On Monday, Jimmy Kimmel delivered an emotional monologue about the Los Angeles fires while criticizing President-elect Donald Trump for his "disgusting" response to the disaster.

Since the fires broke out, a teary-eyed Kimmel, who broadcasts from Los Angeles, has returned to the airwaves and discussed the impact of the fires on the city and his show. He stated, "It has been a very scary, very stressful, and very strange week here in L.A. - where we work, where we live, and where our kids go to school. We are now back in our studio, which we had to evacuate on Wednesday."

Kimmel highlighted the unity that has emerged from the disaster, stating that it has been a "beautiful experience" to see people coming together to support each other. Despite the devastation caused by the fires, those who lost their homes were out volunteering and helping others who had also lost their homes.

Kimmel used the chance to criticize Trump's reaction to the fires, saying, "I don't want to discuss the disgusting and reckless statements made by Trump and his advisors during our most challenging time."

Kimmel says, "Although it's disgusting that they attacked our firefighters, who apparently aren't White enough to be out there risking their lives on our behalf, I want to focus on thanking those men and women."

The host praised the firefighters who were the first on the scene, putting out the fires without hesitation. He thanked the firefighters and emergency workers from around the world for their contributions.
