los angeles and this is america's late news fox news at night. raking tonight a father and son, a world traveler, former child actor, just for among the 24 lives officially lost in the devastating los angeles wildfires. authorities say that number -- that number will almost certainly rise. the news comes as and leg braces for another round of dangerous santa ana wind the governor demanding answers from whoever is in charge of california. >> does the buck start with you. >> we are all in this together we are all better off when we are working together to take care of you -- people. >> governor of the largest state in the country and what happens in l.a. you were ultimately responsible as the governor. >> of course. i want to know the answers so i'm the governor of california i want to know the answer. >> trace: critics point to go to might be spending more time fighting this information than

fighting fires. >> the reservoirs are completely follow that mess and disinformation i don't think advantages or aids any of us. >> we do know from reporting locally that the reservoir that serves the palisades was not full. >> that is what triggered my desire to get the investigation. >> trace: as l.a. burns, california democrats making their priorities crystal-clear reaching a million-dollar deal to trump-proof the state. $25 million of that will go to protecting illegal immigrants from deportation like this person who was seen fighting fires in los angeles forcing residents to tackle him to the ground and conduct a citizen's arrest. in the meantime pierce went returning to los angeles as officials warn of explosive fire growth both tonight and tomorrow so we begin with matt finn. he is live back at the eaton fire in altadena. matt? >> high, trace. hard to believe we are talking

about near hurricane-force winds returning to los angeles we will keep you updated. trace, you know the concern across a lake county for losing his extreme right now and i want to show you some of the roadblocks in the altadena area. police and the national guard really beefing up security. we are watching them tightly screen anybody trying to get into this area i was in the palisades the same thing there as far as the blockades. earlier today the new l.a. district attorney nathan hochman announced nine people charged with a felony counts of looting since these fires thousands more have been arrested. so stay tuned for even more charges. the altadena area i took a picture earlier today not far from where i am standing of a homeowner warning that they have guns and their house, be aware. warning looters to stay off their property. i talked to a gentleman named billy he is within the fire zone

he is not leaving he says he is acting like neighborhood watch. here is billy. >> i mean just knowing somebody is there watching you. neighborhood watch where they see they know somebody is watching them. less likely to do things. >> and trace the fire here in the altadena area is the deadliest 16 people confirmed dead here alone. >> trace: matt finn live for us in altadena. thank you that spring in pacific palisades rusty and -- resident and altadena resident thank you both for coming on. do you first because he when your brother went to your home at the palisades and tried to fight the fire for a while tell me what happened. >> i was initially at my office in santa monica, a fire broke out in the highlands i called my parents to make sure they sure they were all right. i made my way up there eventually. it was very hectic with everybody evacuating so i

finally made it up to the house. i went on to the roof and started spraying down on the vegetation and my house had just somehow try to preserve it. >> trace: but a tree caught fire. >> the tree behind my house caught fire initially i was looking over the ridge on santa monica mountain range and amber started flying down and it finally got the tree in my backyard and that is kind of when i knew i had to get out of there. >> trace: rob, to you, even when you when you lose. your dad, your brother, you also fought this fire to save the house but you lost the family business. a hardware store, right? was there nobody at the hardware store what happened in your case of? >> we close the store at 6:00 i got home shortly after that and we realized that the fire was burning at the canyon so we rushed over to my parents which was closest to the fire, to the canyon. by the time we got them out of

there we realized that this was spreading and my brother's wife and t my wife and i and the kids we all just got as far away as we could. never anticipated this fire to become what it was. the next day when i was driving this was probably 5:00 in the morning on wednesday morning i was driving to the hardware store to off-load a truck i could not get it could not even get it close. >> trace: interesting because as you watch these pictures were clearly seen before and after. as you were watching matt finn do is live shot in your neighborhood you know the people this is close to the community these are customers of the hardware store these are neighbors and friends. and people think l.a. everybody just this is a close-knit community that got hit. >> yes. altadena is like the small town amongst the big-city. i grew up in altadena and i

recognize so many people i see on the news from coming into the hardware store. i have been here for a long time. so it is heartbreaking. i think the hardest thing i'm seeing now was talking to close friends parents of kids that play baseball my son that had lost their homes and they don't have anywhere they are having trouble finding homes. that is where they need help. >> trace: i wonder did you see when they were fighting the fire did you see firefighters they were spread very thin. they were spread very thin out there in the palisades. did you see any firefighters and when and where were your parents go next? >> there were a bunch of firefighters but it was very stretched thin as you said. in my neighborhood i did not see that many if any. they have done such a fantastic job so i have to commend them for that. but you know when the future for my parents they are still figuring it out long term. i think they will still stay on the west side right now they are my sister's apartment.

