You know, I agree, that's a 30 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.560 whole other story. That's a whole other radio show. 31 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.760 Did you watch did you watch this recent debate to Yeah, 32 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:26.920 you just get frustrated. 33 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.920 Yeah, I mean, it's it's what I thought of all along. 34 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:29.319 There is. 35 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.439 There are a few reasons I decided to throw my 36 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.719 hat in the ring. And even though it was you know, 37 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.120 I was the last one to join the race, I 38 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.040 knew it was a heavy lift, and I know he 39 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.159 was going against one of the most entrenched political people 40 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.519 in the country, Adam Schiff, And. 41 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.319 Well, I thought, you're talking about Katie Porter, you know. 42 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:48.879 I mean, I think the reason I even wanted to 43 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.040 try or go for it is because I was interviewing 44 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.000 him and I just felt like the answer I was 45 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.120 getting was so disingenuous, and so that was one of 46 00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.439 three reasons I decided to run. 47 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.719 But watch this debate. 48 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.280 You know, ten million dollars was spent on ads to 49 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.719 elevate Steve Garvey so that he would be in the 50 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.879 final two. Because Adam Schiff knew that if Steve Garvey 51 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.800 was in the final two, he would have mathematically zero 52 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.520 shot of winning in this state as a Republican. Now, 53 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.759 I do think people are leaning more and more red. 54 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.479 We're seeing more people register as Republican. There's been a 55 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.400 shift towards the right as we've had all these issues 56 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.680 we've been dealing with as a state, rent immigration and crime. However, 57 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.879 the numbers just aren't there still, And I don't think 58 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.039 Garvey has the chop like he doesn't really when you 59 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.280 see him debate, you're not particularly inspired. 60 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.000 I wasn't inspired by him. I felt like that his 61 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.280 heart's in the right place. But we need more than 62 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.120 that for somebody to be a candidate, especially to beat somebody, 63 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.479 like you said, politically entrenched the way Adam Schiff is 64 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.479 with the support of the National Party, the way he has, right, 65 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.919 you gotta have somebody who's going to be sharp as attacked, 66 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.240 sharper than attacked. 67 00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.319 And unfortunately he doesn't know much policy. 68 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.360 I know in a previous debate they said, can you 69 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.039 name one regulation you would change if you were elected 70 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.439 to the US Senate And he couldn't name it. And 71 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.639 you know, I was screaming at the television sequa, it's sequa, 72 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.759 you know, just you know it's a he doesn't really know. 73 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.360 So you've turned it into my grandmother and started yelling 74 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:15.759 at the time. 75 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.639 That's where I'm at in my life. 76 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.000 Yeah, but I must say he was very spicy in 77 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.199 this recent debate. He had one quote where Schiff was 78 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.240 talking about Diane Feinstein and Garvey goes, well, you're no 79 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:28.400 Dianne Feinstein. 80 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.360 So he said yes. Now, that moment actually was kind 81 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.280 of funny because I felt like it was a to 82 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.520 use a baseball analogy, it was a foul ball, like 83 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:42.159 Adam Schiff tied that thing up, and Steve Garvey knew 84 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.840 that that like he could see it coming right, but 85 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.639 he couldn't quite put the ball in play. And then 86 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.400 he said, you're no Dianne Feinstein. And then Adam Schiff 87 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.479 was like, oh, he left it on the field. Maybe 88 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.719 I can pick it up. And he said, well, I 89 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.680 knew Diane Feinstein. I was friends with Diane Feinstein. But 90 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.520 then he couldn't land the punchline either, because it didn't 91 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:03.039 work that way. 92 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.479 He said something like, you know, I remember when California 93 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.759 used to be the heartbeat of America and now it's 94 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.479 just a murmur. And his delivery was actually kind of funny, but. 95 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.160 He practiced that. He did quite a bit. 96 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.920 Hey guys, good morning. I just started listening a little 97 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.959 late this morning, so I'm taking a shot in the 98 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.879 dark here, but I want but the say congratulations on 99 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.000 I shouldn't get in Christina's Pascucci to fill in with 100 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.360 U with Gary today for Shannon.

This is the first time that I've 123 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.160 ever been scared during a storm. True, I mean really 124 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.360 like really scared, really nervous. Every other time it's like, Okay, 125 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.199 well it's going to come and it'll go and nothing's 126 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.399 going to happen. But yeah, we were very anxious. 127 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.519 We were in the cone on the north side of 128 00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:00.959 the Eye and it was just relentless seven plus mile 129 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:08.199 an hour wind and gusts and constant rain for six 130 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.240 or seven hours. The backyard was flooded, but no damage 131 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:15.959 to the house for fortunately. 132 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.680 George had to empty the pool about seven or eight 133 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.959 times in the pouring young rain. 134 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.040 Oh my gosh. 135 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.639 Not a wise move.

