We're on until ten pm 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: every night. Back to where we started. I was on 14 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: for twelve years of kalis X at night, then twelve 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: years here, then went to afternoon drive, and now back 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: to evenings. And this is where I'll be until either 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: I die, they tell me to get out, or somehow 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: I make it the retirement. But I would bet on 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: either I'll die in this seat or they'll throw me out. 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 2: Those are the options. 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: And and I think people are who know me are 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: pretty confident that that really those. 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: Are the only two possibilities, that's right. 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: All right, Data centers, I know that everybody is using AI. 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: I used AI today help me out with a little problem. 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: And but it needs a lot of power, you know. 27 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Just to create a three second AI video takes as 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: much as to as to light a light bulb for 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: an entire year. The tremendous amount of energy that is 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: going into AI is off the charts, and I don't 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: know where we're going to get it. You know, we're constantly, 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, complaining in the summer that their thermostat is 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: being turned up, you know, because there's no electricity. We 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: get brownouts, we get blackouts, and that's an AI is 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: just in their infant stages. So wait till AI really 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: kicks off. Where are we going to find the electricity? 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 5: I don't know. 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: Let's find out. 39 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 6: This is a pretty stunning stat Half of all of 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 6: the new demand for electricity in the US in the 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 6: next five years is expected to be driven by data centers. 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: Okay, where are we going to get the electricity? If 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: half of it fifty percent is going to be data centers, 44 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: where's that going to come from? 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 6: These data centers are the backbone of AI technology. In 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 6: partnership with our stations across the country. We saw how 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 6: they are dividing communities worried about higher utility bills. This 48 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 6: was the sound at Laura Evans home in suburban Chicago 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 6: last spring. 50 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: You imagine that twenty four hours a day you live 51 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: next to the power grid of one of these data centers, 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: and you hear this twenty four hours a day. 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: How about that? 54 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 6: Backup generators kicked in at the data center one thousand 55 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 6: feet from her backyard and it never goes away. 56 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: Never goes away. 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 6: Laura tells us the data center emits a droning hum 58 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 6: to twenty four to seven. 59 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: How about that? You drive you crazy? 60 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 6: And it's not just the noise taking a toll, She says. 61 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 6: In the last year, her average electricity bill has spiked 62 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 6: twenty three percent. 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 7: How do you budget when it's changing that much that year? 64 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 7: You can't? 65 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 6: And her electric company warned prices could rise even more, 66 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 6: saying one reason why is increased electricity use from data 67 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 6: centers and artificial intelligence. 68 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they want more money. They're going to try to 69 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: get soaked the billionaires here in California. Newsom's against that 70 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: because he knows the billionaires. He knows these people personally, 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: and he knows that if you slap a five percent 72 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: tax on billionaires, they'll be in Texas or Florida before 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: the sun comes up. They will just leave, and then 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: we'll lose all that future income. Although those future taxes 75 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: so but they want a gas tax, they want a 76 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: mileage tax. The firemen want a tax. They want to 77 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: in the city of la they want a street light tax. 78 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: And they want more, more and more and more and 79 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: more and more. We don't have anymore. Everybody is living 80 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck. Everybody, almost everybody I know. 81 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 6: ABC News and our owned and affiliated stations spoke with 82 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 6: communities across the country grappling with the rapid buildup of 83 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 6: data centers to support the AI boom. An analysis from 84 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 6: our data team found there are more than three thousand 85 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 6: data centers in the US. 86 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: How about that three thousand data centers just in the 87 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: United States. And again we're in the we're in the 88 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: very infants stage of AI. This is just starting to roll. 89 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: We're about, i would say, maybe two percent into AI. 90 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: And what AI could do, it's it's incredible about twelve 91 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: how much energy. 92 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: It's going to need. Where are we going to get 93 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: it from? 94 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 6: About twelve hundred more are now under construction or soon 95 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 6: to be built. 