1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,559 Speaker 1: All right, News round Up Information Overload hour eight hundred 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: nine for one sean. If you want to be a 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: part of the program, we'll take calls from Florida, in 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: particular about the storm that is pounding the western part 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: of the state. And it's as bad as they said 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: it would be. I mean, I have images that people 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: friends of mine have been sending from Fort Myers in 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: the Tampa area, etc. Etc. It's not good. So we're 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: gonna watch all of it, Joba. Starting at the bottom 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: of this half hour, we're gonna be joined in a 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: second by Ram Paul. What I didn't know, he's bringing 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: along a special guest, Riley Gaines, competitive swimmer from the 13 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: University Kentucky who was forced to compete against Leah Thomas, 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: who was the biological mail. And anyway, here's the latest 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: ad from Rand Paul on this very issue. I trained 16 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: from an early age, giving it my all to achieve 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: my train and I accomplish it, becoming its twelve time 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: All American swimmer at the University of Kentucky. But for 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: girls across America, that dream is being taken away by 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: men competing in women's sports. Sadly, few sit up for me. 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: But Rand Paul is not afraid to fight for fairness 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: for women and girls, and that's why I'm supporting him. 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm Rand Paul, and I proved this message because I'll 24 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: always fight for fairness. You'll just think back about this. 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: Should biological males be allowed to compete in women's sports? 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: You know? Title nine was designed to create a level 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: playing field for female athletes. In other words, schools would 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: offer all these scholarships to the men on football teams, 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: basketball teams, and women's sports was pretty much ignored until 30 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: Title nine anyway, So doctor A Senator Rand Paul of 31 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: Kentucky is with us, with Riley Gaines, who did compete 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: against Leah Thomas. Senator, welcome back. Always great to have you. 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, Senator Paul is up for reelection 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: in the great state of Kentucky. We know he will win, 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: but we take nothing for granted. You need to get 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: out and vote. And also with us as Riley Gaines. Riley, 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: how are you? Thank you for being Willis? Of course, 38 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: thank you guys for having me. Now you take way 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: a much bigger priority than Senator Paul, who I've known forever. 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Tell us your ad We just played the ad tell us, 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: well your experience and then your thoughts on this right, 42 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: So my experience is clearly iras Leah Thomas. I watched 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: Lee Thomas won a national title in the five hundred 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: yard freestyle, and we tied that next day in the 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: two hundred yard freestyle and given the trophy incident where 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: upon us time, they gave the trophy to Leah for 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: photo purposes and sent me home with no trophy. I 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: decided that I was tired of waiting force a coach 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: or someone within the NCAA governing body, or someone with 50 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: some sort of power to make a change to stand 51 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: up for us as a female athlete if we weren't 52 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: willing to stick up for ourselves, as we can't expect 53 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: others too, and so, feeling totally unequick, I took it 54 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: upon myself to speak out, as this is something I 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: find to be insanity. You know, I read the article 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: that you penned and it was on foxnews dot com. 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm an NCAA champion female swimmer, and we have to 58 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: protect girls, women from Biden's destruction, destruction of title nine. 59 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: Explain what this means because fifty years ago, pioneering women 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: and men fought for Title nine's passage. Now I have 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: a daughter that happens to be an athlete as well, 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: so I know exactly, I know everything about Title nine 63 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: that anyone would ever want to know. The idea that 64 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: in her sport, that she would compete against somebody that 65 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: was born a biological male. There would be no chance 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: if the person had the skill set that she had 67 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: as a as a biological born female. Right, No, you're 68 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: exactly right. And I think the left pushes that this 69 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: amendment to Title nine is progressive, but what they're not 70 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: realizing is we're setting ourselves back plus years to before 71 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: Title nine, which of course was created to protect the 72 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: female category and give women that equal opportunity as men. 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: And so this is not progressive. By no means that 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: this we're doing a one eighty and taking ourselves back 75 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: half a century. So you actually wrote and it got 76 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: a little bit graphic, but I think people need to 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: know the truth, and we have adults listening to this program. 