We're going to go to Alex Stone at 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: ABC News to see exactly where we stand. 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 2: Alex, how are you doing well? 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: And since you have so much infuriating news, let'll give 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: you some good news that they just modified moments ago 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: the evacuation orders for the Eaton fire, that they are 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: lifting the evacuations in some areas of the Altadena community 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: south of Canyon Crest Road and west of Lincoln Avenue, 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: effective three o'clock, seven minutes ago. So that's not in 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: the heart of the burn area. The real fire area 34 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: is still shut down. But if you live south of 35 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: ca Aning Crest Road and west of Lincoln Avenue, you 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: can go home. 37 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: And that's gonna be a big deal. 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: But these wins, it hasn't been as strong as a 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: lot of people were predicting that they could have been today. 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: Now they're really worried about tonight and that it could 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: be more of tonight into tomorrow morning. And firefighters are saying, yeah, 42 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean the potential of seventy mile an hour winds 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: and still the warnings from the fire chief sant, this 44 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: is no yet. 45 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 2: I urge and everybody here urges you to remain alert 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: as danger has not yet passed. 47 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: And they thought it was going to be earlier. Today 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: it's been windy in some areas, but not seventy mile 49 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: an hour. Wins and La County Fire some of their 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: fire commanders are saying that they're worried tonight about the 51 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: Santa Clarita Valley, that that area that if they were 52 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: to get a new start and get a new running fire, 53 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: they're not so worried about the Palisades or they Eaten Fire. 54 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: Those are looking pretty good. And we've been I personally 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: have been at the Eating Fire every day last Wednesday 56 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: morning early in the morning, and we've seen it progressively 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: get so much better really since like Friday night Saturday, 58 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: the palisade since that Friday night flare up, and then 59 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: Saturday looked pretty good, and then Sunday it looked great. 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: Monday they look very good. 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: And today despite the winds that they seem to be 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: doing quite well. So they've really been hammering that hard. 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: They feel like they've got a pretty good line around 64 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: the perimeter. They've had hoses out all day today on 65 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: both fires. They've had teams from everywhere just watching fronty 66 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: flare ups. But it would be if they got a 67 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: new start and we start the cycle all over again 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: with people running from the flames and homes burning, and 69 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: that they don't have firefighters there now, knowing where we'd 70 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: spark and waiting for teams to get there. That's their 71 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: biggest concern keeping them up tonight, that they would get 72 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: something new and kind of zeroing in on Santa Clarita 73 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Valleys the danger zone tonight with the winds, but it's 74 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: the fires that are burning they look pretty good. Yeah, 75 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: and strong winds in Ventura County too, Yeah, Santa Barbara 76 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: in Tura down the one twenty six corridor from like 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Santa Clarita Stevenson Ranch, then to the north one twenty 78 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: six the Ventura and kind of where that auto fire, 79 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: the one they called the auto fires on Auto Center Drive. 80 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't a car fire that the burned last night. 81 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: Luckily that didn't really go anywhere. But so tonight's gonna 82 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: and then we should see a change in this whole 83 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: thing that hopefully by tomorrow afternoon we say we we 84 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: got through this. We got a lot to deal with now. 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean the same thing that Lahina and Santa Rosa 86 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: and Paradise and Chico have had to deal with over 87 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, of how do we move forward, 88 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: who rebuilds, how do they get the resources from insurance 89 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: companies and cutting red tape and all of that. Santa Rosa, Yeah, 90 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: I remember that. That's my hometown. That's your hometown. I 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: remember you were covering that. 92 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. 