we're right by the palisades villages, which is owned by rick caruso. who? rick caruso joins us now live on the phone. rick, thanks so much for being with us. what do you know? what are you seeing in terms of your property tonight? >> well, hi, alex, thanks for covering this so well, listen, it's a disaster to the hundredth degree. it's beyond anything i think any of us could have ever imagined. but my heart goes out, obviously, to the people with their homes. and i'm watching the small businesses around us go up in flames. you know, this is people's livelihoods. so it's devastating. but what is most concerning to me is our first responders and our firefighters who are trying to battle this. there's no water in the palisades. there's no water coming out of the fire hydrants. this is an absolute mismanagement by the city. it's not the firefighters fault, but it's their city. and i'm going to be very honest. we've got a mayor that's out of the country, and we've got a city that's burning and there's no resources to put out fires. so if you look at your picture

. >> you know, we heard former mayoral candidate rick caruso talking earlier. he's losing some of his properties. and he said that there is no there was no water in palisades in order to fight the fires. can you talk a little bit more about that as well as mitigation, things that need to be put in place in order to prevent something like this in the future? >> well, definitely the capacity of the water system to deliver under adverse conditions like a firestorm, you know, wind driven fire event. what's the vulnerability of the system to these events? and that is something that we need to know. and apparently it wasn't sufficient. if the fire department are reporting a loss of fire or a loss of water pressure, that's big because you can't fight a fire without water, as mister caruso said. and so they need to go back and find out who is responsible and who's responsible for maintaining this. and do local residents contribute to the problem if they all turn on their water at once, you know, people are trying to do their own, you know, sheltering in place and tryin

we need somebody like rick caruso.t need somebody that is going to take taxpayer-funded boondoggle trips to ghana and be an asleep at the wheel while the city is burning. >> sandra: it's interesting what you're saying there, as these are live pictures, we continue to watch as they are able to get some aircraft in the air while there's a dip in the wind speed right now -- i want to finish off with this. to your point, adam kroll, a resident of that area, suggesting once people leave, a lot of times when it happens, it's this bad, they don't come back. watch. >> you guys all voted for karen bass, the mayor of los angeles. you all voted for gavin newsom. and now you [ bleep ] get what you get. oh, now that your house is on fire, now you want to know what's going on. what's going on around there? all those people who were deep blue democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild. when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for rick c

rick caruso hiring private firefighters to protect his home and outdoor mall from the l.a. are praising him for being prepared others say it is wrong to prioritize them all over local businesses and homes. is he justified his it smart or selfish? kevin corke. >> i don't want to get political but i would like to shake his hand i think that was a brilliant thing to do. protect your own you can help others after the circumstance. >> trace: amber duke? >> absolutely. private property rights he has every right to use his money to protect his own property. by the way he helped out neighbors i think you should be getting a round of applause as opposed to being chastised. >> trace: the attorney and you come bring him out to give us the low down on this. >> listen he tried to protect everyone's property, he ran for mayor and the people said i don't want your help though you don't get his help i guess. and how embarrassing for l.a. honestly it shows that if you have adequate firefighting protection you can protect your people. this is the failure of l.a. government. >> trace: evan ba

, but most of the hollywood community didn't go for rick ca caruso.ack in the day when i first got there with sinatra and jimmy stewart and john wayne and you had a lot of big stars that were conservatives. so it was balancing out. johnny carson is would have talked about the problems. jimmy kimmel, god bless him, he's half italian, i've known him, he doesn't because he's in bed9 with the democrats. schumer, schiff, pelosi, newsom, that's a meeting ground for the left in hollywood. and this is what happens. actors are frightened to speak out, they're frightened because of their jobs for getting blacklisted, so stuff like this happens -- elizabeth: okay, we've got to -- maybe it'll change. show the list of celebrities' homes whose houses, celebrities' houses and their neighborhoods got burned. this is now -- jamie if lee -- by the way, jamie lye cur curtis' neighborhood was burned. there's now a recall petition, nearly 40,000 people demand l.a. mayor with karen bass be immediately recalled. we've got the l.a. fire chief rebutting l.a. mayor bass. the c

