RUSH TRANSCRIPT Advice sheriff ░░░░░░░░ you so much for ░░░░░░░░ back with us again ░░░░░░░░ we will come back ░░░░░░░░ you Fire officials are ░░░░░░░░ that the palisades fire ░░░░░░░░ so far at zero ░░░░░░░░ Thankfully so far there ░░░░░░░░ no reports of any ░░░░░░░░ or deaths though And ░░░░░░░░ as we said earlier ░░░░░░░░ of widespread power outages ░░░░░░░░ internet connectivity issues also ░░░░░░░░ reported Now we want ░░░░░░░░ go to Fox News ░░░░░░░░ Deroy Murdock Deroy are ░░░░░░░░ with us School in ░░░░░░░░ palisades and we ve ░░░░░░░░ showing pictures all night ░░░░░░░░ high school is now ░░░░░░░░ What can you tell ░░░░░░░░ about how you re ░░░░░░░░ right now And you ░░░░░░░░ you had spoken to ░░░░░░░░ of yours also Clear ░░░░░░░░ m not in Pacific ░░░░░░░░ I m here in ░░░░░░░░ headquarters in New York ░░░░░░░░ far far away from ░░░░░░░░ destruction and devastation out ░░░░░░░░ But certainly the emotional ░░░░░░░░ that they re feeling ░░░░░░░░ I m feeling as ░░░░░░░░ looking back at all ░░░░░░░░ fond memories of being ░░░░░░░░ palisades high school class ░░░░░░░░ 1982 and looking back ░░░░░░░░ all the wonderful things ░░░░░░░░ my friends and I ░░░░░░░░ at that time and ░░░░░░░░ these reports that the ░░░░░░░░ is either I don ░░░░░░░░ know if it s ░░░░░░░░ or largely or completely ░░░░░░░░ at this point So ░░░░░░░░ s been a very ░░░░░░░░ evening for me even ░░░░░░░░ a distance And yes ░░░░░░░░ asked if I ve ░░░░░░░░ in touch with some ░░░░░░░░ my old friends and ░░░░░░░░ my old friend Michael ░░░░░░░░ As a matter of ░░░░░░░░ I met him the ░░░░░░░░ first day of junior ░░░░░░░░ school I ve known ░░░░░░░░ since the first day ░░░░░░░░ seventh grade back in ░░░░░░░░ We go back 48 ░░░░░░░░ now and he emailed ░░░░░░░░ about the situation out ░░░░░░░░ He said we ve ░░░░░░░░ all of this devastation ░░░░░░░░ the strong winds don ░░░░░░░░ start until 10 P ░░░░░░░░ Local time about an ░░░░░░░░ and a half ago ░░░░░░░░ in fact the weather ░░░░░░░░ is gusts are going ░░░░░░░░ be kicking up to ░░░░░░░░ 63mph And of course ░░░░░░░░ more wind you have ░░░░░░░░ more these fires get ░░░░░░░░ the more destruction you ░░░░░░░░ got And he also ░░░░░░░░ too windy for aircraft ░░░░░░░░ drop water and firemen ░░░░░░░░ t fight it with ░░░░░░░░ as it is futile ░░░░░░░░ these flames are just ░░░░░░░░ on with very little ░░░░░░░░ stop them even more ░░░░░░░░ to propel them And ░░░░░░░░ we heard earlier very ░░░░░░░░ water pressure And when ░░░░░░░░ ve got a fire ░░░░░░░░ big and the flames ░░░░░░░░ such a huge area ░░░░░░░░ if the firefighters are ░░░░░░░░ there with with the ░░░░░░░░ hoses you know it ░░░░░░░░ a bit like trying ░░░░░░░░ fight a you know ░░░░░░░░ a great white shark ░░░░░░░░ a shrimp fork You ░░░░░░░░ you re not going ░░░░░░░░ get very far So ░░░░░░░░ really what we need ░░░░░░░░ have here is for ░░░░░░░░ winds to die down ░░░░░░░░ and hopefully get some ░░░░░░░░ to get this under ░░░░░░░░ Right now this is ░░░░░░░░ contained Unfortunately I mean ░░░░░░░░ to 80mph are expected ░░░░░░░░ some places are just ░░░░░░░░ these embers I mean ░░░░░░░░ re just being spread ░░░░░░░░ and wide We re ░░░░░░░░ hearing there s a ░░░░░░░░ fire in sylmar California ░░░░░░░░ in place there for ░░░░░░░░ in that area So ░░░░░░░░ know you ve got ░░░░░░░░ who are just suddenly ░░░░░░░░ the news that they ░░░░░░░░ got to get out ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ you ve spoken to ░░░░░░░░ of your your friends ░░░░░░░░ might be here and ░░░░░░░░ be going through that ░░░░░░░░ it s a very ░░░░░░░░ situation Friends who live ░░░░░░░░ the palisades I ve ░░░░░░░░ them to see where ░░░░░░░░ are if they ve ░░░░░░░░ what their situation is ░░░░░░░░ ve not heard back ░░░░░░░░ them so I m ░░░░░░░░ that they re okay ░░░░░░░░ hoping I hear hear ░░░░░░░░ news from them that ░░░░░░░░ s positive news at ░░░░░░░░ that they re safe ░░░░░░░░ as you say this ░░░░░░░░ off this evening with ░░░░░░░░ fire in the palisades ░░░░░░░░ altadena and pasadena now ░░░░░░░░ in sylmar You mentioned ░░░░░░░░ embers carrying the devastation ░░░░░░░░ the way across Pacific ░░░░░░░░ highway You know all ░░░░░░░░ way onto will Rogers ░░░░░░░░ You think if you ░░░░░░░░ on the beach everything ░░░░░░░░ be okay Apparently some ░░░░░░░░ the lifeguard stations were ░░░░░░░░ by embers caught fire ░░░░░░░░ burned Imagine you re ░░░░░░░░ feet away from from ░░░░░░░░ Pacific Ocean and you ░░░░░░░░ have fires bringing down ░░░░░░░░ towers even right there ░░░░░░░░ Just feet away from ░░░░░░░░ surf Really Quite And ░░░░░░░░ s a surreal situation ░░░░░░░░ because I think a ░░░░░░░░ of folks like I ░░░░░░░░ you know 15 miles ░░░░░░░░ the nearest evacuation line ░░░░░░░░ now And you know ░░░░░░░░ keep talking about how ░░░░░░░░ that s you know ░░░░░░░░ s far away But ░░░░░░░░ you re talking about ░░░░░░░░ high winds like this ░░░░░░░░ these embers I mean ░░░░░░░░ can literally go anywhere ░░░░░░░░ anywhere From the palisades ░░░░░░░░ believe the evacuation has ░░░░░░░░ into Santa monica into ░░░░░░░░ and of course altadena ░░░░░░░░ to pasadena And if ░░░░░░░░ winds continue throughout the ░░░░░░░░ and even into tomorrow ░░░░░░░░ know this could be ░░░░░░░░ in as you say ░░░░░░░░ almost any any direction ░░░░░░░░ these winds are going ░░░░░░░░ 60 70 80mph You ░░░░░░░░ imagine just a hurricane ░░░░░░░░ without the without the ░░░░░░░░ of I guess negative ░░░░░░░░ far as fire goes ░░░░░░░░ of having rain and ░░░░░░░░ These are super super ░░░░░░░░ with you know 5 ░░░░░░░░ or something like that ░░░░░░░░ dry winds kicking up ░░░░░░░░ fires and just getting ░░░░░░░░ going apparently at the ░░░░░░░░ the at the speed ░░░░░░░░ something like four football ░░░░░░░░ per minute I mean ░░░░░░░░ try to visualize that ░░░░░░░░ it is really really ░░░░░░░░ situation going on right ░░░░░░░░ Deroy Murdock thank you ░░░░░░░░ much for joining us ░░░░░░░░ And we will come ░░░░░░░░ to you Right now ░░░░░░░░ want to go ahead ░░░░░░░░ go back to our ░░░░░░░░