93 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: And that was similar to the palis situation in that 94 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: it was a flat land area where these entire neighborhoods 95 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: got destroyed. I think it was almost three thousand homes. Yeah. 96 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: Have you been up there lately? What? Yeah? The Christmas years? Yeah. Yeah. 97 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: They are still figuring out how in some areas they're 98 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: going to move forward. The Coffee Park neighborhood is being rebuilt. 99 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: That's the area that I would say more like Altadena 100 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: where it was older, smaller homes that just neighborhood after 101 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: neighborhood got blown away. And then up in the Fountain 102 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: Grove area of Santa Rosa that's probably more like Pacific 103 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Palisades with large homes and not very close together. They 104 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: got wiped out as well. So you kind of had 105 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: both fires in one on that one not as many 106 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: buildings in total, but still it was devastating Lahina. At 107 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: the one year anniversary this last August, the first home 108 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: was beginning to be rebuilt, the first walls were going up. 109 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: It takes a long long time. Paradise is still dealing 110 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: with it. Santa Rosa in the Coffee Park neighborhood, I mean, 111 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: there's still a lot of homes that never went back 112 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: and others that are still being rebuilt now. Some that 113 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: look great because they did go up and they're all 114 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: modern looking. 115 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: I know. 116 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: We have a lot of friends that they lost their 117 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: homes in the Santa Rosa fire, and one of them 118 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: they were way over insured on their house, and they said, 119 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, see you and moved far away and took 120 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: the insurance money and went away and said done with California. 121 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 2: I'm out of here. 122 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: Others said no, that they're going to stick around so 123 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: Altadena and Pacific Palisades. They're going to have to go 124 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: through all this same stuff of clearing the lots, bringing 125 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: them down to soil, to the slab, and then deciding 126 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: what they're going to do. And sometimes it's easier with 127 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: the insurance companies to rebuild than to tell the insurance 128 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: company that you're not going to rebuild, just the way 129 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: it works out. So some people just rebuild because they 130 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: have to. The other part, though, john is going to 131 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: be the rental market and the housing market. Already we're 132 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: getting reports of people are going every open house right 133 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: now and every available rental and saying, what do you want? 134 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: I will pay you whatever you want in cash because 135 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: they know that there aren't going to be a lot 136 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: of homes in the Pasadena and Altadena area that are available. 137 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: So those who have the means are going to whatever 138 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: is available and saying, hey, you want twenty thousand dollars 139 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: a month, I'll give you twenty thousand dollars a month. 140 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: And so this is going to create all that. There's 141 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: price gouging aspects of that as well that people have 142 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: to be careful about with the law in California. But 143 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: a housing market's going to be nuts. Somebody highlighted a 144 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 1: listing on social media that house that was renting for 145 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars a month. It is now thirty thousand 146 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: a month, Yeah, which is illegal, which is illegal, but 147 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: they were doing it, yeah, trying to see if you're 148 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: going to go up more than ten percent in an 149 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: emergency in California, that's for gas, that's for food, that's 150 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: for housing. So otherwise, if you own that home, you're 151 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: breaking the law. And this day claims it's going to 152 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: go after you. But there's a lot we've got to 153 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: figure out, and it's going to be years down the 154 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: road because of all the other models that we know, 155 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: of the other communities who have gone through this, It's 156 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a long time, all right, Alex don't thank 157 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: you very much for coming on. 158 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: You got it. 159 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: Thanks John, ABC News on the state of the winds 160 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: and the fire danger tonight when we come back.

