“One Year After the L.A. Fires: Hope, Blame and Debt”

Season 2025 Episode 8074 | 18m 25s

One year ago a series of deadly fires tore through Southern California. The fires left nearly 80 square miles in ashes, forced tens of thousands to flee their homes and claimed the lives of at least 31 people. Shawn Hubler is the Los Angeles Bureau Chief for The New York Times. She joins the show to take stock of the progress so far.
