1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: For those of you that know anybody that lives in 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: hurricane zones in a place like Florida, the one thing 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: you can count on when people talk about hurricanes that 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: are longtime residents of a state like Florida, is they'll 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: always compare them to pass hurricanes. That's a big talking point. 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: They love to do that, and today the governor the 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: Florida Ron de Santis, did just that. He said the 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: intensity of this hurricane Ian will probably only fall behind. 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: And this is kind of interesting the Labor Day hurricane 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: of nineteen thirty five. I see there were known names 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: back then. Was he there for that? No, But they're 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: looking at their record NOx do they have a guy 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: is about like one hundred and two or remembers it 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: it was. It's recorded in nineteen ninety two's Hurricane Andrew, 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: twenty eighteens Hurricane Michael. Some are comparing the path of 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: this hurricane to Hurricane Charlie, which came a few years back, 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: but De Santis said today that one was smaller. This 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: is just a really really big storm front. Yeah, it 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: hit the same spot on the coast, that's right, but 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: it's it's three times larger. Three times is large. He 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: came in as a category four and he thinks it 22 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: will be among the top five hurricanes to ever hit 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: the Florida Peninsula. Is his belief. What we have going 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: on now is it is making its way across the state. 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: It is hitting parts of Orlando. There's at least a 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: million people in the dark power. And the thing that 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: we're really watching on the southwest coast of Florida, in 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: places like Fort Myers is the water surge. There is 29 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,919 Speaker 1: unbelievable video coming out of that region of the state 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: where the water is just rising and rising what they 31 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: call the storm, sir. It started at Fort Myers at 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: about ten o'clock this morning our time, because I was 33 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: watching it live in incredible gushing of the Gulf of Mexico, 34 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: and it kept rising higher and higher and higher, and 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: the camera was perched across the street high up. It 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: was in a business district, and you know, eventually it 37 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: was coming up almost as high as the camera and 38 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: you couldn't even make out what was going on anymore 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: because it was you know, there's there was so much rained, 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: so many rain droplets on the camera, and the wind 41 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: was blowing so hard that the visibility was zero. But Yeah, 42 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: it was fascinating to watch, and it just it happened 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: fast too. I think about Florida is it's a mushy state. 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: It swamps so and there's there's a number of lakes 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: too that they believe in rivers which are going to rise. Also, 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: even in the Orlando area, they're concerned about the You 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: know what had search is alligators get flushed out of 48 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: all those swamps. Really. Oh that's right. I forgot about that. 49 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: Floodings of rivers, creek streams, and other low lying and 50 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: flood prone areas is imminent or a cur according to 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: a weather National Weather Service statement. Yeah, when the water receives, 52 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: you're going to see alligators littered all over the place 53 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: on people's lawns, their driveways. Yeah, that's true. They all 54 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: get displanted, they all get knocked around. Yeah, yeah, because 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: they live, they lurk and you can't even see them. 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: They like to be just a little bit submerged. There's 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: a lot of like roadside gullies that they use for drainage. 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot of random lakes and ponds all over 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: the place and they look very benign and pretty except 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: there's there's alligators in there. Oh, as this storm makes 61 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: its way across the state and then eventually northward into 62 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: places like Georgia and the Carolinas, it's gonna obviously come down, 63 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: and eventually, they believe by tomorrow morning sometime it'll just 64 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: be classified as a tropical storm. But they're still feeling 65 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: the worst of it right now as we speak, and 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: every story I read is the same. The wind the problem, 67 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be the water surge. Dessanta says that 68 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: people are already calling for rescues, but it's pretty hard 69 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: to get to them. No, they end them to evacuate. 