This just into our newsroom. 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:14.400 A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center. Another 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:20.360 apparently that was another plane seized. An airplane has crashed 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:25.960 into the World Trade Center. There appears to be a 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:31.000 gaping hole there. It goes there, it goes there, it 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:35.800 goes here, it goes but the full side has collapsed 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:52.839 at buildings by she to airplanes kept crashed into the 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:57.600 World Trade Center. This we're not going to be cowered 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:02.720 by it. That we're not afraid. All the freedom loving 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:08.360 nations of the world stand by our sasship. STIs route 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:14.200 to have the red, white, blue whiz TWI where we're 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.840 not glance so way brought to be a part of 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:24.480 this country. Jeer me, I think about the families children 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.640 to the play. Freedom itself was attacked and freedom will 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:35.919 be the fantasy east area westre here. Just when you league, 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:50.240 it might be just league by some FISI to raise 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.720 resolve of our great nation is being tested. She stands. 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.200 I prayed he didn't through the black and united for 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:06.560 three courage it's there. I means you under guarding larity 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:11.919 and then we will not forget the twenty eight hundred 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.760 people feel police and fire and not only were heroes 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.560 at the beginning, but they're still heroes. And with really, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.720 we're gonna come out of this emotionally stronger and the 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.040 commitment of our father, which is now the calling of 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:37.080 our time. By the bridge. Guys sitting more than anyone 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.880 ever expected over this truth. They missed with the wrong city, 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.840 they missed with the wrong station. St and I just 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:52.280 don't want people to forget they all have a sense 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:57.839 of duty to protect us. All well, you love, when 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:04.200 we step first in our determination, the rest of the 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:10.800 country now understand who the truth defenders are made Irish hills, 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:17.639 Korussian maker lakes and rivers. Blesses we see we made 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:23.639 the look of the Irish instrology. We've seen make the 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:31.639 blessings of Saint Patrick behoove, God blessed Ireland, and God 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:38.280 blessed the United States of America. She stills. Now America 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.880 is embracing a new ethic and a new creed. Let's 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.520 roll The phrase New York's Finest and New York's Bravest 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.120 mean something now, doesn't it. This is a time to 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.440 reflect and be thankful for where we are today. Through 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:04.440 we will rebuild New York City. She still yet after 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.080 America was attacked, it was as if our entire country 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.040 looked into a mirror and saw our better selves, and 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.960 saw our better selves. It's hard to imagine it's sixteen 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.400 years later. Um. I was just telling my team over 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.480 here that every time I hear that montage song that 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.840 was put together Jason, I know you did this years ago, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.720 it just gives me goose bumps. And everybody's I'm telling 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.040 you right now, I've already got text. I would need 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.520 a copy of that. We'll put it up on the website. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.480 We'll try and play it later in the program as well. Today. UM, 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.240 it is an amazing, sobering thing to hear all of 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.760 that to me every time. And I was I was 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.280 texting and emailing with a friend before the show today 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.000 and I'm like, you know, this person was in third 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.360 grade at the time that this happened, remembers the name 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.720 of the teacher, what was going on, what happened? And 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.840 you know, my daughter was born on August twenty nine, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.640 two thousand and one, just a few days obviously before 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.200 this happens. It's just I remember that day like it's yesterday, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.480 and it all comes rushing back, the memories. You know, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.880 it's um. I I wrote a book after this in 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.920 two thousand and four, Deliver Us from Evil. It is 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.599 such a hard thing for good people to wrap their 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:27.680 arms around around the concept that there really is evil. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:33.840 But there is there's there's darkness, There are people that 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.160 for whatever reason. You know, when when evil calls itself 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.600 a martyr, it just captures everything. That line in Michael W. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.880 Smith's song that is what radical is lamas they call that. