Chris Reed Shares His Predictions About Ron DeSantis for 2023
"That there was going to be an oil spill, it sounds like in the Florida golf or something like that, that would dramatically affect Florida beaches and would negatively impact desantis as a governor in some ways. So yes, let me give you the background on this. In June of 2021, this is documented. We have proof of this. I prophesied of hurricane that would hit the West Coast of Florida that would be aimed at Tampa. That happened in September and October, hurricane Ian, I was shown that was like a second test. The first test for desantis governor was COVID. He passed. It's still the freest state in the union. The second test was the hurricane response to hurricane Ian. He passed. He did a great job. I believe there's going to be a third test and this is what I heard. A third test for desantis and it was going to be something to do the environmentalist agenda would hijack this and to try to hurt him an oil spill of in Florida. It was either Florida or the Gulf Coast or I can't even say for sure it wasn't even on the beaches there where South Carolina, Georgia and Florida on that side, but I know it was a Florida beach or close to a Florida beach and oily beaches and this would be a third test that he would be given and it would determine how to he would be promoted to national leadership.

Masters Closing Gap With Kelly in Senate Race
"Well, Blake, I know that your opponent who apparently was an astronaut. I may have heard that once or twice. Mark Kelly, is besides being a 96% of the time Joe Biden supporting a senator. He also had some like what was it $80 million to use against you? That's right. Well, they've spent 80 million already. As best we can tell about 30 million of that has just been attacking me lying about me trying to vilify me. The other 50 million apparently is just going to prop him up and lie about his record. You know, this guy votes just like Bernie Sanders in the United States Senate to the left of Bernie, actually. But then come election time, red campaign Kelly. He campaigns as a moderate. He's an independent, always pretending to be John McCain up there. You know, he's a rubber stamp for Joe Biden's agenda, and the only chance that Democrats have to even come close to winning this election is just to lie. They've got a lot of money to do it. I just don't think it will work out for her. Well,

FL Gov. Ron DeSantis Talks Hurricane Ian Recovery Effort
"Desantis, I was watching your disaster relief operations. And I said to myself, this is a man who sat through many, many staff briefings, decision briefs, course of action briefs. How did your military service training and experience. Help you with this response to hurricane Ian? Well, I think a couple of things. I mean, number one, what happens when we go into a state of emergency for a hurricane, I designate the division, the director of the division of urgency management is kind of the chief coordinating officer. So he's reporting directly to me and then what we do is all other state agencies effectively report directly to him. So we have a clear chain of command. It used to be that you'd have someone kind of doing disaster and then like the governors having to like talk separately to all these agencies. And that's just not how we do it in Florida, all of those people are all hands on deck. We have a very clear chain of command when we're in a state of emergency. And so you see things like your staging folks, our National Guard as staged, ready to go for search and rescue. We have urban search and rescue teams that were literally on the road at midnight on the Wednesday the storm hit driving through tropical storm force winds to be able to get to places like Fort Myers beach. We also have Florida fish and wildlife officers who these are waterborne operators who will go and when you have barrier islands that are in distress, they're there. So they're all there ready to go and then when the storm passes immediately go into search and rescue operations and I'm not necessarily in control of utility companies, but because we're marshaling every resource in the state, we had 42,000 linemen that were in the state of Florida. Many of them from places like Texas and Alabama, staged and ready to go, which was also a difficult thing because if you remember the track of the storm at one point, there were models taking it to the Florida Panhandle. It ended up going in Southwest Florida cutting across the state. So we have a big long Peninsula. You've got to be very nimble. But

Trump Slams ‘Stupid’ GOP Colorado Senate Candidate After 2024 Remarks
"Byron York, there was a lot of hope among Republicans for a long shot dark horse victory in the state of Colorado, which O O day, who seemed to be a pretty good candidate. Joe O'Day goes on the air and announces they have Trump runs in 2024. He's going to oppose Trump and naturally Donald Trump reacted by essentially attacking Joe O'Day. What do you think of that race? And what do you think of Joe O'Day's strategy? Because I'm not seeing it. Well, I believe you just described everything in the past tense. Which is kind of indicative. Listen, it just doesn't do you any good as a candidate to come out and say if X is the Republican nominee in 2024, I'm going to vote against him. As a matter of fact, obviously, Trump occupies a special position. But I think if you looked at anybody else, if you said, if Ron DeSantis is the Republican nominee in 2024, I'm not going to vote for him. I mean, that's going to turn a lot of Republicans off. But candidates are under enormous pressure from their press to make statements about Donald Trump. And remember this happened the whole time even more when Trump was president. He would say something and then the press would run to every Republican and said, do you agree with that? And do you endorse this? And a lot of Republicans became adept at actually running away. Avoiding the press after Trump said something particularly kooky. To run away and avoid the press because they didn't want to have to comment on it because Trump just said all sorts of stuff. And as far as Trump's reaction is concerned. The Judgment Day on Trump's. Senate midterm policy will be election day and we'll see how well he did. He did exercise a lot of influence and choosing candidates and Ohio and Georgia and Pennsylvania. And we'll see how they do.

