➡ Serious wildfires are currently affecting Southern California, particularly in high-end areas with thousands of homes. The fires are causing insurance companies to hesitate in providing coverage due to the high risk, which could lead to a drop in house values. Additionally, there’s concern about the single entry and exit point in these areas, posing a potential risk during mandatory evacuations. The situation is still not under control, and there’s fear that the fires could reach more houses if not contained soon.
➡ Barry, a contractor from California, faced a financial setback when a check he cashed for $8,200 disappeared from his account due to his client’s account being hacked. Meanwhile, he also dealt with a water leak at his home. The text also discusses a debate, a fire in Southern California, and a company policy change at Pricewaterhouse Cooper, which will now track remote workers. Lastly, it mentions a peculiar theft of $3,000 worth of bras in Connecticut.

Hey, it’s Dan. Welcome back to Watch and Eye Allegedly. I’ve got a good one for you today, but this is really serious. We’ve got five fires now in Southern California that are really bad, and I’m up at the Tribico Canyon area, and I’ll get a better shot of this for you in a second, but you’ve got all the fires that are burning over the ridge. Now, the severity of this community right here, once it comes over that hill, it’s going to hit these houses. It’s going to hit a lot of houses.

There are thousands of homes up here, and you’ve got, you know, really high-end areas. Dove Canyon, Hidden Ridge, Coder de Casa, all these different areas up here, but it’s very serious. They’re starting to block and shut the roads off. A lot to cover in the economy, but don’t forget to like, subscribe to the channel. We have a lot of them in a bid, but it’s crazy because they’re starting to shut this down, and no end in sight. No end in sight for the fire right now. Now, here in Wackadoo, California, the problem you have is they don’t want to insure anybody.

They don’t want people to get homeowners insurance. They don’t want them to get fire insurance. They don’t want any type of coverage where they could have a loss. What’s going to happen as a result of all these fires is you’re going to see more people that are going to lose coverage. Now, get a house for sale right here, $1.3 million. Nice neighborhood, but this is particularly not a fire zone unless it burns over the hill. Do you know what I mean? So, if it comes and burns those couple miles, then it’s a fire area, but what they’re going to do after this is done is they’re going to say, hey, you now live in a high-risk area.

That’s what they’re doing over and over again. Talking to insurance people, can you get fire insurance? Yeah, it’s not impossible. I love that. It’s not impossible, Dan. Where are you looking? You’re looking to buy, Dan? No, I’m not. I’m not. This is a really nice neighborhood, guys. Okay, beautiful. Okay, but that fire, it’s only getting worse, guys. This is just bad, bad news, and it’s nowhere near being put up. This is just one of them right now. Now, here is the biggest problem that I have with this neighborhood, and that is that, yeah, you can sit there and say, oh, it’s horse property.

You got horse trails here, and it’s great. Guys, there is only one way in here. That’s it. That car that just came in, that’s the only entrance. If you look on the hill right there, you can see all the different flame retardants up there, the red stuff. You’ve got all the planes, all the helicopters, everything here. Guys, there’s one way in and one way out here. No, I don’t feel safe living in a place like this because, again, hopefully these people have enough time if there is a mandatory evacuation. But, man, oh, man, guys, when you see this, you know, and that, that’s a different track, guys.

Oh, you can’t walk up there, but this is what the vegetation looks like. Now, look at the other side, guys, how brown that is over there. That’s just so bad. That’s so, so bad. You’ve got a problem with house values dropping. You’ve got a problem where you can’t get insurance. And, again, I’ve had people write me in the last week and say, yeah, we pulled out of a deal because we couldn’t get insurance. I’ve had people get quoted $90,000 a year for homeowners insurance. Do you have an extra 90 grand a year, guys? It’s crazy.

This is, this is not normal times right now. Look at this, guys. It’s just really loud with all the helicopters and with everything. But can you see the fire retardant? When that comes over the hill and they keep blasting that with the fire retardant, hopefully it’s going to stop it. It looks like it at least slowed it down. So let me get a better shot of that for you. I just ran into a couple that says if you walk up this hill, Dan, you can get there and see the other side where all the smoking fires at.