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.279 They think they're martyrs. They tell their kids, drap bombs 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.440 on you go kill, go get yourself seventy two virgins 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:59.080 in heaven. It's pretty amazing that you can be so sick, 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.120 so do disgusting lye twisted and evil. You know, but 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.240 you think of a lot of human I remember walking 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.440 through the history of human evil in that book, saying, 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.520 all right, there's a hundred plus million souls that were 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:16.000 slaughtered in the last hundred years of human history. Nazi 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.920 Germany was evil, Nazism evil, fascism evil. You know, the 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:25.839 former Soviet Union under Stalin is evil. Radical Islam is evil. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.920 You know, the the latest evil here, you've got a 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.520 saber rattling madman you know, known as Kim Jong un, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.000 following in the heels of his father, Kim Jong il, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.440 you know, now has nuclear weapons because we are so stupid. 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.960 Bill Clinton said, well, this is a good deal for 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.800 the American Now, it's not a good deal to give 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:49.400 despots this guy's father billions of dollars with the promise 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.080 that all of a sudden they're gonna be good. There 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.520 are some people that are never gonna be good, and 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.440 the only thing they seemingly understand there is the use 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.320 of force. And it's hard for people to ask that. 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.600 You know, you think, on just a local human level, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.080 um isn't murder to some extent just pure evil? And 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.120 I'm not talking about self defense. I'm talking about you know, 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.880 somebody that can is so addicted to drugs, they can, 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.880 you know, beat up a grandmother, or shoot an innocent 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.040 person and kill the innocent person, or paralyze an innocent person, 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.320 or how does how does anybody abuse a child in life? 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.480 That's evil? Or the rape of a woman is pure evil. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.600 Then people have this on a small level, and governments 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.920 have at a large level. You know, America's Creed has 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.120 always been a stand up for goodness. And I think 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.280 back to that day and I think back, it's such 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.920 a shock. You know, then look at look at the 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.120 issue of billions and billions and billions of dollars transported 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.920 to Iranian mulus in the with the promise that they're 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.560 not gonna spin their center fuges and they're gonna allow inspections. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:01.080 It's it's a bad memory. It's like, what part of 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.760 of the North Korean deal didn't you understand to do 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.240 something that's stupid, and we're gonna end up one day 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.840 in the same situation we now find ourselves with North Korea. 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.960 There's no good options. You know. The next thing that's 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.440 probably gonna happen is you're gonna see the North Koreans 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.000 fire another i CBM or another missile that they want 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.120 to fire over Japan and more saber rattling all the 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.800 shoot this one towards Guam and America is gonna have 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.200 to take that sucker out of the sky. It's gonna happen. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.400 That's probably the next step. That would be what I'd anticipate. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.160 And then what's he gonna do then? And you know, 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.720 as Newts said, how do we know the next missile 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.439 he puts on the launchpad doesn't have a nuke on it. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.079 We have to assume the worst unless this guy opens 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.120 the door for inspections, which I don't see happening. So 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:52.920 then the result is, all right, we're gonna take out 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.920 his nuclear sights. We're gonna take these missiles off of 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.880 the launching pad. And then what is he gonna do? 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.200 Is he gonna, you know, attack South Korea? Is gonna 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.080 fire a missile, a real missile, a nuclear weapon at 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.800 Japan or China. And there's no good options here. And 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.160 that's there's gonna be no good options with I ran 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.600 either North Korea tonight, warning the US of the greatest 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.079 pain if the sanctions pass. All right, that's great. Also 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.640 a headline in the UK Telegraph, North Korea is secretly 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.439 helped by by Iran to gain nuclear weapons. According to 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:32.040 British officials, North Korea may launch another ballistic missile tomorrow, 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.400 and experts Warren is Kim Jong un plans to celebrate 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:40.120 the anniversary of his crazy kingdom's founding, and how you know, 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.199 we're literally naked. Then we have to incinerate