I 142 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.519 had never realized how big of a part of a 143 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.759 storm a hurricane tornadoes are. Was this more active than 144 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.199 what you had seen in the past in terms of 145 00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.519 the tornadic activity. 146 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.560 Uh, we were fortunate here Toanellas County that I don't 147 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.399 recall seeing one tornado warning in Tanellas County, which is 148 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.879 Saint Pete Clearwater all the way up to tarp and Springs. 149 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.600 The tornado activity seemed to be east of us, in 150 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.680 areas like Hillsboro and Polk County, and there were many, yeah, 151 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.279 many of them serious uh tornadoes, but I don't know 152 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.360 what the damage was. 153 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.680 More than one hundred tornado warnings and I think twenty 154 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.199 twenty at least confirmed sightings of tornadoes, and unfortunately a 155 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.040 few people died as a result. 156 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.040 What is what is the city or the county told 157 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.600 you in terms of if you need to reach out 158 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.800 for help, how, how how available is it to you? 159 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:59.000 As far as we know, there was non stop uh 160 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:04.480 from that came over the local news news stations. 161 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:04.959 Uh. 162 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.519 The weathermen here were great. 163 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:08.000 Uh. 164 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.079 The information and the ticker that at the bottom of 165 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.600 the screen always told you where the shelters were, which 166 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:23.240 ones were open, when to leave, and UH just so 167 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.759 much information was coming at us that it was it 168 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.519 was really quite calming actually in the face of all 169 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:31.839 of this. 170 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.440 Uh.

The first responders stayed out 179 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.559 on the street until the wind gusts got to where 180 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:14.799 it was dangerous and they were ordered to themselves seek shelter.

Yeah, get a cocktail time. 199 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.919 I will tell you we have a wonderful lunai and 200 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:36.320 pool situation. And believe me, listeners, this is really paradise here. 201 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:37.679 Except for hur. 202 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:44.919 Little details, and you know, the Luni is still standing. 203 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.240 Good. 204 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.320 It's just amazing. So hey, guys, thank you. 205 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.159 Yeah, I can't wait. 206 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.279 I'm glad you guys are safe. I was really worried. 207 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.919 Thank you again, Shelley and George Rosenberg there family friends 208 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.720 from from Saint Petersburg. It is funny there is so 209 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.879 George mentions it's paradise with the exception of hurricanes. Franklin 210 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.440 Graham said, the weather's been great this week. I mean, 211 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.000 he's in the Carolina, so it's different. But I wanted 212 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.840 to point out, well, there was a Category four hurricanes. 213 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.759 Yeah, but anyway, Well it's crazy how I mean, Helene 214 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.159 just you know, ravaged the area and it's almost a 215 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.639 distant memory like Helen West. 216 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.440 Still three point four million people without power in the 217 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:32.279 state of Florida. Roofs of roofs, roofs have been what's 218 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.639 the plural of roof I think he got it. Roofs 219 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.879 ripped off from coast to coast. One of one of 220 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.679 those was the roof that's over trop againa Field Baseball 221 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.879 Stadium in Saint Petersburg. 222 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:44.759 Yeah, it's crazy. 223 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.519 A lot of places, Sarasota, Fort Myers, all their Gulf 224 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.360 Coast communities under water, flooded by up to a six 225 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.840 foot storm surge. In some areas, they're talking about tornadoes 226 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.759 that touch down. One of them leveled the Saint Lucy 227 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.879 Sheriff's Department facility. The death toll the last I saw 228 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.039 was four. They're saying at least four because they still 229 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:08.120 have some people that are unaccounted for that they're concerned 230 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.840 a fall. I guess. Follow up to Hurricane Helene a 231 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.559 couple of weeks ago, Remember it wasn't that long ago. 232 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.759 A North Carolina man lost eleven family members killed in 233 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.240 a landslide that was caused by that hurricane. This thirty 234 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.720 five year old guy, his name is Jesse Craig. He 235 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.679 lost his parents, he lost aunts and uncles, a great aunt, 236 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:36.120 and several cousins died in an area of his town 237 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:40.759 that everybody known as everybody knows as Craig Town because 238 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.840 his family had been there for so long. 239 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:44.799 Imaginable. 240 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.799 Yeah, and I think that's an important reminder of just 241 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.039 how people are grappling with Hurricane Helene. Still we had 242 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.519 on in the first hour the president of Smaritan's Purse, 243 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.440 an organization that's doing incredible work there on the ground 244 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.440 to still aid in recovery efforts. Are still so many 245 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.360 people missing, and the news cycle moves on to Milton, 246 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.559 and so you kind of forget the tragedy of Helene. 