and it is just it is hard to. you know you don't think of any of these things ever happening to you hand i'm just glad we are all safe. >> trace: a long road what you say they will go back. >> 100%. that is my childhood home it holds so much significance to me of course. and it is you know i don't see why they would ever want to leave that. >> trace: you said your dad and your brother saved your home. what about the business we rebuilt the business and how long? because it will be a hit on that community. >> 100% we will rebuild how long it takes is this is all new to me. i do understand that they are going to have a field office in altadena so hopefully that helps with not just the homes but also of the businesses around that have burned. but i mean we are committed to this community there were so many people that have been huge supporters since we bought it.

15 years ago we are completely committed to bringing it back. >> trace: gentleman best of luck to both of you thank you for sharing your stories we hope you and your family come out of this on the winning end at some point in time. thank you both. in response to the devastating wildfires in california california governor gavin newsom now focusing on attacking the president-elect alleged miss and disinformation. the democrats allocating $50 million for efforts to trump-proof the state. senior national correspondent kevin corke is live with new information on this. >> critics argue this is precisely the thing that continues to infuriate voters of america and in the golden state in particular. even as the state burnt injuring ferocious firestorms and arson and leaving a cataclysmic health scape, many are blaming l.a. and sacramento's mismanagement. and on top of all of that now you have a state whose budget is

already snatched -- stretched as tight as a snare drum setting aside $50 million to quotes, trump-proof itself including $25 million to support legal aid services for illegal aliens. not surprisingly the incoming president's chief among governor newsom's critics right thinking opposed untruth social i will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful clean fresh water flow into california. he is to blame for all of this. on top of it all the water from fire hydrants not firefighting planes. a true disaster. newsom for his part says mr. trump has it all wrong. >> that miss and disinformation i don't think advantages or aids any of us. responding to donald trump's insults we would spend another month i'm very familiar with them every elected official that he disagrees with very familiar with them. >> as for the possible threat of not getting timely aid from the

incoming administration gavin newsom says that it's just trump style and while he takes the threat seriously, trace, he expects him to eventually help. >> trace: kevin corke live and d.c. more on how the coordinator should have responded to the wildfires. we bring in steve. you held a news conference today and you said this is part of one of your statements. watch. >> this is america's second safety. it needs to be rebuilt quickly. this will be a nightmare for people for years and thus we do something about it. >> trace: they are talking about cutting red tape but this is the red tape capital of the world it will be such a long call. i talked to an art attack in the palisades he said years and years. >> it doesn't have to be years and years. this is the point people are looking at the response from the people in charge right now and saying we don't have anything like the level of energy and urgency and ambition that we need to. i spoke over the width -- we can

to governor pete wilson, former republican governor, he had the northridge earthquake in 1994. he was told it would take two years to rebuild the santa monica freeway. he said i'm not listening to that i will rip up all the rules and regulations and contracting and everything else he got it done and 66 days. we need people in charge who are not going to accept the status quo. so when gavin newsom tells us that we are not even going to be able to start rebooting for a year because it will take that long to clear away everything that is just not good enough. we need to do it faster and better and that is what we are laying out today upon to do just that. >> trace: in the meantime former california state senator gloria romero said this today. watch. >> no policy, no plan, no happy yep you talk is ever going to make a change unless the people have trust and confidence in the integrity of the leaders who are there and the bureaucrats who

are very well paid to lead us forward to. >> trace: kind of a battle. steve, what do you build first? rebuilding the trust will be just as hard as rebuilding these communities because right now people do not trust these politicians. >> 100% and that is what is so scandalous really about the fact that still today we still have a lack of straight answers on so many of these questions. that is why there is no hope we need to give people hope. this city, these communities, absolutely devastated. and you have to have clarity about the mission as i said. the ambition you need to rebuild quickly and how people need right now. the other part a press conference that we have today was how can we help people right now? joined by pastor jack gibbs from calgary chapel -- calvary chapel he is challenging the faith community, places of worship, not just here in south california but across the state. first responders, we need everybody to come together.

