00:00But we are going to move as fast as we can, but we want you to be safe.
00:05We want you to be back in your homes immediately.
00:08But the people are willing to clean out their own debris.
00:11It doesn't cost a lot.
00:12Yes, and they can.
00:13You should let them do it because by the time you hire contractors, it's going to be two
00:17years.
00:18If a family...
00:19The people are willing to get a dumpster and do it themselves and clean it out.
00:25And they can do that.
00:26There's not that much left.
00:27It's all incinerated.
00:28That's right.
00:29You know, it's just going to take a long time if you do...
00:31You can do some of it, but a lot of these people...
00:33I know that guy right there that's talking.
00:35I know my people.
00:37You'll be on that thing tonight, throwing the stuff away, and your site will be...
00:40It'll look perfect within 24 hours.
00:42And that's what he wants to do.
00:44He doesn't want to wait around for seven months till the city hires some demolition contractor
00:48that's going to charge him $25,000 to do his lot.
00:53I think you have to...
00:54You have emergency powers just like I do, and I'm exercising my emergency powers.
01:00You have to exercise them also.
01:01I did exercise them.
01:02I signed an emergency declaration.
01:03Because I looked.
01:04I mean, you have a very powerful emergency power, and you can do everything within 24
01:08hours.
01:09Yes.
01:10And if individuals want to clear out their property, they can.
01:13But we can't even clean it and get to the house.
01:17Yes, but you know that you will be able to go back soon.
01:20When?
01:21When, Mr. President?
01:23Within a week.
01:26That's a long time, a week.
01:27I'll be honest.
01:28To me, everyone standing in front of their house, they want to go to work, and they're
01:31not allowed to do it.
01:33A week is a long time.
