white house, in your view? no, i think it's _ white house, in your view? house, in yourview? iirr, i think it's early to assess, but i do think there was a number of factors that were at play that resulted in the continued delay of an agreement. 0bviously, continued delay of an agreement. obviously, i continued delay of an agreement. 0bviously, ithink it started with the killing nasrallah and haniya, and the killing of sinwar. under the negotiations in terms of how many palestinian prisoners will be released, for every hostage life that is passed as a result of this conflict. i think that every adversary will attempt in every adversary will attempt in every terrorist organisation will attempt to try to exploit strategic transitions, and i think what we saw today in this announcement that there is no gap between our current administration and that of the incoming administration. to your point, prime minister netanyahu had the experience of working with president—elect trump in his previous ministration, so i think he clearly knew that there was a concerted

house. i've walked by a painting of the statue of liberty. i don't know how many times in the painting there are several workers climbing on the outstretched arm of the statue that holds the torch. it reminds me every day i pass it of the story and soul of our nation, and the power of the american people. there's a story of a veteran. this is a veteran, a son of an immigrant whose job was to climb that torch and polish the amber paints so rays of light could reach out as far as possible. he was known as the keeper of the flame. he once said of the statue of liberty, quote speaks a silent, universal language, one of hope that anyone who seeks and speaks freedom can understand. yes, we sway back and forth to withstand the fury of the storm, to stand the test of time, a constant struggle, a constant struggle, a short distance between peril and possibility. but what i believe is the america of our dreams is always closer than we think, and it's up to us to make our dreams come true. let me close

that his house was okay.now, pacific palisades resident and evacuee and my friend jed weitzman. jed, thanks for being with us. i said before the break that it might not be such a good thing to find. your home is the only one standing and not. and i don't mean that. i mean, obviously everyone wants their home standing. you can go back and get your memories and get your things, but there's nothing left around it. so. so how do you feel? i mean, do you want to move back? i mean, that's do you want to be there? >> you know, i the fact that i can go back and pick up things that i forgot, you know, that i didn't get all my, you know, my daughter's dance team jacket or her, you know, her, whatever. it's just the fact that i can go back there and do that is a blessing. and the fact that it's still standing is we are beyond lucky. and a lot of my neighbors, that's not the case. so do i want to go back there today? >> yeah. >> i don't know, katie. i've been so crazed after what happened on tuesday, we saw the fire star

but the house across the street, some friends of ours, they lost their house. um, everybody lost their house around us, and there was nobody to help us. we were all on roof, and it was really sad. >> i mean, it's just incredible that you were able to do this. and, i mean, and i'm. i'm so sorry for your neighbors who who weren't. and i mean, it's such a you know, i've never been up there. i spent the day up there. it's so beautiful. the area you live in. and i understand why you would. you would live up, why you would live up there. um, but those roads are so small. i mean, now thinking about you staying there, had you decided in the midst of this to try to get out? i mean, you may not have been able to get out those. i mean, those roads are really tough. >> i'm very familiar with the roads. so i had a plan to get out and and i watched where the flames were going. and i knew, um, if it came over my house, um, or if it was going to come over my house, i was going to leave and just let it burn. um, but i was going to take stump road, which leads to mulholland. and

a democratic president, a republican house, democratic t senate.y hadmo trouble finding commn ground in that scenario. but anyway, the outputs are really poor. there is just no way around that as aggregate outputs go so that is will restart. another thing to understand about the current congress is, in this youan see the 118th is not the all-time chip, but it is right up there with the 116th and 1117th. these measures are showing just how prone to omnibus legislation we have become. i saider we are passing fewer bt longer laws. the more even extreme trend is passing really giant laws. especially since covid, these laws have swelled to four digits, thousands of pages they are swallowing of a huge portion of the output of congress. hitching a ride on an omnibus has been a way to get a legislative provision moving. but now is just about the only game in town. you can see it the last three congresses more than 80% of pages of legislation have come in the 10 longest bills. the second graph i have is a little more obscure. some people who follow antitrus

go we, we did all that stuff and then see if you're moving from kind of house to house, i guess just yeah, they might just need to how is it the house because they couldn't find a place to stay? and right now, we're just that my, my dads are off with house. we're staying there for like, as long as we can. but i know i will get this pass, you know, cuz we don't know where to do anymore. we have where the homeless like now know where to go, which is that miles with us right now, and as is bad, right now, we have no money. we can't do any of the stuff is that you are gardner, he's a garden. the only is all his stuff. while he is law, no worries. we'd walk you through everything that he has owned for the past. 45 years been living here. they all bring out to the ground. crazy left was nothing. so like i had a shrug. all his equipment was instruct me. when that happens. um. and this might sound like a really silly question, but what goes through your mind? is it all you um? are you in panic mode or is i almost like a com focus as in what you need to do in those few minutes. you how fast w

um, how is is your house? >> i mean, it's still there, and we can't believe it, but the devastation is just it's just too much to bear. yeah. >> we we we pulled out of our driveway tuesday night. um, we backed out. we backed out around a fire engine that was parked basically in a perpendicular to our drive. uh, they were laying hoses into our into our backyard, into our neighbor's yards. uh, there was a crew in our backyard pointing their their hoses into the canyon as the flames were coming. and when we left that night, we didn't think we'd ever see our house again. and somehow they held it. um, we're forever grateful to those firefighters. they came in, responded within minutes. they they saved most of our neighborhood, um, in the immediate area, but just a few hundred yards in either direction. it's a moonscape. now. >> yeah, yeah. i mean, i saw it myself happen. it was just unbelievable. jennifer and marcus, i really appreciate your time tonight. i wish you both the best. um, we're going to take a short br

after house.ours. let us discuss the material of the house. it's really become emblematic of the future if people will rebuild in fire prone los angeles county, tell us about the construction of the house that you feel kept his deity. >> the house was built to withstand earthquakes and wildfires. it is concrete with a stucco on the outside and a fireproof room columns that go 50 feet down into bedrock, to be totally honest i thought as an earthquake and a wildfire house, you can see it on the water with the winter storms would hit my beach wall it would literally shake the house and i always knew if there was an earthquake it would be the last house standing there. i never envisioned it would be a wildfire that would leave it at the last house standing and when you look at it there you can see both the beauty and the pain on both sides of me. >> insurance were you insured we know a lot of these homes were able to get insurance. this is going back a couple of years because of the threats. >> intere