So we’re going up there together. So anyways, a couple things. Last night with a debate, there were a lot of people in corporate America that are concerned about Kamala Harris’s tax increases. Do you guys pay enough for taxes? I think we all do. Well, let’s have some more. It’s crazy. But earnings right now, they’re concerned that the earnings report are going to be dramatically affected by this. By the way, if the fire comes over the hill here, it’s done, baby, because that’ll go right to the houses. This isn’t green like that other area I showed you.

The iPhone 16, they think inflation is going to hurt that about the fact that nobody likes the phone. I think that’s going to be a real problem where the phone’s not going to sell. And it’s going to be a real issue. Next thing is the Campbell’s Soup Company changing their name after 100 years to the Campbell’s Company. Okay, good luck. Kind of ridiculous. We sell goldfish. We sell Rao’s spaghetti sauce now. Wow, look at this. Okay, let me show you this. Let’s talk about our sponsor, Native Path. Think about this. Blood clots, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure.

These are all things that are found on the side of an ibuprofen bottle. Now, one thing that you can do is you can go out and you can get something that’s completely natural with omega-3 fatty acids that will make a huge difference in your joint pain and getting you healthier. You know, let’s face it, ibuprofen only masks the problem that we have. So, Native Path uses a naturally caught krill and they’ve had a tremendous amount of success. It’s a very inexpensive product. You can get under under $30 a bottle. But if you go to getnativepath.com forward slash Dan, use the link below.

So much is happening in corporate America right now. Here you’ve got Southwest Airlines, you know, they’re mixing up their board, but they’re going to keep their embattled CEO. And is that the right thing? And then you get JP Morgan, you know, and my main man Jamie Diamond steps forward and says, there’s a lot of qualified people that could run this bank.

Well, that’s not a boat of confidence for anybody, guys. I don’t, you know, if I was a shareholder, I’d want to know who you think is going to run this joint. And, you know, we’ve had enough of the wrong people pick for their, you know, jobs, you know, and Brian Nickel, he’s the CEO, new CEO of Starbucks. He used to be at Chipotle and he says, we’re going to change everything up. Let me give you my hundred day plan. Do you care? Seriously, Starbucks is so overpriced and they want to bring back the community coffee house.

Okay. No, it’s done. I think that that is finished now. I don’t think that people want to go sit in Starbucks and use the internet. I mean, I did that 10 years ago. I wouldn’t go back now. It doesn’t interest me, but things need to be mixed up right now. You know, this Apple thing with the iPhone, it’s, hey, it’s got AI powered to it. No one cares. No one cares about the new iPhone. Do you need another $2,000 phone? Seriously, it’s outrageous. Look at this. Okay. As I stand on top of this Ridge, you can see the houses over there.

This is a city called Rancho Santa Margarita. It’s nice. Okay. I don’t like it because it’s 40 minutes from the beach. It’s about 15 miles, 20 miles to the beach at most, but driving wise, it’s like driving through hell because you got a lot of lights and everything, but this, they’re nowhere near getting this under control guys right now. So very, very sad, very, very scary. All tile roofs, all that stuff. A lot of these houses are built with fire sprinklers inside the houses, but still burn baby burn. And it’s just when you get the heat and you can just see the flames.

I mean, from here, you’ve got flames. I mean, I am miles away from this thing from where I’m standing, but you can see the flames that are literally 30, 40 feet in the air at some of those spots. It’s crazy. I want you guys to get the gist of this and you can just see the scope of how big it is. Once again, this is just one of the fires, but guys, that’s going to rage down that hill. And if it does, if they don’t control it, it’s going to go right into those houses right there, which is absolutely awful.

I always love hearing from you guys. And I got a note from Dolores who says she’s 86 years old and has been watching my channel for a year and a half. And I want to thank her very much. She’s from the Omaha, Nebraska area where a lot of my family was originally from. And she said that I have lived in the same house for 44 years and I by no means am rich, but I’m very comfortable. Dolores, I’m telling you, you’re very rich because you have everything. Okay. And you’ve got Dan from my allegedly too.

So the next thing is Barry. Barry is a contractor in the San Mateo area in California here. Barry wrote me to say, Hey, I got paid from a job, $8,200 and he sent me a copy of the check, which I will not show you guys. But one thing that’s crazy was he walked into the bank to cash the check and process check line was too long. So he put it through the little automatic, take the picture of it and sent that through. And next day the funds were available. Two days later, the funds were gone.

