Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Utter devastation in Los Angeles as fires continued overnight and were said to be 0% contained. I mean, they've been 0% contained basically since this thing started. We told you how bad the fires were yesterday. Things have only gotten worse.
Now at least five people are dead. More than 25,000 acres have burned and hundreds of thousands are under mandatory evacuation orders. Over a thousand structures have been destroyed. These are people's homes, children's schools. Think about these little kids who have their books and their art projects and their schools completely burned to the ground with nowhere to go now.
They've suffered enough, especially out in LA, where they closed schools forever during COVID. It is hard to describe the destruction. So many devastating videos and images. This one here encapsulates what our fellow Americans are dealing with right now. This is a photo from Altadena, California. And just for the listening audience, it's satellite.
It's a satellite image taken by Maxar Technologies. Before the fires, it looks like a normal city. And then this is the same area in a photo, an image taken yesterday after the entire neighborhood was destroyed. Look at that, just fire, destruction. It's just, you can't help but ask yourself, how could this happen in an American city?
It's not like a tornado that comes through in minutes and no human can do much about it. Fires are a known risk in California. Water supply is a known issue in Los Angeles. None of this is a mystery. The Santa Ana winds come every year and they do bring serious threats of fire and the spreading of it. The level of incompetence to have not been prepared They failed at every level.
The brave men and women of the LAFD, that's a different story. God bless them and the LAPD who are putting their lives on the line, going in there, trying to battle this blaze and to protect people as they evacuate. They're from their homes. Hats off to them and nothing but respect.
But there is only so much they can do when the fire department does not have the water to fight the worst fire in the city's history. Like a fireman is powerless without his hose turning on. You might've heard about this new brand called XXXY Athletics. This is the only athletic brand that is standing up for women's sports.
It was founded by former elite gymnast and longtime Levi's executive, Jennifer Say. She was the first gymnast to speak out about the abuse in women's gymnastics. And she pushed back on lockdowns and closed schools during COVID. And for that, she was canceled by corporate America. The horror of wanting kids to go to school. So she started her own brand.
XXXY Athletics is the only athletic brand that actually knows men cannot become women. And it's not a gimmick. They make world-class products from the softest sweats to moisture-wicking performance wear, including leggings, bike shorts, and workout tees that hold up to the toughest workouts.
