I wrote this on my Instagram. The 20 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.000 first question I asked when I heard I was getting 21 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.799 a show was will it be on in New York City? 22 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.799 And the answer was no. And that was that was 23 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.920 two years ago, and I've been asking, I've literally been 24 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.239 begging ever since, and finally they said, okay, I think 25 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.799 we think you're ready. And so this weekend, the same 26 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.359 show that you hear in LA will be on in 27 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:27.000 New York City. 28 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.319 Now, I've been doing a handle on the Law since 29 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.159 nineteen eighty five. It's on two hundred and sixty stations 30 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.040 give or take, you know what. 31 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.560 You know what city. It's not in New York. Yeah, yeah, 32 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.519 well I'm. 33 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.040 Telling you you know New York here too, Bill Miracle, 34 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.799 I've been producing the Jesus Show that has been on 35 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.879 for over two decades and it's national. 36 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.760 I don't think we're on in New York. Yeah. 37 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.200 It's it's not easy to do it really is. It's 38 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.000 it's it's a big, big deal. So congratulations and. 39 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:01.480 Very well done. 40 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.760 Yeah, thank you. This is this was a big part 41 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.920 of it, Bill, doing this with you. You know, I 42 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.199 learn from the best, and you know this is this 43 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.159 helped this. You know, people want good tech information and 44 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:13.879 you know, hopefully we can give it to all. 45 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.400 Yeah, you don't have to suck it up. Okay, that's fine. 46 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:18.800 Uh what was it? 47 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.159 It's Premier Radio, right, are they syndicating you? 48 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:22.479 Yes? 49 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.479 Yeah, the radio the same. 50 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.080 Syndication company that I work with, and uh, you know, 51 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.439 as powerful as they are, and they're the biggest syndication 52 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.840 company in the world. Getting into New York is almost impossible, 53 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.319 So good for you. All right, let's move right into 54 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.360 who just went was that you? 55 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.840 Okay, no, all right, I don't know who that was. 56 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:51.199 Let's talk about iPhones unlocking locked cabinets at stores like CBS. 57 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.599 Going to CVS and trying to get a bottle of 58 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.759 shampoo that's in a locked case and you have to 59 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.680 call the clerk over done lock it is. It's like 60 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.199 beyond horrible. And there's now technology this sort of bypasses that. 61 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.039 Yeah, this is pretty common in the LA area I know, 62 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.840 and mohere I live, they have locked up everything, uh 63 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.520 slowly but surely. And so yes, like you said, you 64 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.800 got to go into these aisles. It makes you almost 65 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.120 not want to shop there because you got to call 66 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.080 someone and wait for someone to come over and unlock 67 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.840 the case. And in the case of a Walmart that 68 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.400 I went to, not only do they unlock the case 69 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.120 and give you the product, but then they lock it 70 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.400 up in a secondary case. So you bring it to 71 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.159 the kech here in a lock. 72 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.719 Box, I know, you get a yeah, a razor blade 73 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.400 and it comes into a box that you can shoe 74 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.879 box size box. 75 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.719 Yes, crazy, Yeah, So what does this do? 76 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:48.000 So? 77 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.800 What does this does? How does it undo that? 78 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.240 So CBS is trying to use technology to help shoppers. 79 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.960 So the idea is that you have the CVS app 80 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.960 installed on your phone. You're logged in, and when you 81 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.159 go to one of these shelves, you can use the 82 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.199 app on your phone to unlock the box and so 83 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.159 that you can you know, pull out your deodorant or 84 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.639 whatever you need, the shampoo bottle and then it locks 85 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.719 back up and so you don't have to call someone over. 86 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.840 You can do it from your phone. And the idea 87 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.639 is to make this easier, but also they know who 88 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.959 you are. It's not going to be for everyone. You're 89 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.639 logged into the app. It gets people to download the app, 90 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.399 It eases some of the frustration. Right now, they're testing 91 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.480 this at just a handful of stores, but they're expecting 92 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.279 or hoping to expand it to more stores before rolling 93 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.000 it out to every store. If it works, I mean, 94 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.519 the idea is that you know, hopefully this still cuts 95 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.040 down on thefts, but it makes it easier for people 96 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:42.600 to shop there. 