Jon Kahn's Takes MAGA Hats, Guitars After Devastating Fire Ravages His Home

Singer and songwriter Jon Kahn, the man behind Baste Records' #1 hit song "Fighter," a tribute to President-elect Donald Trump, said his family lost his California home in the Palisades fire that has ravaged the state this week.

Kahn, a Pacific Palisades native, revealed the news while speaking with Fox & Friends' Ainsley Earhardt on Thursday.



"I’m so sorry for your loss,” Earhardt said as images of the fire's devastation were shown. “It’s devastating to see what it was before and what it is now. I know that your mom lost her house, your brother lives a mile down the road from you, and he lost his house. How are you doing and what do you do next?”

Kahn said he had just learned that his brother's house had in fact survived the fire.

“The entire opposite side of the street from where he lived burned, and his house was spared," Kahn said, adding he wasn't sure about his mother's house. 

The singer went on to say he was leaning on his faith in the aftermath.

“There is nothing you can do about it," Kahn said. "I’ve been leaning into faith these days, and I think I’m going to rely on that and lean on the support of all the love from all my friends, family, and even people I don’t know that have reached out."

"It’s been incredibly moving, the outpouring," he added.



Among the posessions Kahn took from his house while evacuating included his dog, several guitars, and a collection of MAGA hats.

“My dog was number one,” Kahn explained. “But a lot of people who do know me on social media were reaching out and asking if I was okay and safe, and I wrote a song called ‘Fighter’ recently for President Trump, and it was such a big part of my life the last few months that I wanted to let the people know on social media that know me from that song that I’m going to keep writing music."



"I’m going to get up just like the song says. And I’ve a lot of work to do personally, but we still have a lot of work to do as a country as well," he said.