You thought you were going to evacuate. 175 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: Right, And all the neighbors were communicating yep, texting, and 176 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: there was a flurry of activity down the block from 177 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: Deb's house. There was a possible arsonists running around with 178 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: a blow torch. And your neighbors actually tackled him. 179 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: Yes, they did, and they zip tied. They zip tied 180 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: the guy until cops arrived. Yeah, don't be messing around 181 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 5: with my neighborhood. 182 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. 183 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: And Debora had the worldwide exclusive on that story called 184 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: the KFI And his name is Juan Menuel Sierra also 185 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 1: known as Juan Menuel Sierra Leva, thirty three years old, 186 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: and they decided they didn't have enough evidence to hold him. 187 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: On a charge. 188 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 5: Oh in John, this was not too long after that 189 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 5: fire broke out in the West Hills, Calabasas area. That 190 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 5: this guy was in my neighborhood in Woodland. 191 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: Hills, so they thought maybe he's a suspect in that fire. 192 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: They eventually held them on a probation or a parole violation, 193 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: but they never explained why was he in prison before, 194 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: which which makes me crazy. We have some more information 195 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: now though, because there was there was there was a 196 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: controversy over whether, based on the sanctuary state laws sanctuary 197 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: city laws, whether Sierra was going to be turned over 198 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: to Ice. He's in an LA County jail. ICE has 199 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: placed an immigration detainer on Sierra, and the Sheriff's department 200 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: says it will hand over a person in custody if 201 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: ICE has an arrest warrant. He's up in char ARGs 202 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: with the Kenneth fire. He was arrested after you've seen 203 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: attempting to spark a fire. Well, of course, if he's 204 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: running around with a torch, he was going to torch 205 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: old Christmas trees that people had put out for disposal. 206 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: You know, we're told to do that, to put the 207 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: trees on the curb on the day where they come 208 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: for pickup. Now it's attracting arsonists. So he's been declared 209 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: a person of interest, and I says he's had multiple 210 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: encounters with law enforcement from November twenty sixteen to the 211 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: present for a variety of charges, and was convicted of 212 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: assault with a deadly weapon October tenth, twenty twenty three 213 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: and Van Nys assault with a deadly weapon, and he 214 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: was on felony probation when. 215 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: He was arrested a week ago. 216 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: A man with Sierra's same birthday has been arrested at 217 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: least three other times by LAPD since twenty twenty three. 218 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: Well, what does it take he was actually on the loose. 219 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: He's an illegal alien, multiple encounters, convicted of assault with 220 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: a deadly weapon only fifteen months ago. He's been arrested 221 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: three other times. He's been under probation supervision since October 222 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Well, he wasn't being supervised when he 223 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: was running around with a torch in your neighborhood. He 224 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: is pending violations for failing to report to his probation officer, 225 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: violating the terms of probation. He last talked with them 226 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: in November of twenty twenty four. Well, is he getting 227 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: turned over to ICE or not? Because ICE has him 228 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: on a detainer. Is that the same thing as a warrant? 229 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: Because I don't understand this, because a sanctuary of law 230 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: forbids a lot of cooperation between LAPD and the Sheriff's Department. 231 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 5: Even when somebody is carrying a torch in a wildfire 232 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 5: prone area. 233 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: Maybe you'd think carrying a torch. 234 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: I saw the guy. You saw the guy. It looked 235 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: like a lunatic, a crazed lunatic. 236 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 2: Well, the neighbor said he was hi as a kite. 237 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: Isaac kite, illegal alien with a torch. Fell any probation. 238 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: I saw it with a deadly weapon. You're out in 239 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: a year. This smells like gascon to me. Boy, definitely 240 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: a remnant of the gascon era. Now, I don't know 241 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: if you've seen the photos, the mugshots of about fifteen 242 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: of the suspects. You know, they've arrested thirty nine suspects, 243 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: a lot of them in the Santa Monica area who've 244 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: been doing the looting. There's a pretty solid blockade around 245 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades around the fire area, and then there's these 246 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: evacuation zones, mandatory zones where people have been forced to 247 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: leave their homes and the looters have been going nuts. 248 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: I'm in the next. 249 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: Section, which is evacuation warning. I don't have to go, 250 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: and we have it, but I'm telling you there's looters 251 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: all over the neighborhood and I haven't seen police. But 252 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: in the Santa Monica area. They arrested a lot of 253 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: the thirty nine were arrested in that area. And it 254 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I heard Robert Luna, the sheriff, on Fox and they 255 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: had to ask him twice if he knew whether these 256 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: were legal citizens or not, and the first time he 257 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: just babbled and didn't answer the question. Second time when 258 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: the anchor asked, do we know if these are illegal citizens? 