00:00I'm frustrated, I'm frustrated, and I'm scared.
00:05Paradise in Northern California and Maui are two towns that got completely lost to fire
00:11and now we've lost Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
00:14When is something going to change?
00:17You've seen what these downtowns look like.
00:20I mean, they look like a bomb hit them.
00:23Recovery from these fires is going to be complex.
00:26I've seen many disasters throughout my four years in this role.
00:30This is certainly one of the worst.
00:43This looks like the apocalypse, it just doesn't feel like the normal things that happen in
00:48your life.
00:49My son was calling me, my other kids were calling, Dad, get out of there, get out of
00:54there.
00:55And that's the way we continued to fight until we couldn't fight no more.
01:14The house next door is on fire.
01:16Our house will definitely be next.
01:18Sometimes it's hell that we're living in.
01:22All the people who were there were trying to escape.
01:24I was one of them.
01:28I'm angry, I'm sad for everything that has happened to us.
01:34All the people who lost their homes, we're like refugees here.
01:38I don't know how long we're going to last.
01:42As soon as you walk in, you would be met with the living room, which is literally right
01:49here in this area.
01:51And then to the left of it was the kitchen and the dining room.
01:55And then right here was a room.
01:58And then we had two more rooms behind that.
02:01But as you can see, the only thing that's basically standing is the chimney.
02:06And yeah, now it's nothing.
02:11The flames have consumed all of our dreams of years here.
02:17It's all turned to ashes here.
02:41It's going to cost tens of billions of dollars to get Los Angeles back to where it was.
03:01So we're going to need Congress to step up to provide funding to get this done.
03:06And we're going to get that done, God willing.
03:11The situation in Hollywood is fraught.
03:31For quite some time, there has been calamity.
03:35There was the pandemic, which upended the whole world.
03:39A lot of people's jobs and lives were completely upended.
03:43Then right after that, we had both the writers and the actor strikes, which was devastating.
03:48And for quite some time, people were saying the phrase, survive until 25.
03:53Well, 2025 is here.
03:55We have a massive wildfire and a citywide crisis.
04:09This is obvious that stuff like this is happening because of global warming.
04:26And people that just want to deny it just don't know science and don't know how to research those things.
04:30So I think that humans are funny because they think anywhere they move in this world, they'll be safe.
04:34But the entire world has global warming.
04:38So there's disasters wherever you move.
04:40Move to Florida, hurricanes.
04:42Move to the Mideast, you got tornadoes.
04:45You know what I mean?
04:47So I guess pick your disaster and live there.
04:49What disaster makes you feel most comfortable?
04:51Because that's the world we're living in at this point.
05:07you
