MSNBC host Katy Tur toured her childhood neighborhood in Pacific Palisades, California, in the aftermath of the destructive wildfires in a gut-wrenching segment Thursday.
The five wildfires have spread across areas of Los Angeles, causing at least 5 deaths and over 100,000 home evacuations since the fires began. Tur, who grew up in Pacific Palisades, traveled to her old neighborhood and local downtown area that had almost completely perished after it had been set ablaze by the flames and heavy winds.
“[The town] is completely gone,” Tur said. “I mean, what I’m standing in front of right now I think was a barber shop when I grew up. There was a barber shop, a little jewelry shop, there was a boutique clothing store to the left here. The Chamber of Commerce which held all the historical information about this historic town, this very old town, is completely gone … The elementary school by the way that I went is over 100 years old, stood for over 100 years is now partially demolished. There were pictures of it in that Chamber of Commerce.”
The entire downtown area is currently in shambles and has very few remains, likely leading many of its residents unlikely to return. The inside of a building constructed in 1924, that contained one of the first Starbucks and a Bank of America, had been completely demolished by the fires.

Many of Tur’s previous childhood houses and her peers’ homes have perished in the natural disaster, she said. Not a single one of the houses she or her childhood friends lived in have survived the fires, and the neighborhoods she once knew are now in ashes and unrecognizable, the host said. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
