The LA wildfires are now expected to be the most expensive disaster in U.S. history

with over $150 billion in damages estimated.

Police have now allegedly arrested, or I should say they've arrested alleged arsonists,

two of them.

However, the news

stories say that these guys were caught in the act. So it does look like some of these fires were

arson. As for the big ones, we don't know for sure. It is believed that the principal fire,

the Palisades fire may have been embers burning from a New Year's celebration that never got

put out, but we don't know for sure. So as of right now, you've got the, I think it's the Hearst, Eaton, and Palisades fires.

They're still out of control.

The Santa Ana winds are picking up.

The death toll is, I believe, around 25, and 74 people have been arrested.

There are looters.

There are people dressing up like firefighters to go and loot these properties, flying drones over the properties.

It's a massively dark day, my friends.

And then on top of it all, you got this big scandal.

Talked about this at 4 p.m. over on YouTube.com slash Timcast, the Act Blue scandal,

where Democrats are routing charitable donations for wildfire relief through a Democrat pack where they take 4% off the top.

Massive, massive scandal.

I mean, this is just awful stuff.

So we'll talk about that.

And then there's some other news.