78 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: You pointed out that under Title nine, women you believe, 79 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: and I agree with you are entitled to their own 80 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: locker room so that we can be vulnerable change in private. 81 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: Yet at the NCAA Championships. You saw a six foot 82 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: four biological mail exposing mail parts in our women's locker room. 83 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: And to be perfectly clear, the anatomy I and many 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: other women were forced to view confirmed that Leah Thomas 85 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: is a mail. And you ask the officials where you 86 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: could change that you had no intention of undressing in 87 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: front of a biological mail, and they informed you that 88 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: there were no protections in play for you to change 89 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: in a space that Lee and Thomas didn't have access to. 90 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time understanding that. Thank you and 91 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: me both. I am right. And I think that's a 92 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: common misconception that people have is that they think to 93 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: compete in the female category, you have to go full reassignment, 94 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: you know that, full transition. But that's not what we 95 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: were seeing. We were seeing a biological man who took 96 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: hormone suppressors for not even a year, still fully intact 97 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: with male genitalia, competing against the women. It was essentially 98 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: a biological man that grew out the hair. And how 99 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: disrespectful and disregarding of females to be put in a 100 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: position where you're exposing yourself and you're getting exposed to 101 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: and in a space where you feel like you should 102 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: have privacy, you should you feel like you should be protected. 103 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: But that's not what we saw, so we were not. 104 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: Let me just give you that. I want to know 105 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: what got you to this championship level that you're at 106 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: because you're performing at such a high level. I know, 107 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: in the case of my daughter, since she was seven 108 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: years old, she began a journey into athletics. She's now 109 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: a junior in college in Division one sports. But throughout 110 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: these years, especially when she got to a high school years, 111 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: she was training in her sport for at least two 112 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: two and a half hours a day. Then there was 113 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: one hour of cross training, and that meant running and 114 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: stretching and injury prevention and stamina building. And these were 115 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: not workouts for the faint of heart. These were hardcore, 116 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: serious workouts. And then she'd have to come home and study. 117 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: She'd give up a lunch period so she could turn 118 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: it into training, and in the car she'd be eating 119 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: her lunch on the way to begin her daily regiment 120 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: of practicing. Practice wasn't one day a week, it was 121 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: seven days a week. So there's so much that goes 122 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: into being a high performing athlete like you are right. No, 123 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: You're exactly right. I've been swimming since I was four 124 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: or five years old, every single day since I was 125 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: in second grade, and so at the collegiate level, you're 126 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: practicing five and a half hours every single day. Two 127 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: and a half hours of that is before eight am. 128 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: So it's a huge time commitment, and so many sacrifices 129 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: are made. You don't get to go home from summer 130 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: or for summers, you don't get to go to winter vacations, 131 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: you don't have breaks. You get one week off in August, 132 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: and that is it all year, and so you feel 133 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: like you've invested so much. I put so much of 134 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: my life into an organization, like being stable at who 135 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: did not do the same back to me when it 136 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: came down when it came time for it. Yeah, my 137 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: daughter's day yesterday seven am, the wait room, then class 138 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: till noon. Then after class it was team photos. Then 139 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: after that then it was practiced for two and a 140 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: half hours. After practice, it was conditioning training for another 141 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: hour and a half and then she had to go home, 142 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: eat and study and go to bed. That's a pretty 143 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: full day. Senator Paul, this is just fundamentally unfair, and 144 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: yet you have people on the left insisting that this 145 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: is the way it has to be. It's it's mind 146 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: numbing to me. You know, when I saw Riley Gane 147 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: speaking out, I said, finally, someone brave, some a great 148 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: female athlete, brave enough to come forward because there's so 149 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: much bullying going on, and some of this is silent bullying, 150 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: but there's pressure. They're telling these girls are not going 151 