Great weather here, but terrible weather in Southwest 7 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.320 Florida and more. And you've heard all the weather reports. 8 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.280 I'm obsessing over it because of the greatness of iHeartMedia 9 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.519 and Tony Bender. They've built out for me a wonderful 10 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.280 studio in Southwest Florida, so I can do a few 11 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.399 shows from down there, especially on Sunday night. But nonetheless, 12 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.000 there's a panic mode going on because there's some fatigue 13 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.399 setting and I'm ready to panic. Bill ver Dunk is 14 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.600 one of the top one or two real estate agents 15 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.560 and call your county also Lee County. He's headquartered right 16 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.960 there in Naples, Florida. Bill ver Dunk, Welcome again to 17 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.960 the Bill Cunningham Show. I know your wife is deep 18 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.039 connections to the Tri State, coming from northern Kentucky. But 19 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.280 can you tell the American people this Wednesday afternoon, what's 20 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.560 happening now in Naples, Florida. What's happening in Lee County, 21 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.920 What's happening in Sarasota, what's happening on cedar Key, what's 22 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.319 happening everywhere in southwest Florida? 23 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.920 Give us a full report. 24 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.840 Full report. Is everyone's been prepping for this since Sunday. 25 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.920 There's been more prep than I've ever seen for hurricane. 26 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.920 People are stand bag hurricane shuttered, they are moving furniture, 27 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.680 they're putting everything on blocks. There's been a lot of 28 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.200 prep for this storm. So it could be a big one. 29 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.000 And you know, nobody's taking anything lately here right now. 30 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.560 As far as what happened with Helene, there was a 31 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.239 little bit of an effect, but I watched Fox New, CNN, 32 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.879 the weather channels. People are going nuts. There's entire communities 33 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.439 in the Sarasota area, cedar Key wiped out completely, and 34 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.120 now here two three weeks later, a similar events taking 35 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.719 place that might be worse. Is there a sense of 36 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.760 hurricane fatigue happening in southwest Florida? 37 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.200 You know, it's the price of paradise down here. If 38 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.719 you're going to be down here. Hurricane have been happening 39 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.599 for thousands of years. I mean, you're not stopping them. 40 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.799 They're gonna keep coming. You know, if you live on 41 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.280 the water and you be prepared and prepared and you're 42 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.680 in a flood zone. I mean, I have customers calling me, Hey, 43 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.560 if we get through this, I'm going to think about 44 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.960 selling and moving a little bit inland, you know. But 45 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.120 other people are going to move right back on the 46 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.360 water because people like being on the coast, they like 47 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.280 being at the beach, and you know, as soon as 48 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.520 it gets cooled up north, they're coming back down. 49 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.439 As far as you're you have deep connections to the 50 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.479 Try stay through your wife and things of that character. 51 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.000 And tell the American people you live on a little 52 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.919 tributary called the Gordon River, very close to Bears Paul. 53 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.680 In fact, it's on the border. And the last time 54 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.560 you had some flooding happening with Ian. Explain what happened 55 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.639 with Ian, how it relates to Milton. 56 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.080 Well Ian and Milton looked very very similar. It's coming 57 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.199 in on a track north of here, and it's the backside, 58 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.919 the dirty side of the storm that creates the surge 59 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.120 and the river. I tell you what. Right now, the 60 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.120 real news is it has been raining here for three 61 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.560 days straight. Everything is super saturated, most saturated I've ever 62 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.120 seen it. What happens is when the tide comes in 63 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.879 and pushes against that river, it creates the flooding pushing outward. 64 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.759 I mean that tributary drains about one hundred miles inland. 65 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.240 I mean it goes all over the place and drain 66 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.840 thousands of new communities, and it just it creates a 67 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.400 lot of back pressure, goes into Naples Bay and then 68 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.120 pushes out. The same thing happens in Lee County on 69 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.680 the Clusahachie, and that's even a bigger river. And you 70 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.479 know that's what happens to the storm starts come in, 71 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.199 the rivers push outward, and there's there's so much standing 72 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.280 water right now pre hurricane. Have never seen this much water, 73 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.400 and since I've been down here for the last twenty 74 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:44.919 two years. 