>> griff jenkins joins us from the pacific palisades now. griff. reporter: good morning, charlie rachel and will and los will be dealing like the apocalyptic image to come let's catch you up the death toll is rising to 16 and palisades fire, main fire only 11% contained some 23,000 plus acres have been destroyed. try to put that in perspective central park there in new york is 843 acres. so you're talking about a size more than 25 times central park. there's some 5300 plus homes and buildings like the one behind me have been destroyed other fire we're watching the eaton fire 15% contained more than 14,000 acres destroyed. but on the ground and in the sky, firefighters continue to battle take a look. at the footage of the planes

dropping that in mandeville canyon area they're fighting trying to break from the fires coming down the canyon threatening homes in areas like mandeville canyon and also in brentwood. densely populated areas, that is the focus of their threat now. the winds starting to pick up a little bit more where we are. now, the emotional component to this is hard to put into perspective. because here we can show you some video of parents here at the structure behind me was a preschool. john and cameron dale digging through the rubble looking for painted tiles of their children to have some remnants of their childhood very emotional speaking with their father john dale. listen here. >> when we kind of realized that this wall is -- might be some of the only artwork that any of our friends, families -- our friends have we were all of

a sudden in a panic because we know this might all get bull dozed i have video of the wall so i'll try to piece together because it is like -- it sent us into a panic attack in addition to all of the other things we're trying to get through. >> and in in addition to the firefighters being out here we're seeing a large law enforcement presence police cars patrolling these neighborhoods and the ones that have been evacuated like brentwood and mandeville canyon looking for looters more than 20 looters have been arrested so far we're also waiting for mayor karen bass to give an update in a few hours at a press conference on where the stats stand. but right now people are just trying to get things to put the pieces back together and there are on the outsides of this security perimeter to get into areas like this where only firefighters first responders and media are let in. you see lines of residents and areas not affected in some that have been trying to get back to

see exactly where their properties stands. charlie, will, rachel. >> thanks griff. thanks griff. bring in fox news anchor shannon bream. shannon great to see you this morning. here we have it. this tragedy continues to unfold before us it is not over yet we see the numbers continuing to go up on both the number of buildings that have been burned number of people we've already lost. i know that you had an exclusive interview with the vice president elect which we're expecting to see todays on fox news sunday. shannon: that's the first thing we asked him about because it is first and foremost on most americans minds you see the people like griff was talking to and see the absolute heartbreak and devastation the apocalypse is the best way to describe some of the images we're seeing and folks have no idea when it is under control and how they'll ever get that are lives back together and some lives now up to 16 gone. so i asked the vice president elect about how this new

administration may handle things differently here's a built of what he told me. >> whenever your political affiliation it is hard not to be heartbroken for fellow americans going through a very tough time i think frankly the federal government has to do a better job president trump is committed to doing a better job when it comes to disaster relief that's true for the hurricane victims and flood victims in north carolina it is true for the fire victims in california. we have to do a better job we need competent good governance. >> we're talking, fema administrator when she joins thus morning as well so a lot of questions and a lot of investigation that will have to happen and people really hoping there will actually be some accountability and teeth to getting answers making sure this stuff doesn't continue to happen. >> shannon this has been -- is an incredible interview that you had with him because you were able to talk with him about special council jack smith and the j sixers so start with jack

smith. >> quietly in a footnote filing in court we find out that jack smith is done with his work with the doj and has separated in his words from them so longer part of that -- investigate iive process no lonr affiliated with the doj we were expecting he would leave before trump got into office so now he's off the job but that doesn't mean the reports he's left behind are not going to see the light of day there's a lot of litigation over that. so we're going maybe see within hours or days some of what he put together in his case against president trump even though the federal cases are essentially over. so there's that. and i did ask the vice president elect too about this review of j sixers pardons where they draw the line and he was clear if there's been any violence illegal activity that crossed a line, those preem going to be not eligible and he believes there are hundreds if not more who actually will be in line for some kind of pardon from president trump. >> yeah. it is incredible, and you know,

people don't realize that a lot of people were very egregiously prosecuted by the way for j sixers committed suicide longest 20 years old no one is talking about that either. so glad to hear that that's something they want to take on in the early days because that's -- a huge injustice thank you. will: here's a little bit he's sitting down with you going to air that coming up on fox news sunday her jd vance on the process for january 6th pardons. >> january 6th pardons president trump says there's a process where is the line drawn on who will and wouldn't be considered for a pardon? >> i think it is simple if you protested peacefully on january the 6th and merrick garland treat you like a gang member you should be pardoned if you committed violence on that day, obviously, you shopght be pardoned and a gray area there and we're very much committed to seeing equal administration of law and there are a lot of people we think in the wake of january the 6th who were prosecuted unfairly we need to