that includes the politicians on the bureaucrats. >> trace: how do you get the politicians to come together when they for the time being tend to be on the opposite side of the isle? >> they need to do their job and if they can't do their job and afraid we are getting increasing evidence particularly here with karen bass she is simply out of their depth pete. there was a petition to get her recalled people really need leadership at this moment and they are not getting it. >> trace: steve hilton thank you for coming. >> thank you, trace. >> trace: starting with defense secretary designate pete hegseth tomorrow several of the president-elect nominating -- nominees will be on capitol hill for what will certainly be some fiery confirmation hearings. live on west palm beach with more on that story. >> good evening to you team trump says they are confident their nominees will do well. more than a dozen confirmation hearing set before the president-elect is sworn in that is if the schedule stays as is.

we had news today about va secretary pick doug collins he was supposed to have his hearing tomorrow that has been pushed back by a week because of the delay in his fbi background check. secretary of the interior doug burgum hearing has been moved to wednesday. the program is unchanged for tomorrow's headliner pete hegseth it was said to appear before the senate armed services committee at 9:30. behind closed doors democrats prepare their questioning strategy. >> raises significant questions that is the purpose of our hearing tomorrow to ask those tough questions and give him the opportunity to respond. >> his passion for service in the military, he has emphasized that so i am hopeful he will have a chance to accentuate the importance of that. >> you hear republicans they are a bit more confident.

earrings for kristi noem, pam bondi, they are set for wednesday. trump's team says they are pushing for these national security rules to be in place quickly to dangers they see around the world. along hearings you do not see schedule do you have dni nominee tulsi a bar to. >> trace: thank you lets bring in fox news political analyst and women's a political forum legal director thank you both for coming on. do you first. to marble the trump nominees face these hearings as alexandria was just saying he wrote this about the former foreign ag pam bondi and i am quoting here part of your foxnews.com opinion piece with ponte at the helm i have no doubt the department of justice will usher in a new period of genuine integrity and rise to meet our times and challenges. i praise. and he struggles getting through

>> i am here in washington, d.c., for the confirmation hearing of pete hegseth and pam bondi. pam, somebody i greatly admire a mentor of mine. she is an advisor and board member for the caldwell institute for public safety which are started in response to my brother's murder in chicago two years ago. i have to tell you i'm really excited about the nominees in which donald trump has put forward to serve this country. peaches somebody who we all know obviously has worked and been a friend to many of us. somebody a belief loves this country who is the patriots and who can get the morale of the military back to where it needs to be as we face real challenges on the world stage. certainly we have had weak leadership with president biden. so i believe these are people who can turn this country around. certainly serve the nation well. >> trace: he was just talking about pete hegseth senator, tommy to prevail may said this about pete hegseth today.

>> i am 110%... this time tomorrow we will be going through confirmation process. he will be ripped, he will be demeaned, he will be talked about, but we will get them across the finish line. >> trace: what do you think will they get him across the finish line of? >> i think so. i'm excited for pete hegseth and for this nomination process because i think that it has been a smear campaign so far and the world needs to end users to see the man that pete hegseth's. they deserve to see somebody who wakes up at 3:00 a.m. to go on the fox weekend show but they also deserve to see somebody who has committed his life to other members of the fighting forces and two is going to restore greatness to our military that has been gutted. that has not been able to meet its recruiting goals.

because they have lost their way. that passion and commitment to his fellow soldiers i think people will see that and be excited about joining the military again and for being part of this great country again. >> trace: in the meantime president joe biden speaking today about his foreign policy. >> united states is winning the worldwide competition. compared to four years ago america is stronger, our alliances are stronger, our adversaries and competitors are weaker. during my presidency i have increased american policy by every dimension. >> trace: as always president biden says he was great on foreign policy but look at this was he great? 30 7% approval almost anemic. >> afghanistan withdrawal, and open border, we have citizens

who are losing their lives to cartel gangs across the nation. he has been anything but a great president on foreign policy and many other areas the country suffered and that is exactly why donald trump when the popular vote for the first time as a republican and over 20 years. these things don't just happen especially when you have 90 plus percent negative media coverage against you joe biden did a terrible job. >> trace: i want to put this out there because special council released the final hunter biden prosecution report you are a lawyer, may, i want to get your response on this. other presidents have pardoned family members but in doing so have not taken the occasion to malign the public servants at the department of justice based solely on false accusations. he called the part and wrong and did not mention of charges were warranted because he says it was not appropriate. what do you think? >> i think that if biden started it that the special council weiss should and did and say