75 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.039 So let's focus on that. 76 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.879 I watched CNN this morning and they had the reporter 77 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.280 standing in and around Fifth Avenue the man dragged there 78 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.879 in which there about ankle deep in water as we speak, 79 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.599 because of the eight inches of rain that has fallen 80 00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:58.800 the past three days. 81 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.680 Has that can you recall. 82 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.599 Whether it was Ian or whether it was Helene, that 83 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:07.280 you had large standing water in Naples and in Collier 84 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:08.960 County before the hurricane came. 85 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.800 Never had this much standing water before the hurricane. I 86 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.040 mean it has been raining for days straight. There is 87 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.000 They were coming down my street yesterday with the pump 88 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.360 truck trying to pump out the ditch it to keep 89 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.639 the sewers flowing. I mean, there there is more never 90 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.279 I've never seen that before. There's there is more standing water. 91 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.120 I mean there's a lot of water coming down those 92 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.839 rivers against the storm sert. So I mean that's the 93 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.000 big question. Is it's going to push out And if 94 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.279 this thing hits at high tide, which is about four 95 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.199 oh seven in the morning, it's supposed to be two 96 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.600 point at eight seven feet above mean low tide. When 97 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.199 it's hitting, it's the backside that brings the storm, and 98 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.240 when it first hits it typically pushes water out. But 99 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.800 the way this is looking, it's going to push water 100 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.079 out up in Tampa and Sarasota, and then it's gonna 101 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.920 come in coming afterward. And it's that I'm shore. When 102 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.959 that pushes the water out, it's going to fight the 103 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:07.560 rivers and I'm expecting I'm expecting a major storm. 104 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.199 Serve and Bill Verdonk to High Titus four oh seven am. 105 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.600 What time will this morning or tonight? I guess tonight 106 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.279 early morning. Ours is the major impact of Milton, say 107 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.680 in Lee County, then in Sarasota County. I have many 108 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.319 friends in Sarasota that have homes there. And one of 109 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.920 the guys that got a hold of his insurance carrier 110 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.920 and the insurance expired on his home on October the first, 111 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.720 and they're not writing new insurance in the state of Florida. 112 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.360 Like a good neighbor, State Farm is not there. And 113 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.600 State Farm said, we're not writing any new policies. 114 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:41.399 Have you seen that? 115 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.959 Go see of your experiences in real estate and insurance 116 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.279 companies and now leaving Florida. 117 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.000 Well, we've had a lot of companies lee Florida, and 118 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.480 we've had a lot of new companies move into Florida. 119 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.120 And so what happened is just called a hurricane in 120 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.079 a box. Whenever there's a name storm in a box. 121 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.720 They stopped writing new insurance. Best advice is never let 122 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.000 your insurance expire when there's a hurricane coming. Keep your kid. 123 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.759 They have to renew you, but do not let it expire. 124 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.199 All my real estate contracts have a they have a 125 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.720 clause in them which was put in during these storms, 126 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.560 so they can't force people to close on a damaged 127 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.879 house or without insurance that you have seven more days 128 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.319 after insurance and stated to close on a house. So 129 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.040 I mean, you know if he let his insurance go 130 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.759 or wasn't able to get it. I mean, we had 131 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.160 this happened last We had this happened last week with 132 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.680 Ali and they stopped writing insurance. They opened insurance up 133 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.160 on Monday and Kylier in Lee County and they closed it. 134 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.560 They closed it up on Friday, so there was a 135 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.319 window to write. 136 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:48.959 You got five days to ensure your million dollar property. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Hey, 137 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.879 what about emergency. There's been an emergency declared in Lee County, 138 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:59.279 Sarasota and also Charlotte and also Naples, and you're physically present. 139 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.079 Can you explain why there's an emergency being declared yet 140 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:03.920 you're still. 