Now it's time for the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell. Good evening, Lawrence.

Good evening, Alex. And thank you. I have been following, started following the Los Angeles

fire earlier today. I was just in the actual fire zone last week. I have friends, loved ones,

family members there today in the evacuation zone, pulling things out of their homes some of them didn't have

time some of them had to just run basically didn't have time to decide what's the

most important thing in their house we're gonna be covering it during this hour

a local of a re Bob Gold Goldwyn who is a former Los Angeles fire department official, just said on the local

coverage that I've been following that this is an event of a historical nature.

I've heard people refer to it today, understandably, as the Palisades fire, because

it's happening in the Pacific Palisades, which is a neighborhood of Los Angeles. Pacific

Palisades is the city of Los Angeles. And it is a vast geographical neighborhood. It is adjacent to

Santa Monica. The flames have been bearing down on the border of Santa Monica and could move,

they could move right across Los Angeles. This is one, Alex,

that we really haven't seen anything like in the memory of most people who've been fighting

this fire today. Yeah, we hear about fires in California a lot, but this is really truly a

different order of magnitude. And I'm thinking about you, my friend, because I know you have a lot of roots in California.

So we're following it closely and sending our thoughts.

Thanks, Zach. Thank you.

Have a good show.

Thank you.

The situation in California was actually predicted today just because the winds are so strong.

The winds are like a windstorm that they have not seen in many decades there.