97 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.240 Yeah, But the whole point of course is security, which 98 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:50.120 you've just undone some security. And so what you're saying 99 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.360 is that the safeguards that they know who you are, 100 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.720 they know what time it's being done, they can timestamp 101 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.639 at all of that is enough to charity whether you 102 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.759 can unlock those ridiculous cabinets. 103 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:03.720 Is that the philosophy. 104 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.079 Yeah, I mean it sounds like a good idea because 105 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.000 you know, if it works for the consumer. I mean, 106 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.480 to me, like, I've stopped going as a stores that 107 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.199 I know, or I've stopped buying things that those stores 108 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.800 that I know are locked up. So if I knew that, oh, 109 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.000 I can walk into the CBS. I've got the app 110 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.160 on my phone. Yeah, it's a little headache to log 111 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.040 in and sign up and all that stuff. But at 112 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.560 the same time, if I can do that, I know 113 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.639 I can go into that store, it might actually be 114 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.639 a better process because I know I can walk straight 115 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.360 to that aisle, grab what I need, unlock the case, 116 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.240 grab what I need, and get out of there without 117 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.639 waiting for someone. So it might actually be a good 118 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.399 thing for sales. But balancing the idea that people just 119 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:43.839 apparently steal everything they can get their hands on at 120 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:44.319 these stores. 121 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.879 Yeah, and waiting for someone in this day and age, 122 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.800 when they keep a skeleton staff no matter what, and 123 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.199 you're waiting for a clerk who the last thing the 124 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.199 clerk wants to do is come over there and open 125 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.000 the case and then relock it. Or you're looking at it. 126 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:00.600 I don't think so put it. 127 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.279 Back in, right. 128 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.360 You feel guilty now once they bring it over, like 129 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.759 once they open the case. You know, if you're buying 130 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.519 like shampoo or deodorant, whatever it is. You know, people 131 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.480 like to linger, they like to look at the labels, 132 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.959 they like to smell it. But you can't do any 133 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.519 of that when the person comes over. It's like this 134 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.680 pressure of like, okay, let me just choose. Well, just 135 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.519 take that one and you run out of there, you know, all. 136 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.240 Right, Rich were don't talk about the super Bowl? And 137 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.439 uh yeah, I don't want to. Okay, it's here's what's 138 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.519 gonna happen. We when I watch the Super Bowl and 139 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.319 the Chiefs are probably gonna win, and or they're not 140 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:30.759 going to win. 141 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.600 Okay, we're done now. 142 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.720 The reason I am switching gears is during the break, 143 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.879 Neil was talking about a segment that you were talking 144 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.959 about on your show this past weekend about this new trailer, 145 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.040 an electric trailer, and he got so excited about well, 146 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.839 he's been so excited about he wanted to talk about it, 147 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.240 and I go, okay, so what's tell me about it? 148 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.000 Because this is new stuff, isn't it. 149 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.720 Yeah, it's really really cool. So this got a lot 150 00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.519 of publicity. A couple of years ago they came out 151 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.560 with the video that showed off some of the But 152 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.079 now I actually went up to Fremont, California, up near 153 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.839 San Francisco to actually try this thing out. So it's 154 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.680 called the Pebble Flow and it's a it's a high 155 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.920 tech RV, so it's it's been reinvented from the ground up. 156 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.560 It's all electric. A lot of guys from Tesla and 157 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.360 SpaceX and Rivian and NASA, those are the people that 158 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.920 are building this thing. And basically the guy who started 159 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.079 it told me like, hey, you know, I really during 160 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.040 the pandemic, I really wanted to start rving, but it 161 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.480 was a pain to back this thing up, all the 162 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.160 considerations you had to have, and he said, so there 163 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.079 has to be a better way to get r ving 164 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.959 to a new generation of people like myself that are 165 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.879 smartphone centric and so I think the neatest feature, besides 166 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.759 all the you know, the fact that this thing looks 167 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.800 really nice, the neatest feature Bill is that you take 168 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.360 an iPad. This thing is in your driveway or on 169 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.920 the street, and you use the iPad to drive it around, 170 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.199 like to a parking spot. So it's not like driving 171 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.839 per se. But it's moving, so you can spin it around. 