you bring all the bully pulpit. the current president used his the other day to say this. take a listen. >> i think i would have beaten trump, could have beaten trump, and and i think that kamala could have beaten trump and would have beaten trump. it wasn't about -- i thought it was important to unify the party. and when the party was worried about whether or not i was going to be able to move --

alicia: david, that's got a lot of people scratching their heads. >> well, i think what president biden is articulating is that, look, it's not all about ego. of course, that enters everyone's mind especially when you're the commander in chief, but it's about what's right for the country and recognizing, as he has indicated, that he thought he could win, but he did recognize the realities of his just physical ability if he could do that for the next four years. and i think he came to grips with that and did what was right not just for his political future, but what was right for the american public. and i think that's what legacy will show as years go on or days and we have an opportunity to look at this in the rearview mirror. we will see that biden, time and time again, did what he thought was right for our country, not what he thought was right prettily. alicia: joe -- politically. alicia: joe, you've got

democratic senator john fetterman heading to mar-a-lago to meet with president-elect trump. your thoughts. >> look. there's a lot to unpack here. i think, first and foremost, the president is talking about putting together a massive bill that will encompass all of the priorities that the americans voted for that david is talking about, the tax cuts that were promised, the no tax on tips which, by the way, democrats tried the steal and put in their own platform. the securing of the border which has bipartisan agreement including the deportation of those who have come this country and raped and killed and maimed. and so, yes, president trump is certainly prioritizing that, and democrats once again are trying to change the narrative, joe biden there saying he was trying to unify. democrats have the opportunity to model unify. -- unity. and, by the way, looking across the sea to greenland, if we understand that the next world