rectify that if . >> good stuff so what else do you have coming up on fox news sunday? shannon: in addition to the fema director and we'll talk about the situation i hope in north carolina as well as eve this a winter storm there and people are losing their temporary housing and hotels. we've also got shelly the gop senator from west virginia she's the one who invited president trump to the meeting on the hill this week. i want to get her inside scoop on how that went also now going to be chair of the senates environmental and public works committee. and they do have some authority when it comes to water usage and resources in the country. so i'm really interested to find out from her what role they may play in california. which it sounds like most of what happens out there is state role and state authority. but i want to know what the federal role is too so we'll find out from her. will: all right thank you so much we'll be watching. fox news sunday. >> thanks shannon. that's fascinating that interview. >> absolutely. really interesting stuff, and i think people are following it. i know someone in the town who

was -- purple heart and he's on a no fly list didn't enter the capitol. there's a lot of injustices going on and i mention those suicides from people who have been just harassed and just -- petrified by their own government this is the stuff you see in cuba. many of these are in many ways many of them are just political prisoners. >> fascinating to see how much they're going to do on day one potential for a hundred executive orders day one focus on this as well. rachel: interesting. will: a little bit over a week away from and there are those talking about -- maga fest destiny when it comes to day one talk to president trump pushed forward about the panama canal, canada, and greenland will the united states look to expand? will it look to buy greenland well, of course, pushback on that by the danish prime minister greenland a territory of denmark.

but the -- is it the prime minister of greenland in the official title -- i think prime minister of greenland? >> you should have to pronounce his name. >> prime minister of greenland go ahead -- >> it is like buttigieg -- i don't know. >> glad for you. charlie went after you because i couldn't have done it. i don't know it but he's the president and this is what he says. he says that the hill says that he was asked dug a press conference in copenhagen on friday if he was in touch with the president elect and he said no. but he added that he's ready to talk. >> let's go. what do you think that means? >> so, obviously, he's not president yet. he is -- , of course, he's stirred up more tension to this. by throwing these things out there and i think they are first of all that i think the greenland canada thing and panama canal are things that

should be taken seriously. but even if you -- even if that's not what we wind up doing we don't take over canada and invade greenland, the idea that this is the way trump is going to reframe of the conversation so we're talking about these things -- i think it is a very, very healthy powerful move for the united states to reother yengt the way china and russia views the globe. >> i don't think it is just about -- but i don't think it is just about china. by the way you saw video there from donald trump jr. along with charlie kirk visited greenland in the middle of the fire storm like we're here. [laughter] >> i don't think it may be for donald trump. it may be for the administration all about china and russia. it is not for me. i've looked at the american experiment. and i think it's always been expansionist. it has always been -- >> the purchase highly criticize that -- >> pushing and everything is

crazy talk it is crazy. you know what is crazy ?awk the guys who said i think i'm going to sail across the atlantic for a better life that's crazy talk. get out of here, chris. you know, -- rachel: or alaska. will: or the frontiersmen who said a better life beyond the woods. see the plains out there full of hostiles that's where i'm going to set up shop that is crazy talk. get out of here. well you know what i don't know if it is natural resources, minerals national security but united states continue to view itself with a lens of manifest destiny good for america. >> maga fest destiny. get with the program, will. rachel: eve i have a painting called manifest destiny it is part you're so right it is part of american sort of -- history and culture. and if nothing else then i love how big thinking you are about this. but it is really about china.

[laughter] and minerals and exerting this -- i mean, we were so on the defense or just sort of neutered under joe biden and donald trump before even enters into office is saying, you know what we had disirkburg on talking about energy we are actually getting that through donald trump not mark zuckerberg that masculine energy is saying we're now dominant you're not china. going to be in our backyard you're not running around laps around us. we're now stepping up. charlie: not to overstate it but you know what else is the american spirit it is the same spirit that gets somebody to say you know what, i have a swimming pool. and i'm in an area that has wildfires. i'm going to figure out how to get a generator and a pump so that i can protect my house from the fires. rachel: you're so right that was the most american story we did today. i live in a city that's run by a communist karen bass and it is