"I have been told that you had the pleasure of watching what I think was one of the most disgraceful performances I've heard of in this cycle, which is truly saying something. Evan mcmullin's disgusting attack on Mike Lee last night. That got him booed in Utah. I got the Utah folks angry. What do you think of that? Well, it was extraordinary. First of all, with a lot of the issues, they really didn't disagree very much. I mean, didn't really disagree very much with Lee on does the EPA overreach does the federal government spend too much money, is it a bad idea for the president to unilaterally forgive college loans? It's not like there was any real disagreement between them. It was just McMullen attacking Lee for allegedly supporting an insurrection. And he basically said McMullen said, this was the single most disgraceful trader is act by U.S. senator in history. It was just unbelievable the kind of stuff. Well, that's literally one of the stupidest things I've ever heard somebody say in American politics. I mean,

The following day, fema went on meet the face the nation and said, no, we'll give assistance to everyone, but she gave us a sneak peek into the thinking of those who proposed equity, you know? We think of equity as what we have in our home, the value less mortgage, and so we've been stumbling around trying to figure out what do they mean by equity. Now we know it's about giving reparations. It's about helping those who see themselves as victims.

"What it was like to live through hurricane Ian in Florida by Terra law. When Tampa issued a mandatory evacuation on Monday, Bailey shot me 25 and her husband Cody utter Mullen 26 knew they had to get out. During 2004s hurricane Charlie, a category four storm, shat ne and her mother fled to a shelter in the middle of the storm after a tornado approached their house. She and utter Mullen knew they didn't want their 20 month old son Zeke to have the same experience. With just a half tank of gas and glide to even have that much in an area where gas was scarce and there were no public transportation options. They made their way to utter Mullins parents house in Port Charlotte, Florida. When hurricane Ian made land fall in Florida on Wednesday, it was one of the most powerful hurricanes in American history, with winds above 150 mph, it became one of the most powerful storms to reach the United States mainland. Although there was not yet an official count of the casualties caused by the storm, president Joe Biden has warned there could be a substantial loss of life. About 2.67 million homes and businesses were left without power, Reuters reported. And in Port Charlotte, misled by a forecast showing the hurricane would move through Tampa, chat neon utter Mullen had accidentally evacuated into the storm's path. They considered fleeing to a shelter, but they were trapped first by a tornado warning, and then after they learned through local news that high winds had shuttered local shelters. Suddenly, the canal that flowed at the bottom of a slope in the backyard seemed like a threat. After they heard on the news that floodwaters could rise above 18 feet above the level of the house, they agreed that they would use kayaks to flee if the one story home was underwater, and do anything necessary to protect Zeke. I had to look at my family and be like, if it comes down to it, your priority is to save my son, says shut me. My mother in law was the same way. She looked at her husband, my father in law. And I looked at my husband and you guys are the strongest people here. It's your responsibility to get that little boy to safety, regardless of what happened to us. The family busy themselves keeping the boy calm, singing to him, offering him toys and using a baby gate to keep him away from the door, they hadn't boarded up, in case it blew out. At the same time, southeast of shatnes family and downtown Fort Myers. Bradley burdett, 51, decided to ride the storm out with his cat, Jack. Burdett says he'd had a bad experience at a shelter during a past hurricane, he showed up for protection, but ended up not able to leave for days. He also thought his house, which was built above ground on a concrete foundation, could weather the storm. He'd moved there from a home across the street after that house flooded during a storm. His current home hadn't. Burdett also had a plan if things went south. He filled a bathtub to make sure he could keep flushing the toilet if the water was cut off. He filled the freezer with water bottles to move into his fridge if the power went out. And knowing his home is about two miles from the colusa hatchie river, he also had a plan for if the house flooded to use a hammer and drywall saw to escape to the roof. I'll cut a hole right in my ceiling, I'll jump up on that secretary and I'll just stay up in there burdett says. And of course, if it starts coming up even harder than that, then I'll just punch a hole through the roof and hopefully somebody will come by and get me. It didn't come to that, but burdett had a harrowing day. I got plastered. My yard is a war zone. Every tree in my yard is wrecked burdett says. For a while there, it was just a lot of weird noises. It was like a train. You could hear it coming. It just got louder and louder, and it just went boom. Shat nee likewise compares the noise of hurricane Ian to a passing train. Their in Port Charlotte, though the storm surged didn't reach their house, the wind tour of the surrounding area obliterating the shed and sending its contents around the yard, ripping the roofs off neighbors houses, and tearing apart trees and vegetation. A pressure drop caused by the storm added to their suffering, making the family's ears pop and giving them headaches. The scariest thing is the not knowing, especially when your house is boarded up, because all you hear is stuff slamming into your house, chutney says. And you don't know if the next second the thing that is making that loud noise is your roof ripping off or your window shattering. By the morning, the family was grateful to have survived. For now, they don't know when they'll be able to go home to Tampa as the roads are scattered with trees, local gas stations are damaged, and the city lost power. The couple also doesn't know what condition their home is in, as their condo complex didn't permit residents to put up storm shutters. All the same says, I think thankful is kind of the word of the day..