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: to get jobs, they're not going to get to go 152 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: to graduate school. The bullies come after them online and 153 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: on social media. But it is, without question unfair, and 154 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: I think people are horrified by it, and I don't know, 155 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm just so glad that she's speaking out. I saw this, 156 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: My wife saw this, and we were like, boy, we 157 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: want to endorse what she's doing, but she said she 158 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: wanted to endorse what we were doing as well, and 159 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: so we've been working together for the last couple of weeks, 160 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: and you know, we wish her the best of success, 161 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: but we don't want this to be the new normal 162 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: that men are swimming and the girls swimming meat or track, 163 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: meat or wrestling, or you name it. If if the 164 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: rest of the world wants to give up on women's sports, 165 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: they can, but I'm not willing to do that. You know, 166 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: Senator Paul, one of the things that defines your entire 167 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: career is your willingness to stand your ground and not 168 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: give in, especially to your own party when they're going 169 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: wobbly and weak. I have one question for Riley. Have 170 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: you thought about your future what you want to do? 171 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: Are you Are you aiming for the Olympics? Are you 172 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: aiming for a career in politics? Because I think you'd 173 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: be great at it or television. You'd be great at 174 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: either one. So I was actually all set to go 175 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: to Dineral School, but with everything going on, I decided 176 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: Dineral School will always be there, the relevancy and the 177 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: importance of this issue will not be So it's kind 178 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: of thrown a wrench at what I thought. I had 179 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: plans as as things tend to work out. But like 180 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: I said, this is something I'm passionate about and so 181 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: I want to to pursue it until a change is made. Ultimately, 182 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: that's what I'm fighting for. It don't want any female 183 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: athletes to have to go through what myself and my 184 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: teammates and other female athletes who have had to endure this. 185 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: It's it's incredibly. Well what does that mean in terms 186 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: have you? Are you fully? Are you graduated now? Yes? 187 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: I just graduated. Um in May, I just bring graduations school, 188 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: Thank you. I just I just got married.

Congratulations a third time. 190 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: Keep going, you're doing great. Yeah. And I've just reapplied 191 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: to all my dental school stuff and just finish us 192 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: interviews there to pursue that next year. Boy, that's that's 193 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: that's a phenomenal story. All right, quick break Moorewood. Senator 194 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: doctor Rampaul of Kentucky up for reelection this year. Very important, 195 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: must win seat. Uh, don't take it for granted, even 196 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: though he's way up in the polls. And more with 197 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: Riley Gaines, competitive swimmer University of Kentucky. She was forced 198 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: to compete against a biological mail Leah Thomas. And we'll 199 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: talk more about this and so much more. On the 200 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: other side. We'll give you an update on the weather 201 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: in Florida. It is as bad as they predicted. And 202 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: we'll have Joe start to check in with us in 203 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. All right, we continue, Senator and doctor 204 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: Rampaul is with us from the Great State of Kentucky's 205 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: up for reelection. That seat is pivotal for Republicans. And 206 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Riley Gaines she was and just graduated a competitive swimmer 207 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: from the University of Kentucky, forced to compete against the 208 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: biological mail. You remember Leah Thomas. You know, I wish 209 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,239 Speaker 1: Senator Paul that we had more young people like Riley 210 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: that had the courage to speak out, because I'm sure 211 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: this hasn't been easy for her. Every step of the way. 212 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: A lot of people get mis misguided and thinking, oh, 213 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: this is about tolerance, and I need to be nice 214 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: to everybody. But this isn't about niceness for tolerance. This 215 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: is about the fairness of women competing against women. And 216 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: I think when that finally sinks in, and just imagine 217 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: if there were five Leah Thomas's that were college men swimmers, 218 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: average college men swimmers, they switch over and then they 219 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: dominate women swimming. What is the whole entire podium were 220 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: five or five men? And what kind of world do 221 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: we live in when they're putting people on the front 222 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: in front of magazines as Women of the Year who 223 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: are not women. I mean, so this is a bizarre world. 