But back to our breaking news this hour, Los Angeles is under a state of emergency as firefighters race to stop two fast-moving wildfires. I didn’t even know it was that bad. Strong winds in Southern California, they are making the Palisades fire spread at an alarming rate and the concern is that it’s going to get even worse on Wednesday according to fire officials on the ground. Local officials adding that at least 30,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes already and there’s concern that there’ll be need for more evacuations to Los Angeles fire departments.

It’s even asking off-duty members to potentially help push back some of the flames. In the meantime, the Eaton fire roared to life just a few hours ago, quickly burning an area larger than 150 American football fields with fires. That’s crazy. Zero percent containment so far. CNN has a crew. He said the fires are zero percent contained. It has several crews across the region. Zero percent contained so far. That mean it’s just raging, out of control. Nothing and nobody could stop it. All you could do is pray and run. Strong possibility that when you get back home, your house ain’t going to be there no more.

I don’t understand why people love California. Honest to goodness, I have no clue why people are so in love with California. Is it Kendrick Lamar that told y’all to be this way? What is it? I know we got a lot to deal with as far as like the snow here and Saturday United States of America and stuff like that, but we ain’t got to deal with that. We don’t have to deal with that at all. That’s one thing that we never had to worry about is no wildfires. We ain’t got to worry about no mudslides.

We ain’t got to worry about crazy property taxes. It’s wild in California. Jen’s trying to work as safely as possible to bring you the very latest pictures on the ground and the stories of those affected, including from inside the areas torched by the wildfires. CNN’s Natasha Chen and her team captured some of this video leaving their location in Santa Monica, California earlier today. With a lot of experience on board, she says that it was quote, the most terrifying exit that we’ve made from any assignment in a long time. Here’s more of what she saw.

We were there from about noon until about just after 6 p.m. local time when we had finished our last live shot. And I guess what we hadn’t quite surmised was exactly how bad it had gotten south of us on Pacific Coast Highway. And that’s the way we came in to get to our spot to cover the fire. And we knew that we had heard reports. I guess we had not seen with our own eyes just exactly what that meant and what that looks like for us getting out of there. So at the end of the night, you know, we pulled up to a fire truck and kind of waved at a firefighter and said, hey, where do you think is the best way for us to leave to get out of here? He kind of shook his head at us and said, well, I guess you go south.

And so that’s what we did. That’s crazy. Pretty quickly realizing that they just got up and leave your home. They were embers flying over the lanes of the highway. I spotted an emergency vehicle and decided our best bet is to just follow that car to follow right behind him as closely as possible. If he’s driving, then he’s probably knowing the best way out. So as we’re driving behind this emergency vehicle, I’m hearing explosion on my right. There are houses on fire right up against the road on the left. And as I mentioned, embers flying.

And so at this point, Rosemary, I’m just holding my breath. And I can feel the heat from inside the car, just watching the embers fly across the windshield. Somebody said, same reason people don’t like cold ass Michigan. I feel you. I feel you. But see, the difference is I don’t have to worry about my house not being there overnight. I don’t. I don’t have to worry about high property taxes and bad mismanagement of services from our government and elected leaders. I don’t. You can be there today. And then somebody going to do do on your steps because y’all have the highest rate of homelessness in the United States, in the United States of America.

And then also it’s a possibility that right after somebody get done breaking into your house, squatting in it, doodling in it. As soon as you get them out of there from the sheriff three years later, your house going to get burned down. And you’re going to have to pay high property taxes. And all of the insurers are literally leaving California. This is why, remember when we was doing these shows last year and a year before? And I said, listen, man, all of the insurers, they leave in California, all the insurers, they trying to run up out of there.

They trying to force them to say, they said, man, we’re not standing here. This is literally like throwing money out the window, because we know for a fact that y’all about to have one of the worst wildfires ever. They predicted it. I’ll pay attention to what the insurers do in order to understand where I should be investing my money. That’s the first thing that I look at when I’m trying to figure out, hey, man, is that a good real estate market? Should you buy property there? Should you invest for the long term? What are you going to do 10 years from now? First thing I do is I look at how the insurers are moving.

First thing that I do, I look at the insurers. That’s how I know, hey, get up, get up out of Florida. Great place to visit. Go spend your time there. It’s phenomenal in the winter. Some of the best, best weather in the country outside of Hawaii. Invest your money there. Don’t do it. California, even worse, even worse. So not ideal. We get put on a lot of risky assignments. And in this situation, we have to make a calculated risk for the best way to leave. And I think, thankfully, we got out of there.

And we got a real look at just the level of destruction and really the fear that a lot of those residents might be feeling if they’re looking at those images on the news, if they’ve evacuated. I can’t imagine. They’re wondering if their house is the next one on fire. Don’t nobody care if you don’t want to come to Detroit. We ain’t tripping off that. I never invited you. We don’t care. Y’all got our old quarterback. We don’t care. Listen, we don’t want y’all liberals anyway over here in Michigan at all. All y’all do is bring your sassy ways.