not functioning. and i'm going to take a -- pump and i'm going to save my house with my pool. >> and my neighbors. my neighbor's house amen to that. will: turning now to your headlines president-elect trump sending middle east steve witkoff to israel for this weekend to push for hostage and cease-fire deal in gaza before trump is sworn into office whit cough meeting with benjamin netanyahu reported telling him trump wants to see a deal within days. it comes as netanyahu dispatches top negotiators to qatar this week with negotiations ongoing. ♪ ♪ the three new orleans police officers who shottage kilted the new year's day terror attack suspect getting honored during yesterday's wild card playoff game in houston between the texans and l.a. chargers. new orleans police sergeant nigel along with christian byer and jacobi jordan recognized as first responders of the game by the team for their bravery and

extinguish devastating california wildfires as the death toll is risen now to 16 fox weather correspondent marissa is in santa monica. good morning marissa. >> good morning rachel. the palisades fire broke out on tuesday morning, and less than a week later it has devoured 23,000 acres and is also a part of the death toll that you mentioned the palisades and eaton fire contradicting to the number of 16 a lot of tragedy, heartbreak and certainly a lot of frustration. we're here in santa monica just to set the scene quickly we're behind san and national guard brought in later in the week last week, and they've been standing guard making sure people don't enter into the neighborhoods. you go further into santa monica, anal this would take you to the palisades all still completely blocked off they brought in the high visibility wire to also keep people out. it has been such a long journey, in fact, friday into saturday morning, we had the video of when our crew was a toibl get

into mandeville canyon and right along the frontlines you had 24 aircrafts that were dumping retardant and water, consistently and this is one of the reasons that fire crews were able to get such a handle on that significant flare-up that did expand evacuation orders into encino as well as mandeville canyon and as well as brentwood those expansions they did widen but the control of that fire was significant and they did a great job and actually protecting more homes. they got it under control, in fact, into the overnight hours so saturday into sunday this morning, they were running couple of nighttime flights to also control and drop some water control the flames. so the palisades fire at this point has 11% containment. we know that damage that it's done and because of the work also in some of the rugged terrain we were out watching firefighters we have video of that as well. firefighters that were clearing some of the brush. there's a lot of very dry brush out here and because of just a few years ago, where we have a

very plenty of the wet season where we got a lot of rain, well everything grew significantly but because we're off to one of the driest starts to the winter season, at least a top five start, everything is dried out and the winds are gusty anywhere for 20 to 30 miles per hour that we've seen through the overnight hours and because of that, we have to monitor the flames. the destruction is very evident through the palisades community i have spoken to so many evacuees some lost their homes others trying to get back in and challenge to do that especially because of these road blocks which also by the way are keeping a lot of those looters out. so there's just a lot going on a lot of layers to the story that we are continuing to cover. rachel charlie, will back to you. will: thanks so much. good stuff thank you so much. you heard marissa mention the winds an exacerbating factor something that can cause the fires -- because it knocks down powerlines. and then once the fire started it just -- it is the gasoline that just

spreads those fires so let's do this. talk a little bit about the santa ana winds you're hearing that adam is at the wall with us, and he can help us understand -- qhar the santa ana winds i mentioned this earlier bret baier did on "special report" i found it instructive help us understand what's happening in southern california tell us about the santa ana winds which don't start in california. >> no they don't in the middle one jump on back. but as we see a repeat there there's a big high pressure system over the winter sits over the desert you're talking about nevada, already really dry type of air. it runs to the low pressure system that is off the coast of california. and that's when it starts to run over the mountains so you're talking about already dry air when you see that quick change in elevation it compressing air that heats it up so all of the speeds it up. so all of a sudden you're talking about almost a blow drier and then even as you get closer to the coast, you start to get in the canyon and that's similar to just step in between buildings right. that wind starts to get funneled

and you're really talking about warm, dry air that's blowing on top of the fires that's going to spread this really rapidly. will: it coming up out of the high desert already hot air, it drops down into a lower pressure. in the meantime running through mountains getting more dry, less humid, it picks up speed -- dries out continually you're looking at hurricane force winds this is a good example of where the palisades would sit in between the canyons. adam: you're talking about ring out this air so any moisture that was in it at all is completely gone, the winds don't always get up to 70, 80 miles per hour but pretty -- consistently you're talking 40, 50, 60. so it's just a factor that's going drive these fires what happened here over the last week was the high pressure system and low pressure system were closer together and you get the tight