70 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: They shut down a lot of the rescue services that 71 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: the rescuers aren't gonna aren't going to risk their lives 72 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: right now. I heard like one emergency services guys say, no, 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: we're not We're not leaving. We've closed ourselves down here 74 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: at the station. We're not leaving until the winds are 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: below forty five miles an hour, and it's going to 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: be hours before that happens in some areas. Because he says, 77 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: they have more than six hundred high water vehicles and 78 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: more than three hundred boats of all sizes, and two 79 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: and fifty we are already stationed in the major impacted areas. 80 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: But you might be right. It might be too dangerous 81 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: to just launch them out there. Now. It got some 82 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: video running right now on CNN, and it almost looks 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: like time laps video. You know where we're if you 84 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: see time lapse video in the clouds are rushing across 85 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: the sky quickly. The traffic as well. It's that same effect, 86 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: except it's it's real time, and it's the wind driven 87 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: rain sweeping across the roadway and sweeping sideways across the 88 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: camera frame, and the trees bent over almost entirely. I mean, 89 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: it's these are probably one hundred plus mile an hour 90 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: winds that they've got video of twelve to eighteen inches 91 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: of rainfalls expected across the region. Local highs could be 92 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: as much as two feet according to predictions. Along the 93 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: I four card or is a high risk of very 94 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: heavy rain that could produce flash flooding and impassable roads. 95 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: One note by Governor DeSantis today, Like I said, I'd 96 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: like to talk about past hurricanes. With Hurricane Irma, seven 97 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: people died directly because of the storm, but there were 98 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: seventy seven fatalities post storm that standing water down power lines, 99 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: people misusing generators. So he's warning everybody that the storm passes, 100 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: don't relax, be careful of Darwin stuff. Yeah, don't don't 101 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: touch electricity. Don't you catch electrical Well, by the way, 102 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: when when do they start putting power lines below the ground? 103 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: Is that ever gonna happen? It's very exciting in the 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: whole world. Yeah, well this looks pretty expensive though too. 105 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: I just don't understand dig a hole. The craziest of 106 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: the storm surge videos are coming from this southwest coast 107 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: of Florida, places like Fort Myers, Sentabelle Island, Naples. These 108 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: are where we're seeing a lot of these stories where 109 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: people are up on rooftops and they've got other cameras 110 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: that are planted in locations just showing you how much 111 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: the water are slickers around. The hurricane came on shore there, 112 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: and the angle of the hurricane, the northeast quadrant of 113 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: the hurricane, like the northeast section if as related to 114 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the to the eye of the hurricane, that's where the 115 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: most dangerous winds are, Like they're sweeping up, you know, 116 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: from the south. The winds blow counter counterclockwise around the eye, 117 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: so they pull the ocean up and the water goes 118 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: to where the northeast quadrant is of the hurricane, and 119 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: that was lined right up with the bay that leads 120 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: into Fort Myers. And so that's why they got hit 121 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: really really hard. If you're on the backside of the 122 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: of the hurricane, you're getting the winds off the land, right, 123 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: So if it's off the land, it pushes the water 124 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: away from your harbor. But if you're on the front outside, 125 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: it pushes the water to you. I'm looking at a 126 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: twelve second video from Naples. Houses are moving. In other words, 127 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: the storm serves of water is just taking the house 128 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: right off the foundation and it's floating along in the water. 129 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: It's it's a houseboat. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, you find out 130 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: the construction values of your neighborhood. I hope that they 131 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: hope the people are okay, I can't imagine being in this, 132 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: So you gotta get out. Well, maybe maybe many of 133 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: them did, we don't know. Probably probably most of them did. 134 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: But there's always there's always idiots. I mean, there's there. 135 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: You know, there's a spectrum of intelligence, there's a spectrum 136 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: of everything, and people on the low end usually have this, 137 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: you know. I always hear these warnings, So you know 138 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna ride it out. And that's the 139 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: guy you see standing on the roof. Oh, listen to 140 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: this board of patrol is confirmed the twenty three people 141 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: were missing off the coast of Florida. A Cuban migrant 142 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: boat sank. Oh, that's not a good time to be 143 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: making in that trip. Qubius saw had lost all power. 