what exactly what was investigated. what was hunter biden protected from? and i think that the legal community can understand humanity. if you were going to pardon your son that there is something about a dad and his son what the public cannot understand and what the public cannot get over his biden a lying to everybody saying nobody is above the law, saying he would not pardon his son saying the reason he needed to do it is because our justice system is rigged against them. that it is literally everything that he says a president should stand against and he has said he is against. so he is a liar. >> trace: it was a big fabrication we can tell you that for sure. thank you both for coming on. in the meantime coming up we are back live on the ground in the pacific palisades as angelino prepares for yet another round of dangerously high wind. we are talking about hurricane

strength wind. plus caitlin tanner joins us live onset with her take on how california officials have handled this crisis. later in the night billionaire real estate developer rick caruso who lost a karen bass for l.a. mayor hired private fire factors to protect his home and his luxury outdoor mall from the wildfires. many are praising him for being proactive and prepared others are furious saying he prioritized his chanel store over surrounding local businesses and homes. is he justified in saving only his property? or is it selfish? smart or selfish? let us know on x and instagram at trace gallagher we will read your responses coming up in the "night cap". everywhere but the seat. the seat is leather. alan, we get it. you love your bike. we do, too.

that's why we're america's number-one motorcycle insurer. but do you have to wedge it into everything? this reminds me of my bike. look how the brushstrokes follow the line of the gas tank. i had no idea this was a motorcycle exhibit.

>> trace: back to our

continuing coverage of the devastating los angeles wildfires with the palisades fire continuing to be the largest and the lease contained. jeff paul is live in pacific palisades with the very latest. >> trace, if you came to us an hour ago could have told you the conditions in the pacific palisades relatively calm but that has changed within the last 30 minutes or so. the wind is picking up nowhere near what we are expecting. tuesday morning as the santa ana window starts to move in again but still a concern only gets worse. and really the concern for firefighters not only new concerns working with some of the older fires they have seemingly put out reigniting. you look at this and think unfortunately it has burned to the ground. when the wind picks up the wind carries the embers of the area that have not burned yet. when you look here you can see the long line of roads and destructions at one point we are

on fire so that only amplifies the concern that there could be more fires or these older fires. the only difference i would say between last week and this week is that there is a lot more personnel. we go up from santa monica, pca, through malibu, into here to kind of get a good idea of what is going on and the amount of personnel out on the road is astounding. we saw loads of firefighters, loads of police officers, national guard all lined up throughout pch just ready to react. in terms of residents getting back into some of these burned-out areas officials saying it is too soon with next round of santa ana wind i really don't know what will happen we are really at the mercy of mother nature. >> trace: jeff paul live for us in the palisades. thank you. ♪ ♪

fox news at night common sense department will admit that extreme wind was detrimental to the fight against the wildfires in los angeles. then again california has been getting hit by severe santa ana wind forever. in the mid-1700s the california missionaries built emissions to withstand santa ana wind. maybe instead of blaming the windy city leaders should blame the preparation before the winter. fires on uncleared and overgrown state lands have been devastating california for years and all power lines on virtual pools have been sparking fires. and the wind and dry brush the head of public works in los angeles now says the water system was not designed to fight wildfires. common sense asks why not? are the fire hydrants many of which were missing or broken or designed to fight only

domesticated fires? california seems to have no problem bracing $50 million to trump-proof california so what about money to fireproof the state. california residents pay the highest taxes and in return state and local governments give a safety. and the protection system is inadequate it should be fixed. we will never stop the hot wind coming off the desert but maybe we can slow the hot air coming out of sacramento. let's bring in fox news contributor and former olympian caitlyn jenner. you were up there i know you lost your roof not to the fire but the wind. the wind was bad we acknowledge that. you said the following coating here i stand with fire chief crowley who was denied necessary funds from the joke of a mayor bass of l.a. it for you the same chief who said los angeles city leaders failed to her.

>> first of all i came to california back in 1973 and i watched the decline of the state for all of these years. it was a long time ago. but i watched the decline. it has been so start to see and it is all politically. i was coming come the other went -- day and it was like 4500 feet looking out at california think it is so beautiful here. why has the government just destroyed the state? every time you turn around you do and i think this fire will really show the political weaknesses. lite is a very good disinfectant. that is a good thing. it seems like the state and the democrats that are running this states are always on the defense. i call on i call them walkable politicians. you know that game whack a mole? >> trace: of course.