gradient. >> these are the hills mountains that are on fire towns down in here and burns down in there. catches the town you talked about it doesn't always happen but it does more in the winter. >> that is set up where the high pressure system sits over the desert and funnel all of that air down to southern california. will: so as a a little bit of a cheat sheet how does this happen and what do the santa man winds cause the fire and make it hard to fight the fires? they can spread embers and they ignite new fires as they spread there's a -- it can almost a overlay because there's a hill on fire and just imagine wind running through that. adam: yes it pushes fires but embers up in the air and put it two miles down wingsd and that's why the fire jumps rapidly you think why is fire so far those embers get carried by the wind. will: it is approaching the 101 and 405 highways but wind can carry those embers over the highway and start a new fire on the other side exacerbating

existing fires spread them and then -- it creating a tinderbox because everything is dried out from the wind. adam: it had rained actually in recent years that reallows vegetation to grows and then we're talking about all of this dry air on top of it dries quickly you're talking just waiting to blow. will: 2023 was uniquely wet so that gave growth to vegetation now winds like you're now -- a hair drier is great just dry it out. adam: what it feels like out there that hot wind in your face and it is just consistently blowing across southern california. will: great stuff thank you adam. will: the fox corporation donated one million to the red cross california wildfire relief effort. providing safe shelter emotional support and other aid resources you can donate to the american red cross at go.fox/red cross scanning qr code right there -- on your screen. all right we're turning to faith in trying times message of hope

pennsylvania they said tips were higher under trump when they're feeling good people are jean use i want to give 30% if i can. will: is that an option. they'll give the prescreen you push a button like 15, 25 -- charlie: next time you get a cup of coffee can i give 30% can you put 30% on there. no it cuts both ways, though. because when times are rough, then you feel more obligated like you want -- like that's true. you know somebody has worked hard they've been great, you know, and you want to give more. because you know, good tipper because was a waitress so i know what it is like. will: now 15 i'm tries to get the context what we're all living with here together. so 15 -- rachel: how much you want to pay -- will: i do 20 so i'm average so 15 sends a message that was poor service. 15 says that was poor service now? >> if you were a reliable 20% because i go to same places you

were a reliable 20 you start to notice they love you. yeah. if you're a reliable 20 yeah. also don't get into the dickering i'll do it after taxes. just -- goes for the nail salon, hair salon 20% is means i'm really happy. you guys are great. now times are good it is like the trump economy, then we all just want to just be a little more generous. >> trump affect reaches everything. rachel: turning to faith in trying teams shares message of hope for los angeles as residents face horrific fires and we have another great story with him so stay tuned. because r than your bipolar 1 and you can help take control of your symptoms, with vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. vraylar treats depressive, acute manic,

not just knowing how to listen to god's word that's with the bible but talk back to the lord who loves them. >> a lot of people don't understand the rosary is a scriptural prayer but you need someone to break it down so amazing that he did that but the response of people who are so hungry for something -- that and so meaningful and in ancient prayer truly something so beautiful about it. my mom prays the rosary get this father -- with russell brand online she's 80 -- a grandmother so my daughter ran into russell brangd and told them that i want to get your reaction on the other side. >> hail mary from the grace of lord blessed the fruit holy father of god pray for us now at the hour of our death amen. thank you so much. you're your beautiful granddaughter explained you've listened to me playing the holy rosary of our devine mother

sending you all of my love and respect and i hope one day we get to meet on this path. in jesus name i pray, amen. >> rosary bringing russell brangd and brand and pilar back together. >> it does show that -- so even one of the origins of the rosary is that here's the monks were praying songs again and again every days and you know kind of normal people couldn't read the psalms they didn't have access because they weren't literate or have a bible it cost so much back in the day so -- they scdz monks how do i pray let's make it down what prayers do you know, hail mary both are script churl so pray those prayers and you have access to meditating on scenes of the life of jesus as you pray and incredible to hear everybody from your mom to russell brand to anyone who has access to the lord because of how god has given himself in jesus.

veterinary hospital in molina del rey and we're going to start seeing a lot more patients there that need help from the fire and we're going to do it all for free. so you know, anybody that has a pet that has been evacuated, if they need medical care, we've had some patients that come in who they forgot to bring their pets medication. and so they come in to us say we forgot the pet's medication we can get the medication for you. you know, i want the people of l.a. to know that you're fully supported -- our hospital in marina del rey will do everything you need and veterinary hospitals are opening up as well so please get your -- get your pet the care they need after evacuation. >> wow doctor annie i love this story, and just the capacity of animals to bring everyone together. everyone is the most bipartisan issue there is -- pets. we love them, and you're doing such a great thing. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you.