144 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: They're getting it back slowly. But the entire island nation 145 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: of Cuba went dark when Ian hit there yesterday. And 146 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: how much of Florida is going to be dark too? 147 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: Because this thing's moving so slow. It's down to eight 148 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: miles an hour. That's the thing they're saying about it. 149 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: That's snail like pace. Is really going to cause all 150 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: the problem. Last I saw, and this might have been 151 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: an hour ago, it was about one hundred and ten 152 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: miles south southwest of Orlando. Now at eight miles an hour, 153 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: that's going to take about twelve hours to get to 154 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: the Orlando area. All right, we'll give you more updates, 155 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: of course, with KFI News to Johnny ken Chow KFI 156 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app There 157 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: were a mandatory curfews for the coastal communities of Collier 158 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: County the city of Fort Myers beginning tonight local time. Oh, 159 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: the luters are going to come out if they can 160 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: wade through the water. Oh yeah, what's left of the 161 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: merchandise it's floating by. Yeah. Fort Myers has a forty 162 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: eight hour curfew that goes into effect. It did go 163 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: into effect at six o'clock local time. A couple of hours. 164 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: The power's all gone, so right looking at pictures of homes, 165 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: damaged condos. There apparently was one twenty seven floor apartment 166 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: building in Fort Myers that was swaying and the winds 167 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: that hits that feels good, you know. During the daytime, 168 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: the coverage is a little frustrating because they have fixed 169 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: cameras and they have them pointed on their reporters who 170 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: are blown around in the wind. Yes, but obviously a 171 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: lot of the roads are closed and they're flooded anyway, 172 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: so you can't really drive around and show the damage. 173 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: It's it's tomorrow, after the storm has passed. That's when 174 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: we're going to see the damage. You're gonna see flattened homes, 175 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: homes that sailed down, the sailed down the river, all 176 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: the down trees, the alligators and the sharks sliding around. 177 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, cars that we're back. Look, I'm looking at 178 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: what is I don't know where that is. Oh, it's 179 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: in Fort Myers. Yeah, there's there's a car submerged right 180 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: up to the to its roof. There are homes floating by. Yeah, 181 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: it's got pulled dry off their foundations. There's now a 182 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: million and a half people without power. The number just 183 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: jumped from a million to a million and a half 184 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: in the latest update, most of it in the coverage 185 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: area service by Florida Power and Light. This includes Lee County, 186 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: where Ian first hit hours ago. In Florida, I'm looking 187 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: at a picture from Saint Petersburg where the flamingos are safe. 188 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: They've been taken inside to a bathroom. They're all huddled 189 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: together and tours flamingos, well, you know all known Florida symbol. 190 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: You know. We went to Sara Sota every year, uh 191 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: and and Sara Sota has this, uh this small suit 192 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: called Sarasota Jungle Gardens. And I went there just cup 193 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: early this summer, and the kids loved going there all 194 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: the time, and they had a pretty good collection of flamingos, 195 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: probably about forty of them or so, and they would 196 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: number them, and so you could come back if you 197 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: remember the numbers, and meet the same flamingos every year. 198 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: Like there was one flamingo who only had half a beak. 199 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: Something had happened. He got into a fight with another flamingo. 200 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: One of my sons saw him every year and called 201 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: him half beak, right, And then we came back one 202 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: year and a half beak was gone. Apparently they'd had 203 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: a cold winter and half beak froze. Oh, and I 204 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: was today. One of the photos I saw early on 205 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: was the sign for Sarasota Jungle Gardens. They had a 206 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: big colorful side where it says turn here, and it 207 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: had fallen on the ground and it was all dented 208 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: and battered and everything from the wind. And I thought 209 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: about the flamingos. I wonder what happened to them. I 210 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: hope they took them in. And they have a lot 211 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: of other animals too. And this was in Saint Petersburg. 212 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: They man they probably had their first flight. Another part 213 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: they're caught in a hundred mile an hour wind. Yeah, 214 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: And another part of Florida. This is also an odd thing. 