"hurricane ian" Discussed on THE NEWS with Anthony Davis
"Coming up on 5 minute news. Hundreds trapped as hurricane Ian heads for South Carolina. Ginny Thomas reiterates false election claims for January 6th committee. And army doctor and spouse indicted for leaking medical data to Russia. Its Friday September 30. I'm Anthony Davis. Rescue crews piloted boats and waded through inundated streets on Thursday to save thousands of floridians trapped amid flooded homes and shattered buildings left by hurricane Ian, which crossed into the Atlantic Ocean and churned towards South Carolina. Hours after weakening to a tropical storm while crossing the Florida Peninsula, Ian regained hurricane strength on Thursday evening over the Atlantic. The national hurricane center predicted it would hit South Carolina as a category one hurricane today. The devastation inflicted on Florida came into focus a day after Ian struck as a monstrous category four, one of the strongest storms ever to hit the U.S.. It flooded homes on both of the state's coasts, cut off the only road access to a barrier island, destroyed an historic waterfront pier and knocked out electricity to 2.67 million Florida homes and businesses, nearly a quarter of utility customers. Four people were confirmed dead in Florida, they included two residents of hard hit sanibel island along Florida's West Coast, three other people reported killed in Cuba after the hurricane struck there on Tuesday. In the Fort Myers area, homes had been ripped from their slabs and deposited among shredded wreckage. Businesses near the beach were completely raised, leaving twisted debris after leaving Florida as a tropical storm on Thursday, and entering the Atlantic north of cape canaveral in spun up into a hurricane again, with winds of 75 mph. A hurricane warning was issued for the South Carolina coast and extended to cape fear on the southeastern coast of North Carolina. The wife of Supreme Court Justice clarence Thomas, Virginia Ginnie Thomas, stood by the false claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent during an interview Thursday with the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection, the panel's chairman said. It's a work in progress representative Benny Thompson told reporters after the more than four hour interview ended. At this point, we're glad she came, he said. The committee has for months sought an interview with Thomas in an effort to know more about her role in trying to help former president Trump overturn his election defeat. The far right activist texted with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and contacted lawmakers in Arizona and Wisconsin in the weeks after the election. Thomas answered some of the questions from congressional investigators on Thursday, as she sought to portray herself as among the many Americans who still believed the lies being told that the 2020 election was stolen. But she did not provide any evidence or specific reasoning to back up her belief. The testimony from Thomas was one of the last remaining for the panel as it eyes the completion of its work, the panel has already interviewed more than a thousand witnesses and shown some of that video testimony in its 8 hearings over the summer. The extent of her involvement in the capital attack is unclear in the days after the election, Thomas emailed two lawmakers in Arizona to urge them to choose a clean slate of electors and stand strong in the face of political and media pressure. But Johns Hopkins anesthesiologist and her spouse a doctor and major in the U.S. Army were federally indicted on Wednesday for attempting to provide medical information about members of the military to the Russian government. Anna gabriele and Jaime Lee Henry, who had a secret security clearance as a doctor at fort Bragg in North Carolina, communicated and met several times with an undercover FBI agent, who they believed was from the Russian embassy, offering sensitive medical information on military members and their families the indictment alleges. 36 year old Gabriel touted the Rockville couples access to the health records as a useful long-term weapon during an initial August 17 meeting in a Baltimore hotel room, Gabrielle told the agent, she was motivated by patriotism towards Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail. Her spouse had access to not just medical information, she said, but insight into how the U.S. Military establishes army hospitals in war conditions, and about training the military provided to Ukrainian military personnel. Henry participated in a second meeting later that night. Henry also told the agent, she had looked into volunteering to join the Russian army after the conflict in Ukraine began. Gabrieli and is listed as an instructor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Hopkins, and her profile page says she speaks Russian. Henry received attention in 2015 after becoming the first known active duty army officer to come out as transgender. The indictment was handed up Wednesday and unsealed Thursday. The pair are charged with conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information. They made their initial appearance in court and were released on home detention.