172 00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:57.839 Three hundred and sixty two. 173 00:07:57.959 --> 00:07:59.680 Well it moves on it and I'm looking at it is, 174 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.360 but does it moves on its own? 175 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.800 Yes, it moves on its own. It's wild. You you 176 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.839 literally control it with an iPad app. And so when 177 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.879 I first they said here, take the controller. They didn't 178 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.800 tell me how to do it. They just said try it. 179 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.920 And so I'd start putting my hands on the iPad. 180 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.959 And when you start seeing this thing move, this giant 181 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.279 you know, six thousand pounds RV, your brain thinks, oh, 182 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.759 this thing's just gonna roll down the street, right because 183 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.199 you've never seen it unhitched moving. And sure enough you stop, 184 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.319 you take your hand off the iPad, it stops moving. 185 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.279 You rotate it around, it stops moving. I mean, it's 186 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.480 such a cool feature that that alone is enough to 187 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.360 make a lot of people. You know, Okay, I can 188 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.159 move over this thing into my parking lot now or 189 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.639 my campsite, but it keeps going. So you've got this 190 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.600 magic hitch feature, which means you put the thing near 191 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.799 your car, the hitch on the back of your car, 192 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.240 and it will find the hitch and hitch itself, just 193 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.039 like you know the guy who worked on the Space station. 194 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.720 That's who worked on this seriously. And then it's got 195 00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.039 this other feature where it automatically levels itself out and 196 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.000 it gets to your campsites. You don't have to figure 197 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.840 out how to make it level. You just tap a 198 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.519 button and it will figure out the ground, where to 199 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.519 put the things up and down whatever you need to do. 200 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.840 Really cool and by the way, all electrics, so you 201 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.679 can use it as a ADU if you want in 202 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.320 your driveway, I mean obviously check your local regional laws 203 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.919 or whatever. You could use it as a mobile office. 204 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.320 You can use it to charge your EV because it's 205 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.159 got a big battery and solar on the top. Price 206 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.559 tag over one hundred thousand dollars for this pebble flow. 207 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.399 It's beautiful and I'm looking at a video of it, 208 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.919 and now do you need a super car to. 209 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.720 Tow it, or can you do it with an SUV 210 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.840 for example, Yeah, you should be able to. 211 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.679 And that's the other feature that it has built into 212 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.039 It actually has its own electric motor in it, so 213 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.240 we try driving it with the motor on and off. 214 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.840 So when you have the motor on, it actually helps 215 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.159 propel your car forward. So it's using the idea that 216 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.240 a lot of people might be using EV's, Like the 217 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.360 kind of people that might buy this might also have 218 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.639 an EV, so you know, if you're trailing something behind 219 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.919 your EV, you're gonna use a ton of energy. So 220 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.840 this actually will propel itself to save the energy from 221 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:15.679 your car. They say, I think they said you get 222 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.600 about double the mileage that you would typically get if 223 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.919 you weren't if you weren't propelling. 224 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.080 And are they selling? You know, what sizes do they 225 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.159 come in? That's the first question. 226 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.639 So it's one size right now, and it's you know, 227 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.759 they put a lot of thoughtful features into it. It's 228 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.559 got a nice big kitchen. It's got a sleeping area, 229 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.120 another sleeping area kind of a pull out bed like 230 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.519 a murphy bed that turns into an office area. You've 231 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.240 got you know, like I said, a ton of storage. 232 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.879 Oh the other thing that's cool are the glass. The 233 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.799 glass on this thing has an electrostatic feature so that 234 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.639 you tap a button on it and the glass goes frosted, 235 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.879 and then you tap the button again and the glass 236 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.000 goes clear. So in the bathroom it's got that and 237 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.679 also on the other windows. So one size right now. 238 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.960 They're hoping, you know, in the future to make different sizes. 239 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.399 But this thing is a startup, you know, they got 240 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.279 to get off the ground. They've got to get people 241 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.720 interested in actually purchasing this thing and proving that they can, 242 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.679 you know, make this thing better over times. 