215 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: We've mentioned earlier in the show that a shark was spotted. 216 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: People are having catfish appearing in their driveways and yards, 217 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: and it's a specific type of catfish, which is known 218 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: as a walking catfish. I'll explain that in a moment. 219 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: But one fish measured six or seven inches and was 220 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: flopping in the driveway in a shallow puddle of water. 221 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: People are taking video of this. They can't believe it. 222 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: Things outside and there's catfish on their lawns. Is that 223 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: a good dinner? These catfish, called walking catfish, breathe air 224 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: and walk on their petrol fins. Their native to Southeast Asia. However, 225 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: they're found throughout Florida and swampy areas like the Evergladesh 226 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: that was some hurricane. There's sometimes in storm draded systems. 227 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: They can emerge during floods. Yeah, and that's what's going on. 228 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: They're just washed at you ever go after a heavy rain, 229 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: sometimes you see the worms get washed up on the sidewalk. No, 230 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: that's that's what's happening to the catfish. That's what I mean. 231 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: I guess you can eat them. That's what I mean 232 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: about the alligators. That's what happens they alligators wash up 233 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: like the worms do. Why do people live in Florida 234 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: Because there's freedom in Florida. It has nice weather most 235 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: of the year. Every year we deal with something like this. Well, 236 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna say that when we have our earthquake. We 237 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: don't live in California. But earthquakes don't happen every single year, 238 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: thank goodness. Yes, but when we get that eight point whatever, well, 239 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: which is I've been trying to figure out another place 240 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: to live and I haven't been successful in finding that. 241 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: But Florida with the alligators, the crocodile, well, healthy fish, 242 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: the hurricanes, the flooding. Yeah, I don't care what the catfish, 243 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: but an alligator or a shark wash that would be disturbing. 244 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: Did you see the shark swimming down? I see it yet, 245 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: that's I saw it. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's not 246 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: that big though, right Noll. But you know you don't 247 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: want to take it on yourself. Oh, I'm sure somebody 248 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: will capture it and have it as a pet. It's 249 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: probably about four feet I would say. No. Yeah, baby, 250 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: this is the apocalypse, isn't it. Everything's washing up. Florida's 251 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: going under, all right. We got more updates coming up. 252 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: John and Ken's showed kf I AM six forty five 253 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: everywhere in the iHeartRadio Am coming up after five o'clock. 254 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: We want to see those test scores. So this is 255 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: quite a story that you need to be made aware of. 256 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: Thanks to the pandemic lockdown and all the dopey zoom 257 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: school well, we're finally seeing the results. And apparently the 258 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: statewide test scores for many of California's public school students 259 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: are not being released by the Superintendent of Instruction for 260 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: the state on purpose, delayed till oh, maybe after the election. 261 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: He's running for reelection, that's right, So he doesn't want 262 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: you to know how horrible the test scores were because 263 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: he participated in shutting down all the schools. I'm about that. 264 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: We'll give you the details of this story. It's an 265 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: important one coming up after the news at five o'clock. 266 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: And if we learn anything further on developments in Florida 267 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: with Hurricane Ian making its way sort of across the states, 268 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: the latest is it's still raining. Pattern latest is it's 269 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: still raining. Well now, bets, it's a bit windy. Still yeah, 270 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: still yeah, very windy rain. There seems to be water 271 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: in the streets and sharks and alligators. You're right on 272 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: top of that. Huh, what you're staring at, Wolf Blitzer? 273 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: I am watching multiple screens of hurricane destruction. Okay, it 274 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: just sound a little gleeful. That's something about extreme weather excited. 275 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: There's something about extreme weather really excites me. Yeah, but 276 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: this could be like the optic lives not. Everybody's fine 277 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: so far, yeah, so far. Well, at this point, if 278 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: something happens to you, probably it's your fault. You should 279 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: be hiding back here. In California, here's a headline. More 280 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: than one in four southern California families cannot pay their 281 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: energy bills. Now I have two thoughts when I read that. 282 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: Of course California has we mentioned this a few weeks ago. 283 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: We of course have high gas prices. That's beaten into us. 284 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: We drive past the signs. We know people in other states. 