247 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.120 It is not even close to being over, and then 248 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.759 you hear stories like that one you just shared it, 249 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.399 and it breaks your heart. So it's important to support 250 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.120 the people who are on the ground, like Samaritan's Purse, 251 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.240 who were doing that good work. 252 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.000 Samaritanspurse dot Org. So you can do that, Lieutenant Dan. 253 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:29.320 Obviously we all remember Gary Sinice's character from from Forrest Gump, right, 254 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.000 missing both legs. This guy's not missing both legs, but Lieutenant. 255 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:34.840 Dan, he's missing one leg. 256 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.519 Is Joseph Malinowski, fifty four year old guy did not 257 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.320 want to leave. By the way, he survived. I mean, 258 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.440 spoiler alert, he's alive and he's fine. He made it 259 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.399 through the night. But this is a guy lives on 260 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.600 his sailboat, and he did not want to leave Tampa, 261 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.559 and it looked like he was gonna. I mean, it 262 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.639 looked pretty sketchy there for a while, him living on 263 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.000 a sailboat overnight, banging up against the dock that he 264 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.879 was moored up to. And and he's fine. This is 265 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.559 just an idea of what they were dealing with yesterday. 266 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:05.799 With you right now, I'm right now. 267 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.200 Don't get me wrong. If I start bouncing around and 268 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.559 I start hearing things crack and break, I'm getting the 269 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:12.600 hell out of here. I don't fear the storm, I 270 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.799 don't hear anything but the government, the police, the mayor, 271 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.080 everybody's trying to get me to leave in the worst way. 272 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.639 I wish they would leave me alone. If nobody saw 273 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.799 me on TikTok, I'd be out here by myself right 274 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.080 now doing the same thing I'm doing right now, just 275 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.200 sitting here. They don't do anything to help you. They 276 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.639 just tell you that you have to leave, that it's 277 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.720 a blood zone or whatever, and that you have to evacuate. Well, 278 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.600 where am I supposed to go and how am I 279 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.639 supposed to get there? I don't have a car, I 280 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.480 don't have anywhere to go. And then you tell me 281 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.799 you're going to put me in a shelter. I'm not 282 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.919 going to a shelter. I've beenish shelters and I see 283 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.759 what goes on, and I'm doing my own thing. And 284 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.240 if I'm merging my life and so be, I'm again 285 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.840 I'm in God's hands. 286 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.759 Mayor Jane cast There in Tampa had yesterday said in 287 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.000 her attempts early in the day to get everybody that's 288 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.639 going to if you're going to stick around, please go 289 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.919 to one of our shelters. That's probably the safest place 290 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.200 to be. She had said, Lieutenant even Lieutenant Dan is 291 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.159 going to be in a shelter. And he didn't go. 292 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.200 He did not go there. Was a reporter for Fox 293 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.320 thirteen out of Tampa who last night at about eleven o'clock, 294 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:18.799 I mean, we're talking pretty close to the absolute worst 295 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:23.639 of the storm, had eyes on Lieutenant Dan in his 296 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.519 little sailboat banging up against the dock and said, he's 297 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.759 still in there. I guess he's going to ride this 298 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.200 thing out well. 299 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.159 As I mean, let me tell you something. I'm in 300 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.360 this family group chat and from my Florida side of 301 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.679 the family, and Lieutenant Dan was the number one topic 302 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.159 that people repeatedly brought up, and my sister in law 303 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:49.000 who kept sharing TikTok videos because everyone, I mean, there 304 00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.480 were people across the nation invested in the outcome and 305 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.679 well being of Lieutenant Dan, whose real name is Joseph Melanowski, 306 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.279 and in fact, there's a GoFundMe that is reportedly raised 307 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.120 over one hundred thousand dollars for him. I mean, he's 308 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.440 been homeless for ten years, and so you know, people 309 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.679 wanted to rally to help him and do what they can, 310 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.360 and they call him a national hero. 311 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.120 The Internet is weird. 312 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:14.960 And I think it's this. I think it's that if 313 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.840 you say the entire state of Florida is under hurricane 314 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.320 watches and warnings, and seven million people have been told 315 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.200 to evacuate. That it's almost it's too big for us. 316 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.960 I mean, especially if we're out here and if someone 317 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.200 like me, I don't have anybody in Florida that I'm 318 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:34.000 particularly concentrating on, hoping that Aunt Susie gets you know, 319 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.840 safe to a safe place. It's that you now have 320 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.919 an investment in you know, you see Lieutenant Dan, you 321 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.919 can you can give to his go fund me page, 322 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.279 like you care enough about that guy. That's why you're 323 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.759 going to pay attention to that, to that event, whatever 324 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.519 it is. Otherwise, it's just it's too much to fathom. 