00:00To Travis Barker and his time spent with some of the heroes here, and we're here in L.A.
00:07Obviously, we've been talking a lot about the firefighters and their continued efforts.
00:11There are, in fact, I just got an alert 30 seconds ago about another fire that has sprung
00:16up here.
00:17And so they're still very busy.
00:19Some of the people who are out there fighting those fires are inmates, California inmates,
00:24California state prison inmates.
00:25They were vital in this.
00:26And they were very vital.
00:28And that's why Travis Barker was out at the staging center at the Rose Bowl and made a
00:32point of spending some time with those particular firefighters.
00:36Yeah, this is really great, in my opinion.
00:40In most cases, these are nonviolent and young offenders who are wanting to make a difference
00:47and make a change in their lives.
00:48And they've got an opportunity here to really help the people of California.
00:52And they've done so.
00:53They've been on that front line for almost no money.
00:56We're talking like a dollar an hour, just fighting these fires, courageously risking
01:00their lives.
01:01And I thought it was really cool that Travis went out there and showed his appreciation.
01:05I know a lot of people in Los Angeles especially are very appreciative that they've risked
01:09their lives to try and help us.
01:11This is Jessica from Vegas.
01:13And I think that this is great publicity for Travis.
01:17This is not a lot of people knew what the A.R.C. was and we included.
01:21So this is very informative, great publicity.
01:24I can see him collabing with his sister-in-law, Kim Kardashian, on prison reform things.
01:30Well, it's not just publicity, it's just a good thing.
01:33It's just a good thing that needs to be done.