them, and 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.320 then there's potential nuclear fallout, because God knows what's gonna 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.520 happen if we take out the nuclear sites, and then 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.880 there's the risk of retaliation, then there's the risk that 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.720 potentially millions of other people can die. You just gotta 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.400 you gotta grass this concept that there is evil. Now 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.160 on nine O we saw a pure evil, but we 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.760 also saw a goodness and a greatness in humanity that 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.520 we've never seen before. I mean, you think of the 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:14.160 bravery of the fireman, policeman, first responders, volunteers. All these 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.280 guys know that buildings surrounding them could probably collapse any minute, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.760 and they're literally on fiery rubble trying to find and 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.360 recover people that still might be alive. And then the 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.920 literally New York, not exactly known as the friendliest city 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:36.040 in the world. Every single person is uniting and literally 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.880 seven you know, I'd never forget Campbell's soup opened up, 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.160 Free soup for everybody, free food for everybody. Now went 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.640 on for a while, and everybody got that we have 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.719 an enemy, and we didn't address radical as long. We 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.920 had ignored the colbar towers, ignored the embassy bombings in 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.120 in Kenyan, Tanzania, we ignored the USS call. We ignored 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.320 the first Trade Center bombing, and we had to do something. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.800 You know. Recently, I was listening to Howard Stern's nine 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.720 eleven program and he's having as usual, great fun time, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.240 and then every minute it gets more serious and more 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.320 serious and more serious. And I guess, as program director 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.280 of station manager comes in, yeah, that the trade center 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.040 was hit, the second trade Center was hit. Oh yeah, 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.559 the Pentagon's hit. Oh a field in Pennsylvania, and you 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.360 just know it's a terror attack, you know, and you know, 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.560 I don't even want to call attention to it. It's 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.520 some politically incorrect things are said, and it's just like, 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.200 you know, we've lost touch and sight of the fact 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.520 that we do have enemies and forget about the differences 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.000 that we have. You know, we saw like, for example, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.400 I'm gonna show you looting video tonight. We'll give you 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.679 examples of price gouging that took place in Florida. But 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.120 that was the exception, not the rule. For the first time, 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.079 I'm the biggest, you know, small government conservative that you'll 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.520 ever meet, but government kind of stepped up and and 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.640 both in Texas and Florida, and it was kind of 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.680 cool to see state, local, federal government coordinating, having learned 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:09.280 the lessons of Katrina and and other failed hurricane operations, 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.920 and they prepositioned even Navy ships off the coast. They mean, 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.199 the President literally called in the Marines for a rescue operations. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.040 Thank god it moved west. The people cooperated. And then 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.480 you get a few idiots that, you know, do things 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.640 they never should have done. But the majority of people 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.840 got it. State government. Governor Scott got it. Governor Abbott 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.760 got it. You know, Pam Bondi got it, Dan Patrick 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.040 got it. The White House got it. They preposition food, water, 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:39.120 medicine cots, baby formula, pillows for everybody, and they were 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.000 ready to go. And thank god, it just wasn't quite 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.680 as bad as we thought it was gonna be. All right, 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:46.920 we got a lot of news today. We do have 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.200 North Korea news, We do have news out of Washington.

She's so dull, 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.920 she's so boring, and I think Bannon's I don't think 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.480 she's particularly bright. I want to take a minute today. UM, 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.560 it's a tough day all the way around. I mean, 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.200 it's the anniversary of nine eleven, sixteen years later Benghazi. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.320 Tonto peronto joins us later, UM, I want to ask 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.040 you all to keep a couple of people in your 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.840 thoughts and prayers, not only the people in Florida and Texas. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.200 Of course, we're going to continue to follow through.

Literally, in the 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.040 in the course of five hours, he had separated with 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.600 the Fox News Channel and was moving on and and 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.080 Troy Gentry, So you know, if you can keep Eric 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.320 Bowling in your prayers.