141 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:07.360 Present right now? There's a tornado warning came in right 142 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.240 before you called me, So that's the tonado. There's tornado 143 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.800 setting down, there's wind. I mean, this storm, this storm 144 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.040 is actually starting. And the crazy thing is it doesn't 145 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.319 look any different in the last three days as it's 146 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:20.360 been pouring here. 147 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.959 As far as the status, as far as leaving, what 148 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.879 happens if you declare a state of emergency. I know 149 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.360 there's thousands and thousands of men and women not leaving, 150 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.439 including Mugs. I love Mugs and Tony from Soprano from 151 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.959 New Jersey. Those guys aren't leaving. You're not leaving. What 152 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:39.480 happens if you have a crisis? 153 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.439 Number one? Why aren't you leaving? 154 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.879 Well, my house is eight feet above sea level approximately, 155 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.920 and I'd rather it's a concrete block house that storm shutters. 156 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.439 I got a boat on the side of the house. 157 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.120 You know, I'm fifty years old. I can walk out 158 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:56.639 of there if I need to. I've got a boat 159 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.199 on the side of the house. I can drive out 160 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.959 of there if I need to. It's right to the house. 161 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.800 And I'm not leaving because I don't want to go. 162 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.199 I'd rather fight the water. I flood dams. I'll spray 163 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.959 phone my doors closed. You know, it's to stop the water. 164 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.360 You know. I don't want to do that until I 165 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.399 have to, and so you know, you know, and quite frankly, 166 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.959 I like riding the storm out. I mean, I find 167 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.759 it interesting. The state of emergency means if you're in 168 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.759 that area. They will not come and help you until 169 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.240 the storm is over. They put a ban on when 170 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.040 the wind hits fifty miles an hour, they won't dispatch 171 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.840 the emergency vehicles and they won't help you. It means 172 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.039 you are on your own, and so they you know, 173 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.759 it's funny the news changes. They tell you you don't 174 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.639 have to leave. They said, at this point, you're staying, 175 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.720 and they start issuing an entirely new set of news. 176 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.480 It's actually very very interesting. It goes from we know, 177 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.960 it goes from get out of here to we know 178 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.279 you're not leaving, and this is what you should do. 179 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.639 And you know, hopefully you got some good neighbors and 180 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.000 a team. But if you're older, if you have health problems, 181 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.320 if you have issues, you should not be here. 182 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.159 Well, I have a call coming up later with Mayor 183 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.480 Dan Allers, who's the mayor of Fort Myers Beach, and 184 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.279 I talked to him yesterday and the mayor told me, well, 185 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.559 you know, Ian was terrible. We had a five or 186 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.320 six foot storm surge went over the top of Santa Bell, 187 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.200 went over the top of my community of Fort Myers Beach, 188 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.120 and so we started to rebuild it took us two years, 189 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.559 and then two weeks ago we had Helene had two 190 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.000 to three feet of storm surge over the top of 191 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.200 Fort Myers Beach, over the top of the Keys, over 192 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:35.200 the top of Santa Belle. He said, now we're anticipating 193 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.200 an eight to twelve foot surge over the top of 194 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.320 Fort Myers Beach. Would you buy real estate on Fort 195 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:41.879 Myers Beach? 196 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.159 You know I would buy. You know, Fort Myers Beach 197 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.320 is top, you know if you're in. But I have 198 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.080 to tell you, Southwest Florida preparing for this for a 199 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.799 long time. Most of the damage you see is an 200 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.000 older building, you know. The new buildings, they're building them like. 201 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.120 They're building them like piers. They're driving pilings and we're 202 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.159 in concrete straight to the limestone. They're putting all the 203 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.679 utilities on the roof. Like I think that every building 204 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.080 in Fort Myers Beach, if you're gonna buy one, you're 205 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.840 looking for a building that you know, you're fifteen feet high, 206 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.600 you're twenty feet high, and newer construction that can handle 207 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.519 this stuff. And most of the newer buildings were just fine. 208 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.759 The older ones, the stuff lower, it's you know, it's 209 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.320 they're not built for this, So I mean you're looking 210 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.480 for newer construction that can handle the storm. 