Let's start with that first question. How do you know if you have seasonal depression? Rowan told us that could depend on where you live. It seems to increase with latitude, it looks very prevalent from 1% in Florida to 9% in Alaska. Like most mental health problems, seasonal affective disorders on a continuum too. At the extreme are people that have depression in the winter time and that's what we would think of as seasonal affective disorder. And then at the other extreme, are people who feel the same, year round, no matter what season it is. So how do we know if it's actually SAD? Or if we're just lower case SAD? If you're someone who experiences a mild seasonal changes and they don't really impair your ability to function in important roles like at work or at school or in relationships. And it's probably not an issue for you, but if they are getting in the way of your ability to function and or causing a lot of distress, then that's the time to definitely seek some professional help. Rowan told us some signs of SAD are if your appetite changes, things you usually love doing just aren't sparking joy, or if your sleep schedule has shifted. All since the seasons changed. As Rowan mentioned, it's important to seek professional help. If your seasonal depression is interfering with your life. But she also told us, if you've got a milder form, like the winter blues, there are plenty of things you can try to brighten up even the darkest fall and winter days. For people that really have mild symptoms, there are some things that might benefit people like that, including taking a walk outside, first thing in the morning, 30 minutes in the morning after sunrise, you're getting the light to your retina, you might be resetting your sluggish biological clock and you're moving your body. You're getting physical activity and there's antidepressant effects of physical activity and exercise. So it's the two birds, one stone kind of thing. It's also important to know what your triggers are. For some people, it's the end of daylight savings time for other people. It's certain calendar dates or even holidays. Have a plan in place for staying in your routines instead of giving into that urge to go straight home that first Monday we get out of work after the time change and it suddenly dark. Your body might be telling you go get under a blanket, sit on the couch, go into hibernation mode, do something else, do whatever it was that you did the Friday before, if it's go to the gym, keep doing that. If it is seeing people, if it's staying active and clubs and activities, it's really important to stay into our routines of natural antidepressants, the things that we do that naturally make us feel good, whatever those are, to keep active in those things in the wintertime. And we couldn't talk about SAD without talking about happy lamps. But Rowan told us what sounds like a great invention might not actually be so helpful in fighting seasonal mood changes. Light therapy is time to daily exposure to artificial light. And light boxes are not regulated by the FDA. They're not approved by the FDA. It's very much a cottage industry. So I strongly recommend that people who are interested in light therapy do so under the guidance of a qualified mental health provider Rowan warned that DIY light therapy can cause similar side effects to taking the wrong medications. Do it for too long or at the wrong time, and you could actually make yourself feel worse. And as we head into winter, Rowan's final piece of advice is to speak up about what you're experiencing. Most people sadly suffer in silence a long time before they seek treatment. Sometimes decades even. There's no need to suffer in silence. We have effective treatments light therapy, antidepressant medication, and also a form of talk therapy called cognitive behavioral therapies. There's no need to be on this roller coaster of depression every year when we've got these treatments that can help. And quickly, before we go, if the colder weather is getting you down, we want to end with this clip of lizzo. A wine glass bitch. She played a flute that belonged to James Madison. Yes, former U.S. president James Madison, onstage in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night. The flute is 200 years old, made of crystal, and lives in the Library of Congress. You just made history tonight. Thank you so much for your progress and preserving our history. And making history freaking cool. History is freaking cool you guys.

"This is what you're voting for. Democrat party, if you vote for John veteran, you're voting for a man that isn't a man. You're voting for a man that doesn't have the courage of his convictions. He's a radical leftist, just say it. Just say it. Give the people, you know, if you believe that the people want to left wing radical, yeah, I'm gonna free, I want to work to free a hardened criminals out of prison. You know, I'm for socialism, just say it. I'd rather know who I'm dealing with. I'd rather deal with an AOC than a John fetterman. Who's gonna lie to the voters and then if and when he gets in office, then he'll start governing like a radical. You better wake up, Pennsylvania. You better wake up. I'm telling you, we have a masculinity problem in America, but particularly on the left. These guys aren't leaders. Joe Biden is not a leader. John fetterman is not a leader. Anthony Fauci is in a leader, and yet they're leading all of us. We got to stop this. We have a chance to turn this around in November, guys, and I can not wait. Before I get out of here, I want to play one more clip for you. I see dead people. All right, this is. So Joe Biden, just proof that just proof that this guy is a complete and utter fraud. He's not there. He's not a real man. He's not a real leader. Just proof that people are running shop and not Joe Biden. I want Joe Biden as auditioning for the 6th sense part two. He sees dead people. So if you haven't seen this video, or hurt this audio, I want you to hear this. Gabe, go ahead and roll it. There's so much about this as well on your committed. I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elected officials like representative government, senator Braun, senator Booker, representative Jackie, are you here? Where's Jack? I didn't think she was going to be here. Event today, the president appeared to look around the room for an audience member, a member of Congress who passed away last month. He seemed to indicate she might be in the room. The president was, as you all know, you guys were watching today's event a very important event on food insecurity. The president was naming the congressional champions on this issue and was acknowledged being her incredible work. He had already planned to welcome the congresswoman's family to The White House on Friday. There will be a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday. So of course she was on his mind. She was of top of mind for the president. He looks very much looks forward to discussing her remarkable legacy of public service with them when he sees her family this coming from. You got to give Joe Biden credit. He's the only president that I've known of that this he's dead people. Anyway, man, this guy is a complete and utter fraud. The left knows it. The entire group of leftist men lack masculinity and their complete and utter frauds from Fauci to fetterman to Joe Biden himself. You've just seen it. I mean, it's insane. It's insane where we're at. Please guys continue to pray for the people of Florida. We really do need it. The biggest concern here right now appears to be a flooding. We are still having gusta wins. The hurricane Ian is going to is pushing through the state of Florida and it'll go to our east coast and thank God it'll get out of here by I think late this evening or late tonight, so I won't be a problem for us, but it will be a problem for another state, but the devastation will remain. There's lots of flooding, something that we haven't necessarily seen as much of in Florida before. Again, we've had the wind and all this kind of stuff, tree branches down, but having flooding is a totally different thing. Lives again will be, it'll take a long time to put a lot of lives back together. So please continue to pray for the people of Florida also.