I just have a 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.800 hard time. I'm not the best person to deal with death. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.080 And it's just me. I It's hard. It's the hardest 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.640 thing you ever do. I mean, one thing I've learned 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.160 in the course of my life. And I just and 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.400 I've been writing with Eric all weekend and I just 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.720 you know, as I said, I don't know anyone that's 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.720 had except you know, all these parents that I've met 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.040 over the years that have lost their sons and daughters, 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.840 and I just remember looking at them and thinking to myself, 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.880 how do you go on? It's so hard? And they 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:17.160 do they endure, They fight through it, and but there's 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:22.720 nothing It changes you forever. And Eric lost his only son. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.560 Troy Gentry had helped us with a lot of our 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:31.640 freedom concerts and raising money and just an amazing talented, gifted, 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:37.080 and and generous human soul that I just had come 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.040 to love and and and really like a lot of 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.320 love their music forever. So in the course of your 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.240 day to day, as we pray for those military people 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.000 we lost as a result of nine eleven, and those 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.680 that have been injured, and the families that lost people 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.560 on nine eleven, and of course the families of of 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.200 the heroes at Benghazi, you know, please, I have to 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.200 ask you to keep Eric Bowling and Troy gen Free 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.480 in your prayers. All Right, we'll take a quick break, 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.560 we'll come back, and we'll continue. This is the Sean 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:14.560 Hannity Show. I can't say enough about how they have 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.720 shown up and they're continuing to show up to do 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.760 the right thing. Our military not only defends the freedom 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.919 of this country, but they show up when there's a crisis. 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.679 I just received a weather briefing on Tropical Storm Irma's 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.119 continued path through our state. It's been downgraded to a 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:34.760 tropical storm and sustain has sustained winds of sixty Here's 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.360 what we're seeing across our state. Storm search across south 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.959 and southwest Florida range from four to eight feet. Unrone 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.920 County experience into this ten ft of surgeon landfall. Miami 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.240 d experienced it per actually four ft of storm search. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.720 What's interesting about the storm searches is totally different than Andrew. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.440 A lot of us remember Andrew, and we didn't see 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.200 the storm surgeon. Andrew was a wind more of a 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.400 wind event. In Tampa, we're seeing two to four ft 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.720 of storm search right now and this will last route today. 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.080 Christine search of three to six ft along the Big Bend. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.280 But if you remember the Big Band and further in 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.760 the Panhandle last year and Irma got significant storm search 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.320 and we see we saw a lot of damage in 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.480 central in the in central Florida and the Lando area, 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.639 we're seeing flooding due to a torrential raindow more than 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.360 the foot in Jacksonville, Northeast Florida, storm search is three 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.200 to five ft on top of more than a foot 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.040 of rainfall, which is causing record and historical flooding along 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.119 the St. John's River. They also explained explained to me 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.240 this morning and the weather briefing that Hurricane uh Jose 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.880 is also pushing water into the northern part of our state, 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.240 which is which is preventing the water from flowing out 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.159 as fast. I spoke to Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry this 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.399 morning assured him the resources are being deployed. Fisher Wildlife 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.280 Commission immediately deployed three search and riscue teams with tweet 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.960 two officers and tin boats that were pre staged in 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.000 the reason into Jacksonville. We're gonna do everything we did. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.560 The way I look at is as governor and all 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.959 of us think this way. We want to keep everybody 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.120 safe to this storm, and want to keep everybody safe 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.280 back after this storm, and we get everybody back to 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.119 a normal life as quickly as possible. We've also deployed 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.920 a twenty person team from the State Emergency Operations Center 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.960 to the Emergency Operations Center and Putnam, Duval, and Clay 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.679 Counties in response to this historic flooding. We will continue 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.560 to send resources to Jacksonville and neither any other community 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:28.680 in need. Rainfall exceeding a foot in many communities in Northeast, 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:33.440 Central and Southeast Florida, Southwest Florida. Unfortunately, the heaviest raine 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:37.119 has cleared the state. However, this rain cause or flash 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.440 flooding in Northeast Florida. Rivers across the state continued to rise, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.520 and standing water remains an issue over the entire peninsula. