"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> brian: all right. 6:00 a.m. on the east coast,

monday, january 13th, this is "fox & friends." thanks for watching. a path of destruction across los angeles. thousands of homes and businesses gone. firefighters racing to contain three active wildfires at this hour as dangerous winds threaten explosive fire growth. >> lawrence: and today president biden delivers farewell address but to focus on foreign policy will dig into what biden's national security adviser just said about the afghanistan withdrawal. >> i also believe that the strategic call president biden made, looking back for years, history has judged well and will continue to judge well. >> we are one week from inauguration day. and we sat down with first lady melania trump about her return to the white house. >> do you feel like you're in a different space now than you were 8 years ago? >> i feel i was always me the first time as well. i just feel that people didn't

accept me maybe, they didn't understand me. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. >> lawrence: buckle up. we begin with a fox news alert. at least 24 people are dead and more than a dozen others reported missing as those historic wildfires wreak havoc across los angeles county. over 12,000 homes and businesses have been destroyed. >> we're very grateful for the bipartisan support of the supplemental. fema, billion dollars for relief fund. we have the funding to support this response. to support this recovery. >> ainsley: stronger winds are expected to return today fueling the flames that fire crews are so desperately trying to contain. more than 40,000 acres have burned. including more than 24 hours acres from the largest fire, the palisades fire, which is 1% contained. the seconds largest, the eaton fire is at 27% containment.

>> brian: all right. today, los angeles unified school district is set to reopen. most schools as governor gavin newsom signs executive order centered on rebuilding. >> passing the blame on to other people? >> how would it be when we are doing independent investigation. >> does the buck stop with you? >> governor of california, might be the mayor of california, we are all in this together. we are better off when we are all better off. and outline better off when we are working together to take care of people. >> brian: notice he didn't say yes. griff jenkins is live in malibu. hey, griff. >> griff: good morning, guys. not out of woods yet. those winds are coming. we are this morning in malibu. let me give you a quick look along the iconic pacific coast highway. miles and miles of just charred destruction. you see what appears to be a burned out mercedes g wagon along where homes and businesses once were. nothing but destruction. there are crews working around

the clock trying to clear this debris. but it is going to be certainly weeks, if not months, if not years. before miles of this iconic landscape and waterfront can even think about rebuilding and there are questions about even with the governor's executive order if that will indeed happen to the extent that it once was. let's talk about those winds. ainsley, you did a great job of setting up that firefighters are working around the clock on the ground and the air to contain those areas. 13% in the palisades. the pal said fire, particularly troubling because we were seeing it hitting the andville canyon area with those burning 14,000 t they are watching. it comes as this red flag wind warning, the national weather service putting out a p ds,

particularly dangerous situation with wind gusts from 35 to 70 miles per hour. mixed with low humidity in some areas 8 to 13 to 15%. that is a recipe for disaster. that is why yesterday when we spoke with l.a. fire department captain eric scott he talked about specifically what the dangers are listen here. >> it's still active. and it's so dry because of these winds, that the brush or fuel, if an ember lands on it, has a 65% of ignition. so we're chasing fires. so, we're getting punched and hit and punched and hit and it's challenging for firefighters. that's why we are so thankful that we have a huge amount coming from all over the place. >> griff: and captain scott also said, look, those 100 mile-per-hour winds they saw last something he had in

2011. if they had 1,000 more fire engines it wouldn't have stopped. with this wind coming not quite as strong but certainly strong enough to pick up the embers and move them places that could catch new fires. that is something that the public needs to really heed,understand it is not over. we are not out of the woods. and if you get a warning, in your evacuation zone to go. be prepared, be ready, move fast and go. he also talked a little bit about exhaustion that the firefighters are feeling. they have got over 12,000 fifortsdz already here trying to deal with this they will work around the clock and fight as long as they have to get this under control. >> brian: fair back sprung up in the palisades would they put it out? >> griff: they could, certainly. look. this wind event is expected to start today and run through 6:00 p.m. wednesday what we saw