"So et cetera to any people for that matter, but they happened to be there. These are insurrectionists, right? Unbelievable. But in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury. You think they're in part one and Washington, D.C., give me a break, they're all. They're all left wingers. By an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation to be confronted with the witnesses against him to have compulsory compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Now, keep in mind, these informants, the CHS, said they witness no crime from the oath keepers, the embedded FBI informants that they witness no crime. From the oath keepers, yet these people are being charged, charged with crimes of seditious, conspiracy. This is why the FBI has to go bye bye. They have to go bye bye. What is amendment 8 say? Access a bill, should not be required, nor excessive fines imposed nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Is it cruel and unusual to make sure that people don't have bail? When the F their own FBI informant said, wait a minute, we were embedded with these guys they did nothing wrong. They broke no loss. This is political, prosecution. That's what it is. This is political prosecution. Nothing less, nothing more. All right? Are now, let me get to another man that's unmanly. In my opinion, the lacks moral integrity that lacks a masculinity that's succumbed to left ism instead of instead of doing the right thing, doing his job and being a leader, like he should be. Doctor Anthony Fauci's net worth had tipped daily wire, soared during the COVID pandemic leaving the career government workers sitting on a nearly 13 million dollar nest egg according to a newly according to newly uncovered documents while Carl, wait a minute, I mean the guy is the highest paid official and the government and the federal government earning 480 grand a year. I mean, it's doable that if he invested properly and all this kind of stuff and didn't spend more money than he made and all this good stuff that perhaps he could have this type of money. Oh, okay, let's read on. The 81 year old director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases added some 5 million to his household net worth from 2019 to 2021. What was going on? What was going on from 2019 to 2021, he added 5 million to his net worth in two short years, according to financial disclosures, obtained by a group called open the books dot com. So what was going on? 2019, 2020. Could that have been when we were when we were in the midst of a pandemic? A world pandemic, I mean, I know we didn't shut down until what was in March of 2020, but we had already knew that a pandemic was occurring Fauci certainly knew there were early emails in early 2020 that he knew, and he was trying to hide that information. So this guy nets 5 freaking $1 million during the pandemic. Huh? Pretty freaking amazing. Guy must be brilliant..

"I started adulting at. What? I mean, it's insane. But getting back bringing that full circle and coming back to the issue of hurricane Ian, there's nothing, it's weird. There's nothing more manly and satisfying than trying to protect your home and your family. In my opinion, and you get to experience that when it comes to the hurricanes, hurricanes here. And I'm not making light of the hurricanes. I'm not making, I'm not minimizing any other damage because this is going to be devastating for people for years to come. It's going to take some people months. Weeks, months, years to get their lives back in order as a result of the damage that this hurricane Ian has done. I mean, this has been this is going to go down from what I've read as one of the top four hurricanes to ever have hit the state of Florida. And we can thank God that the winds weaken, but the width of this thing and the constant pounding of rain and wind gusts is leaving a lot of destruction in its wake. So please continue to play, pray for the people of Florida, but I was talking to you about how it does and I see this often. I think it brings out the manliness of man. I see men and young men, you know, even down the street just, you know, preparing their homes and all that kind of stuff. And it's true for women too. I just, I just, I love what I see, see it doing to men when men are protecting their homes, protecting their families. There's something about that. And I see obviously more of that living in Florida when things like that, this happened. If you're wondering what I have on my head, if you're watching watching on rumble, I'm going to talk about some things today. You're not going to be able to see on YouTube. We're going to get kicked off a YouTube if I talk about these things. So I'm going to the video is going to be exclusively on rumble today. So make sure you check out the video. You can check out my headlamp and what I'm wearing. This is part of my, this is part of my gear. I'm sorry. When we lose power, I want to be able to see and it is daylight, but it really is dark outside and it just helps with that kind of stuff. So I just kind of keep it on my head. I don't want to look like a nerd. But I'd rather, I'd rather have light and not. All right, but also, you know, in the aftermath of hurricanes, this is, this is what we get to witness. And right now, 1.4 million people, I believe, I just saw the headline on daily wire or out of power. Thank God. That's better. We had about 2.8 million people out of power. So if it's true that we're down to 1.4 million people, that means that a lot of alignment are doing great, great work and praise God for our alignment. But another thing that I like about I shouldn't say that I like about hurricanes forgive me. It's not what I mean, but the aftermath of the hurricane. I hate enduring them, but the before and after something special happens. Again, a manhood comes to foreplay. When hurricanes come in between we're all bunkering down, everybody just hoping and praying for the best. But afterwards, something else happens. We become Americans. It doesn't matter what color you are. It doesn't matter what class you are. Necessarily. I mean, if you're living in one particular neighborhood, it's likely that you're in the same economic class, but that's not necessarily the case. Always, it doesn't matter what political party you belong to. You all become neighbors again. You all become Americans again and you're no longer it's no longer a divisive. And I think that's one of the things that obviously one of the things that has made America exceptional in the past, but I would say that it's one of the things that makes America great. I know a lot of people wondered after the Trayvon Martin thing even George Floyd, people expected riots, racial rights to break out in Florida. Well, we have great law enforcement out here. We have a great governor. But beyond that, we have such a people talk about diversity. We have so many different cultures in Florida or ethnicities, I should say, but it's like everybody understands that they're American first. And so I feel like Florida in that way, it's very, very unique in that way. But talking about the lack of adulthood that exist inside of the inside of the United States are particularly with our leadership..