243 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.200 Absolutely gorgeous. Yeah, I can see why Neel that all 244 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:15.000 excited about that. 245 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.120 Would I buy one a you know, i'd rent one first, 246 00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.399 but they're probably not for rent. All right, really quickly, 247 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.919 let's talk about the Super Bowl coming up and how 248 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.200 you can watch it in four K this year for free. 249 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.159 First question is why, I mean, is there a big difference? 250 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.720 And two how do you watch it for free? Because 251 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.639 I assume it's going to cost you money otherwise. 252 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.320 Yeah, yeah, I mean you could watch it, you know, 253 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.440 obviously over the air, but this is the first time 254 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.919 they're going to be streaming it in four K for free, 255 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.279 you got to get the two B app t U 256 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:53.039 b I. This is Fox's free, free ad supported streaming service. 257 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.519 But the trick is, even if you have the app, 258 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.799 you still have to have two things to watch this 259 00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.320 in four K. You have to have a four K 260 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.879 enable TV, which duh, I mean if you're going to 261 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.679 be watching it four K, But you also have to 262 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.120 have a four K enabled streaming device. That's a Roku 263 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.320 that's a Fire TV stick or a Fire TV device, 264 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.759 an Apple TV or an Android TV that runs Google. 265 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.240 All of those have to be four K, plus your 266 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.840 TV has to be four K. Those two things for 267 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.039 this to line up and give you four K for 268 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.519 free on the Super Bowl. The other thing bill is 269 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.679 to be Typically you can download the app and just 270 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.240 start watching for the Super Bowl game.

Congratulations on New York, 286 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.360 by the way, and we'll see a next We'll see 287 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.039 an next Tuesday. 288 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:10.679 All right. 289 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.200 For those of you that are unfortunately have been affected 290 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.360 by the fires and their thousands and those who know 291 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.200 people affected, which is tens of thousands, what's going on 292 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.559 right now is people looking at their homes and they 293 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.720 have to remove what was once there burn toxic, explosive 294 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:36.519 in some cases, remnants of houses, possessions, and so the 295 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:38.679 issue of how long it may take to rebuild right 296 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:40.759 now is not even on the table. 297 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.440 It's how long will it be to remove the debris 298 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.559 that's the problem. 299 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.039 So you have an estimated sixty one hundred homes burning 300 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:53.639 out Tadena, fifty five in Palisades, and everyone wants the 301 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:54.879 debris remove. 302 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.559 From their property. 303 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.120 Like now, there are a couple of things about this 304 00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.759 that I want to share with you that I was 305 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.600 talking to a contractor. And by the way, no one 306 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.519 wants to take the debris. I mean, it's a real 307 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:10.399 nimby issue. So residents in the San Gabriel Valley near 308 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.159 Lario Park, that's where the Eaton fire is going to 309 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.519 have its garbage spread, they're thrilled with that one, the debris. 310 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:21.200 And then the Topanga the Palisades fire going to go 311 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.519 to a location near Topanga Canyon and Pacific Coast Highway 312 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.679 owned by the county. All right, So the US Army 313 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.759 Corps engineer, the colonel who's in charge, who's overseeing the 314 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:37.080 phase two debris removal process, said that that stage stage 315 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.720 two will take less than a year. And it used 316 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.240 to say, or the word was it was taken to say, 317 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.840 three months to make a dent. Karen Vass said, no, 318 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.120 it's closer to one month, and there are a lot 319 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:55.279 of issues going on. Number one, the logistical challenge. First 320 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.159 phase can only be done by the EPA as long 321 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:02.600 as it's still around, and that's hazardous materials, paints, cleaners, 322 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.559 car batteries. 323 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.639 Some properties can take longer than others. 324 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:10.759 Obviously, if you have a home solar system with batteries, 325 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.720 that's going to be a different story. And the timeline 326 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.639 for the EPA to accomplish removal has gone down from 327 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.480 three months to one month. And this is a lot 328 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:25.000 of pressure from the Trump administration and local officials. The 329 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.960 Trump administration has come down hard and saying you have 330 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.159 to clean this up as quickly as possible. 