224 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: And look, I'm a live and let live kind of guy. 225 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: You're an adult. You want to do that yourself. That 226 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: is up to you. People can be what they want 227 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: to be. They can be called what they want to 228 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: be called. But oh way, I think most Americans are 229 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: with you. But if you're born, as I quoted Kaylin Jenner, 230 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't care what your testosterone levels are now what 231 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: were they a puberty? Because that makes a difference. And 232 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: she was very clear she'd never compete in a golfing 233 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: event as a woman because she has a decided advantage 234 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: over her biologically born female counterparts. I think when people 235 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: think through this and they see the fairness aspect of this, 236 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: I think they're going to come down on the side 237 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: of fairness and something's got to give. But we also 238 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: have to just stop and reflect about the changes about 239 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: us and decide whether these are changes for good. And 240 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: it's a subject subject for another day. But I'm really, 241 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: very very concerned about young people and having irreversible surgery 242 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: without their parents permission. And this is one of the 243 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: main debates I've and carrying on up here that you know, 244 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: until you're eighteen one. I think a lot of kids 245 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: less than eighteen can't make a fully rational decision. They're 246 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: not yet ready to have some kind of permanent surgery 247 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: to remove parts of their body, and so I'm adamantly 248 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: against kids doing this. It's going on all over the place, 249 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, Vanderbilt advertising that they can make a bunch 250 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: of money by doing this, and I think it's it's 251 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. But people have to be unafraid. They 252 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: have to speak out about these things. If no one 253 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: speaks out, that's where we're headed. You know, you're a 254 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: true champion in every way, Riley Gains. We wish you 255 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: all the best. Congratulations on all the great things that 256 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: have been happening in your life. I'm glad you're going 257 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: to continue to speak out for all our friends in Kentucky. 258 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: I know Rampaul you think he's gonna win. Don't take 259 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: it for granted. You got a vote for him. That's 260 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: how he wins. So his voice continues to be out 261 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: there in the US Senate we needed desperately. Senator thank you, Riley, 262 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: thank you, and you're welcome back on these airwaves anytime 263 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: you want. Can I mention really quick that I am 264 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: now co sharing a federal pack called nine Pack, and 265 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: so I would absolutely appreciate it. If people would go 266 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: on to nine pack don order, check out the website, 267 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: and if they're willing to donate, that would be fantastic. Obviously, 268 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: the goal is to protect biological women's right to compete, 269 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: and so I just want to thank you for having 270 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: me on and thank everyone for listening.

It's the size of dependence. 335 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: So I mean, it goes from coast to coast, and 336 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: really it's pushing inland, so like Orlando, Florida, Central Florida, 337 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: which is not on the coast obviously is in Central Florida, 338 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna by the time the thing works that they're 339 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: already getting hit by vand's pretty strong. But by the 340 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: time that thing's up there, it's going to be a 341 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: Category one or two hurricane, which is not the kind 342 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: of thing you see in Central Florida. It works its 343 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: way up by Ford or like at some point near 344 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: Daytona Beach or something like that. Northeast Florida but basically 345 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: the whole state up by four because gonna have a 346 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: category with one or four storm. The wind, the rain 347 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: that it's dumping is extensive, it's moving very slowly, so 348 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: it's a lot of rain being dumped on Central Florida 349 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: and then just a lot of rain, wind and storm 350 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: surge hitting southwest Florida. So this thing has potential to 351 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: really be definitional in terms of what it's going to be. 352 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: That these communities that are impacted. There's a lot of 353 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: people on harms ray right now hoping everyone's being safe. 354 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: And now we're praying for our first responders because these 355 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: folks that are out there and ready to go, they're 356 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: gonna be called in the middle. Oh. I mean, they're 357 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: all putting their lives on the line. I mean even 358 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: the reporters I've been watching today, it looks like they're 359 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: about to blow away. I Mean, winds are so high. 360 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: Our meteorologist here on the radio shows Joe Bistardi a 361 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: WeatherBell dot com and he his track has this thing 362 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: going straight through that I four corridor that you're talking about, 363 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: straight through Orlando and then slightly turning a little bit 364 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: north right over Jacksonville, Ponto Vidra and then straight up 365 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: into Georgia and South Carolina. I have to probably going 366 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: out a little bit to sea and then coming back 367 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: in for a round two. But in the meantime, we're 368 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: talking about a significant portion of the state of Florida. 