We continue to hear directly from the community, as residents impacted by the fires share powerful stories about loss, recovery, and the long road forward after the flames. The show then pivots to major national and local headlines, including how the U.S. was able to penetrate Venezuelan airspace undetected, and breaking legal news as Nick Reiner’s defense attorney, Alan Jackson, steps down from the case.

Windward School junior Mason Cohen, along with childhood friends Jake Yoon and Dylan Fullmer of Harvard-Westlake, launched a fundraising campaign that has already raised more than $300,000.

Their mission is simple and powerful: Rebuild. Restore. Revive. Learn more at BuildBackPali.org.
