Today on AirTalk, as officials begin clearing debris in the wake of the L.A. wildfires, we'll get details about the cleanup process. The newly inaugurated U.S. president, Donald Trump, has made his intent to get rid of birthright citizenship very clear with a day-one executive order. What does it say and how might it affect us here in L.A.? For this week's SoCal History lesson, we are looking into Altadena and the Pacific Palisades as an ode to these culturally rich communities that were affected by L.A. wildfires. We have survivors of the 2017, Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa to tell us about their experience rebuilding a community and offer advice for displaced residents.

Larry Mantle has been a radio host in Los Angeles for nearly 40 years. Over the course of hosting his live, daily, public affairs call-in show on LAist 89.3, he’s covered the region’s biggest triumphs and tragedies, hearing from officials and Angelenos alike. Covering the Palisades, Eaton, and other current LA wildfires has been especially trying. “I have never seen in such a short period of time this kind of devastation,” said Mantle. Imperfect Paradise host Antonia Cereijdio and AirTalk’s Larry Mantle take us inside the first five days of the wildfires and how Mantle is helping Angelenos process the devastation throughout Southern California on his show.

Today on AirTalk, we're talking about the fire's possible long term effects on housing in L.A. Many beloved restaurants burnt down in the fires, and the ones that are still standing are doing their part to continue serving their community. We're talking about the special place that these restaurants have in our hearts and where you can get free meals if you have been affected by the fires. In the wake of all the devastation, we want to hear from our listeners about why they love L.A. and what makes the city unlike any other.