369 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: I would argue it looks like, at least from the 370 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: track and the cone that I'm looking at, and that 371 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: the reports we've been getting from Joe, you're looking at 372 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: at least sixty percent of the landmass of your entire state. 373 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: That is a lot of damage that's going to be left, 374 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: a lot of wreckage there. Yeah, that's right. And let 375 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: me tell you it's not just the strong because that's 376 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: the part you can see from the maps. It's the 377 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: tornadoes that spending off these tornado warnings. You know, I'm 378 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: getting tornado warnings that I'm in southeast Um, they're real. 379 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: Last night it slipped a couple of airplanes at at 380 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: a at an airport down here in Southeast Florida. And 381 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: so the tornado warnings, and there's lightning associated with this, 382 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: which is something you don't normally see with these storms 383 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: that are near the eye. A lot of lightning and 384 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: then tropical storm winds and these are fifty sixty miles 385 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: an hour wind guts that can blow some things over 386 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: to following people. So there's but people are We're already 387 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: seeing the power how to just start to climb. And 388 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: I just got off the phone with the theme of 389 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: Director and we talked a little bit about both re removal. 390 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot that goes into getting in 391 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: there now, removing the stuff off the street just so 392 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: the work crews can get in there. And we're grateful 393 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: to all the states and the crews that have come 394 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: in and are positioned and ready to go open. But 395 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: this thing is going to be going on for about 396 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: twenty four to forty eight hours over the state of 397 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: Florida before you can actually get into some of these 398 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: spots and start doing things. So yeah, I mean I've 399 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: been through a lot of them here in Florida, but 400 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: this one is unique and both power and scale. I 401 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: know the every state agency has been mobilized. I know 402 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: that you've been working on the federal level to get 403 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: all the help they you can get from the federal government. 404 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: I know neighboring states are on standby to help as well. 405 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: That would mean helping rescue people, helping get power back 406 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: up and running. But this is going to be long 407 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: and a drawn out process. I don't recall one being 408 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: exactly this bad that I can remember when this is 409 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: all said and done. I mean, are you getting any 410 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: reports maybe people were reluctant resistance, didn't want to heed 411 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: the warning. They're gonna, you know, batten down the hatches 412 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: and write it out. Are we getting any reports that 413 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: people are in danger right now? Well, we haven't. I mean, 414 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: there's we have. This is only just starting to happen, 415 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: and I think unfortunately, if some people are in danger 416 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: at this point, their ability to reach out maybe quite limited. 417 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: We know that there's been some emergency calls now made, 418 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: but this is We're just at the beginning of this thing. 419 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 1: I mean, we're going to be hearing it throughout the night, 420 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: and you talked about it. Is there anything not? Just 421 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: the problem with the storm is it's so many different communities. 422 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's ranging from software stored all the way 423 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: to northeast floor to all of which you're going to 424 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: get pretty substantive damage to be it from rain and 425 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: low lying areas and Central Florida's gonna get hammered too, 426 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: right all the way up by four. I would say 427 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: that it looks like the majority of the people who 428 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: were asked to leave the low lying areas. That's so unfortunate. 429 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: There are some people that did not worry about them 430 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: and how long it'll pick to get to them, because 431 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: it'll be a while before crews can actually operate safely 432 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: out there. But I think we are going to hear unfortunately. Look, 433 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: here's the saddest thing to say, and I say this, 434 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, without any sort of glee at all whatsoever, 435 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: very sad. There are people who are alive this morning 436 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: who are going to lose their lives in the storm 437 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of different reasons. You know, they're gonna 438 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: be in the wrong place at the wrong time, They're 439 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna get caught in an event. We know that it's 440 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: going to get deadly storm now, and also in the aftermath. 