caruso founder and executive chairman against karen bass in l.a. two years ago.ou for joining us. you caught our attention this morning with analysis of the situation saying this looks like a third world country. >> yeah, first of all, thank you for having me. it does look like a third world country. to the devastation up in the palisades area is so widespread most of the downtown is gone. one of my developments at there was damaged but still standing, which we are very, very grateful for. but obviously, we are not sure what will happen because they were still fire around it. most of the sections are gone i heard on the report schools, churches. what is amazing to me how widespread station this could happen in a relatively short period of time. one of the things you reported was the lack of water and fire hydrants. i think there is a lot of tough questions to be asked how it happened. was the citic to make city adequately prepared and new high winds were coming? trigger point, the brush in this area has not happened for decades. although it started in a neighborh

and from there, things kind of went off and i was able to meet misty caruso from the alameda county sheriff's office. we had a seminar. we turned this really low level training into a statewide training with over 300 law enforcement officials. there we met vern pierson, the el dorado d.a. and really, from there, back in march of last year, we formed a team. and i always noticed when it came to denise and aaron, they never referred to their inciden with just singular. they never referred to it as just mueller. they always talked about the kidnapers them, they. and that got me really interested in wanting to know if they felt there was more people involved. and they certainly did. and there were some things that never went public and still have not gone public that are very suspicious. and i felt in law enforcement i was obligated not only just to say sorry to them, but to try and help. chief, tell me a little bit about when you went because you went to prison and you met mueller. how did you get him? just to give you all this information, it seems like he wanted to get it off his chest. or. or

you had people that were voting for karen bass or rick caruso. gavin newsom comes along and they don't want to change. they don't want to move from their typical behavior, their voting behavior. even though we saw the policies are wrong. i was one of the first trump supporters. i wrote about it on breitbart. you know this, other people know this in 2015. and yet the blowback from the hollywood community now people are waking up a little bit. america has been burning for decades, not just california. and my heart goes out again to all those people that lost their homes. but it didn't have to happen. as you said before, the forestry, just cleaning the brush. how about desalinization plants? find some new technology. but you know what? gavin newsom wants to have california 2.0. what does that mean? single family homes. you can now build multiple family homes that i think this is part of the wef. there's a part of me that feels there's something much more nefarious going on, sean, much more nefarious going on, because it makes no sense. we had fires

i'm texting with rick caruso house is gone. on the phone with melissa rivers house is gone. all of my friends houses are gone. and this should not have happened if they were properly prepared. like this would never happen in new york. this is really poor on karen bass and i'm sorry to say it, i don't want to make this political, but this is this is an embarrassment. as for what's going to happen from here on? well let's see people in the palisades. let's let's start at the top. like, let's say you've lived there for your entire life and you're in your 70s or 80s. are you going to start rebuilding when you're 75 years old? are you going to start rebuilding nine months of permitting. and by the way, you have it's like it's going to look like a farmland or like mars all around you. there's nothing there. you're going to build your house. you'll be 85 by the time you're done. no, they're going to buy condos and move on. like maybe younger people will rebuild, but like, who wants to live in like, mars? like, well, there's there's nothing around you. so i think there's going to be

. >> caruso.h. >> caruso, who had solutions because that's all. >> while she was sitting there frozen, trying to figure out who she could blame because she has a lot in common with the lori lightfoot's in chicago. who's they? chicago figured it out, but then they just made the same mistake again twice. new orleans the same thing. they hire these pretty little boxes, and i'm using the word pretty is something else. but they hire these little boxes that are all checked and everybody's virtue signaling and we've got this person in there. it's the first and it's diverse. and then something goes wrong and they go, they're stupid. they panic. you have a fight or flight mentality in leadership doesn't mean you run through buildings, but when the buildings are burning down, the politicians are supposed to be the one to say, hey, it's going to be okay. i've got people in place to do this. we're going to do that. we're doing this. and you shouldn't need a script to protect the state that you run from. yeah.