yesterday in the pacific palisades yesterday and the day before we saw the fire engines going around to those areas even where you saw block after block of structures that were destroyed. you saw these embers, you sought smoke and the engines would come in and extinguish those because it's almost like you have have you have a fire you see ember burning. imagine that being out in these windy dry conditions, that is what they are worried about blowing to different areas. the direction of the wind and the strength of the wind and the relative low humidity is going to be what happens, they are on high alert here because they are worried that new fires will lead to new problems and obviously we have seen what has happened so far. here in this area by the way in malibu, there is little doubt, they are in danger. because there is nothing left to burn. that palisades fire came over the hills, which are now just charred and barron and burned all the way until it could burn

nothing more. because it met the pacific ocean. guys? >> ainsley: thank you griff so much. you saw the aerial views. all of the beachfront homes are just gone at this point. check in with senior meteorologist janice dean tracking the wildfires and the wind this morning. janice? >> janice: i wish we had better news. we have the same set up we had last week. the winds won't be 100 miles per hour but 70 miles per hour is going to mean firefighters can't get out there. planes can't get up. this is the concern and of course palisades and eaton are the worst fires they continue to burn without a lot of containment. i'm concerned that these winds are going to just exacerbated an where terrible situation. fire weather warning for much of southern california and then we have this pds. particularly dangerous situation, which was just put up there this morning and see the shaded areas here in white. that's where we have the worst of the wildfires. but that's where we are going to

see the potential for 30, 50, 7. it's just terrible news. and really no rain in the forecast and those offshore winds coming through those valleys and canyons, the same type of setup that we were doing with last week. here are the peak wind gusts to come today and then some of the areas that are particularly affected by wildfires will see potentially, 40, 50, 60 miles per hour winds already a bad situation. it's not going to take much for things to spread. so that's my big take away today. it's not going to get any better today, tonight, tomorrow through wednesday and so firefighters really needed to get a handle on it this weekend because the winds, again, are going to kick up and i wish i had better news it is a dire situation that's going to be made worse by the same type of setup. >> lawrence: haven't been given a break at all. >> janice: no.

>> lawrence: thanks, j.d. also thinking about those kids going back to school. many have been displaced. i know they need to get their information. i can imagine it's going to be hard for them to focus. don't have clothes to wear, many of them, a place to live. so i'm hoping they are getting the resources that they need. >> brian: i don't even know if those kids are being redirected the ones that don't have school the ones not damage. >> century city or in most of smoongt. those kids, i guess plan for kids who had their school burned down? >> ainsley: please pray for my friends live out in california, and they were staying in a hotel. they were able to get out. they can't go back to their home. she got word their home is fine. praying for the house but a lot of neighbors lost everything. they are staying in the hotel. making sure to stay in the area because she wants her child to go back to school. she wants some normalcy for him. >> brian: 10 minutes now after the top of the hour.

president-elect donald trump meeting with leaders from canada over the weekend as he -- as his foreign policy plans continue to take shape. >> lawrence: alexis mcadams palm beach florida latest. mar-a-lago over there stayed here in palm beach. center of the universe. everybody wants to have a meeting with trump to talk about something they want to ask him for before he goes back to washington, d.c. that's what we have been watching so far. including talking to canadian leaders like this. look on your screen. these are some photos that were posted over the weekend. that's how we were trying to keep track of who was there. there were so many people. alberta premier kevin smith and kevin o'leary. star of shark tank who says the two countries have a great partnership. listen. >> as she likes to put it and i think she was getting ahead of the narrative. very smart of her to say look, we're in a long-term marriage

with the people of united states. we are not dating. we are married. sometimes couples have some problems. they get into a little tiff. but because they have been married forever they work it out. rest of the hostages held by hamas back home. we heard trump recent days. >> what does that look like. number one, it means enabling the israelis and final couple of battalions and hamas in their leadership. it means very aggressive sanctions and financial penalties on those who are supporting terrorist organizations in the middle east. it means actually doing the job of american leadership. >> trump has said is he expecting to soon meet with russian president vladimir putin on sunday trump's pick for national security adviser mike walls saying the meeting would really be focused on finding diplomatic solutions with putin.