441 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: There's tremendous danger in the aftermath. A lot of people 442 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: get hurt afterwards, something falled on them. They're out there 443 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: doing work to remove things on their own and they 444 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: get hurt doing it that way. So and we certainly 445 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: don't want to see that happen. We want to minimize 446 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: that as much as possible. But right now, we're just 447 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: focused on this storm search event and to the extent 448 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: there are people that can don't move and any structures 449 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: like a mobile home or what have you convincing them 450 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: to do so because we just don't want anyone to 451 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: lose their lives over this as no need for it. 452 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: I hope people heed your warning. I know there was 453 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: a massive mobilization in the last couple of days to 454 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: over two and a half million Floridians were evacuated. That 455 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: is a lot. I know that you have a lot 456 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: of shelters throughout the state. Is there any place people 457 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: can go to online where they can find out where 458 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: they can get help and services or shelter where they 459 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: might be well. I've converted my website, which obviously my 460 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: campaign website, but we're not going to be doing that 461 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: right now. On the website I've converted at Marco Rubio 462 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: dot com. We're gonna be posting that information on there 463 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: as well as my Rubio dot senet dot gov website. 464 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: It will also be posting information on there regularly. I'll 465 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: be posting it on social media if you don't follow 466 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: me at Marco Rubio And again, this is just an 467 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: effort to communicate with people broadly. A lot of people 468 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: are going to be cut off from communication here shortly 469 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: if they don't have electricity, but if their mobile phones 470 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: are still working, they can access this and there'll be 471 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: a lot of work done. There will be people that 472 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 1: will not have a home to go back to, they 473 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: will not have the ability to get cast. They're going 474 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: to need assistance, and that's what SEMA and SBA for 475 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: Small Businesses is there to do. And my office has 476 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: always and will continue to sort of be on the 477 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: ground right away as soon as it's safe to do so, 478 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: helping people to process those claims and try to get 479 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: them assistance in those first few weeks after a storm 480 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: like this, because there will be lives that will be 481 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: disrupted and changed as the result of it. But right 482 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: now the key is saving lives. Get out of the 483 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: way if you still can, if you're not, if you 484 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: have to shelter and make the best of it at 485 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: this point, because the storm is here and it is 486 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: wrecking real habit and we've only seen the beginning. Oh, senator, 487 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: thanks for all your work. I think you're going to 488 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: be probably up for the next three weeks without any sleep. 489 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: Our prayers are with the people of Florida, the Free 490 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: State of Florida, and thank you for keeping everybody in 491 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: the loop in terms of everything. We will link to 492 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 1: your website and state websites, whatever is out there so 493 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: people can get any help and assistance. Will put it 494 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com if they forget uh Marco Rubio 495 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: dot COM's pretty easy to remember as well. Senator, thanks 496 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: for taking time. We want to I hope what's that, 497 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: sir no. I thank you for that, Shin, I really do, 498 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: because it's reaching people. You know, at this point is tough. 499 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: A lot, a lot of information out there. We're trying 500 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: to simplify it so people will know where they go 501 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: they can go after the storm per system. Yeah, it's disease. 502 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: Are pretty frightening times. This is a this is the 503 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: real deal. Anyway, Senator, thank you. I think we'll update. 