'New age of disaster': Jacob Soboroff reflects on LA's deadly fires - Velshi - MS NOW
One year after the Palisades fires burned nearly 24,000 acres, MS NOW Senior Political & National Reporter Jacob Soboroff reflects on reporting while his own neighborhood went up in flames.
In his new book, “Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America’s New Age of Disaster,” Soboroff explores what the disaster teaches us about preventing future crises. He tells Ali Velshi he wrote the book to understand how it happened and whether it could happen again. “I think that you will see when you read this book, that it is very clear that it’s going to.” - Aired on 01/10/2026.
