• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Landfall Hurricane Milton, and now, sir, you are cordially invited
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to get that hell off the state, which it is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: doing right now. Give you the tail of the tape
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: on that all the details and some of the damage
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: assessments they know is like Dawn's today so far anyway,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and some of the damage, by the way, in surprising places.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's the takeaway for all of us me
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: included on how much damage these things can cause away
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: from the eye of the storm. All right, that coming up,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: But we also have this a Lieutenant Dan update. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: think you're really gonna like you're not familiar with Lieutenant Dan.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He's the one legged sailor who decided to ride out
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the hurricane in his sailboat. That's coming up as well.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: This too, we're gonna get to an unbelievable school safety issue,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: an irresponsible school safety issue coming out of Spring Texas.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We got to get to and spirit Halloween, not just
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for Halloween anymore. All of that coming up. Let's get
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to the stuff. It's Thursday tenth, Thanks for finding wicked radio.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: All right, Landfall, here's the tale of the tape, as
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: they like to call it. With Hurricane Milton, by the way,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: retire that name. This is the second time they've used it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's a stupid name. We don't ever want to hear
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: it again, not for people, just for the storm. Just
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: just retire that thing, would you. Hurricane Center, it officially
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: made landfall as A three, as a Cat three at
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty and c s to Key south
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of Tampa Bay. It was officially they calling an eight
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern time last night. Maybe the good news
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: this is one of the few things that surprised them
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: on this storm is that it did die down a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: little bit right before landfall. And it sounds bizarre to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: talk about a Cat three dying down because let's remember,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for a long stretch of time, it was over twenty
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: four hours as it was developing and building, this stupid
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: thing was a five. I forget about that. So I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: want to count your blessings, you know, three five At
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: least it wasn't a five hitting that area, and it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was a little bit south of Tampa Bay. But overall, though,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I gotta say this, We've been talking about the modeling
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a lot with spaghetti models, and Mike from Mike's Weather
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: page does an amazing job compiling these things so much
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: so they're really He's played a big part enforcing the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: National Hurricane Center and the Weather Channel to talk about
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: models and not just the cone because they got it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: so right, I mean almost exactly pinpointed on this thing, where, when,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and how strong it was going to be. So I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, they really nailed it as of this morning,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and this will change probably a little bit up. This
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is usually how it goes in Florida, but then it'll
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: adjust down as they prepare for this three million plus
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: without power in the state of Florida so far. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: got to say this though, too. And you can take
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: this as political or not, but I will tell you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: desatus is great in an emergency, In a situation like this,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the guy is a great manager. So much so listen
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to this number. It's not just coming from me. Fifty thousand,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand utility workers. We're staged on hand and are
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: working right now getting that power back. Fifty thousand just him.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's also you know, the true enough, the FEMA director
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: round here and the state emergency manager working together. Unbelievable
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: job out of them. They just you may not like him,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you may be upset that he ran against Trump. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you just don't like him personally or
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: his policies. You can't deny this. The guy does a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: great job in emergency preparation and he worked his butt
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: off throughout this entire thing. All right, one of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: more dramatic pieces of damage that you saw, because it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: an amazing video. And now the drone footage over the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: head is in Tampa Bay at Saint Pete at Tropic
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Canna Field that is, maybe was, I don't know, the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: home of the Tampa Bay Rays, the baseball team. The
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: entire roof is gone.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: A big portion of it has ripped off. We're looking
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: inside Tropic Cana Field. We are seeing extreme damage to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: try we had actually there was a report we saw
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: online earlier of a fire and we were waiting to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: confirm that and now we just made it up to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the floor of the hotel we are in, and I just,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to believe what we're looking at.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unreal, it really is. And I know we're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: mostly audio here, but you got to look at the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: drone footage of this thing now, and the real shame
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of it is with the roof being gone, off that thing.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: This was an area because the rays aren't playing right
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: now where they were staging. A lot of those first
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: responders and utility workers we were talking about, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the people over in Bay aren't talking about any injuries
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: or fatalities. Thank God, that's great news. But man, I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: tell you, that thing is just dramatic. But there's also this.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: This is a huge takeaway from this particular storm. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: think the meteorologists learned a lot, but regular citizens like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you and me, everybody everywhere, not just in a hurricane state, everywhere.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Listen to the tornado warnings wherever you are now. People