504 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna call on to Hannity tonight. Will 505 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: full coverage obviously of this storm now hammering the state 506 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: of Florida. I mean a significant portion of it. The 507 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: damage is real. I'm seeing it. I'm getting videos from 508 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: people that are in the middle of it right now, 509 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: at the beginnings of it and it's just going to 510 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: get worse in the days and hours to come. Senator, 511 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. We appreciate it. We 512 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: pray for the all the people are friends in Florida. John, 513 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate that very much. Thank you. All right, thank you, sir. 514 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: Joe bustarting back with US meteorologists WeatherBell dot Com. We're 515 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: kind of closing out the hour. I just I really 516 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: want to focus again on where this is headed now. 517 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: You know, we hit landfall here and we got everywhere 518 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: from you know, Southwest Florida and Naples and Port Myers 519 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: and Sarasota and Tampa getting hammered, and you got you 520 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: got a pretty wide, a pretty you know, a lot 521 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: of landmask that's being affected by this. Now it's going 522 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: to all work its way towards the center of the state, 523 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: right through an over Orlando up into the northeast corridor 524 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. That's a lot of ground is going to cover. Yeah, 525 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: and they again the problem to outline this. While it 526 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 1: will be weakening going inland, relative to what these people 527 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: have experienced, its scoring it would probably be the strongest 528 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: on record around the Orlando area as far as wind 529 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: gusts go and the slow movement of the storm and 530 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: what's happened to the storm is again we talked about 531 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: on the show last night as to why we had 532 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 1: to wash the sun and intensification. They love to do that. 533 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Coming to the coast perpendicular, you see, it quite often 534 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: was an eyewall replacement. The eye was falling apart for 535 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: a while. It's like a fighter taking arrest and then 536 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: coming back stronger right after it. And of course the 537 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: coast that what happens, folks is I'd like to explain 538 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: this to people so they understand. They don't think it's 539 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: a mystery. The way the coast is shape. The storm 540 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: tightens up as it comes to the coast. It doesn't 541 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: really want to go inland, right, So the eyewall starts 542 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: tightening on the side of the storm that the storm's 543 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: moving toward, and that increases what we call convergence upward motion. 544 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: All the other stuff goes off, and so when a 545 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: storm will go inland, it will weaken and a weekend 546 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: pretty quickly. I you know, we're looking at a hundred 547 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: and forty five hundred and fifty mile an hour storm 548 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: at landfall probably backed off from the one fifty five 549 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll see when the data is all 550 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: And obviously it's devastating. You can't measure the difference in that. 551 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: But when it gets through a land it may just 552 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: be a minimal hurricane. But keep in mind, a minimal 553 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: hurricane taking twelve to eighteen hours to go through in Orlando, 554 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: Florida has not happened. And you know, I mean, we 555 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: got a big area there. And then as we get 556 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: to the coast. So we get to the coast right 557 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: and by that time, the bands of heaviest rains are 558 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: around the northern side of this storm, just lashing northeast 559 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: Florida and north central Florida and into that Saint john 560 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: We've reviewed this Saint John's River basin, one to two 561 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: feet of rain there, one to two feet on the 562 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: old coast Saint Augustine up towards Jacksonville Beach. The strong 563 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: northeast winds has already blown. The winds Augustin of forty 564 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: miles an hour on the northeast coast of Florida is 565 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: pushing water back in already. And then the storm starts 566 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: reintensifying a little bit tomorrow night and comes northward after that, 567 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: just offshore before it reaches the Carolinas. But you folks 568 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: up there in the path of this, once the warnings 569 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: go up, I think I think that the warnings you're 570 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,719 Speaker 1: going to start going up. Please you're seeing what's going on. 571 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: Take heed. If you live in the flood prone areas, 572 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: you've got to get out of this because the recovery 573 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: and no matter how much of an army we mobilize, 574 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: is going to be really slow with this, I think, 575 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: And that's what we want people warned about that. And 576 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: now every time people go, yeah, well I went through 577 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: a hurricane blah blah blah, No, this is a little 578 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: bit different. All right. We appreciate all the time you've 579 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: given us today.

Are the images I'm seeing from friends 586 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: of mine in Naples, in Sarasota in Fort Myers, and 587 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: now on Tampa. I mean, it's it's the real deal. 588 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: This is not everyday storm, and the the highest rift areas 589 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: are ranging from Collier County up to Sarasota County.

It's time to hunker down 593 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: and prepare for this storm. This is a powerful storm 594 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: that should be treated like you would treat if a 595 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: tornado was approaching your home.