. >> officer misty caruso contacted the fbi. >> i said, i have this suspect in custody who may be a person of interest to you in the vallejo kidnaping case that you guys deemed a hoax. and he told me that it wasn't the fbi saying that it was a hoax, and that it was vallejo pd that said it was a hoax. >> in 2017, matthew mueller entered a guilty plea to denise's kidnaping and was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison. later this week, he is scheduled to appear in court again on the new charges. denise and aaron, now married, received a $2.5 million settlement from the city of vallejo in 2018 with no admission of wrongdoing. and in 2021, the police chief at the time issued a public apology, writing in part, what happened to miss huskins and mr. quinn is horrific and evil. i would like to extend my deepest apology for how they were treated during this ordeal. >> after the case with denise huskins and aaron quinn, we always thought that these kidnaping and sexual assault charges were just a one off. but now with dna evidence, it suggests that we're just scratching the surface. >> denise offe

. >> it was alameda county sheriff's office lieutenant misty caruso who linked muller to the vallejo kidnaping while investigating a dublin thwarted home invasion. the case gained further notoriety with a recent netflix documentary, sparking seaside police chief nick borges to reach out to huskins. >> he sent us a message on instagram through the police department. >> huskins and quinn, who are now married, were interested in speaking with mueller because we knew that there were things that just weren't followed up on. chief borges helped facilitate a letter writing campaign to the convicted kidnaper. >> you'll never know what's under a rock if you don't turn it. and we started flipping rocks, which ultimately gave way to a two day interview with mueller in a tucson prison. >> was he willing to talk to you without his attorney? >> he was, and i don't think he had an attorney representing him. he had already been sentenced to prison. at the time. there was no fresh charges at that time. >> in my view, there's no doubt in terms of his mental status and ability to speak with us. >> inve

. >> alameda county sheriff's lieutenant misty caruso helped crack a dublin home invasion committed by mueller. >> i implore everybody to be kinder, to make sure that the information that we are putting out there is correct, that mistakes don't get made again. like this. >> mueller is serving 40 years in a federal prison in arizona. that's where the feds interviewed him in person. but for now, he's being held at santa clara county jail, and he'll appear in the contra costa county case at a later date in seaside. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> developing tonight, some bay area firefighters have been pre-positioned close to where a fast moving wildfire is burning in southern california. a live look for you here at the situation in pacific palisades, where several homes have already been lost. the palisades fire started this morning as santa ana winds returned to the area. it has already grown to nearly 3000 acres just yesterday. cal fires. san mateo santa cruz unit sent five engines to the l.a. area. fox eleven's chelsea edwards shows us some of the firefighting underway tonight. >> lo

hampton silos sides is right there's a dash of comrade darwin and robinson caruso and certainly more thanai that with of. "edenn undone" is mesmerizing ad completely tragic compellingly tragic. she confronts a truth about civilization per twice a night we can't delude her own nature. hollywood has this copy and ron howard is adapting the theme story to the big screen in a movie called eden starring jude law which will come out in 2025. it's an honor to host abbott at the harrisburg book festival so without further ado please join me in giving her a warm round of applause. [applause] seem to think everybody for coming up s and thank you stuart for that introduction and i really appreciate your enthusiasm for the story in general. >> i can't tell you how many movies with jude law and it. he's done a lot of wonderful independent movies. let's jump right into it. in "eden undone" you focus on this group of eccentrics. >> that's a kind word. >> i find immensely fascinating. they take a pilgrimage to the galapagos and what first sparked your interest >> i've been wanting to write the story

>> reporter: yeah, so rick caruso was talking about the ability to fight the fire in pacific palisadesvillage, a pretty well known shopping center. he was complaining that there wasn't enough water for firefighters to protect that property. what they have pointed out here is that this part of los angeles is powered by water tanks, instead of a traditional underground line. so there's just not as much water pressure there. that's what he was referencing. but yeah, there have been political comments. when you heard gavin newsom out here, he was talking about president biden was out here helping us. there was no bickering or fighting, even though he didn't use the name of president- elect trump. this is just a heartbreaking, devastating, and frankly dangerous situation still. >> chase, thank you. chase cain, joinings, giving us a sense of what the things look like on the ground there, david. this is a tough one. >> yeah, very. as obviously was just indicated, very, very dangerous and so much at risk. obviously you start with people's livelihoods, their homes and everything else. as you mi