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in Texas and Oklahoma and Nebraska, they know what the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: deal is. They know exactly the kind of damage and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: how quickly it can come up. But for a lot
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of Floridians, and I got to call myself now that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, transplanted down here and yeah, not really
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: growing up around tornadoes. Boy, if we didn't learn a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: lot from this one. So where I am in South Florida,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I know we were nowhere near the center of the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: cone of this thing as it as it came to sure,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I mean nowhere. This was essentially north of the of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Lake Okeachobee and I'm in southeastern Florida and still and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they always talk about this, you know, bottom right hand
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: corner of where a storm is, it's where all the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: tornadic activity is. And boy, didn't that come out to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be true. There are where there were one hundred and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: seventeen reported tornado warnings. At least nineteen of them touched
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: down on a lot of damage. Now in Saint Lucie County,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: two counties up from me. Four people died from them.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Also reported in Fort Pierce and in Wellington. Now that's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: really close to me where there were some massive damage.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go to one of those highway videos right now
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and the sound from that these This is just a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: couple traveling in Fort Pierce. I think they were on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: ninety five. As they were going southbound, and as they're
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: looking at this tornado ahead of them, this thing came
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Sky's darkened, and again we're not near
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the cone of this We weren't really near the cone
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of this thing, and flipped a semi oh violent tornado,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: violent violent, hcause it's getting worse ahead of them.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Just took out a semi truck.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It's dangerous, man, I gotta tell you. And sure enough,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you know, tornado warnings were going off pretty much everywhere
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: throughout Florida yesterday. And you gotta heat those things, you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: really do. I won't ever fault anybody for putting up
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: shutters or whatever you want to do early, because I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: don't know how much you can do to prepare against
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the tornado. But man, don't be out in the middle
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of it, like these poor folks got stuck. There's also
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: something way closer to home to me, and I think
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this girl drops an s bomb. Sorry about that, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it shows you the dramatic effect of this thing. They're
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: just in suburban Wellington, Florida, and this thing came out
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. Oh my god, Oh the scary stuff. Man.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You gotta heat it. So you pray for those people,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: for sure. And I think we learned a lot from that,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: for sure. All Right, enough of that, let's get to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the good news, Lieutenant Dan. If you're not familiar with
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Dan's story, where have you been? Don't you know?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The whole world, the Western hemisphere is captivated. I know.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It's just something fun to follow one legged sailor in
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay riding out Milton and They tried to talk
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: him out of it, to try to evacuate him in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: his twenty foot sailboat. Well, turns out everybody we think.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: He made it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Dan, are you okay? Here? He is, Are you okay?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Are you sure? I think you made it? Do the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: worst of it, Luke. The water's all receiving here, he
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: asked the kid taking the video. He goes, he's a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: good sailor, he knows what he's doing. But crazy, yeah, stupid, yeah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but still a brave American said, is the water receding
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on that side? And he was talking about the other
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: side of the pier where he's like roped off to.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He gave himself a lot of rope on this thing,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, it looks like Lieutenant Dan made it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He's I've heard the criticism already from emergency officials. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: get it. It's irresponsible. They're mad at the media outlets,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they're mad at people like you and me talking about this.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: We don't want to encourage people doing this kind of stuff.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: We were just looking for some hope. Everybody was rooting
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: for Lieutenant Dan to make it. It looks like he did.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Is he crazy? Yeah? Was it a stupid thing to do. Okay, yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but let's let's face facts. Is this guy one of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the one of the best badasses of American strength we've
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: ever seen. Yeah, you're damn right he is, Lieutenant Dan.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I gotta call him a hero. But he's pretty freaking awesome.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Well, I just know every
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: news outlet in the world is going to talk to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this guy soon. What he's and again he said before
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he goes, I got room on the I got room
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on the boat for one more female ladies. So you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: want a ride out the next door with Lieutenant Dan?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Is one leg He's all yours? All right, this is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a crazy story, and I want to go to the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: exact news story from ABC outlet in Spring Texas for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: this to make sure I got it right, because this
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: is nuts. There's an investigation underway after the Spring School
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: District teachers, two of them were accused of giving elementary
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: special stickers. Well do you hear what kind of stickers?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: They're believed to be sleeping aids As of this point,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it's Northgate Crossing Elementary in Spring Texas. They were removed
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: from class and placed on administrative leave as police investigate