325 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.000 You can't you can't imagine a twelve foot storm. I mean, 326 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.360 imagine twelve foot storm, Surgeon Burbank. We can't wrap our 327 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.720 heads around it because we've never had to live through it. 328 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:05.920 People in Florida they've heard. I mean, you heard George 329 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.680 earlier say, you know, this is what we're used to. 330 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:08.880 This. 331 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.599 I mean, you know, we have to do this every 332 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.200 once in a while. This is paradise except for the hurricanes. 333 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.400 Jim Laws laugh at me when I say, wait, what 334 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.440 you're staying while at hurricanes? I mean it's hard for 335 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.680 me to that than being a southern California girl. 336 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:25.839 But other people also, I'm sure people, relatives, friends from 337 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.440 around the country are like, how could you live with 338 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.599 the possibility of an earthquake every day? 339 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.039 Right? 340 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.799 And it's not for us in California, it's not that 341 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.279 big a deal. They're fun to some degree. Yeah, there's 342 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.960 a point where we'll stop being fun. I should, I assume. 343 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.880 But the thing is here, you have a huge earthquake 344 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.920 every decade, you know. There, you have hurricanes every season, right, 345 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:52.519 and so to me it seems different. And then I 346 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.720 went tornado chasing ones and that is scary. I can't 347 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.000 imagine being an hurricane and then having the chance at tornade. 348 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.799 I mean, how do you even wrap your mind around 349 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.279 one hundred mile per hour wins Win Gus and then. 350 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.880 Around a tornado but you don't know which way it's 351 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.359 gonna go. 352 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.640 Yeah, I mean our car actually got hit by a 353 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.920 little mini tornado when we were tornado chasing, and they 354 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.599 just they formed so suddenly, And. 355 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.400 That seems was it loud? That seems loud. It was 356 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.240 just in the car when it hits the car. 357 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.000 H I don't I just remember all of a sudden, 358 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.519 my car was facing east instead of. 359 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.319 The direction I thought I was going this Joseph Malinowski character. 360 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.599 By the way, Lieutenant Dan, as much goodwill as he has, 361 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.920 does have a criminal record. I mean, who doesn't. I 362 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.759 don't tell what's about that. He spent six months behind 363 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.319 bars for allegedly punching a police officer when he was 364 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.960 arrested last year over allegations that he tried to set 365 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:50.680 a woman on fire with gasoline. Oh Gosh also reported 366 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:55.039 that Lieutenant Dan has an October court date coming up 367 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.359 sometime soon in a dispute over whether the sailboat that 368 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.000 he was in is actually his sailboat. 369 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.400 Oh see, this is when well intended people and those 370 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.720 who have been part of one hundred thousand dollars donation 371 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.000 to him are actually doing more harm than good. 372 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:16.119 Yeah, so we'll see, we'll see whatever becomes of this, 373 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.960 you know, fifteen minutes of fame for Lieutenant Dan. We 374 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.119 will get more updates on what's going on with Hurricane 375 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.799 Milton and the aftermath of Hurricane Milton across Florida come 376 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.000 up a little bit later. In fact, ABC's Jim Ryan 377 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.759 we talked to him yesterday as he was preparing for 378 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.720 Hurricane Milton. He lasted through the night. We believe we 379 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:40.440 will check in with him. He was stuck. Stuck, would 380 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.559 you say, stuck in his car. 381 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.519 That's where he chose sheltering in play. 382 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.119 Sheltering in his car. That's a probably a better way 383 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.720 to put it. One of the Kennedy matriarchs has died. 384 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.000 Ethel Kennedy has died at the age of ninety six. 385 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.559 They made the announcement just before the show today. That's 386 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:59.880 rfk's widow. She suffered a stroke last week and then 387 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.200 passed away, they said today, surrounded by family in a 388 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:08.799 hospital in Massachusetts. The big deal out of the DC 389 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.599 area today, Bureau of Labor Statistics came out and said 390 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.240 consumer prices were up two point four percent from a 391 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.240 year earlier, higher than expected, but still ticking down just 392 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.839 a little bit. And then Ditty is expected in court 393 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.480 again today. He is going to demand that he'd be 394 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.920 let out on bail. I don't think that's going to happen. 395 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.160 Maybe it's just me. 396 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:31.160 That story makes me mad every time I hear it. 397 00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:35.559 It gets It's weird because the allegations that have been 398 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.359 made against some of the other people that are supposedly involved, 399 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:43.240 or the names of people that are in this sphere involved, 400 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.240 maybe not even necessarily part of the criminal network. I 401 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.839
