The Mega Millions Lottery is changing. 101 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.079 Lotto officials say the game that's played in forty five 102 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.319 states is going to start costing five dollars starting in April. 103 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.120 The lottery is lead director Josh Johnston says players are 104 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.199 going to benefit from improved odds with a built in 105 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.959 multiplier to boost any non jackpot win with. 106 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.920 The new game change comes obviously higher jacko jackpot that 107 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:30.240 will grow faster, as well as more lower tier prizes. 108 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.199 He says the changes will also lead to better odds 109 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.160 and more billionaires and millionaires. So, right now, the tickets 110 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.120 are two dollars, but starting in April, they go up 111 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:38.920 to five dollars. 112 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.240 I don't know, Nick Pouliochini, youre going to buy him? 113 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.759 No?

I know, you got to play 118 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.319 to win. But I've never played so and I. 119 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.000 Don't have any more money than you. So right, you're 120 00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.959 smarter than me. 121 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.360 All Right, it's five oh eight on your Tuesday morning 122 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.879 wake up call, and we've got a big storm to 123 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:07.360 talk about. 124 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.279 But first, Jim, are you gonna buy five dollars Mega 125 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.240 Million's tickets for me?

Yeah? Geez, no, I'm. 132 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.040 Not Okay, there you have it. 133 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:26.759 Five bucks. 134 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.360 Okay, let's get down to serious stuff. 135 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.560 We talked yesterday when Hurricane Milton was a category three. 136 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.319 In a matter of hours. 137 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.800 It blew up to a category five. It's back down 138 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.839 to a four, but still it's gonna be a big one. 139 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.920 It is. It's going to be really powerful in terms 140 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:44.720 of a size. 141 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.720 If you look from it from edge to edge, you know, 142 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.319 think about the edges of a frisbee. It's not as 143 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.920 big as Helene was, and it's moving quite quickly, so 144 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.279 it's a compact storm, but it's very, very powerful. They 145 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.360 went up to category five status as you point out 146 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.879 there Amy, with winds of around a high eighty miles 147 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.839 per hour. Part of the eye wall began to collapse 148 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.040 last night. It's down to one hundred and forty five 149 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.439 miles per hon, which is still a category four status. 150 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.920 But these categories are sort of misleading. If you're right 151 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.639 at the point of landfall and catching one hundred forty 152 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.279 one hundred and forty five mile in our wind, that's 153 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:18.319 going to be devastating. 154 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.199 So evacuations. 155 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.720 I was just listening to the governor Ron Desanta's talking 156 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.000 about the evacuations that are in place, and people are 157 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.040 heating those orders and getting out, getting off the coastline, 158 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.879 heading north out of the peninsula, or heading to one 159 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.319 of the shelters being operated by counties and by the 160 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.399 state all over this area. So people are heating the warnings. 161 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.399 This could be the worst storm to hit this particular 162 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.199 region since nineteen twenty one. 163 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:43.160 Hey, yeah, yeah. 164 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.480 When they put people or ask people to go to shelters, 165 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.079 are they talking like stadiums and gyms and arenas or 166 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.519 where do you put all those people if they can't 167 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:53.439 leave the area. 168 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.439 Well, there are some church basements that will offer themselves 169 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:02.680 up as potential shelter. Is there whatever building is fortified 170 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.800 and can stand withstand how powerful win. The governor was 171 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.800 just saying that there are big warehouse structures designed to 172 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.959 withstand hurricane category five, the hurricanes, they'll hold ten thousand 173 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.639 people some of them. Well, so there are facilities to 174 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.000 make people safe. The good thing about this storm is 175 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.920 that since it is moving fairly quickly, it's going on 176 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.480 along what is now twelve miles per hour. That's quick 177 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.600 for a storm like this. So once it blasts the 178 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.159 shore here on the Gulf Coast, it's going to start 179 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.200 to weaken. It's going to head straight across the peninsula, 180 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.559 probably come out on the other side somewhere or around Orlando, 181 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.679 but even Orlando will be having tropical storm force maybe 182 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.440 even hurricane force wins from this. And the big issue 183 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.799 is that it comes so soon after Hurricane Helene, less 184 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.440 than two weeks ago.