beyond that also the policies of gavin newsom when rick caruso lost the election, even though he went as a democrat for political reasons. he had good policies. i blame the left of hollywood. those politicians, gavin newsom, karen bass and all the politicians, we have to make hollywood accountable. because the politicians do what they do. we know that gavin newsom is what he is. he gave a billion-dollar contract to the chinese to do masks. we know that in 1990, p wilson wanted to have reservoirs in california but the left stopped it and a lot of that is the hollywood left that is bought and paid for, they go up to their and they talk with the hollywood elites and they get attention to issues. especially in california. larry elder was slandered by the people. he should have won that election for the governor . it's terrible what's happened. >> sean: if he ran today i would argue he would win. if kamala runs after i would argue the odds are very high that she's going to win. look at donald trump coming into office, i don't think republicans are going to appropriate funds to rebuild whic

. >> i was looking at the numbers she won the mayor's race by nine points over rick caruso the big developere palisades you wonder if some people are having buyer's remorse. we will see what happens there. a great discussion. on a positive note we are seeing how communities are coming together to save each other and their animals. here's a look at some of the moments this man dodge fire to release horses that were trapped in the flames. volunteers of the pasadena humane society have rescued hundreds of house pets and they are treating a cats burns. the heartwarming moment showing a man reuniting with his dog after he went missing for five days. wow look at the video happy dog and happy person. that's very nice. it's not just animals, to dedicated rescue workers pictured here can be seen saving a man's life and there have been a lot of these moments throughout the fires. a brave individual climbed up a poll to save an american flag from burning. that is wonderful. how is this for inspiring the family joined together in a song after seeing the statue of the virgin mary had survived the fire. l

here of more the former mayoral candidate and businessman rick caruso who is with us. this was an issue in the campaign we know the mayor was in ghana and we know she came back and was asked questions we know she refused to answer any questions what is your reaction. >> first of all thanks for shining a light on this it's an incredibly devastating time in the city entire neighborhoods and is watching what you put up on the screen doesn't even paint 1% of the picture entire neighborhoods being wiped out in los angeles. and we've got brave firefighters risking their lives to fight these fires but with the palisades fire they were standing there with hoses with no water on them. hydrants were dry and firefighters were complaining demanding water and it was the most devastating and unbelievable see in to watch somebody's home and businesses and burned to the ground and a firefighter can't do anything about it. we've got a leadership issue here and tough questions that need to be answered and we need to get to the bottom of it. >> sean: how do they even put it out i mean to

. >> greg: over caruso.ecause she was sitting there frozen trying to figure out to she could blame. because she has a lot in common with the lori lightfoot and chicago they had it figured out but they made the same mistake twice. new orleans the same thing, they hire these pretty little boxes and i'm using the word pretty as something else on the use the boxes like everybody is virtue signaling and they have this person in there it is the first. and then something goes wrong and they go they are stupid. they panic. you have a fight or flight mentality and leadership does not mean you run through buildings but when the buildings are burning down the politicians are supposed to be the one to say, hey, it is going to be okay. i have people in place to do this we will do that we're doing this and you should not need a script to protect the state that you run from. and then there is the other person who was only there to be the hood ornament on that piece of [bleep] virtue signaling dei car they are driving. and

bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for rick carusotime because they want to get -- that's all trump says, we're going to pull back the regulations. >> sandra: and they might find that all that regulation's going to make this rebuild process tough and to your point about the mandates on the insurance fees that they can't move them, the insurance will just leave. >> that's what's happening. again, all state's leaving. state farm is leaving. those are two big outfits. you have to worry about smaller private insurance companies that may not have the capital. they may promise you the world and they may go belly-up. also, what adam's saying, again, i want to be sure to say this, this is a nightmare going on in california. okay. and it was a natural disaster nightmare. put apparently from reports the mayor was told that santa ana winds coming in the weather forecast was a big risk. point number one. point number two: she did unfortunately reduce the fire budget. by the way, i would like to he no about the police budget. i'll bet that came do

rick caruso? he would have been able to handle this.t even have water in the fire hydrants? now they are looking into it and turning on each other. i don't know if you have seen the clip the l.a. fire department chair is saying the city of los angeles failed them and we are finding out that these elections one thing was right, barack obama when he said elections have consequences when you pick leaders you get results. california has a beautiful place but they have destroyed it with the left-wing government. >> sean: you will know the worst part joe concha his why am so certain people with with common sense already left california. why am i pretty certain that if newsom ran again or if kamala harris ran for governor out there are the odds are really high they will win because the people that stayed are the people that seem to put up with all of this. >> you are right about that. the president as they are, by the way. adam schiff goes for congressmen and got selected to the senate quite easily despite being the most discredited, at least

