What's happening in California is a true tragedy. I know those areas very well. I have many friends living in those houses
00:06
that is a true tragedy. The biggest homes, some of the most valuable homes in the world are just
00:13
destroyed. I don't even know, you know, you talk about a tax base. If those people leave, you're gonna lose half your tax base of
00:19
California. This is a true tragedy, and it's a mistake of the governor and you could say the administration.
00:26
They don't have any water. They didn't have water in the fire hydrants.
00:30
They don't have water, and yet they have. The water comes from, you know,
00:34
where? Up north, and it comes down at levels. They give millions and millions of barrels of
00:40
gallons of water
00:42
that they have, and they send it out into the Pacific. For the Pacific, it's like a drop.
00:47
It's nothing, but for California, we take care of the whole state.
00:50
So what's happened is a tragedy, and the governor has not done a good job. With that being said,
00:55
I got along well with him when he was governor. We worked together very well, and we would work together.
01:01
I guess it looks like we're going to be the one having to rebuild it, but what happened there,
01:05
I don't think is anything that I've ever seen quite like it, and the insurance companies are going to have a big problem
01:11
because you're talking about big, big dollars.