And then he calls the client and the client says, listen, we got hacked and they tried to steal $170,000 out of our account and the money is frozen. Now, here’s the thing. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Let’s just say it is. You still need to go into, you know, Chase bank. As you were given a check that at the time it was presented, they said it was good. I’m telling you guys, if you can cash a check right now, things like this happened. Barry didn’t plan on this, but it’s 8,200 bucks guys, a lot of money.

So get an explanation from Chase seriously and have them explain to you exactly what’s going to happen. And when can I expect my funds and don’t say 30 days because the client wants more work done and Barry’s out at 8,200 right now. The other thing is Barry had a water leak at his house over the phone over the weekend and phoned plumbers that he knew that were good guys. And on an emergency basis, Barry, do you have any cash? And he said, hell yes, I do. Because I watched Dan from my emergencies like the plumbing disaster.

So I hope the water leak was solved and I hope you got it fixed. But guys, prepare for everything. You’re going to see shenanigans. I’m not saying that the $170,000 story is bad, but just prepare yourself for this stuff because you haven’t seen anything yet. These poor people that are living in the canyon right now, I don’t know if you can see that, but you’ve got the water dropping helicopter going by and then it’s going to go over to this. But guys, this is just raging right now. So the problem with the sailboat, how dirty the brush is and how brown it is hasn’t rained that much.

And the vegetation that we saw at the other track, they have sprinklers on that side so that it doesn’t burn up the hill. But you know, what are you going to do? Got these poor people, man. It’s just, and I know you can’t hear it through the phone, but man, is it loud with all the helicopters and planes and they get really close to this. Now, after dark, it’s going to be very ominous to see this, to say the least. So, you know, the other thing is the debate last night. Let me know, who do you think won? Do you like it? What do you think? Should we have more? I just, man, I’m just so disappointed in this whole process.

And, you know, it’s just ridiculous. It really is. So, you know, I talk a lot on the private channel about things I can’t discuss here, but I just, I’m just fed up with all this fed up with the games and this is how it’s supposed to be. And it’s not. This is just unfair and, you know, ridiculous. So let me know what you think. Let me know who you think won. Let me know what you think about this. So share your thoughts and all this stuff. This is the path for the fire trucks.

You can just see how there’s been no water up here for a while. You can just see how dry the vegetation is too. But man, it’s just, it’s very, very ominous. It’s very, very scary. I feel really bad for these people. No homes have been burnt yet. And there’s no mandatory evacuation for these houses yet. But in other parts of Southern California, San Bernardino, now Los Angeles County, there’s other areas where there are mandatory evacuations, but you can just see how it’s just smoldering down the hill. And all it takes is one hotspot, a little bit of a breeze.

We’ve had lots of heat and this is bad. So, you know, let’s hope the firefighters can get control of it. Cops have been really good. Oh, guys, you see that guy dropping it right there. That is so cool. Once again, guys, I appreciate all the great stories that you guys send me. And Don sent me some great stories today and sort of Dr. Marvin and a couple things. Think about this, Stratford, Connecticut, they had a store got robbed for $3,000 for the bras. Okay. Now, first things first, I’m a visual learner. So you have to show me exactly what you’re talking about and how they fit and things like that.

But what do you do with $3,000 for the bras? You know, sell them online. I mean, they’re not the same size. So it’s like, oh, he just got large. You know what I mean? It’s like, I always get a kick out of theft like this. That’s crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Also, the days of free lunch are completely over with when it comes to working. You’re going to be tracked wherever you work from now on. Pricewaterhouse Cooper, the world’s largest company that does consulting. I always like that. They are saying that they’re no longer going to let you work remotely without being tracked.

So bravo to you guys. I’ve been to a bunch of events from Pricewaterhouse Cooper and they were always really luxurious and nice. But now they’re going to attract these people and they’re going to know where you’re at. And here’s the thing. If your boss hates you, you’re done. Go look for another job. Seriously, because the problem with this, the thing that people don’t get is when you have a situation where they start doing this, they’re going to find things wrong with you. Remember, it’s the Warren Buffett thing as if you follow somebody for a hundred miles, you’re going to find them breaking the law.

Don’t forget to hit the like button, subscribe, and email me hello at iallegedly.com. I hope you guys enjoyed this. Something a little different. We’ll get back to normal. Let’s hope that nothing is burning, but the sky is filled just like a dozen planes around here and helicopters. So I’ll see you guys soon. [tr:trw].