96 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 8: If you're using AI, ultimately a lot of the computation 97 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 8: happening there, or at least the storage for that thing 98 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 8: is in a data center somewhere. 99 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 9: It's just a. 100 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 2: Massive construction site. 101 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, a massive construction site. These things are absolutely huge. 102 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: Where they're building these data centers. 103 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: Is in a data center somewhere. 104 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: It's just a massive construction site. 105 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 6: A two hour drive from Laura's home, we visited the 106 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 6: site of what will be one of the biggest data 107 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 6: centers in the US, in the small town of Port Washington, Wisconsin, 108 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 6: a fifteen billion dollar project backed by Open Ai and Oracle. 109 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: Okay, if you're if you're looking for a job, let 110 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: me back up here. 111 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 6: Biggest data centers in the US in the small town 112 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 6: of Port Washington, Wisconsin. 113 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Do you hear that, Get in a car and go 114 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: to Port Washington, Wisconsin. 115 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: Port Washington, Wisconsin. 116 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: If you're looking for a job, they're building a fifteen 117 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: billion dollar data center in Wisconsin. 118 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: What city was that? 119 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: In Port Washington, Port Washington, Okay, Port Washington, Wisconsin. There's 120 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: got to be jobs there. If you're looking. You know, 121 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: you're young, you can move around. You can pack up 122 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: your U haul your apartment down. I bet you'd dollars 123 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: to donuts. You could get a job in Port Washington 124 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: in some capacity. With fifteen billion dollars going into this 125 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: small town, A. 126 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 6: Fifteen billion dollar project backed by Open AI and Oracle 127 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 6: that's part of the White. 128 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: House's Stargate initiative. 129 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 6: The campus sits on a plot of farmland bigger than 130 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 6: five hundred football fields, and we'll eventually use about the 131 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 6: same amount of electricity needed to keep the lights on 132 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 6: in all the homes in Philadelphia. 133 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know where Port Washington is. I imagine, well, 134 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: they said in Wisconsin. I imagine it's probably close to 135 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: a river or a lake. Maybe it's near Green Bay. 136 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's probably closed to what's the 137 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: lake there is that lake Superior, Lake Michigan. It's on 138 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: is Wisconsin Lake Michigan. I always get that confused. I 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: think it's Lake Michigan. Yeah, because Chicago's on Lake Michigan too. 140 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 7: Yeah. 141 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so it's probably on Lake Michigan because they're going 142 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: to need the water from Lake Michigan in to cool 143 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: that plant down as well. Michigan to the east, Superior 144 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: to the north. Okay, so it's on Lake Michigan. So 145 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: that's probably north of Milwaukee, maybe south of Milwaukee, but 146 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: it's definitely north of Chicago. And if it's on if 147 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: Port Washington is on the lake, like Crozier just affirmed 148 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: that it is, so I believe him. Then they're going 149 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: to use that lake water to cool that plant down 150 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: as well. So here here's why I'm bringing that up. 151 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: You can move to Port Washington. If you're on the 152 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: water in Wisconsin, it's beautiful. There is not an ugly 153 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: part of Lake Michigan on the water. So if you're 154 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin or in Indiana to the south, or Michigan to. 155 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: The east, it's spectacular. It is great. 156 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: And so they're going to build a fifteen billion dollar 157 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: plant there. You can get in on that and grab 158 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: some money, especially if you've got skills in that area. 159 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: So don't pooh pooh this. Get to go to Port Washington. 160 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: It's sulf a job and joy yourself. 161 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: Move around. 162 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 8: They'd be putting power lines that are taller than apparently 163 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 8: the Statue of Liberty. 164 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 6: Tom Utech is an artist who has lived on this 165 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 6: land for forty years. He showed us where the utility 166 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 6: company is planning to build a massive power line on 167 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 6: his property. 168 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 7: For the project, they'll just take over your land. 169 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: Yeap, and we'll fight it to the end.

Man, 175 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: everyone always complains that there's no job. Then a cap 176 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: walks in with fifteen billion dollars and the locals are like, ah, 177 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: f them, we don't want we don't want their money. 178 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: It's like, remember AOC, they're going to put a huge 179 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: Amazon I guess it was either an Amazon storage facility 180 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: or distributor ship, and AOC shut that down and they 181 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: built it somewhere else. 182 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: I don't know.