We don’t want you and your boyfriend coming here, sir, sir. We don’t want you bringing your, I want to change your laws so that we can give gender affirming care ways here in Michigan. We cool. We good. Cool. That’s the way that we like it. The way that we want it. The way that we like it and the way that we want it. Go back to San Francisco so y’all can fill on each other’s booty. R. Kelly belongs. He don’t even belong in Chicago. He belonging in California. Don’t nobody want your high taxes.

Don’t nobody want your homelessness. You ain’t got nothing to offer anyway. What makes you think that y’all value? We don’t value you. What y’all think that we look at Californians and say, oh man, it would be nice to be Californians. We don’t. We don’t. We don’t want your sassy ways. We know that HIV and AIDS is running rampant because y’all keep trying to figure out whether you want to be a bottom or top. Half of y’all is felons and you got a teardrop on your eye. The only thing halfway decent that you got is Kendrick Lamar.

Property taxes is out of control. You don’t even want to be there. What makes you think that we want you? We don’t want you. We want to, we want to wall off California. We want to wall off California. Keep your governor. Keep Kamala Harris. Keep Arnold Schwarzenegger. Keep everybody. Keep them all. Keep them all. We cool. I went to y’all cities. I drove through. I lived there for a little bit. Just observed to make sure I understand the culture. Every street smell like piss. Every time you walk down any street, you got to basically try to dodge a dookie bomb on the ground.

It’s a dookie bomb on the ground. You’re not talking to a person that just looks at the news. You’re talking to the person that pays and you got wildfires and your houses is burning up and you think that you’re going to rebuild. Y’all so poor in California that the homelessness is so rampant that they are basically allowing for y’all and introducing legislation to allow for y’all to basically build new substandard housing in your own backyards. Y’all so poor that y’all take dookie bombs and put them on the sidewalk. And y’all think just because y’all got decent weather, depending on the time of the year, that that makes you awesome.

You not, you, you poor, poor, you broke, broke. Y’all got squat. Y’all got the most squatters in the United States of America. Oakland is about to file for bankruptcy. The most famous person that y’all rocking with is Kim Kardashian right now. Drake don’t even want to live there no more. Drake sold his property over there and he put his property up for sale in California. He said, skip this. This is trash over here. Y’all, y’all whole state is a POS. It’s a POS. It is, it is ground zero for migrants coming in. Half of y’all don’t even have no identification.

You ain’t got no license. You ain’t got nothing. The only thing you got to know when you go to California is to be able to say a Keto Taco Bell, a Keto Taco Bell. You know how to say a Keto Taco Bell? Taco Del Rio? You good, you good. You can always drive. Well, I mean, y’all got one good thing going for y’all. Y’all can go and drive by Home Depot and get you an undocumented worker so that you can go and fix your house up. Go and get you an undocumented worker so that you can go and fix your house up.

Any Home Depot, any Lowe’s, any Home Depot, any Lowe’s, you can drive by and go and get you a whole fleet of fleet of workers to come and work on your property. That’s what we think about California. That’s what we think about California. Nobody wants to open businesses there. You can go and get you a minimum wage job for like $40 an hour and see how that works for y’all economy. And y’all got an upcoming governor in Kamala Harris. I think that’s going to be awesome for y’all. We have anything to go home to.

Our thanks to Natasha and her team. Joining me now is Ariel Cohen, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service in Los Angeles. Ariel, we are so lucky to have you right now. We know you guys are extremely busy, but if you could just help us and our viewers around the world really understand what this combination of different factors has been that made this fire get so bad in the first place and affect tens of thousands of residents. First of all, I want to say that this is a very heartbreaking situation.

It is incredibly sad to see what society is going through during this exceptionally destructive event. I can’t emphasize it enough. On behalf of the National Weather Service, our hearts go out to everyone who is being impacted by these fires. We’re in the midst of a destructive windstorm right now, a once in a decade or two decade type of wind event with winds now gusting upwards of nearly 100 miles per hour. That sounds crazy. Look at California on fire. And then also across the Santa Monica Mountains extending across parts of the Los Angeles Basin area where we’re having trees coming down, significant structural damage already occurring, and it will only get worse overnight.

And then with the very dry air mass that settled over the area, a very rare, volatile combination of parameters has come together to fuel the explosive development of horrific wildfires across the Los Angeles area, all the way towards the coast, across the Santa Monica Mountains and towards Malibu. This is a particularly dangerous situation, a rare category of red flag warning that we use for the worst of the worst conditions that can come together to create the rapid spread of fires that spot miles in advance and spread rapidly raging paths of destruction.

We’re seeing that come to fruition. And when we’re making these forecasts, when we’re making these messages, you know, these correspond to real world impacts. And it’s so sad to see what’s going on. And we urge everyone to stay at a high state of readiness as we head through the overnight hours into tomorrow. We know, we know, we know, we got it. California is trash. Shout out to y’all. I mean, listen, y’all shouldn’t even trip at me dissing y’all’s state because it’s not even your state. You it’s almost like trying to gang bang over what Jay said.

You’re banging over a property that you, that you don’t even own. Y’all claim in a block that y’all was raised in, but it did nothing for you. Listen, Cali is good for nobody. It’s good for nobody at this point. Honestly, I think that we should just wall off that entire, that entire state and figure it out from there. LeBron going to be leaving soon too. [tr:trw].