259 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: And he said, well, that's not a question we ask out. 260 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: You can't. 261 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: You cannot have a civilized society if you let in 262 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: millions of illegal aliens, some of them criminals, crazy, young 263 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: drug addicted men. In this case, you can't even ask 264 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: if they're a citizen. 265 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: Is it that bad? You don't turn them over to 266 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: Ice readily. 267 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: He's running around with a torch and they still think 268 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 3: he might have been a suspect in that West hillspire. 269 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: What this has got to stop. This is beyond insanity. 270 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: There's no words for this. No country would do this. 271 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: No civilization has ever done this, at least not one 272 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: that lasted. 273 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: How could you? 274 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: It's this sick, woke cult, this sick progressive ideology. 275 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: It's got to stop. You can't sit there scrolling anymore. 276 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: Everybody's sitting on their phone doing the doom scroll. You've 277 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 3: got to let everybody in government know that this nightmare 278 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 3: is over. 279 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: It's done. Karen Bass fired. Newsom fired the. 280 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: Head of a dw PG and he's quinoas fired and 281 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: also put in the garbage. All these policies, Century city policies, 282 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: all the immigration illegal immigration protection policies. We're allowing illegal 283 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: aliens into the country and they're setting fires during a windstorm. 284 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: We're allowing tens of thousands of homeless people to live 285 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: in the streets, getting whacked out on meth and starting 286 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: fires during a windstorm. We don't position the fire department 287 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: in the fire prone areas, even though they had about 288 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: five or six days worth of fire danger warnings. Of course, 289 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: Karen Bass is responsible in the city council. I'd fire 290 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: thirteen out of the fifteen on the city council. Gavin Newsom, 291 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: how about the deputy chief that we played of the 292 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: fire department yesterday? 293 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: She said. 294 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: Talking about whether women make good firefighters. Hey, if a 295 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 1: female firefighter can't lift a man, then that man got 296 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: into the wrong place. In other words, he deserves to 297 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: die at a fire. If she as a female firefighter 298 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: is not strong enough to carry him out. Not her fault, 299 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: his fault. She's got to be fired. They have to 300 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: be cleaned out. There's nothing else to do. There's no 301 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: talking to these people. You cannot convince a member of 302 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: a cult. I mean, you've heard these stories about, you know, 303 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: these weird sex cults. There'd be a guru in Oregon. 304 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: They'd be Charles Manson. Right, they got a whole harem 305 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: of women, right, they got fifteen women. And the women 306 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: are all scantily dressed or naked, and they're you know, 307 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: they're tied to a wall getting beaten, and the cult 308 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: leader is howling at the moon. And if you go 309 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: and try to rescue the girls, they'll tell you, oh but. 310 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: We love him. 311 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: That's what I feel the LA voters are like with 312 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: these progressive politicians like Bass and Newsome. You're getting burned out, 313 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: you're getting all your stuff stolen, you're getting terrorized, you're 314 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: being beaten up. 315 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 3: Some people are being murdered. And you point to the 316 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: policies that a Bass and a Newsom initiate and say, hey, 317 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: maybe these people should go and we get different people 318 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 3: running the place. 319 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: Oh but I love her. Oh, but I love him. 320 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 2: It's not their fault. You're acting insane. Yes, it's their fault. 321 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: How can you let this guy Sierra with the bloke 322 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: torch go running around and not turn him over to 323 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: ICE immediately and have ICE support him or put him 324 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: at a federal prison. He's got a long list of crimes. 325 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: He's committed assault with a deadly weapon. He got out 326 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: in the. 327 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: Year or less. 328 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: Can't lift this way. We come back and we're going 329 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: to talk with Paul Hadad. He's an author. He filmed 330 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: a video showing locals confronting a man who set a 331 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: fire next to the La River. This happened in Los 332 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: Felis on Saturday.