>> we would like to see a cease-fire any minute, any day. i think that would be a positive -- incredibly positive first step on both sides. everybody knows that this has to end somehow diplomatic. i just don't think it's realistic to say we are going to expel every russian from every inch of ukrainian soil, even crimea. >> trump has a lot on his plate. he has so much going on with all those visitors and meetings. also preparing for the inauguration. and then on tuesday. all of those confirmation hearings start. so it's going to be jam-packed. keep you posted on what else happens. back to you. >> brian: alexis, thanks so much. man you packed a lot in there first off a week 14 of the 16 nominees going to be heard. going to be extremely intense because for our country's sake we have to get these people confirmed. if there is a problem, there is a problem. i will tell you everyone is talking about pete hegseth over the weekend. going to be navy seals, veterans. other patriots going to be

gathered. >> lawrence: pack the house. >> brian: anecdotally recruiting is going through the roof since pete was named. no one is talking about. he has met with over 50 senators already and the fbi background check, according to pretty good source i have came back virtually pristine. >> lawrence: looking like is he going to get the votes there was a real effort to block him before he got to this point right here because they know he is going to be able to shine. he has been doing tv. he has testified on capitol hill before. but i'm fascinated with the president-elect how he is involved with every single detail. he has chemicals with al chemisy nominee a free view when he is back in the white house. >> ainsley: tomorrow doug collins secretary for venezuela affairs. pete hegseth secretary of defense and doug burgum, secretary of interior. we will begin to see those

hearings tomorrow. wish them all well. >> brian: go through the hearings and committee and schedule the vote. democrats usual usually and republicans too. i'm not working this weekend. won't be able to get the people. make your decision. have your testimony, and get people in place. we don't have any time. >> ainsley: exactly. we also sat down with melania trump lawrence lawrence you had a great interview. >> ainsley: thank you so much. we asked her all kinds of questions because she has this documentary coming out in the fall. that we'll all be able to watch. go in movie theaters and see it played worldwide and then it will be on amazon prime streaming a little after that. we sat down with her to talk about that and what she is looking forward to. the documentary is going to be a snapshot of what it looks like behind the scenes for a first lady to go back to the white house. i can't wait to see that documentary. but here is a little bit of our interview with her. and this was her -- we asked her what's different this time than it was when he was president before? >> >> ainsley: do you feel like you are in a different space now than you were 8 years ago? >> i feel i was always me the

first time as well. i just feel that people didn't accept me, maybe. they didn't understand me. the way maybe they do now. and i didn't have much support. maybe some people they see me as just a wife of the president. but i'm standing on my own two feet. independent. i have my own thoughts. i have my own yes and no. i don't always agree what my husband is saying or doing, and that's okay. will. >> lawrence: are you able to tell him when you disagree? >> i gave him my advice and sometimes he listens. sometimes he doesn't. and that's okay. >> lawrence: she is exactly right. one of the things that she has has continue to during and the trump administration in large, they were not only fighting the press and democrats but fighting people internally in their own offices that had a different vision than they did. and the executive decides the vision. if you don't like it, go work for someone else. i think to her point, he listens

to he advice sometimes. sometimes they disagree. he wants people to disagree but follow the overall vision. it's going to be interesting to see how they select people this next go around. >> brian: she has already had people write books, chief of staff. you can't estimate, i don't know how you feel about it. she is number one adviser. just because you don't take someone's advice. i think she is the number one advisers. she watches the shows. when he is busy, by the way such and such said this. this person is in your corner. you are getting a lot of pushback here. so, just like you hear with nancy reagan and story going to be written you are telling going to show us the exact off sit. the relationship is so much stronger than you know. and the mutual respect is something that people who are close to them know. but penal that don't, make those other comments.

