Fox News Outnumbered interrupted for Palisades | TV Shows

News channel Fox News had its 12 o’clock show, Outnumbered, interrupted within its first few minutes due to a essential announcement about the Pacific Palisades Fire that occurred in Los Angeles this past January.

Kayleigh McEnany announced her co-hosts for the Wednesday, Oct. 8, episode at the start of the hour before rapidly cutting to a press convention in Los Angeles.

After a nine-month probe, an arrest has been made in relation to the Palisades Fire in the Los Angeles space, which claimed the lives of 12 people and destroyed hundreds of constructions, including many people’s properties and companies.

“The investigation into the Palisades Fire of January 2025 was lengthy, complex, and, as I mentioned, extremely thorough,” Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said at the news convention on Wednesday.

The suspect, 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, was arrested at his home in Melbourne, Florida, on Tuesday, Oct. 7, officers said during a press convention on Wednesday. He will make an initial look in Orlando on Wednesday.

“While we cannot undo the damage and destruction that was done, we hope his arrest and the charges against him bring some measure of justice to the victims of this horrific tragedy,” U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli added.

According to a felony criticism obtained by Fox News, officers accuse Rinderknecht, also identified as Jonathan Rinder, of beginning the Lachman Fire just after midnight on New Year’s Day, which “maliciously damaged and destroyed, by means of fire, specifically, the fire known as the Lachman Fire and Palisades Fire.”

Officials said on Wednesday that the Lachman Fire was rapidly suppressed, but continued burning underground until winds ignited what grew to become the Palisades Fire.

Rinderknecht was an Uber driver. Two passengers described him as “agitated and angry” the evening he was accused of beginning the fire, according to the criticism.

During the press convention, officers added that he lived in Palisades and was acquainted with the neighborhood in which he’s accused of beginning the fire. He allegedly used an “open flame” to ignite the blaze after a drop off.

Rinderknecht used his iPhone to take videos at the realm identified as the Hidden Buddha clearing and listened to a French rap tune Un Zder, Un The, whose music video reveals a trash can being lit on fire, prosecutors said.

Rinderknecht listened to the tune, which describes despair and bitterness, 9 instances in the 4 days before he allegedly set the fire.

Prosecutors also allege Rinderknecht used ChatGPT to create photographs of a “dystopian painting” of a metropolis burning on one aspect, while “hundreds of thousands of people in poverty are trying to get past a gigantic gate with a big dollar sign on it.”

Five minutes after allegedly setting the fire, prosecutors said Rinderknecht called 911 a number of instances, but didn’t get through because he didn’t have cell service in the realm.

By the time he finally reached 911, a resident had already reported the blaze to authorities.

While talking to 911 dispatchers, Rinderknecht allegedly requested ChatGPT, “Are you at fault if a fire is lift because of your cigarettes,” according to the criticism and press convention.

Rinderknecht then drove away from the fire, passing by fire engines getting into the neighborhood. He later told investigators that he turned around and supplied to help firefighters, according to the criticism.

Earlier this yr, California Attorney General Rob Bonta told GWN there have been “some indications that arson is a possibility that we have to be open to.”

Fifteen members of the Bureau of liquor, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ National Response Team work on the investigation into the fire’s “cause and origins,” ATF deputy assistant director Tim Jones beforehand told GWN.

When Outnumbered returned following the press convention, McEnany called Rinderknecht a “derranged individual,” as her co-hosts weighed in on the tragedy.