I was at the warehouse, 246 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the showroom in Indio out in your Palm Springs, 247 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: and I think that it's time everybody gets a radically heavy, 248 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: secure front door. 249 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely for sure, And there are so many ways 250 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 8: to do it these days. You know, what is really 251 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 8: just the hot thing and that, you know, just a 252 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 8: few years ago this was an untouchable concept for most people. 253 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 8: Is the flush pivoting entry door or where like the 254 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 8: hinges in the middle the hinges, you know, a pin 255 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 8: in the top and the bottom of the door doesn't 256 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 8: actually have a hinge, but it has a pivot that's 257 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 8: about ten to twelve inches in from the door. And 258 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 8: I think most people, for most of the time, they 259 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 8: look at that and they're like Oh, that's just a 260 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 8: super expensive door that goes in a high end home. 261 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 8: That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, but here's the thing. 262 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 8: You know, it is an expensive door. But but you know, here, 263 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 8: let's just talk brass tacks. If you've got an entry door, 264 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 8: like a big oak entry door, a thirty six inch 265 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 8: wide entry door, which is what they should be, and 266 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 8: you also have in that oak frame two sidelights, you know, 267 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 8: two glass sidelights to both sides, the overall door opening 268 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 8: is probably pushing a little over five feet. Okay, Now, 269 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 8: all that whole assembly, all that put together, that could 270 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 8: easily set you back, you know, like four grand plus 271 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 8: even more for an oak or a mahogany front door, 272 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 8: and these doors, single door, no more expensive than that. 273 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 8: But it's one door, oh good, that opens up almost 274 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 8: the entire opening over four feet in width, and it's 275 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 8: just sexy as heck. And it doesn't matter whether you've 276 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 8: got a traditional home or home even though the action 277 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 8: of the door is definitely modern in contemporary. When it closes, 278 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 8: there's every imaginable style and they're just the coolest things. 279 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 8: I love the look. 280 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: But again, I thought it was for you know, rich 281 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: people and if you're telling me it's not it's a 282 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: good deal, I might look at it again because up 283 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: in Oregon, you know, you have to have a heavy 284 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: front door because of the weather up there. So but 285 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: what comes with a heavy door is the weight and 286 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: on the hinge. And we've had to replace the hinges 287 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: up there two or three times because they just wear 288 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: out exactly exactly. 289 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 8: And I was talking to somebody, I think it was 290 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 8: maybe a caller, either this week or last week. I 291 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 8: think it was last week, and a caller was asking 292 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 8: me about, Hey, you know how I want to get 293 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 8: a better secure door. So should I buy a steel 294 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 8: door or something. I'm like, listen, here's the thing. If 295 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 8: you've watched enough TV, you'll know this that you know 296 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 8: when the cops bust down your door. Okay, when somebody 297 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 8: tries to break into your house by by kicking open 298 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 8: your door, it's not the door that breaks, right, it's 299 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 8: the jam. The jam shatters that that the hings are 300 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 8: screwed into. So if you're gonna oversee if you're gonna 301 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 8: secure your door, listen, just just get a good, nice 302 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 8: wood door and then put it in a really tough jam. Well, 303 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 8: these pivoting doors. They don't even have hinges that go 304 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 8: into the dam. They've got steel pins that go down 305 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 8: into the slab and up into the head or up 306 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 8: above it. These doors do not do not get busted open. 307 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: Oh that's great. 308 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: And how much more are they percentage wise? You're looking 309 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: at twenty five fifty. 310 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 8: Well, I mean if you if you think about, oh, 311 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 8: a thirty six inch oak door versus a five foot 312 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 8: wide oak door, then yeah, it's gonna be about thirty 313 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 8: percent more. But if you have the oak door set 314 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 8: in with the two sidelights all built in, it's a swap. 315 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's interesting, that's great. Yeah, yeah, but you 316 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: know what. 317 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: I again, I don't mean to bring this up every 318 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: eight seconds, but I was in Indio at American Vision Windows. 319 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: They got a great showroom out there, and I noticed 320 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: that one lady over heard her conversation, and so I 321 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: asked her about this, and she said that her neighbor 322 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: got new windows and a new door and there is 323 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: a competition in her neighborhood for windows and doors. I'd 324 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: never heard of that before, but I think that's a 325 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: big deal. You know, you've got to beat the neighbors 326 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: and have a better looking door. They have competitions like that. 327 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: It's a neighbors are so funny. It's odd, but but 328 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: but it is a thing. 329 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: It is a thing. 330 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 8: People notice that when you change out your windows and 331 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 8: your front door. Yeah, that's it's a significant change to 332 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 8: the street presence of the house, to the curb appeal 333 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 8: of the house.