211 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.840 Now I have friends like Tony Bender's got multi million 212 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.600 dollar condos kind of on the beach, which is of course, 213 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.960 west of US forty one, and they're on the beach. 214 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.399 You're about a quarter of a mile from the beach. 215 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.240 He's on the ninth or tenth floor of a multi 216 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.080 million dollar condo project, looking left and right. Been there 217 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.960 about ten years. It's all great. If you're a quarter 218 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.279 of a mile from the ocean, come tonight or tomorrow, 219 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.600 and and Fort Myers or in Naples, what are you 220 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.480 looking at. 221 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.120 You're gonna be on an island. You're gonna see the 222 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.879 water surround you and you can't go anywhere. So you 223 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.600 are stuck. I mean, nobody's coming to you and you 224 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.240 can't go anywhere. It's a scary feeling when when the 225 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.480 when the water surrounds you, because now you are stuck 226 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.679 in the building. Typically in a building like that, they're 227 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.399 going to bring the elevators up. They're going to shut 228 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.840 the power down to the elevators. I mean, if you're 229 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.600 on the tenth floor and you need to come down, 230 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.000 you got to walk down eleven flight of stairs. I mean, 231 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.399 it's a scary situation. 232 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.120 And in the dark, and it's hot right right now, 233 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.720 the temperates are in Naples is about eighty degrees and 234 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.919 it's hot, and there's no electricity once that happens. 235 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.960 Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. If you can't handle 236 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.240 no electricity, if you have a medical problem, if you 237 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.840 need to plug something in, you're in a bad spot. 238 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.759 How long is there a sense that that the condos 239 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.600 on the beach is going to be days before electricity? 240 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.080 How bad will it be? Tony Bender's got a big 241 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.120 investment there and that it's called the Provence. He's got 242 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.919 a major investment about seven floors up. How long will 243 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:57.159 it be? 244 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.799 I'll tell you what, Governor of the Santas, the counties here, 245 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.320 they do a fantastic job with the power. I've never 246 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.480 seen power out for more than four or five days 247 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.399 down here, and typically forty eight hours, you know, typically 248 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.159 forty eight hours. So, and that's when the tough part 249 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.799 comes in because now after the hurricane, the temperature goes 250 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.279 back up to eighty five degrees and if you don't 251 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.320 have air conditioning and you can't handle that, it's a 252 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:25.000 tough one. 253 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.720 What do you do with the alligators, the snakes, and 254 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.840 the critters, Because when the water rises from the bays 255 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.120 filled with alligators. I know some people like to wrestle them. 256 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.879 I'm not one of them. Do you have to concern 257 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.879 yourself with snakes, bugs, and alligats? 258 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.240 Oh? Yeah, and oh there's one point two million alligators 259 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.200 in the state of Florida. I mean they are everywhere, so, 260 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.720 I mean when the water comes up, they're swimming around. 261 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.759 The hurricane's not going to hurt them. They are built 262 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.559 for this. They can go under the water, they can breathe, 263 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.159 and they What happens is when their environment gets flooded, 264 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.440 they're moving around. They're going everywhere. So you got to 265 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.279 be careful from the snakes and alligators. 266 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.919 Well they're looking for lunch too, kind of like cats 267 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.840 and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. You got to be careful. 268 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.080 So you're not going to walk out and uh and 269 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.360 knee deep water. You're not going to be walking around 270 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.879 out of your palatial estate there on the Gordon River 271 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.039 in Naples when this happens. 272 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:17.240 You're not going to walk around, are you? 273 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.240 I mean I walk around because you know, I've you know, 274 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.120 I've I've been out in the Everglades for years. You 275 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.679 know the but you know I don't recommend it, but 276 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.240 I will for sure be walking around. 277 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.360 Well this is unbelievable. 278 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.159 But I'll say this, Bill Verdonka real estate agent, and 279 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.240 call your county. I've said this to Tony Bender and others. 