we talked with rick caruso, who had heard that, perhaps, the reservoirs were an issue. >> no issues, whatsoever. the data is publicly available. anybody can use the internet and look at it for themselves. >>> after the break, why rising yields may be a threat to stocks. they haven't been lately, but maybe now. plus, the hype around high flyers like quantum computing and micro strategy. both of those names losing momentum today. we will dig into both when power lunch returns. z's bakery is looking to add a pizza oven, arissa's hair salon wants to expand their space, and steve's t-shirt shop wants to bring on more help. with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee, they can think more about possibilities for their business and not the cost of their internet. it's five years of gig-speeds and advanced security. all from the company with 99.9% network reliability. get the 5-year price lock guarantee, now back for a limited time. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities™. >>> welcome back. we want to talk more about bond yields in the stock market, is a lot of atten

this gave the rick caruso who ran against her in 2022 the opportunity to step up to the plate.e filled that information gap while she is in guana. he was talking to reporters. he was talking about what their community needed. >> steve: he was talking about how the hydrants were dry in the village. honors lawrence such an embarrassment. we have done extensive reporting on homelessness. there has been no improvement. you spent all this money. it's not impacting the problem there. and then people can't get water. you don't have enough firemen with equipment. this is a management issue. and i think this is -- i don't want to take it to this past election. but i'm going to because this is common sense. that they are putting this green energy stuff over people's public safety. you are not going to have a green environment if it's burnt down. >> one thing they did increase the homeless population by tens of thousands. because almost everybody is homeless now in southern california. >> ainsley: that's why they need billions of dollars. gavin newsom said if you are homeless, come out he

i saw that rick caruso as he was a person who ran for mayor.mayor and his daughter lost her house and the fire so my heart goes out to them. no water in the palisades. the infrastructure has been a big problem around here and it's where we should spend money. i do have an issue with that. i'm sure she got on the first plane coming back but having nothing to say once you got here. i don't know if it was edited like that. >> jesse: not a good luck. >> we need to keep it up. another fire started in runyon right now. dennis and glad to talk you into everything's okay thank you and thank all the firefighters. >> sean: welcome to hannity a fox news alert southern california is

but i think there's a chance that rick caruso, who has made this -- ran for governor or, rather, lost for governor in a couple of years, in 2026. and i think he has tried to lay bare that this problem is due to mismanagement. and i think this may actually, perhaps, drive some voter revolt in 2026. let's hope. stuart: is there any sign that the liberals are losing faith in this, with the climate crowd and really want to reverse these crazy policies? >> if only. the response that i got from my column is not encouraging on that. there's a lot of vitriolic, very vitriolic response calling me a moron and such, an idiot. how dare you point this out. so they are very much doubling down on their climate policies. stuart: allysia, you manage to hit the nail on the head every time you write. allysia finley, "wall street journal." thanks very much. >>> it's that time when we bring you the tuesday trivia question. and i know the answer to this. i guarantee i know this one. what was the last major league baseball stadium to install lights for night games? fenway park, angels stadium, wrigley fiel

here today, i said about 10 months ago, nick gorgeous, who had met with denise and aaron and misty caruso and pronouncer right in eye and >> they were after 9 years, persistent that there was more to this case. that mister matt moeller had committed more crimes perhaps who worked with others in the commission of those crimes. as a result of their peers, persistence refer to let that the chief speak in just a moment. but the chief initiated essentially a letter writing effort to mr. mueller seeking to engage him. you know, listen to some information. but because his efforts, there was a presentation in march of last year that i attended as well as one in may of last year up in south lake tahoe, that denise aaron and misty and she forges. also all spoke at. >> we're going to take a quick break here on kron for news at noon and come back and listen to the chief. talk about the new charges againand we're gonn some new information information now about the american nightmare case. let's go right now to this press conference because the chief is talking about that new charges against matthew mu