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the allegations. Now, what's going to blow your mind is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: how long it took local officials there and school officials
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to make a statement. First and foremost, let's go to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the parents and they tell the story better than I can.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: She said, it's a sleeping sticker. I asked her, where
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: do you get this? She's like, well, my teacher gives
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: it to me for a sleeping time. The next day
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: we went up to the school. We bought the evidence
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: up there, we filed a report. We did say we
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: wanted to follow criminal charges if this is something that's true.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: He said, yes, mommy, I'll get a special sticker. I said,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: what does the sticker look like? He said, I get
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: it right here on my hand, and it has the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: storms with the clouds and the stars in a moon.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, these parents, a lot of them, not just those two.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Those were too willing to talk to. Was it ABC
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: thirteen out of Texas September twenty fourth they report the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: incident September twenty fourth. Okay, those two teachers were suspended.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: We know that while the investigation is going underway, two
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: weeks went by and they didn't hear anything. Two weeks.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Would you send your kid to this school in that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: particular classroom. If two weeks went by, he didn't get
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: any answers. So that's why they went to the media
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: obviously and were there was there a physical effect on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: these kids? Yeah, it wasn't just these two. They were
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: also saying that they noticed a pattern amongst a lot
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of the kids and maybe it's psychosomatic. I don't know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of them weren't sleeping at night because they
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: were probably coming off the sleepy stickers high or lower,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Here's the official announcement
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that just came from the school district. Two weeks after
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the fact, there were away of allegations to staff members
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: in North Kate Crossing allegedly administered sleeping supplements to the students.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: They were immediately removed. We're working with the Springs Police Department.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: District takes every allegation of educator misconducts seriously. Do you
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: if it took two weeks to make a statement, I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: can't do what you want. But if this isn't a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: shining example of school choice, I don't know what is.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: If I ever ever found out any of my kids
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: or somebody I care about was giving something that affected
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: their body and their chemical makeup. I can't even begin
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to tell you the holy hell I would create in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this place. But man, I don't know what the result
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is that going to be. But you wait two weeks
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to get people a response. All right, we got something
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: after all of this death and destruction. And thankfully, hey,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know what, we barely talked about politics today. That's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the good news of it. That's one thing we could
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: be great. How about this? And there's a hidden little
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: nugget in this story that should give you a pretty
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: good takeaway in the state of commercial real estate. But
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: on the surface, it's all about this. You know, those
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween stores that are everywhere. We always arrive around,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, come around like late late summer. I'll be
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: driving around with one of my kids or my wife
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and I'll say, yeah, I wonder where the Spirit Halloween
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: store is going to be this year. You look for
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: empty retail space, maybe over there, over there, Well, a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: lot of them must stand. And this makes all the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: sense in the world from a business perspective. Ten for now,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween locations are going to be switching over to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: get ready Spirit Christmas stores. Things like decor, stocking, stuffers
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: photo ops with Santa. It makes sense they pop up
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in late summer. As you well know, ten of them
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: are going to switch locations into Spirit Christmas in the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Northeast now, but it's just a test. It will expand
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: across the country for future years if it works out,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and you know it's going to work out, it just
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the world. Now, what this
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: should tell you is the hidden message in this is
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of empty real estate for commercial space
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: in this country, a lot. Just look at them. Look
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: at how many malls big box stores have closed down
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that are wide open. Of course they're going to open
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: up and make use of this stuff. Of course they are. Now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: if you've looked into prices for renting out commercial real estate,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it still makes absolutely no sense. Why the comm commercial
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: real estate rental prices are so high. I will never
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: understand that. But get ready for Spirit Christmas. All right,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We've got to get out of here. I'm out of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: material and I got to get going and opening up
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: my shutters again. A little bit short today, I apologize,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But there's one big takeaway on this. Make of it
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: what you will. A one legged sailor survived Hurricane Milton
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and a twenty foot sailboat, but the home of the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays did not survive. Just saying, all right,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it's just the roof. They should but they've been looking
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: for a new stadium for that place for a long time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: They should hurry up the process they got to. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: know they got approved anyway, but you hope everybody's okay
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in the wake of this storm and other issues as well.
