| 0:54.9 | with the circle, but he represents a lot of the things that I'm interested in, not just journalism |
| 1:00.3 | that he does for MS now, formerly MSNBC, the book he's written about the destruction of his |
| 1:06.7 | childhood home and how he ties it to climate change. You guys know I'm interested in climate change |
| 1:10.7 | and the very important work you're doing fact gathering in what is the border |
| 1:15.0 | war where you have more information than most. And it's information that's a bit personal |
| 1:19.9 | to me because I don't understand what's happening in America. I don't understand what's |

| 2:05.6 | And I think it's so cool what you're doing. |
| 2:06.8 | And I love that you're interested in all of this stuff. But I do think that the story of the fires, as much as it is, a story about climate change and about the politics of the moment and really awful, awful stuff that took place in LA a year ago. |
| 2:20.6 | It's a story about people and it's a story about hope and it's a story about optimism. |
| 2:23.8 | So it won't all be depressing. |
| 2:25.5 | So people should stay tuned to the end of our conversation. |