might not know him, rick caruso, a developer in l.a. >> ran for mayor. >> ran for mayor against karen bass, the sitting mayor of l.a. propped up a big shopping center in town. and he was on local news the night the fire started talking about essentially making political claims why the fire got so out of control.ut and we talked to people locally today who have said that the reason that the water may not have been at the pressure they wanted it to was because of w overuse. the tanks were full to the maximum kpas kpty. but when you or i at our own homes turn on the shower, malaysia the washing man machine at the lasame time, the water pressure goes down. that claim spread on social media by people including the people on x have led to a lot of confusion about what's going on. when you hear people ask, how could it get so out of control? this was an unprecedented situation and series of events. >> wind events. >> wincredibly dry. it had been incredibly dry.bl and wind gusts that were hurricane force that basically made this community and much of los angeles county right now, a tinderbox

rick caruso who ran for mayor against karen bass, lost, he redeveloped the village, changed it a lot. put in some really nice shops. there's an ehrwon down there. that's one of the only places that is still left. he fired, i believe, a private fire crew to keep it intact. he says that they also helped keep some of the surrounding homes. but it is a weird thing to see, chris, that this entire community is gone, the historic buildings even across the street gone. but the new shopping center is fine. >> strange. katy tur, thank you very much. i really appreciate it. stay safe. >> thanks. >>> rumors, lies, and hoaxes have always spread during times of disaster. it's a phenomenon probably as old as humanity itself. even the best of circumstances, a crisis like this unprecedented los angeles wildfire would be a vector for a lot of bad information. our polluted information environment is creating an absolute blow torch of lies, being spread by the richest man in the world on the platform he owns to spread them, and the incoming president of the united states. for example, there's the false c

rick caruso. he apparently hired private fire crews to work this area. it worked, i guess.nd the rest of the place, it's no good. >> yeah. and it's been stunning to hear how many people have some sort of connection, right? just hearing people, for example in the newsroom. >> yeah. >> my nephew and his wife, they were here over the holidays, in the newsroom, they live in pacific palisades. they're down, obviously not there now. and i think what strikes me a lot, is that when we've gone to scenes of destruction, including wildfires, and i covered wildfires when i was out in l.a. you could go through and find things. you know, pieces of your life, or memories, you know, maybe it's a picture frame. it seems like there's nothing there, katy. nothing. >> no. i was looking. i was looking. i didn't see anything. i mean, i wasn't going on properties or anything. if it wasn't metal, i don't know how it survived. i was able to find a watch on the street. the cliche of a stopped watch. it was stopped. but it wasn't working any longer. it was shattered and smashed. if you didn't leave w

. >> caruso was on fox local last night. he has a home in the palisades and businesses and developed the new outdoor shopping area there. he said there is no water in the palisades. gross mismanagement. >> harris: i had people reaching out about malibu as well about the hydrants that had no pressure. kennedy rick god bless you. i know that the level of loss and i pray for you and your family and your friends. >> thank you. >> harris: senior national correspondent william la jeunesse is in malibu to bring us the latest from there. i mean, just apocalyptic behind you, william. >> we've been here pretty much all morning and we saw about a dozen homes here along pch get destroyed. you are looking at what's left right now. i wanted to show you how close we are to the water. it is right there. these homes literally were right along the beach basically north of dukes and south of pepperdine. they just went up. they were packed one after the other and they couldn't stop it, right? finally the firefighters -- i will actually pan, if

parades and, you know, getting together for, you know, this christmas market that happens over at the carusoenter. and everyone's really there for each other right now. and i think that's that's really important. and, um, we're not over obviously in los angeles, you know, there's fires everywhere, but we're lucky to be here. i'm lucky to be with my family. i've got my family here. i'm lucky, you know, that. my kids are are happy for right now and that we're going to do our best to make them, you know, happy next week and the weeks to come. >> even amid these terrible setbacks, it does make you kind of count your blessings. ross greenburg, thank you very much for sharing your story with us and good luck moving forward. >> thanks so much. >> all right. meanwhile, health officials are warning of the effects that wildfire smoke can have both short term and long term. an expert will join us to explain more about that next. plus, california warns of scammers preying on victims of the wildfires and those who want to help. those details just ahead after the break. >> this part changed my life. >> su