>> another problem comes up hit that one hit this one that is all he tries to do put fires out. why wasn't there any thought put into how do we not have the problem? it just never seems to happen. and gavin newsom he is honestly i feel like he is done. >> trace: you played a little whack a mole with gavin newsom on x. >> of course. >> trace: you posted the order -- following, executive order that will not allow the victims to get caught up in bureaucratic red tape and not -- rebuild their homes. you responded get rid of this ridiculous red tape permanently. i mean why are we temporarily cutting red tape and not permanently? that is what you need to do permanently. to try to put something in california is almost impossible. you know. >> here i am as a homeowner i have 13 acres of 10 malibu i get a letter soon saying you have to clean your property and any fire

stuff to keep it 75 feet away from the house. okay? you have to clean everything else all the brush. they tell me i have to do that if i don't they are going to find me. okay? i was on my property the other day and i'm looking down below me i have my barn and i'm looking at the barn and i have to clean all the way down to my barn. my barn is clean i work very hard i do most of it myself. right on the other side of the fence line is state wildlife. there is so that has never the last time it was cleaned out wolves lee fire when it came there and burned it all out. it is all back. >> trace: i am stunned you have the same number of acres as children. that is a good thing. >> i need it. honestly i love where i live. >> trace: i know. >> unfortunately it is six days, seven days out because i am right in the middle of a santa

ana corridor and i'm on top of the hill and it just comes and it just hits my house it is so hard to. >> trace: we pay the highest taxes in the country. >> and we don't get the services. years ago i have been in malibu forever. >> always in to mountain biking in the 50s and 60s clean felt these roads all of these fire roads out in the mountains. they are gorgeous great places to hide. wonderful. they were put in there to move fire equipment back up into the hill if they needed to. over the last at least probably seven years i would say at least i would say they used to always come out with greater and creates all of these roads they cannot do that anymore. some places you can't even walk because it is so overgrown it. it is just i'm paying more taxes and getting less services. >> trace: a lot of people in that same boat. a lot of people without homes in that very same boat. caitlin tanner -- caitlyn jenner

great to have you on the show. >> always. >> trace: coming up gavin newsom was corrected by a reporter after he claimed california's reservoirs were completely full of. that next. do i smell okay?

answers and accountability not excuses. they are only getting the latter right now. they received no explanation as to why california officials knew that a wildfire of this magnitude was possible. they knew this one reservoir was empty and yet over the years they failed to meet their prescribed burnet goals, they have failed to keep water from going back into the pacific to save an endangered fish over human lives and they cut $70 million from the l.a. city fire budget. they looked into what else was in the budget they found they were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on gay men's choirs and transgender midnight cafes i don't even know what that is what i can tell you it probably should be pretty low on the priority list when mayor karen bass claims the budget is so tight she needs to get rid of the fire budget work at the fire budget. in a state that is known for wildfires. >> trace: and that is amazing because tonight and they have fire crews all over southern california with this wind coming in all over tried to put out spot fires maybe that

should have happened a week ago tonight there might have been a different outcome. in the meantime you have "the wall street journal" editorial board saying california's climate time -- time for choosing singing nothing california does to subsidized tvs or subsidized fossil fuels they are just a virtue signaling to please the climate lobby but the state can do more to mitigate the harm from future fires and better use its natural water supply to cope with dry years. it is time to choose what is more important they're climate obsession or their citizens. but come on they are constantly choosing fish and ideology over people. >> absolutely. absolutely they are and they seem to be able to fight basically everything else but for their people. you were saying earlier talking about how gavin has promised

$50 million to fight donald trump's deportations meanwhile you have a legal immigrants sprinting around los angeles with blowtorch is trying to start more fires. the whole situation is absolutely absurd and the voters need to see that elections have consequences. we did have a chance to recall this guy a few years ago. >> trace: the owner of the "l.a. times" he was here he came on this show talking about changing the ideology to make it more fare and balanced he said the following about karen bass the mayor. watch. >> the "los angeles times" we endorse karen bass. i think right now upfront that is a mistake and we admit that. >> trace: that is a bad declaration if you were karen bass to have the guy who runs the biggest paper in town to say it was a bad decision to endorse. >> that is right. and i bet they feel like they are eating a little bit of a crow right now why he felt the