>> lawrence: that's right. >> ainsley: you harley of people that go mar-a-lago and go to dinner with them and sitting right beside each over finishing each other's sentences and appear to have a beautiful relationship. she strong woman and excellent mother. priority is the child. >> brian: only difference is i take all the advice dawn gives me. difference between their relationship and ours. >> lawrence: maybe you should reach out for comment. >> ainsley: we have more of the melania interview. we have a longer piece that we are going to air a little bit later in the show. >> brian: all right. meanwhile, joe biden speaking out and joe biden wants to -- going to have a big speech today. is he going to got state department. i think about 2:15. 2:00? is he going to make a speech and sum up his career and his foreign policy as a president. and i think it's going to be. wednesday farewell address. his view of what he accomplished is so different from what you may think or most people think that he accomplished i think he

has been one of the biggest foreign policy failures in american history. and i think he is the last one to not realize it. look at some of the things he has done. >> lawrence: want to lay it out, ainsley? >> ainsley: sure, in january of 2021, canceled the china initiative. then in may he waived the sanctions on putin's pipeline in europe. then in august boches that afghanistan withdrawal, leaving american soldiers dead at the abbey gate. and then in october, there are images that show russian military buildup in ukraine and then the next year in february putin invades ukraine. and then a year later chinese spy -- remember the big chinese balloon that flew across america and over america and finally shot down over the coast of south carolina. and then in october of 2024 hamas terrorist attack and invade israel. >> lawrence: maybe it's me, but am i missing something? he could choose something that is progressive like his energy

policy that he wants to run for a legacy purpose. but when you look at democrats and republicans, no one thinks that america is safe under him. no one thinks that the world respects us more under him. he could have chose any other issue that could have potentially even a unified some people in his party. but even if you talk with liberals, they will tell you things aren't going well on the world stage. so why pick the state department. >> brian: if you could put the full screen up for a second again. if you ask a lot of people like the fact macron and these guys he wasn't a disrupter like trump. go along get along. more traditional. look what he has done. china initiative was our push to get china out of our embassies, they had their own police stations here. we know their cyber attacks have infiltrated into our entire infrastructure. he pulled out of that. with the sanctions on the pipeline. when the nord stream two pipeline was about to be sheffield leave it it's almost

done anyway. they invaded and we were going to allow that oil and gas to flow to our allies and would have made them more involved. of course the invasion of ukraine he telegraphed it said he was going to lose in four days. fighting for two years. he never armed them up. just talked about it. the spy balloon, the day before hamas attacked his national security adviser who commented how peaceful the middle east was. that's your legacy, pal. here is jake sullivan. >> let me ask you this, then, did you feel personally responsible for the failures in the withdrawal. >> i think the entire team, the entire national security team has a responsibility for everything in our national security. and that includes me as the national security adviser. i also believe that the strategic call president biden made looking back for years, history has judged well and continue to judge well from the point of view that if we were still in afghanistan today, americans would be fighting and

dying, russia would have more leverage over us. we would be less able to respond to the major strategic challenges we face. >> lawrence: he creates a straw man. it's not about withdrawing from afghanistan. it's the way that they did it. it's the fact that they decided to move the troops out before they got everyone else out. it's the fact that they closed down bagram and still, after all of that after losing 13 member and women, they didn't have to die as a result of his foreign policy. they labeled it as a success. how do you label such a catastrophe as a success? is it's like there is no introspection still from this administration. >> ainsley: yeah. how do you call it a success when you have these americans that died at the abbey gate. was that not successful. >> lawrence: no. >> brian: genius they look at him as a genius. he does have great academic record. doesn't realize when vladimir putin saw we were retracting from the world and left afghanistan. he said this is the time to take

added a vantage of america and retreat. 2500 troops left in afghanistan makes us vulnerable you have one hell of a bad military. i'm pretty sure america could have left 2500 in afghanistan and had a looking glass on china, pakistan and russia, who surround them that statement doesn't fly. >> ainsley: let's hand it over to carley who has headlines for us. >> carley: i certainly do. starting with a situation in california. a man holding a blow torch near fires in los angeles is illegal migrant. mexican national taken into police custody on a probation violation after a group of good samaritans stopped him while he was near the kenneth fire in west hills, california. the suspect is not currently facing any arson charges. federal agents in texas uncovering what they call a sophisticated narcotunnel that smugglers had been using between texas and mexico, officials say

the tunnel is equipped with electricity, venting labor relation. and is enforced with wooden beams, allowing smugglers to take drugs and people across the border, it is believed to have only been built within the last year. homeland security says they are working to arrest those behind it. outgoing fbi director christopher wray is offering some insight into his resignation. explaining that president-elect trump, quote: made it clear he wanted to make a change at the bureau's leadership. wray offering this warning about the current terrorist threat at our border. >> there was a guy, a pakistani citizen, just a few months ago who we worked with our canadian partners to arrest. this guy was trying to get into the u.s. to get to new york city to conduct a mass shooting at a jewish center in brooklyn. it's like that little inscription in your mirror car. objects in your mirror are closer than they appear. he announced his departure from the fbi last month.