caruso ville has basically been torched to the ground.lopment in palisades village, in an area that really is so densely populated, it's unfathomable that the damage that that's happened right now. >> but you're seeing, you know, hollywood stars, activists, pod save america, host the likes asking california and los angeles and specifically one of the most progressive cities in the country to really rethink a lot of the policies that they've implemented and a lot of the dysfunction that that people have been criticizing with regards to homelessness and other less urgent situations. >> and to try to course correct. but i do think at the end of the day, this is a real lesson in overdevelopment in places that that should not be overturned. >> and then the question is what to do about that morning joe to do about that morning joe weekend watch your step!k. that's why visionworks makes it simple to schedule an eye exam that works for you. even if you have a big trip to plan around. thanks! i mean, i can see you right now if that's...convenient.

this is coming from rick caruso, but also a lot of folks that there was too much brush out there and the brush needed to be cleared. and part of the reason this fire got so out of control was that there was just too much density up in the hills. is that true? >> well, it's true that there hasn't been a fire within the last 40 to 50 years out here. so you get that 40 to 50 year growth on the brush, and you do get a dead component under there. so there could be some truth to that. there is you know, these hills do grow brush very well as it is southern california. so yeah, without a frequent fire return interval, you're going to get heavy brush in places. >> what is the difficulty in doing? what's the difficulty in doing controlled burns to prevent this sort of thing. >> controlled burns can be hard. there's definitely challenges to conducting controlled burns, especially around large populations of folks because there are smoke impacts and things like that. so yeah, there's definitely challenges associated with doing prescribed fire around urban and wildlife, wildland urban interface

billionaires who lie, you also have the real estate mogul and failed candidate for los angeles mayor richard caruso, who along with has been actor james woods, has been spreading harmful lies about los angeles mayor karen bass since the fires began. here is woods with black santa truther megyn kelly. >> here's what happened in our neighborhood. >> all the houses were on fire on our street. >> the fire trucks got up there, but there was no water because karen bass didn't fill the reservoirs. so all the fire reservoirs were not. so the fire trucks there, they couldn't pump water. >> none of that is true. and of course, there was more from megyn kelly, who seems to be sometimes the world's angriest multi-millionaire, as well as fox, where right wing billionaire rupert murdoch's puppets, like jesse watters have blamed everything from d e i and the mayor being black and the la fire chief being a lesbian to. and i am not joking here. the indigenous for the fires. >> california can't get enough water to fight fires because of a stupid fish. >> gavin's literally tearing down western civilization for fish a

rick caruso, he would have been able to handle this. you don't even have water in the fire hydrants. and now they're looking into it. they're turning on each other. i don't know if you've seen the clip. the la fire department chair is now saying yes, the city of los angeles failed them. and we're finding out that these elections, one thing was right. barack obama when he said elections have consequences. yeah. when you pick crappy leaders, you get crappy results. california is a beautiful place, but they have destroyed it with left wing governance. >> you know what the worst part. joe concha is? why am i so certain that the people of common sense already left california? as clay was pointing out? why am i pretty certain that if newsom ran again, or if kamala harris runs for governor out there, the odds are really high that they're going to win? because the people that stayed or the people that seem to put up with all this, well, you're right about that, sean. >> the precedent is there, by the way. i mean, adam schiff goes from congressm

let's see rick caruso run for mayor and win. >> that's local government. have you thought about state, about fema, about the federal government as well? >> yeah, i haven't really been thinking about that right now, but we definitely need a big change. what's happening in california isn't working. the state is totally dysfunctional and we need to do a better job. >> let me ask you, when you think about the future after all of this, just shock, you know, a couple of months from now, do you think about rebuilding, about staying? have you given thought to leaving the area, or are you like me, by the way, a californian through and through? i just happen to live and work in new york, but i'm an l.a. girl, i get it. >> yeah, i got i got new york in my dna. but i'm california through and through. if i wasn't here, i'd be in bali. >> okay, well, there's one place to think about. do you surf? is that part of this as well? >> yeah. yeah. i love to surf. there's no waves and. yeah. okay. >> alec gillis, i want to i want to thank you so much for your candor and for smi