Let's say good morning to 295 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:44.080 ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, the White House is fired 296 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:48.159 back against former President Trump and others claims that FEMA 297 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.120 money is being spent on illegal immigrants instead of Hurricane Heleen. 298 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:52.799 Yeah. 299 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.879 I mean, this has been a multi day thing where 300 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.360 the administration, through tweets from the FEMA account, the FEMA 301 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.759 administrative has been out there doing interviews pushing back very 302 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.919 strongly about what they say is disinformation, misinformation, just flat 303 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.720 out falsehoods about what the federal government has available right 304 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:14.480 now for people who need immediate resources, and how the 305 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.879 Department of Homeland Security can spend money. And you know, 306 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.960 this is all in response to what has been in 307 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.039 a large part, you know, the former President Donald Trump 308 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.960 putting out there that people can only get seven hundred 309 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.159 and fifty dollars now if they've been impacted by Hurricane Helene, 310 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.559 and that the federal government is spending FEMA relief money 311 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.080 on migrants instead of storm survivors. So two things, you know, 312 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.080 One that seven hundred and fifty dollars is just immediate, 313 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.320 go get this right now. 314 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.720 You're entitled to this to help you get up on 315 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.840 your feet in the immediate days hours after the storm hit. 316 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.080 And also that there are two different buckets of funding 317 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.360 through the Homeland Security Department, and that it's not being 318 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.320 spent right now on a migrant response we saw the homelands. 319 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.639 Excuse me, the FEMA administrator, yes, very strongly pushing back 320 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.440 on this, and also Vice President Harris saying that what 321 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.000 Donald Trump and others are saying is extraordinarily irresponsible and 322 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.440 that people need to know what resources are available to 323 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.960 them and it's important that they apply for that assistance. 324 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.840 Okay, but to drill into it, just a schmidge because 325 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.960 I watched Diana chris Well talking about it. There is 326 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.159 beeam of money that goes to illegal immigrants, but it 327 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.480 comes from a different pot, a disaster relief, so. 328 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:31.759 Under the Department of Homeland Security. So when Congress allocates 329 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.679 funding for the year, there's funding that goes to each agency. 330 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.840 Homeland Security gets their money, and then there is money 331 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.440 that goes to FEMA, and money from there goes to 332 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.679 emergency response for migrant relief and what they're doing in 333 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:46.440 some cities. 334 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.039 There is another. 335 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.159 Bucket of money that is specifically. 336 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.039 For natural disaster relief. 337 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.120 They're not taking away money from that right now in 338 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.679 order to handle and support migrant response. 339 00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:57.240 Okay. 340 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.960 So just yeah, because I heard Deana chris Well and 341 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.919 I was like, well, she did say that FEMA money 342 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.720 does go to them. 343 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:03.519 But I get it. 344 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.440 There's different buckets, and so that's what needs to be clarified. 345 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.039 And then moving on as we look at Hurricane Milton, 346 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.920 which is powering toward. 347 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:15.640 Florida. 348 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.799 There there's I hate how this is all getting politicized. 349 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.559 But Creint Jean Pierre wouldn't confirm that President Biden or 350 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:29.880 Vice President Harris had talked to Governor Ron DeSantis. And 351 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.720 are they not reaching out as Desanti's not taking the 352 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.039 calls because they're both saying different things. 353 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.079 Yeah.

They talked about the recovery efforts from Helene 365 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.400 and what the preparations are from Milton. The Vice President 366 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.559 also reached out to DeSantis, and his office put out 367 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.480 yesterday you know, sources close to his office were saying 368 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.079 that he would not take that call because he thought 369 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:22.039 it was political. She responded, you know, criticizing that, and 370 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.720 then he later went on Fox News multiple times saying 371 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.160 that she has no role in this, she has not 372 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.640 contributed anything to this, and basically said she is playing 373 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:32.559 political games. 374 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.279 I think the White House will be feisty on this today. 375 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.160 We've asked the question. 376 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.240 But you know, they have a Category four or five 377 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.039 storm heading their way and the White House reaching out 378 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.200 to offer support, would you know, I think they'd be 379 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.559 expected that the phone call would be answered. 380 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:46.960 On the other end. 381 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.640 Yeah, okay, And then how's the White House responding to 382 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.279 Majorcis's comment that FEMA was running out of money. 383 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:54.920 I mean, they need more funding. 384 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.240 You know, Congress only funded the government for a short time. 385 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.319 Remember September thirtieth, they got to having set down threat. Yeah, 386 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.119 the Continuing Resolution, Like it's not a full year of funding. 387 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.160 So they do want Congress to come back and address 388 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.519 this bigger issue because they don't have the large number 389 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.359 that they're going to need for rebuilding recovery. But also 390 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.160 concerned about they have two major back to back disasters 391 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.880 within one week and they're worried about resources right now. 392 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.279 Well, I think it's interesting too, and just an observation 393 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.319 they had predicted and they've been talking about how this 394 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.680 was supposed to be like one of the most active 395 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.440 hurricane seasons that we've seen in years and years. I 396 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.160 don't know that I'm surprised, but maybe a little surprised 397 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.160 that Congress didn't take it up earlier and go, hey, 398 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.559 let's set this money aside because it looks like it's 399 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:47.079 going to be a bad season. Yeah, maybe that's asking 400 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.279 too much to have them plan for the future, right probably, Okay, 401 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.640
