Summary
Palisades Fire Aftermath and In-N-Out Expansion
Jeff Bliss discusses the aftermath of the Palisades fire, noting that Adam Carolla, who lost his home, believes rebuilding is stalled by political forces seeking subsidized housing or natural restoration. An arrest was made in Florida for Jonathan Flendernik in connection with the fire. Video evidence suggests the LA Fire Department failed to fully extinguish the initial fire, which spread through root systems. In business news, the family-owned In-N-Out chain, known for high profits and employee treatment, is expanding with five new stores. The Boring Company's Prufrock tunneling machine is operating in Las Vegas.

| 0:12.0 | This is CBSI on the world. I'm John Bachelor. Jeff Bliss is Pacific Watch. Adam Carolla is a superstar, residents, Pacific Palisades. Until, Jeff, a very good |
| 0:24.3 | evening to you. There's a video available widely of Adam Corolla talking right to the camera, and behind him |
| 0:30.5 | is a long stretch of sand with what appear to be former buildings on the sand. I presume that's the burned down part of Malibu and Pacific Palisades. |
| 0:40.7 | He's a resident of Pacific Palisades. |
| 0:43.8 | He's reviewing what he said eight hours after the fire January of 2025. |

| 1:12.5 | Fire. |
| 1:13.4 | And he said from, you know, within a day or two, he was saying, it's never going to get |

| 1:43.1 | a multi-story transit hub. |
| 1:45.5 | They want to plant at the foot of Pacific Palisades. This is an area that it's not pristine |
| 1:49.8 | coastline, but it's beautiful, it's very nice, and it will attract so much traffic because of buses |