A hurricane is a little is a little different in that there's this, there's just foreboding fear or concern.

"Coming up on 5 minute news. Hurricane Ian makes landfall in Florida as a category four storm. Annexation of Ukraine territory expected after Russian vote. And vaccine shows good protection against monkey parks. It's Thursday, September 29. I'm Anthony Davis. Hurricane Ian made landfall on Wednesday in Southwest Florida as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the U.S., swamping streets with water and smashing trees along the coast, while moving at a crawl that threatened catastrophic flooding across a wide area. Barely an hour after the massive storm trudged ashore, a coastal sheriff's office reported that it was already getting a significant number of calls from people trapped in homes. The hurricane center struck near kaio Costa, a protected barrier island just west of heavily populated Fort Myers. The category four storms slammed the coast with a 150 mile an hour winds and pushed a wall of storm surge accumulated during its slow march over the Gulf of Mexico. More than a million Florida homes and businesses were without electricity. The storm previously tore into Cuba, killing two people and bringing down the country's entire electrical grid. About 2.5 million people were ordered to evacuate Southwest Florida before Ian hit, but by law, no one could be forced to flee, though expected to weaken to a tropical storm as it marched in land, Ian's hurricane force winds were likely to be felt well into Central Florida. This is a storm that we will talk about for many years to come and historic event, said Ken Graham, director of the national weather service. The region around the landfall is home to miles of sandy beaches, scores of resort hotels, and numerous mobile home parks, a favorite with retirees and vacationers alike, but the storm soon transformed idyllic coastal towns into disaster zones. Man-made climate change is making hurricanes wetter, windier, and more intense. Scientists say there's also evidence that global warming is causing storms to travel more slowly, meaning they can dump more water in one place. Moscow was poised on Wednesday to annex a sway the Ukraine, releasing what it called vote tallies showing support in four partially occupied provinces to join Russia after what Kyiv and the west denounced as illegal sham referenda held at gunpoint. President Vladimir Putin could proclaim the annexation in a speech within days, just over a week since he endorsed the referenda, ordered a military mobilization at home and threatened to defend Russia with nuclear weapons if necessary. The Russian installed administrations of the four Ukrainian provinces on Wednesday formally asked Putin to incorporate them into Russia, which Russian officials have suggested is a formality. The results are clear, welcome home to Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, a former president who serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said on telegram. Russian back to authorities claim to have carried out the referenda over 5 days in parts of eastern and southern Ukraine that makes up around 15% of the country's territory. Residents who escaped to Ukrainian held areas in recent days have told of people being forced to Mark ballots in the street by roving officials at gunpoint. Footage filmed during the exercise showed Russian installed officials taking ballot boxes from house to house with armed men in tow. Russia claims voting was voluntary in line with international law and that turnout was high. The referenda and notion of annexations has been rejected globally, as was Russia's 2014 takeover of Crimea from Ukraine. Ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky sought to rally international support against possible Russian annexations in a series of calls with foreign leaders, including those of Britain, Canada, Germany, and turkey. The United States said it would in coming days impose economic costs on Moscow for the referenda, adding to several tranches of sanctions since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February that has destroyed cities and killed thousands. At risk people who received a single dose of the monkeypox vaccine in U.S. efforts against the virus appeared to be significantly less likely to get sick, public health officials announced on Wednesday, even as they urged a second dose for full protection. It was the first look into how the genius vaccine is affecting monkeypox, a virus that is primarily spread among men who have sex with infected men. This new data provides us with a level of cautious optimism that the vaccine is working as intended, Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, said yesterday. Roughly 800,001st and second doses of the vaccine have been administered across the country to people who are considered high risk for becoming infected with the virus, White House national monkeypox response coordinator bob Fenton said there is no scientifically conclusive data available to prove the effectiveness of the jynneos vaccine against monkeypox. Still, walensky said lab studies show the highest level of immunity from the virus is reached after people get a second dose of the vaccine, calling it really important. The U.S. leads the world in monkeypox cases, so far more than 25,000 infections of the virus, which can cause rash, fever, body aches, and chills have been reported.