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.439 The biggest threat for this week is EMA leaves Florida 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.080 will be river flooding, and most of that's going to 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.480 be in the northern part of the state. Sat A 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.920 Tune sat IT tune to local advisors for river flood 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.439 watches and warnings. Founilies in southeast and northwest Florida, as 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.719 well as the tamp Bay area need to be especially 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.600 vigilant as local rivers could remain in flood levels into 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.600 this weekend and we'll see We generally see that in 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:12.200 the I fourth corridor north the heat. The heaviest winds 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.879 have now left Florida. About the entire peninsula experience at 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.840 least tropical force winds, with Hurricane gus being felt as 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.760 far east and north as Jacksonville. Thankfully, the threat of 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.280 tornados is diminished. We've received seven reports of tornadoes, including 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.440 two in Bervard County. The National Weather Services working to 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.679 confirm these reports. Giving this weather report if your family 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.360 and you and your family have evacuated, it is extremely 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.720 important that you check with local officials before we return 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:41.680 home and make sure you can safely do do so. 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.840 Don't go back. Don't don't think just because this impact 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.440 you can run our past, you can run home. We've 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.320 got we've got down power lines all across the state. 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.640 We've got roads that are impassable to across across state. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:59.720 We've got debris all over the state. Our goal again 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:02.200 is don't put any more lives at risk. We already 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.040 went through this horrendous storm. Don't put your life at 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:10.400 risk because of downparal lines, debris, impassable roads. This point 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.320 and I had the opportunity to travel with the Course 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.200 Guard and Emerald Schultz to survey damage throughout the west 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.800 coast of Florida through the Keys. I want to thank 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:21.080 the Coast Guard for this opportunity. And here's what we saw. 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:26.080 We saw we saw the remnants of the storm search 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.399 along the west coast, but we didn't see what we 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:30.800 I didn't see the damage I thought I would see. 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.240 We clearly saw homes that were messed up. We clearly 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.679 saw roofs that were off. We clearly saw boats out 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:39.640 of the place and things like that. But I thought 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.680 we would see more damage. They're still flooding, they're still 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.560 standing on the roads and things like that. But on 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.040 the west coast. Uh, and this is confirmed by the 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.159 Mayor's I've spoken to the today. Uh, it's not as 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.520 bad as we thought the storm search would do. Now 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.280 when you get the keys. Uh, we were able to 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.639 fly into the Nibble station in Key West, which was 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.720 which as of just a few hours before we landed, 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.000 had signiffic water still al right twenty one now till 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.400 the top of the hour. That is Governor Rick Scott. 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.600 I gotta give a lot of credit to the governor 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:13.680 of state local officials again, just like in Texas. That 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.920 an amazing job federal government was there. I mean, you know, 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.560 the thing that they had prepositioned everything people would need. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.720 The people of Florida listened, I know, when a little 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:24.920 more westward than they thought, Oh why did I leave? 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.520 Because you're smart and you don't want to risk your life. 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.320 That's why you left, and you always air on the 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.600 side of caution. This this was a massive storm, and 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.639 you know, the President even called in the Marines for 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.120 m rescue operations. Uh. One thing I want to warn 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.399 everybody about. The Governor mentioned there's Jacksonville, Florida w o 0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:45.720 k v OR affiliate down there. They're warning people in 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:49.199 evacuation zones A and B along the St. John's River 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.480 to get out because the rivers at historic flood levels 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.000 likely to get worse right now as we speak, and 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.040 so I think people are doing that. Um it's still 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:03.320 a tropical storm as it now heads north, and still 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:04.840 a lot of people are going to be impacted by 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.640 the storm. We have yet to really get the true 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.040 damage of all of this. Um I. I love the 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.680 fact that four Navy ships and marines were redeployed to 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.880 help the people in Florida, and including, by the way, 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:22.760 the main support force, the twenty six Marine Expeditionary Unit 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.600 based out of Campbell June, North Carolina. All those marines 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:29.000 all sent down, they're all ready to help people. Seven 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.639 million plus people without power in Florida as we speak. 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.080 And Uh, then of course you got the people that 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.439 just you know, just jerks. At least thirty two looters arrested. 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:41.200 We've got some of that video will show you tonight 0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.280 thieves prompted a swat standoff in the middle of all this, like, 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.200 this is what the this is what we need law 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.800 enforcement to have it have to deal with. Job as 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:52.200 starts with WeatherBell dot com. Um, where does this rank 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:56.160 in terms of storms that we have experienced in the country, Well, 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.920
