Shocking. I grew up in Brentwood and went to Pali High. Spent my youth in Santa Monica, Malibu, The Palisades, Venice, Westwood. . .this is a massive, sad loss! Prayers for those who’ve lost so much and a way of life. . .gone. Friends in Thousand Oaks have been without electricity for several days. The power grid is shut down to prevent fires during the high winds. It’s not like they aren’t trying.😢
This was yet another brutal reminder that the weather events are becoming more extreme and currently existing infrastructures, insurance and government response are utterly inadequate. But I am afraid the leaders aren't learning the right lessons.
Who failed to have the underbrush cleared? Who cut the funding for preventing forest fires? Who failed to fill the existing reservoirs? Who fired hundreds of good firefighters for not getting the jab? Who failed to build new reservoirs? Who diverted water to save a fish called smelt? Who cut $18 million from the firefighting budget? Who failed to make sure fire hydrants had water? Who gave firefighting equipment away to Ukraine? Who is responsible for the wanton destruction of Los Angeles? Everyone knows who. Incompetent, corrupt leftist politicians and appointed “officials.” Yeah, that’s who. .
This is not incompetence. Every act you listed was deliberate and specifically intended to clear out the most valuable real estate in the country for redevelopment into the 15-minute smart cities of the future. Maui was first. Who's next?
Usually this time of year they do not have all 8 possible water drop aircraft in service considering it is winter but as of Tomorrow ALL 8 will be available!!!!!!!!!
Katie Please Talk about the DANGERS of talking POLITICS and BLAME in an EVENT like this at this time and the LACK of any CALIBER OF DECENCY to do so at this time. Especially Political Leaders and Networks so disgusting. EDIT: you just did.
Politics are at the root of an event like this. Refusing to deal with that fact ensures that this will keep happening. Failure to clear brush from public lands, refusal to build reservoirs, allowing water to run out into the ocean in order to save the delta smelt, removal of dams, cutting budgets for fire services, etc. we’re all political decisions.
Be safe all......A house and belongings can be replaced you can not.....if you see glow near on horizon.......GET OUT OF THERE!!!!! Winds can change in an instant.
The insurance companies could see this coming from a mile away. Several of them wisely and responsibly either left the state or dropped people’s fire insurance policies.
Thank you Katie for just asking what is happening rather than the distraction circus coming from right wing media. I still believe your content is being suppressed btw.
30 years of Uni party Democratic policies have led to this mess in California. It’s 100% the Democrats fault for not mitigating these firers. They need to be held accountable. Please vote California against this incompetent party .😢
May I respectfully suggest that the US Defense budget be re-directed , re-allocated for REPARATIONS to serve their victims. Each time they detonate bombs , the chemical particulates thereof arise to the atmosphere, together with their vehicle emissions… and these Energy are transformed into anomalous weather,like supercharged winds. LA is probably a small area compared to the damage & prejudice already suffered by their global victims☮️
You used to be a stand up person. I'm pushing 70 and have watched and trusted you for years. But I'm really sorry but I don't trust you anymore and most people don't. Because of all of the hate and lies you have been telling. Very sad to see.
Wow. The cognitive dissonance in your comment is staggering. First, it’s obtuse. Then, your poorly worded statement is clearly “dim.” If you can’t help, at least don’t hurt. If your a$$ isn’t in the fight, on the ground, then STFU.
build me a beach house in malibu like paris hilton but make it out of concrete like maria. sharapova's LA house. thanks. i am a 100% disabled veteran so i cant afford a $200 million dollar home . the property taxes are higher than my VA pesnion and ssi. how about you pay those for me too. thanks. If I moved to LA I would be forced to be homeless .
Let me add the Fire CHIEF in LA said despite the 17 Million cut she said that if they had 1000 more trucks that with the 100 MPH winds keeping the Air drop craft grounded as well she does not think the would have contained it anyway!!!!!!!! Those winds were too much!!!!!!
🇨🇦 THANKS Canada for sending Fire Fighters and Aide.
that is what neighbours do - we are here for you

From Canada ! Your friends !
Thank you Friend.
Thanks for this conversation
This is 100% the time to be asking the hard questions, especially if not the fire itself, but the outcome and devastation was avoidable.
Time to 🗳 Vote Differently, ca.
Do it.
for these ignorant people, there is no 'juncture' where they will be willing to discus the politics of this fiasco
The Oakland Hills went through this in October 1991.
I just donated it is heartbreaking that this happened anything to help.

keep voting for these glorified feminist babies who at the end of the day, want to see our society regress back to the frontier days
@@sumernoel1553 stupid policy caused these problems and should not be ignored by sticking your head in the sand

We shouldn't be political at this time but We should talk about the political issues.
@@Mwoods2272 this is about policy that caused the devastation

Katie you’re as woke as Gavin Newsom!! Not giving you any more time. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 DISGUSTING
Typical Democratic Party Plantation Behaviors....Tammany Hall to the Poopy-pants President
Great job Democrats on distortion of California
😮
Kit's friend Kevin looks like a nice guy, very nice looking too!
Keep your knickers on... this isn't Jamaica.

Very obtuse and hard to watch. California democrat state and poorly governed. Is it fair she extraordinarily dim?

indeed.. dim is being polite
She is loyal roxa to the left.
And Katie…..you need to block the trolls.

Keep voting democrat. NOT
A lot of homeowners were thrown off their insurance for fire coverage portion.