Our unhoused neighbors, 358 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: people experiencing homelessness listen to these long winded euphemisms, and 359 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: he's asking them not to set warming fires. How maybe, 360 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: Chief Anthony Maroney, maybe you could call in and explain 361 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: how many homeless people you think can hear your announcement 362 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: while they're whacked out on meth or fentanyl. Inside their 363 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: tents or faced down on a city sidewalk. How exactly 364 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: what do you think the communication method is to get 365 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: your announcements to their attention. A plead to the unhoused. 366 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: Do you think there's a single unhost person? Gotta hate 367 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: that phrase experiencing homelessness. They're vagrants, they're meant to patients. 368 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: They're drug addicts, they're bums. Some of them don't even 369 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: know who they are and what they're gonna go for shelter. 370 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: They don't know how to go for shelter. 371 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: How are they gonna do that? They're stuck in their 372 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: tent whacked out? On myth? Is everybody? Is? Everybody in 373 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: government on myth? 374 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: You know, if you told me that this whole crowd 375 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: is on myth, then I'd understand it. Tell me that 376 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: Newsom and Bass and Kenonaz and the rest of them 377 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: are all on meth. It's like, Okay, I can see 378 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: why this is happening, but they're not on meth. 379 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: Maybe they should be on meth. I couldn't believe that 380 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: the guy in the tent. 381 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: Is not hearing your your plea to set a not 382 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: to set a warming fire. 383 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 3: Is that what they're called now warming fires, warming fires. 384 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 3: Talk to twenty thousand people in the Palisades about the 385 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 3: warming fires. 386 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: Uh, just can't be happening.

What did you record? 397 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: Well? 398 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 7: I was walking along the Elle River in the grip 399 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 7: of the park area and came across the man who 400 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 7: was starting a fire on one of those barricades made 401 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 7: of sand that they have erected on the eastern bank 402 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 7: of the river, and he was fanning the flames of 403 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 7: a little fire he built out of twigs and leaves, 404 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 7: and me and another guy who I saw coming down, 405 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 7: I said, we've got to stop this guy, and I 406 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 7: infronted him. He seemed kind of out to lunch, didn't 407 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 7: really register what he was doing was dangerous, especially given 408 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 7: the times, and I immediately called nine to one one, uh, 409 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 7: spoke to the fire department. And the other guy, who 410 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 7: I kind of flagged down, he took his water bottle 411 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 7: and dumped his water over the fire and put it out, 412 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 7: and then you know, made sure that we made sure 413 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 7: the guy put sand on the remaining members. 414 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 2: And he let he lit up dead leaves and twigs. 415 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, apparently he's been there. There was another woman. There 416 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 7: was a woman I saw walking and she said, oh, 417 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 7: that guy, he's been here several times over the last 418 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 7: few weeks and he keeps starting fires. And I said, 419 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 7: did you ever call anyone about it? She said, no, 420 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 7: he's just always around. And he apparently is not homeless, 421 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 7: at least that's what he told me another person. It 422 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 7: didn't look, you know, like he had been sleeping in 423 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 7: a tent or anything. 424 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: But that's even worse. I mean this, then this guy's 425 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: an arsonist. 426 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 7: Well you know, arsonists, pyro fetish, fire starter, whatever you 427 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 7: want to call him. Nature doesn't care, you know. That's 428 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 7: why I look at it. It's it's it's whatever we 429 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 7: label this person, it doesn't matter if it's you know, 430 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 7: the retreats right above his little fire, and he just 431 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 7: seemed to kind of get off on making the fire, 432 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 7: and that's what was concerning, which he'll probably be out there, 433 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 7: you know, in a few days. The cops actually didn't 434 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 7: even come. They didn't want his information. They just put 435 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 7: me right through to the fire department. 436 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: Wit. 437 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: Wait, wait, you had it on video though, Yeah, that's 438 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: on video, and they don't even want to talk to him. 439 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 7: They immediately put me through to the fire department because 440 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 7: they thought that was I guess the bigger concern, because. 441 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, but this guy ought to be evaluated. 442 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: Nobody. 443 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 7: Does you agree he should be evaluated one hundred percent? 444 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because he might have registring, he might have 445 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: a terrible mental illness, or he might be having some 446 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: reaction to drugs or yeah, a criminal with him one sheet. 447 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 7: You know what's interesting.