280 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.759 It's time to panic. Does panic helpital I feel I'm 281 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.679 in panic mode. 282 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.159 I think you need to be you know, when stuff 283 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.519 gets crazy, you got to be calm, and you need 284 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.120 to make smart decisions. I can't, I can't trouble. 285 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.679 I can't, I can't, I can't well. 286 00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:59.639 At the end of the day, you just you got 287 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.120 to keep on trucking. And if you're gonna stay, you 288 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.240 gotta ride this out. If you're if you're not gonna stay, 289 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.919 it is. And if you're worried or any issues or 290 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.559 the authorities. If you're in a velocity zone, if you're 291 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:12.720 right on the beach, there's just something called the eighty 292 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.799 flood zone. If you're in that velocity zone, I think 293 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.919 you should evacuate. The shelters open everywhere. You know you're 294 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.840 better off in your car in lens. You know you 295 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.919 don't need to be right where that is hitting where 296 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:24.799 we are up the Gordon River, we're in Zone B. 297 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:28.159 That so that's and so that that's a little bit 298 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.960 safer Zone A and the velocit zone. I mean, that's 299 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.759 the trouble factor right now. They're evacuating A and B. 300 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.039 And just like I said, any problems, they're not coming 301 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:37.480 to help you. 302 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.639 Bill Verdunk, you're on your own.

The mayor Dan Allers, I hit him on 357 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.920 about two years ago, and he listens to me nightly 358 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.920 when I'm on Sunday nights on Premier in Fox Radio, 359 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.559 and so he's a listener and he said, like, I'll 360 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:15.680 take your call, which we're going to talk to the 361 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.160 mayor of Fort Myers Beach which it may be subjected 362 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.559 to a ten to fifteen foot surge, which would once 363 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.799 again develop the island coming up later also as an 364 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.480 expert on what's being taught to your kids in grade 365 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.200 school in high school. By the time you show up 366 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.160 at college, like at Columbia or Ohio State or U 367 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.960 See or whatever it might be, you've generally had been 368 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.519 so indoctrinated with the status of this country that you 369 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:42.839 don't recognize reality. You're being taught by the radical left 370 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.839 teachers of the teachers' unions and elsewhere that America is 371 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:51.839 divided between the oppressed and the oppressors. That somehow the 372 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.440 Jews are oppressed only in Israel, but in America the 373 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.680 Jews are the oppressors because Jews are predominantly white skin, 374 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.920 although about one third do not, the educational establishment inside 375 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:09.160 of Americans considers them they choose to be oppressers somehow, 376 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.759 and that if you're straight, male, Christian, married, my God, 377 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.720 are you an oppresser irrespective of your own status in life. 378 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.359 And that's what's being taught. You know, These college kids 379 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.759 don't show up at Columbia or Harvard or Ohio State 380 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.519 were free and open minds, ready to thirst for knowledge. No, No, 381 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:29.119 they're already been indoctrinated about what's wrong with this country? Sexist, racist, homophobes, 382 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.160 you know, the fifteen nineteen project. They're being taught things 383 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.519 about a country fundamentally untrue. So by the time the 384 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.640 college kids show up, they may go in with a 385 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.640 skirt and a sweater on, they come out with hooked 386 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.000 noses and wearing men's clothing, and the orientation then is complete, 387 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.559 and they march into the world. They take over with 388 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.559 those viewpoints. They hate the country, which is why those 389 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.559 who volunteer for the military is way down. Those who 390 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.039 volunteer to become a police officer's way down. Those who 391 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:01.759 want to be firefighters, corrections officers, highway ConTroll Kentucky, Indiana, 392 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.039 Ohio way down. It's hard to find people. Number one, 393 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:06.680 I want to work and number two want to join 394 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.079 law enforcement. Every cop has been brandished with the sins 395 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.960 and crimes of George Floyd, and therefore it's difficult to operate. 396 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:21.039 And so the Palestinians are the oppressed and the Jews 397 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.839 of the oppressors, irrespective of facts. And so my guest 398 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.480 after one o'clock addresses that issue that after two o'clock 399 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.799 will be will be Mayor Dan Allers of Fort Myers beach. 400 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.000 According to the Weather Channel, there's going to be a 401 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.960