285 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: But one thing that's not talked about enough is how 286 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: high are electricity prices? Right, but you really are paying 287 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: the price for this. Don't be moved towards alternative sources. 288 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: Wind and solar is really expensive. We have the highest 289 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: electricity rates in the country, sixty percent higher than the 290 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: national average, and a quarter of the population is at 291 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: poverty level or below. So of course you'd have about 292 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: a quarter of the population can't afford their electricity bills. Yeah, 293 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: but sometimes when I read these stories, I wonder when 294 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: they say that, did they pay the phone bill? You know, 295 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: so they could sit there and stare at social media 296 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: and look at Facebook and right, do they have a thirteen? 297 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: There is like nobody it does not have a cell phone, 298 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: and cell phones are not free. Yeah, So you always 299 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: wonder what the priorities are in some of these households 300 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: and the answer these questions they're telling the researchers here 301 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: that well, we had to cut back on food or 302 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: medicine to pay our energy bill. Really yeah, I'm with 303 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: you on that because I think a lot of people 304 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: spend money on all kinds of garbage. I always wonder, 305 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: what's your cable bill, what's your internet bill, what's your 306 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: streaming service bill, what's what's your iPhone that you got there? Yeah, 307 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't think these people are walking around with iPhone sixes. Well, 308 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: thirty nine percent of families making less than fifty grand 309 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: we're unable to pay their energy bills in full. At 310 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: least once in the past year. For those who make 311 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty grand, it was only five percent. 312 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: That's California's disparity. We have the very poor. I mean, 313 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: when you make less than fifty thousand dollars in southern California, 314 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: that's pretty poor. So right, but you vote for people 315 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: who create these excessively high electricity rates. You do this, 316 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: You could have voted for other people and we would 317 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: have just relied on They don't make the connection. They 318 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: don't know that that's what's going on. I guess that's 319 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the penalty, the penalty for being uninformed and making stupid 320 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: choices when you vote. Here's the penalty. Now you can't 321 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: pay your bills. Other states aren't even aware that they 322 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: started this. So Cal Edison started this pricing thing. It 323 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: was I think it was this year where if you 324 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: do use energy during peak hours, they give you much 325 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: higher prices. Yeah, And during that heatwave and early September. 326 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a chart here, so Cal weekly average 327 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 1: on peak wholesale electricity price. It reached two hundred and 328 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 1: eighty bucks per megawatt hour in the period between August 329 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: seventh and September twenty fifth, and this looks like it 330 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: was around September sixth. I mean, I'm saying that because 331 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: in comparison, if you look back to way earlier in August, 332 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: he was down to like one hundred and twenty increase. 333 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: You get host by the energy company's absolutely host And 334 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: again it's because the state doesn't produce enough energy. I 335 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: have no idea why then they will produce more energy. 336 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: Get the nuclear plants built, the natural gas plants built. 337 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: Knock off this weird hippie obsession with green energy, because 338 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: if you create enough energy, you don't have to charge 339 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: double or triple the price because you go into tier three. 340 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: Why is there a tier three should be the same 341 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: price per mega one hour. But since they're running out 342 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: of energy every day during heat waves, they've got to 343 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: come up with a cocka maybe plan to give us 344 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: a disincentive. Why is there a disincentive make more energy 345 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: to use less because they don't make enough. It's there. 