331 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.519 Some properties will be cleared earlier than others, clearly. 332 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.519 I mean, if you only have so many excavators, so 333 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.639 many dump truck someone's got to go first and last. 334 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:51.799 The second phase involves structural debris foundations, recyclables, trees, and 335 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:56.120 up to six inches of soil that's on the property. 336 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.200 That can take two to ten days per property. And 337 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.240 here's what homeowners get to do. They get a choice. 338 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.159 You can either do it yourself and assuming your insurance 339 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.639 covers it, have your insurance pay for it. Or you 340 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:16.080 can have it done for free. And that's using the 341 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.320 Army Corps of Engineers. Who is going to in this 342 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.240 organization will clear the debris on your property. 343 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.879 So who is going to pay? 344 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.759 I mean, if it's free from the Army Corps of Engineers, 345 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.360 they know what they're doing. Why would you ever do. 346 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.200 It for free? Aha? 347 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.639 Here is the catch here, and that is if the 348 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.080 Army Corps of Engineer comes in and cleans out goes 349 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:45.720 the foundation. And if you are building from scratch, starting 350 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:50.679 with a lot, now you're subject to all of the codes, 351 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.720 the new rules. For example, the setback. It used to 352 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:59.000 be that the setback was five feet from the street. Well, 353 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.000 under the new rule that've been passed a few years ago, 354 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.279 the setback is now eight feet. And if you tear 355 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.079 out the foundations and have to build again on what 356 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.039 is a lot, you now have to add another three 357 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.599 feet worth the setback. And then we're talking about codes 358 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.359 all over the place, the earthquake codes, I mean all 359 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.720 of it. And so a lot of people are saying, 360 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.880 wait a minute. If you keep the foundation and it's 361 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.640 easy to find out if they're cracked or not, the 362 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.960 foundations in decent shape, that's an easy call. Then you 363 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.799 use the existing footprint and you use a lot of 364 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:39.160 the existing code. That's why you see when someone is 365 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.519 remodeling their home and literally taking it down to the foundation, 366 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:44.759 there's always one wallup. 367 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.759 They always keep one wallup because. 368 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.200 That makes it a remodel, not a new build, and 369 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:58.720 there's a huge difference, and how many homes are actually 370 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:02.720 going to be rebuilt. That becomes problematic because I was 371 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.680 just told I was stunned this. 372 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.319 A couple days ago. 373 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:06.759 I was having a conversation with someone who really knows 374 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.119 this stuff, and I said, how much does it cost 375 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.680 to build your house? Because I built mine. I built 376 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.160 a Persian palace, and I don't know. I paid three 377 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.039 hundred dollars a foot square foot to build it. And 378 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.200 he told me it's one thousand dollars a square foot 379 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.400 today easily for a custom home. And all those homes 380 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:30.480 and Palisades were customed thousand dollars. So a five thousand 381 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.920 square foot home, which is not unusual for the Palisades, 382 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.839 is a five million dollar rebuild. 383 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:37.880 Hard costs. 384 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.960 That's the cost of a lumber, that's the cost of 385 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.440 the appliances, the guy who hammer the lumber together. It's 386 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.359 five million bucks for five thousand square foot home. 387 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.559 Let me tell you something. 388 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.839 Insurance policies don't cover that if you're on the Fair Plan. 389 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.119 People that were uninsured and could only get the Fair 390 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.079 Plan fire insurance which were covered the max. 391 00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:58.240 There are three million dollars. 392 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.519 And as I do commercials for Reuben adjusting, it's all 393 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.319 about the insurance companies. 394 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:06.480 If you have a. 395 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.359 Five million dollar rebuild, they won't give you five million dollars, 396 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:12.200 or they won't give you two million dollars. You'll see, Okay, 397 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.079 we'll give you one point five, we'll give you one 398 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:19.599 point seven. You know, we'll replace your cabinets that were 399 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.680 custom made with basically IKEA level cabinets, because look at 400 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.359 the policy, it only says replacement of cabinets. 401 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.640