We would drive up and look at a 358 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: home and if the door looked like it was old 359 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: and beat up and the windows were single pain aluminum frames, 360 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: we didn't have to go in. We knew what the 361 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: house was. It was gonna be a lot of work, 362 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: and we didn't want to do it. But if you 363 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: have beautiful windows and doors, you know people are going 364 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: to go in and see your home when you go 365 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: to sell it. Because La has the highest rate of 366 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: curb appeal than any other city in the world, ninety 367 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: five percent of people will look at your house and 368 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: they will determine at the curb whether they're going to 369 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: go in and look at it to buy or not. 370 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: Ninety five percent. That's very true. It's very true. 371 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 8: Hey, first impressions are really really important to people. You're 372 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 8: exactly right if they can say a lot. They say 373 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 8: a lot about how well you expect a home has 374 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 8: been taken care of on the inside, and what kind 375 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 8: of you know, you know what what kind of care 376 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 8: has been taken and what shape the house is in. 377 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 8: And so front doors, I mean, this is the door. 378 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 8: This is the doorway into your home. That's right, it 379 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 8: is a It is a big deal. Let's talk garage doors. 380 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 8: We have one of those, you know, typical you know, 381 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 8: five slat aluminum doors, and my wife said, hey, can 382 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 8: we go upscale, you know, do something different on the 383 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 8: on the door. And I said, yeah, so into Lows 384 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 8: and bought those magnets where it looks like you have 385 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 8: a fake handle on it and fake. 386 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: The carriage door hardware. 387 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it such low end, but I like it. It 388 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: looks like you know, it looks better. But garage doors 389 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: are also really important. I mean, if you have your 390 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 1: garage in front of your house, that might take up 391 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: forty percent of what people are looking at. 392 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 393 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 8: I argue as a designer that if you're going to 394 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,239 Speaker 8: invest money in a door for the front of your 395 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 8: house and then you have a front facing garage or 396 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 8: a four a garage forward home in which the garage 397 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 8: is literally sticking out about, you know, fifteen to twenty 398 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 8: feet closer to the curb than the rest of the house. 399 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 8: Then the garage door is in terms of curb appeal, 400 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 8: your front door, that's where you should spend the money. 401 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: Croz is a great example. You have a double garage 402 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: and it's right. It's the first thing you see when 403 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: you pull into your house. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, 404 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: it's right there. Yeah, So first impressions on the garage 405 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: door critical. I would rather just buy a paint grayde 406 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: front door and do something really great for the garage door. 407 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: If the garage is the first thing everybody sees, you 408 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: recommend would or aluminum. Well, I don't recommend wood for 409 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: a garage door, but a would. Look, there's no reason 410 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: to wood doors will no matter how much you spend 411 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: on them. And believing we had a lot of high 412 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: end clients, you know, twenty thirty years ago who are like, 413 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do the all wood door, and you 414 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: know what, they just they don't weather well, they move, 415 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: they start falling apart, they start sagging. But these days 416 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: you can get a really beautiful aluminum door that's got 417 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: a photorealistic wood overlay on it and you can't tell 418 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: the difference. I tell you a funny story. Oh but 419 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: I thought it was a funny story. So we're at 420 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 1: Indio a couple weeks ago and Kent Bagdasar was the 421 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: ad executive and for American Vision Windows. And we're at 422 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: the showroom down there, and one of the sales guys 423 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: wanted to show me what a wooden door looks like. 424 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 1: But not wood, it's aluminum. And he showed it to 425 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: me and he says, that door right there is not wood. 426 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: And I said, you gotta be kidding. So went over 427 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: the door and I was touching it. I was knocking 428 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: on it, and I was rubbing it, and I couldn't 429 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: tell the difference. I couldn't tell that it was not wood. 430 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: And then I hear, I hear from the other side 431 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: of that door, guys, can you please give me a break? 