346 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: This is self created. Oh and they get a bigger 347 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: profit too, right, if they may enough, they wouldn't make 348 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: such a great profit per megawatt hour, But by creating 349 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: an artificial shortage, they're charging two eighty five instead. Of 350 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty. It's a racket, it's a scam. 351 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: Now the other forty nine states don't have this somewhat 352 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: related to this. This is the period it's ending soon 353 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: where dippity do has to sign bills or veto them. 354 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: And we always say on the John and Ken Show, 355 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: this is always important rule to remember in life. It's 356 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: not what people say, it's what they do. So he 357 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: has started to veto bills that he says are going 358 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: to cost too much, including the big one the other 359 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: day about mandatory kindergarten. He vetoed that bill, and in 360 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: his message he did say that it might be too 361 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: expensive for the state. And I'm saying all this because 362 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: it could have cost up to two hundred and sixty 363 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: eight million dollars a year to mandate kindergarten. I'm saying 364 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: all this because you may be aware that it's been 365 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: a pretty bad ride for the stock market most of 366 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: this year, but in the last month especially. This completely 367 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: and disproportionally affects California reveties because we've got the wealthy 368 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: who will pay most of the income taxes, and a 369 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: lot of them derive their wealth from their capital gains 370 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: and the markets, and the markets have not done well 371 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: this year, so this cocky governor finally realizes that things 372 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: could crash, so he vetoed a series of bills, including 373 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: like this one, a five year program led California students 374 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: ride public transit at no cost that he said would 375 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: have cost one hundred and fifteen million dollars a year, 376 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: so he put the veto stamp on it. A bill 377 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: to reduce light pollution would have required all outdoor lights 378 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: on state properties to have anti light pollution shields. Oh 379 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: good lord, had he detailed that one is unnecessary? What 380 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: you know what these legislators have all kinds are like 381 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: crackpot pet issues. Oh, they have nothing to do, and 382 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: and you know it's like it's like the idiot who 383 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: brings up the daylight saving time issue, oh every year, 384 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: and then you have this idiot who's worried about light pollution. 385 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: But what are you talking about? This is that crazy 386 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Alex Lee from the Bay Area. Yeah, he run into 387 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: him before. He's really young, and he's a real nut. 388 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: He's one of these millennial wieners and he has all 389 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: these pet boutique, little San Francisco style issues. It's like, 390 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: yet light pollution is the problem. Last I walked around 391 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: your your city, your area, you had about eight thousand 392 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: people dying and rotting in the streets. And you're worried 393 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: about light pollution. Look down instead of looking up. Now, 394 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: the States supposed he has a lot of money in 395 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: its rainy day fund, and may Newson projected the state 396 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: had twenty three point three billion dollars in this pot 397 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: of money. Because this talk about one hundred billion dollars 398 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: surplus is long gone. We're not headed in that direction 399 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: with this fiscal year. You can tell you that right now. 400 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to hear like an accounting of what 401 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: you were opened with their about how the wealthy disproportionately 402 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: pay taxes in the state. Listen to this. There's a 403 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: hundred thousand taxpayers with incomes above a million dollars. That's 404 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: one half a one percent of all the tax returns. 405 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: They pay thirty five percent of the income tax and 406 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: they stay way out of whack. Yeah, Remember Schwartzenegger and 407 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Jerry Brown wanted to re jigger taxes. They wanted to 408 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: actually charge like a bigger sales tax or just what 409 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: do they call it in Europe, like one of those 410 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: taxes when you're getting yeah, something like that. I said, 411 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: we cannot stick too much on income taxes. It's going 412 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: to kill us when things dump. Actually, it's up to 413 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: forty percent. Half top one half percent pays forty percent 414 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: of California personal income taxes. And they get most of 415 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: that from cashing in stocks because a lot of executives 416 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: everybody like why constantly, almost every day here's somebody carping 417 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: about how much executives make. Executives make most of their 418 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: money in stock rants. Sometimes they have relatively small salaries, 419 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: but they have these stock rants. But you don't pay 420 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: taxes on stocks until you sell them, and then you 421 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: pay taxes on the profit. But people do, and Jeff 422 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: Bezos does this, for example, Elon Musk does this. They 423 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: borrow against their stockholdings. They live off a massive loan. 424 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: But you don't have to pay a tax on a 425 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: massive loan. So that's why you hear about their tax 426 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: bills being so low, because technically they don't have much income. 