"The climate. I think at times we think we know more about the climate than we actually do. And since we're talking about hurricane Ian tonight, there is no upward trend. I can say this with absolute certainty. I don't know about a hundred years from now, but right now there is no upward trend in hurricane setting the United States or the strength of hurricane sitting the United States. All right. Mark in Ravenna, Ohio, hello. I believe this doesn't have an effect as some evaporation of water over the oaths and the depth of the oceans that current changing directions and it's always cool water where there's a current compared to normal temperature of the ocean itself and that is nice that you believe that Mark have a reason for believing that Mike. Yes, the ocean currents definitely affect the weather, the one that affects the United States the most is what's called the El Nino or la Nina in the equatorial Pacific, one of the reasons we're having a bad drought in the central United States and parts of the rockies and parts of the Midwest is because we've had a Nina, which is colder than normal water in the equatorial Pacific for the last three years. And that is cost much less than normal rainfall and where I live, which is Wichita, we're way below normal on our rainfall this year. And so we can pinpoint that that colder weather than average sets up high pressure in the wrong part of the Pacific and it blocks storms from coming into the central United States. And so Mark is absolutely right that there is an ocean currents definitely have an effect on our weather. All right. And Jim and Danbury, Connecticut, good evening. Good evening, gentlemen. I got two quick questions for you. Number one is 20% of the world's oxygen comes from the rainforest. And back in the day, I think we might have been about 1962 to the hurricane Donna. I got chastised by my grandmother for closing the windows as we have opened. We're having a hurricane. And she says, well, here comes in one window and goes out the other window and it doesn't break it. We used to think that opening windows in tornadoes and hurricanes was a good idea. So as to equalize the air pressure and lessen the chance that the opposing wall will be blown out, we know that's not true. We used to preach that in the 50s and 60s, but experiments clearly show that's not true. You're better off leaving the windows closed in a tornado or hurricane and a hurricane, hopefully you have time to board up your windows or put in your storm shutters as far as the rainforest and oxygen is concerned. That's correct. The reforest exchanges carbon dioxide, which causes plants to grow for oxygen and that is an important source of oxygen in our world.

"We got to work together to make sure we're doing the best job for them. So my phone, my phone line is open, and we're happy, but we do appreciate the quick approval of the pre landfall declaration. Well, they finally connected. Maybe motivated by what governor desantis said in that press conference, Biden finally called Florida governor Ron DeSantis, it apparently was in the 7 o'clock hour last night, so he connected with the governor as Ian is barreling through the state of Florida. So, you know, I mean, it's the double standard never ceases to amaze me. It is continuous. I think a product of a corrupt media that clearly advocates for one side of the political spectrum over the other. And they will look the other way, whereas if Trump were in The White House right now and he failed to call a Democrat governor until the 11th hour, that's all we'd be hearing about. It's too bad. One open line, 806 5 5 Mike, actually two right now, 806 5 5 6 four 5 three if you'd like to join us. If you're checking in from Sarasota, if you're in the eye of the storm and let me know what you think about the media looking the other way and failing to even seem interested in this sort of breakdown in communication between Biden and desantis. Portions of our show brought to you by birch gold group, if you're not protected from a storm, you need to make sure, of course, with your finances. What about your bank account? Thankfully, if you're not in the eye of the store in the path of hurricane Ian, you still have got to look out for your future.

"The worst case scenario for Southwest Florida. I will say folks in Tampa Bay, you know, they're not out of the Woods just yet, but the worst of the storm surge, which is the most deadly part of a hurricane, is really going to be between Fort Myers and Sarasota and we could see upwards of 18 feet of storm surge and obviously if you live along the coast, that's going to put homes underwater. And the category of the storm and we're almost a category 5, but it's not even relevant right now when you're talking about a storm surge of 12 to 18, even 20 feet. And then we have high tide that's moving in in the late afternoon. We're expecting the worst of the hurricane force waves and winds and surge and heavy rainfall. It really, you know, Charlie went through this area in 2004, hurricane Charlie, people that know the area, remember Charlie, but this storm is three times the size of Charlie. It will be devastating. I am, I hate to say worst case scenario, but it really is the worst case scenario in this area. And I just hope people heeded the warnings because I mean, they're using catastrophic deadly, those types of terms, the national hurricane center likes to steer clear of unless they actually know that this is a probability. So when you see those dire warnings coming in at 8 a.m., just hours before the storm makes landfall, it really takes your breath away. And I am urging people to just pray for people in Southwest Florida because this will be devastating and it will be historic.