432 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: It was the bathroom door, and he was in the bathroom. 433 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: There's two guys outside banging on it, knocking on it, 434 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: feeling and touching. 435 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 2: He's like, hey, can you guys give me a break here? Well, 436 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: it's true. I mean, that's how far doors have gone, 437 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: you know. 438 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 8: I couldn't tell that it wasn't wood though. Yeah, it's 439 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 8: brilliant stuff. And so there's no reason of good get 440 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 8: the wood door. And plus you're gonna you're gonna get 441 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 8: a far far better door that is would realistic these days. 442 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 8: And you know at the show. Here the two most 443 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 8: impressive new things at the show. Well one of them 444 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 8: is a couple of years old, but still it's just 445 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 8: still so impressive. Clo Pe one of my favorite garage 446 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 8: door companies. Uh, you know, they have the this new 447 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 8: technology that they call Vertie stack, which is a sectional door. Okay, 448 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 8: imagine now this is the big difference of this door 449 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 8: is on the inside, on the garage side of things. Right, 450 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 8: it's a sectional door that simply the panels separate as 451 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 8: they come up and they stack right over the doorheader. 452 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 8: They don't roll back over the garage ceiling. And uh, 453 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 8: and so there's no there's no rails going over your garage, 454 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 8: which means your entire garage ceiling is completely wide open 455 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 8: all those storage racks and shelves because the garage door 456 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 8: does not have to go up there. 457 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 458 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: You know that's a great idea because in the summer, 459 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: when I open our garage door and I'm working in 460 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: the garage. When that door opens, it covers up around 461 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: forty to fifty percent of the lights in there, and 462 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: I can't see anything. 463 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 8: That's true. People put work lights up there and then 464 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 8: they open the door. They're like, oh geez, right now 465 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 8: the lights are all gone. So yeah, so this one 466 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 8: goes straight up. And it also has a version that 467 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 8: is new this year with glass. You know, these are 468 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 8: glassed out garage doors that now have the electronic opaquing 469 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 8: glass so you could keep the garage door closed and 470 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 8: if you want clear windows coming into your garage, you 471 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 8: just hit the button. They go clear. You get all 472 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 8: the day. Wow, all right, and when you're done, you 473 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 8: hit it again. They go opaque and you walk away 474 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 8: and get all your security. 475 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: Do they make a really nice, you know, screen door 476 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: for a garage. I've never seen one that looks like 477 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna last more than ten days. 478 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 8: Well, you know it's a big opening. Yeah, it's a 479 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 8: big opening. And so yes, there are nice screen doors. 480 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 8: But when it's down, you know, should your kid be 481 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 8: playing basketball in the driveway? 482 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: No? 483 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 8: No, because you're talking about a sixteen foot wide by 484 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 8: seven foot tall screen. All right, right, there is There 485 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 8: is no screen on the planet that you would want 486 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 8: to have that could roll up in front of your 487 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 8: garage door that will survive, you know, having something thrown 488 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 8: at it, because. 489 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: It's just too big. It's too big of. 490 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: An area to be you know, to to not be weak. 491 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: And yeah, they exist.