427 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: Their salaries are relatively low. Do they pay interest on 428 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: this low? Yes, they do. That could be deductible too, right, right, right, 429 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: So but and then and and so that like in 430 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: the last during this stock downturn you were talking about, right, 431 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: the the wealthiest people lost three hundred and fifteen billion 432 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: dollars of their own personal wealth three hundred and fifteen billion. 433 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: The stock market crashing has cost trillions of dollars in wealth. 434 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: All told, Uh, it's it's but yeah, this state is 435 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: so heavily weighted that if we have a prolonged stock 436 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: market downturn, which we could have, if there's a recession, 437 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: then you're going to see newsom is going to be 438 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: squealing like a stuck pig next year. All right, we're 439 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: coming up on the Johnny Ken Show. If I am 440 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: six forty five everywhere in the iHeart Radio app. Well, 441 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: Hurricane Ian's already down to a category three, so we're 442 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: done with it. Let's move on. Oh, it says people 443 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: are trapped in their homes according to one of the 444 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: Florida's sheriffs. Well, yeah, that's on the west coast there. 445 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: That's going to be a story for days. Well they 446 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: told you, how many days did they tell you to evacuate? Leave? 447 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm trapped, Like, hey, help me, I'm on the roof. 448 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: We're floating away. We told you to get out. Of course, 449 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 1: one of the great political stories of the day. We'll 450 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: play again next hour. Was Joe Biden looking for a 451 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: dead woman in the crowd today asking her to take 452 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: a bow man. This one, though, is fantastic as well. 453 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: There's a book coming out about the Trump presidency by 454 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: a New York Times writer and it is and I 455 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: guess they're releasing a catchy excerpts. Yeah, this is a 456 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: pretty good book. I've read some excerpts of it. Oh 457 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: you have Yeah, Yeah, this looks good. I'm gonna buy it. Okay. Well, 458 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: So this story, which is making the rounds and getting 459 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: a lot of attention today, takes us back to October 460 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, when Trump was going to debate Hillary and 461 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: for the presidency. And supposedly the story is Richard Bloom, 462 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: who's now dead, but he was alive then the husband 463 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: of Diane Feinstein. Biden was looking for him to Feinstein 464 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: shared the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time. So during 465 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: preparations for the third debate, Hillary Clinton's team was disrupted 466 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: by a warning from mister Bloom, who said he was 467 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: told that the Russians might try to poison Hillary. Threw 468 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: a handshake with Trump to inflict a dramatic health episode 469 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: during the debate, and so right out of the Putin playbook, 470 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: right a poisoning and the Clinton the crowd brought into this, 471 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: they did, they were freaked out. Yeah, did she shake 472 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: his hand or well until Ron Klain, who is now 473 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: the chief of staff for Biden, he listened to this 474 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: and he goes, well, wouldn't the poison kill Trump too? 475 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: Then maybe there's a way you can apply it. Maybe 476 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: you wear like a really thin see through glove, right, Yeah, 477 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: on the outside of the glove, right, you can come 478 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: up with the way she got inside the box KGB. 479 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: He loves poisoning people, the community. Her communications director, Jennifer Palmiery, 480 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: So what a moment that would have been on the 481 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: debate stage right if she just like dropped dead right 482 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: in front of him and he starts to clutch that 483 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: holds up his hand and it's all red and swollen. Uh. Anyway, 484 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: Jennifer Palmiery was her spokeshole, and she took it seriously 485 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: enough to check it out like Clinton did not who 486 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: started this And it was speculation from a historian, there's 487 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: just something a guy made up. But Bloom really brought 488 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: into it enough to enough to spread it and it 489 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: was ron Klain's said, well, how could Trump poison Clinton 490 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: without harming himself? And I guess that calmed everybody, calmed 491 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: everyone down. Yeah, there are ways.