"Show. So hurricane Ian rapidly strengthening to category four almost category 5, one of the joys of my job is to get to say thank you in person to people like our guest who I know is very busy today but we're grateful that she could take time away to join us here on the Mike Gallagher show. Janice dean is the Fox News senior meteorologist. She's an author. She's based in New York City. Of course you see her all over all over Fox News channel and she became a personal hero of many of us for the brave battle that she waged against the corrupt New York State leadership over the nursing home scandal, Janice, it's a joy to talk to you although under very difficult circumstances with hurricane Ian, but may I just quickly say, thank you for all the work you've done on behalf of your late in laws, your husband, your family, New Yorkers, and Americans, you are a treasure and we're grateful for all of your efforts. Oh my goodness. I didn't expect that. I'm very appreciative of your listeners and of you for the recognition. It was, you know, it's a battle that's still ongoing to be quite honest with you. I'm not going to stop until we have justice. And I do believe we will at some point. I really believe there will be subpoenas issued at some point and we will get to the bottom of why our governor and his administration are former governor put all of those sick patients in a nursing home. It's something that we should treat as a disaster. Exactly. And for many who may not know, but you both your husband's parents died and you just waged, I think you made a decision. I mean, you're a meteorologist and you're an accomplished experienced broadcaster, but I think you decided that you have a high enough, you know, you've got a platform where you could shine a light on this scandal and many credit you with bringing a lot of people to accountability over what happened. Well, I hope that happens. We still have to get there. There are many things going on behind the scenes that I hope to be able to tell you about in the next couple of months to do that to bring our families justice. But I think it's because I'm not a political person, Mike. You've known me for many years. I am the meteorologist. I deliver the forecast and when there's a serious storm like we have right now bearing down on Florida, I take my job really seriously. You know, I always say the red and blue. I see on a map or areas of low pressure and high pressure. And I sort of like to keep it that way, but when I realized that there was deep corruption and something that was really evil going on. And I had the ability to bring awareness to what was happening here in New York during the pandemic. I had to do it on behalf of the over 15,000 elderly that perished and were really put in harm's way..

"That it's a power line. Sometimes it's not. It could be a communications line or a cable line, but you should assume it's a power line. You should assume it's energized, and you should stay away. Florida light and power waiting and ready tonight is hurricane Ian as eyes for Florida's West Coast on a path to hit the Peninsula tomorrow. Two and a half million people ordered to evacuate. Florida governor Ron DeSantis listed cities like Sarasota and Fort Myers as places, which will deal with historic flooding and urge residents there to evacuate. Hurricane Ian making landfall in western Cuba as a major hurricane, leaving 1 million people without electricity, you'd expect it to strengthen into a cat four storm. Ian making it landfall early today in Cuba is panora de la Rio province, where officials set up 55 shelters in evacuated 50,000 people. Fema's got a close eye on hurricane Ian, the storm expected to slam into the West Coast of Florida, fema chief deanne criswell says the storm surge from Ian will be powerful and shouldn't be underestimated. Ian is moving toward western Florida at approximately 12 mph. And at this time we are expecting landfall somewhere between Fort Myers and Tampa. She also warned about the possibility of tornadoes, Chris wall said fema will be fully ready with emergency assistance once the storm passes. Storm surge is a leading cause of hurricane related fatalities. If people are told to evacuate by their local officials, please listen to them. Meantime, remnants of Ian expected to move into the tri state by this weekend.

"Roger. I know that the national hurricane center just released its latest expectations, bring us up to date on what they're predicting in terms of landfall. Well, they've turned the hurricane a little bit away from the immediate Tampa Bay Area to Venice, Florida, which is south of Sarasota, sort of between Sarasota and Fort Myers. It's a town of about 23,000 known for its shark teeth, which are frequently found on its beach and its lovely architecture. Like Venice, and it's just a beautiful little city. And that's where they think it's going to be hit by 125 mph winds, at least a category three storm in about 35 hours. So that is ground zero now. However, we are not out of the Woods in the Tampa Bay Area. This could change and we are still going to feel the effects much of Florida is going to feel the effects of this no matter where it hits. But this Venice is the dominion. This is somewhat, you know, I'm guardedly optimistic because this is a little bit of better news, obviously than a direct hit for Tampa and saint Pete. Now again, as I keep getting reminded from people by people who've lived through these hurricanes in Florida, things could change, but this is a little bit of good news for Tampa Bay in saint Pete, right? This is modified good news. It is not bad news, but it is not great news because we are still north of this and it is going to be moving through the state to the north and to the east. If it stays on its current path. So we are not out of the Woods by any stretch of the imagination.
