Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning show with Michael dil Choono.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
President Biden announced a one time payment of seven hundred
and seventy dollars to each resident who applies and has
been impacted by the LA fires and the Santa Ana
wins that are whipping through southern California. Again, what does
that mean for firefighters and the possibility of more fires,
let alone containment of the existing fires For that more,
here's Roy O'Neil, our national correspondent.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Good morning, Rory, Hey there, Michael, good morning. All right.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Wins were not favorable yesterday and they don't look any
better today.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
No, But if they can get through today without having
these wildfires really explode again, I think that will be
considered a successful day. The higher Santa Ana wins should
extend through about lunchtime tomorrow than things sort of normalize.
Comparing this batch of Santa Ana wins to last week,
they're about half of what they were three quarters, as
(00:55):
you said, forty to fifty sixty miles per hour. They
were at one hundred miles per hour last week. Those
are also it's going to be it'll be in pockets.
It's not expected to cover the whole County like we
saw last week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
So here are the numbers if it were a scoreboard
in the Palisades fire twenty three thy seven hundred and
thirteen acres at fourteen percent containment, the Eaton fire fourteen
and seventeen acres at thirty three percent containment, the Hurst
fire seven hundred and ninety nine acres and at ninety
seven percent containment. And then we had the Auto fire
(01:28):
and Inventura fifty six acres and zero containment. So they
need the winds and they needed to get containment. These
containment numbers up, so they need the winds to calm down,
and that's more likely tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It did.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Oh go ahead now because with the winds then you're
less able to operate all those aircraft which have been
so successful and helping them to contain these, so helicopters
and the airplanes struggled to fly in those wings.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's close to the ground.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yesterday seemed to be more about as the fire raged
on the citizen rate and the narrative rage towards inept leadership,
and a lot of that was pointed towards the governor.
A lot of that was pointed towards the mayor of
which the La Times publisher actually regrets the endorsement of
(02:15):
her for mayor. That's kind of the story beyond the
fire that I think is going to keep simmering for
quite some time.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think most Americans could name
Mayor Bass's predecessor.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I think that's much more of a local kind of
an angle for them. And I don't know how much
mayors are involved in firefighting. You know, well, when you
cut the budget seventeen million dollars, you're very involved.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Out of nine hundred and three million.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
But yeah, I mean I get it, it's it's all
looks bad and the fact that she was out of
the country and all that, I mean, I completely understand,
But I don't know how often mayors often get involved
in deploying fire resources and how much of this falls
on the fire chief versus the.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Main well and then the fire chief wild tell you
the budget cuts reservoirs that were empty. Yeah, that that's
kind of the you know, the show that's going on
that isn't that is playing out far differently at a
national level. And then seven hundred and seventy dollars for
those that have been impacted. That's not going to seem
like a fair trade compared to what their outrage is.
(03:21):
So that continues.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's okay, No, I'm just saying, I'm just I'm trying
to give the feel of what's just that's just here's
money so that you can buy dinner tonight and have
a couple of nights in a hotel. That's not your
your reimbursement for your loss. Well, no, I know that,
but that's how it's being perceived. And so it's it's
a it's a narrative issue as well as a serious
fire issue. Is what's kind of brewed? Anything else yesterday
(03:44):
that was worthy of note? I mean, I guess the
possibility of for the first time we're talking about the
origins and it may involve California edison, that would probably
be the biggest.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Perhaps you know we heard over the weekend that they
created a task force to look at the cause.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
The a is leading that investigation.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
The power lines that we saw some investigators around some
of the high tension power lines yesterday. The utility says, no,
don't blame us, but we've heard everything from the homeless
people did it? It was a part of a New
Year's Eve celebration to arsonist throughout there. And by the way,
every one of those answers may also.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Be accurate, because it's not going to be more than
one exactly. You know. The area we also got.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You know, America is preparing for a presidency, and we've
we got more details of some of the events from
the inaugural Committee, including the Trump National Golf Club and
Virginia's going to host a reception and fireworks display that'll
be followed Sunday by a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington
National Cemetery. Then you have the traditional Inauguration Day tea
at the White House. We got the rally that the
(04:48):
President is going to be doing at the Capitol One Arena.
Then you have the inauguration itself, the announcement of Carrie
Underwood seeing God bless America, the village people. We even
we even't got the garbage truck that's going to be
in the inaugural parade. It's going to be quite quite
the event in our nation's capital next week.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yep, the events start, I guess this weekend. The big
show though, of course noon on Monday. Yeah, that'd be
newon Eastern eleventh Central.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I don't know about you, but I mean there is
the actual swearing in ceremony that I think is probably
the most you know, memorable and theatrical. I always love
that it's different when it's going to be a new
president rather than the returning of a president. But there's
just something about that morning tea where the incoming president
(05:36):
is greeted at the White House by the sitting president.
Then they come out and they leave together. I still
think that's one of the great traditions. What's one of
your favorite moments. I hadn't thought, I'm sorry, I've got
another ring.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, no, I mean all of it is great to
see that peaceful transition. I gotta run, go run, all right,
twelve minutes after the hour. I think we're probably one
of the few people that would go out of his
way to try to defend Mayor Karen Bath.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.