>> brian: defended his raid of mar-a-lago. i still can't buy to this day. >> lawrence: fbi is political. a lot of people have resigned from the fbi because of their focus. still going after moms and dads at school board meetings. it seems lining the fbi had more things to be focused on. >> brian: 24 minutes after the hour. >> lawrence: one family decided they weren't waiting for help to protect their home amid the california wildfires. >> ainsley: that family joins us on how they took matters into their own hands. ♪

>> troops 223, thank you. their motto is be prepared. part of that process of being prepared was to get together with our neighbors in the neighborhood and establish some protocol and some communication protocol and also just to help people understand what they need to do we made the choice to bay gas powered water pump we talked about. and worked with our pool. to basically serve as like a fire hose. and we bought a large 100-gallon water barrel so we had fresh water. and we have a couple electric mountain bikes so that would help us get out if we needed to. a number of other things, but that was the idea. >> brian: andrew, what was it like when you decide -- where did you see the fire when you started to act? >> when we started to act, you can actually see in the clip right there, it was in the condos right above our home. it was there practically most of

the day trying to prevent the fire. >> what were your thoughts, vicki? >> we are just in shock. i mean, the devastation in the palisades is just -- it's breathtaking. it's breathtaking. and the feel that still have their homes is the exception not the rule. most people -- thousands of people in the palisades lost their homes. the schools where the kids go, 80% one school corpus christi 80% lost their homes or the school. andrew and hills older brothers went. cavalry christian school maybe 50% of the families have lost their homes. so this is a tragedy of just epic proportions. >> brian: andrew, how did you get out? >> so, when we did leave, i was the first to leave. my mom stayed one extra night. i took one of the cars that we have down to the middle school that's at the bottom of our hill community. i eensd ended up one of the e-bikes through the rest of the

and they would love my fans and people would love to hear more from me. so i had an idea to make a movie, to make a film about my life. my life is incredible. it's incredibly busy. and i told my agent, you know, i have this idea. so please, you know, go out and make a deal for me. we started the production in november and we are shooting right now. it's a day-to-day life what i'm doings, what kind of responsibilities i have. people don't really know and they will see it it's day-to-day from transition team to moving to the white house packing, establishing my team. the first lady office moving into the white house. what it takes to make the

residence your home. to hire the people that you need. >> so it's a snapshot of what it takes to move back into the white house. i don't think a first lady has ever done this. >> not that i know of, of course. >> ainsley: behind the scenes what is it like when you are moving back in the white house? what is different this time? >> the difference is i know where i will be going. i know the rooms where we will be living. i know the process. the first time was challenging. we didn't have much of the information the information was upheld for us from previous administration but this time i have everything. i have the plans. i could move in. i already packed. i already selected the, you know, the furniture that needs to go in. so, it's very different transition this time, second time around. >> ainsley: will you decorate it exactly like it was before or changes. >> a little bit of changes.

and then we give them the wings to fly. and i always respect barron's yes and no and what he likes to do, where he would like to be. >> ainsley: do you feel like you are in a different space now than you were 8 years ago? >> i feel i was always me the first time as well. i just feel that people didn't accept me, maybe. they didn't understand me the way maybe they do now. and i didn't have much support maybe some people see me as just a wife of the president. but i'm standing on my own two feet, independent, i have my own thoughts. i have my own yes and no i don't always agree what my husband is saying or doing. and that's okay. >> ainsley: are you able to tell him when you disagree. >> i give him my advice. sometimes he listens. sometimes he doesn't, and that's okay. >> ainsley: where are you be spending most of your time in the white house, palm beach.