Some proponents of this technology to say, 582 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 6: this is the future. 583 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 7: What do you say to that, build it somewhere else. 584 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: Oh god, ma'am. I know, small town Wisconsin, I get it, 585 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: But you got to think about the future. There are 586 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: very few fifteen billion dollar data centers being built in the 587 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: United States, and your community was selected. 588 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 3: Build it somewhere else. 589 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 590 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: These these you know, five people, you know the Senate 591 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: down of Valley is a great example of this. The 592 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: San Fernando Valley for the last seventy five years, they've 593 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: tried to widen the one to oh one freeway so 594 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: it looks more like the five Freeway that goes through 595 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: Orange County. You know, like nine lanes on each side 596 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: where people can get around. And there's about ten homeowners 597 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: in the San Fernando Valley that show up and they're 598 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: loud and they protest and they make people's lives miserable. 599 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: And so you drive on the Ventura Freeway and sometimes 600 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: it's only three lanes now, but you go to Orange 601 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: County and it's nine lanes. When you leave LA and 602 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: you cross the six oh five going south and you 603 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: get into Orange County, you can see the difference between 604 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: Orange County mentality and Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County 605 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: listens to these five or six voices that don't want 606 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: anything new. Orange County gives them the middle finger and 607 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: builds it anyway. That's why Orange County works better than 608 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: LA County. 609 00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 3: Do you understand this? 610 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: Do understand that, ma'am. And we're gonna build it in 611 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: Port Washington. Build it somewhere else, No, we're building it 612 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: in Port Washington. 613 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 7: And just make sure it's done right. Because this isn't right. 614 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 6: In a statement to ABC News, the data center by 615 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 6: Laura's house apologized to neighbors and said it's installed sound barriers. 616 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 7: We also spoke with. 617 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 6: The utility and energy companies in Illinois and Wisconsin. 618 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 7: They said they are taking steps to ensure. 619 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,959 Speaker 6: Those projects don't shift higher cost to customers. You can 620 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 6: see much more of our report Data Land USA How 621 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 6: AI is changing our neighborhoods. That is tonight on ABC 622 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 6: News Life, Prime and Nightline. And guys, when we saw 623 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 6: these sites, it really was hard to wrap your head 624 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 6: around just the scale of it. Five hundred football fields 625 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 6: using enough electricity to. 626 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 2: Port Wait, how many football fields? 627 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 6: Pp your head around? Just the scale of it. Five 628 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 6: hundred football fields. 629 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: Five hundred football fields of data center. That means a 630 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: ton of jobs for Port Washington and whatever is around there, 631 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: West Bend or Random Lake, whatever's around there. Sheboygan all 632 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: those towns around there, Plymouth, they'll all benefit from this 633 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: data center going in there. 634 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: And who do you think they're going to listen to 635 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: this woman? 636 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 3: Do you understand that build it somewhere else? 637 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's going to kill the project. 638 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 6: Using enough electricity to power an entire city, just in 639 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 6: that one place. 640 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 7: This is an open It's a huge. 641 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 6: Thing when you think about just how quickly these are 642 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 6: popping up right now. Not a lot of regulation around this. 643 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 6: These smaller towns are struggling to keep up, and it's 644 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 6: a lot of times residents are saying, what's happening. 645 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 5: To residents should not have to pay any of their 646 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 5: energy bills. 647 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: Shouldn't go up. 648 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 7: All of the neighbors we spoke to you said, just 649 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 7: don't put it on us. 650 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well they have fifteen billion dollars they are 651 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: chances are your forty dollars electric bill is not going 652 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: to go up. But just to you know, to constantly 653 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: put your arm up and resist change is not the 654 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: way to go through life. 655 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: It's just a dumb way to go through life. 656 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: Another great example of that is the gondola or gondola 657 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: from the train station in Station downtown to Dodger Stadium 658 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: that's been in the in the works. They've been people 659 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: talking about that in La for forty years and it's 660 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: not even close to being okayed and built. It would 661 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: free up parking. It's a great idea. You know, you 662 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: go to a Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, those countries don't 663 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: listen to the five lunatics that show up and scream 664 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: at at you know, city hall meetings. They just build 665 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: and it's beautiful over there, spectacular over there. 666 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: But we what do we do here? 667 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: We focus on the six people who try to prevent progress, 668 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: and LA shows that sign every single day. Again, that's 669 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: why Orange County works and LA doesn't.
