And I think that people will understand what it's like to go there, to be there and why we need to reckon with this when they read Firestorm.
don't take it from me take it from gavin newsom who said to me last friday two fridays ago when i was with him take it from studies from places like ucla anderson school of business who have been talking about this there i think of something like 40 of the construction industry in california if i have this right could be undocumented and in los angeles where is the central targeting of people engaged
in the central targeting of people that are in the crosshairs of the administration.
Home Depot parking lots, Don, not looking for the worst of the worst criminals.
It's people looking to get an honest day's work on construction projects or in people's homes.
And part of that is the rebuilding effort.
And so there has been a chilling effect.
I talked to Pablo Alvarado from the National Day Labor Organizing Network.
You'll meet him in the book.
He says that after Sandy, day laborers showed up.
After Katrina, day laborers showed up.
And after the great Los Angeles fires in the Palisades and Altadena both, it's the day laborers who wanted to lend a hand and it's them who are now being targeted by this administration.
You know better than anybody, Don, what it's like to cover a fire and be out there and how hard it is to get, and not just fires, but any natural disaster, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, whatever.
You've covered your fair share, many more than I have.
You know how hard it is to get information to people during those events and to make sure we understand what's happening.
Often we're hunkered down and waiting for, literally for the smoke to clear or for the rain to stop.
um and in the real time minute by minute which is what this account is in firestorm of this fire you had donald trump and elon musk donald trump wasn't even the president united states he was the president-elect of the united states saying that there was some mystical tap that could be open to the pacific northwest to dump you know get gallons of water on the fires in la in order to stop them and that it was gavin newsom and karen bass's fault and their fault alone well obviously
That was not true.
I laugh.
It's not funny, but it's it's so absurd.
