Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
All right, good morning to you. Welcome to the show.
Jimmy Lakey is my name, and pleasure to have you here.
It's the let's see Thursday, the tenth day of October,
year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four. And boy, that
Milton crashed into Florida last night, Hurricane Milton. Across the
screen now in my studio. It says, Milton carves a

(00:34):
path of destruction across Florida. The best news of the
night is if Florida, excuse me, Tampa avoided some of
that storm surge that early in the week they thought
they may get But even in Tampa that they said,
which was the northern edge of that store of the
northern part of the storm, north of the eye, they said,
it's still not safe to go out. Orlando this morning
is on the other side, has a mess going on

(00:57):
as well. So breaking new throughout the morning as the
sun comes up in Florida and everybody gets to see
what the damage is and how bad it is and
what the recovery will be. But our thoughts and yes
even our prayers go to the people in Florida that
have suffered through that. And many people are away from
home and they don't know what their house is going

(01:18):
to look like when they get back. I know people
that are there. They said they have no clue what
to expect that. I talked to a friend who has
a has a sixty foot boat. That's a big boat
and in the Sarasota area and he doesn't live there
full time, but he boarded up the house. They had
the house boarded up as best as possible, and said
he kind of expects the boat to He don't know

(01:40):
where they'll find the boat is because it's bored up,
it's held up. But if that hits right, if it
was as bad as what they think, he says, well,
who knows where the boat will be found. If the
boat will be found sixty feet, so again not an
don't know how that works. But he was not expecting
to see, well, he was expecting to see some pretty
big game image and some loss of property for sure.

(02:02):
All right, good to have you here on the radio.
Of course, we will talk about Florida and Milton and
how that will affect We'll talk to Jay ratlifflater on
the program, or Aviation and Travel Expert, because he's going
to tell us when we'll travel start to resume back
into Florida, And of course as we head into the
fall and the winter months, a lot of folks like
to do their winters in Florida, coming down from the

(02:24):
colder weathers, especially the Northeast and other places. A lot
of folks like the vacation in Florida during the wintertime.
Is here damage that's going to prevent some of the
wintering or is there damage going to prevent some of
the tourists and deserve just what's the recovery time? Even
to open up the airports again. Even Orlando had shut
down earlier this week except for emergency and well non

(02:48):
passenger flights, but they wanted supplies and emergency things like
that flying into orlandos. So we'll talk all about it
throughout the morning. And again, the storm is just going
off that east coast right now. I'm looking at a
reporter standing in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and he's still in
quite a bit of wind. But there are people out
there on the beach and running around and the sun's

(03:09):
starting to break through, So it looks like the worst
has gone and now it's just recovery and starting the
restoration process. I've got a photo I want to put
up on my social media sides. I'll put it up
on Facebook, I'll slap it up on Twitter. And it's
a photo of some I forgot the name of the reporter.
I'll put it up here in just a moment. It
was on I think it was on Fox News and
he's standing out. Yeah, it was Fox News. He was

(03:31):
talking to the Sean Hannity program and he's out there
reporting on Hurricane Milton and the guys having to crouch
down a couple of times. You saw some flashes behind
him where power lines were falling. The guy's got goggles
in a helmet. He can't hear his mic keeps cutting out.
Hannity kept going to them two or three times. Well
he cut out. We'll come back to him. Does anybody

(03:52):
understand what the point of Sean Hannity or Fox News
or anybody risking these cats lives to have some dude
on the street in the middle of a storm. Was
there anybody I'm sitting there watching some of the coverage
last night and going, get the hell inside. What are
you doing? You're not proving any points to me. I
don't know what the point is. I really don't, And

(04:12):
I thought it was kind of strange that on that
show that was a Hannity program and on Fox News,
and the guy kept cutting out his microphone obviously kept
cutting out, getting soaked, and Handy said, we'll come back
to him in just a moment. The guy's about to die.
And I don't know if it's for ratings. I don't
know what the heck it's for. But you don't have
to have the man in the street. It's kind of

(04:32):
like we talked about yesterday. Before the storm even hit
the coast of Florida, I saw reporters backing in and
stepping into water just so they could have a puddle shot.
And last night they were standing out of the storm.
And I don't understand the point of it. Somebody helped
me understand. If you're watching the coverage last night of
the of the hurricane, does it do anything for you

(04:55):
as a listener to know that this person's out literally
squatting down to try to not get blowd over by
the wind? What point is that making other than somebody
has lost their marbles out there. Even this cat this
morning on my screen to the left, the wind is
whipping around. I don't know what the audio was like,
but he has a poncho type thing on and he's

(05:16):
trying to talk, and you can tell the wind is
probably hitting him fifty miles per hour and he's standing outside.
And I don't know what the point is that. We
know the wind is blowing, we know it's a hurricane,
we know the rain blows horizontally, we know that there's floods.
We know this. Why put people, especially last night, in danger.
I don't get it. And if I were an assignment
editor or something, I probably would say, what the heck

(05:38):
are we doing? A news director, I'd probably say what
the heck are we doing? But maybe you can say, no,
I go to them. That's how it's legitimate. It's only
legitimate if somebody's out. The guy had a helmet on,
like a bicycle helmet and goggles because he was worried
about flying debris, and a couple of times he would
crouch down because you could see a couple of times
power lines dropping behind him. And he's ending out there

(06:00):
in the middle of eighty mile per hour wind, almost
getting blown over. I don't know how fast the wind
was blowing. I thought it was ridiculous. I thought it
was honest honestly, I think it's journalistic malpractice. I think
these networks that are using these reporters out there, and
the reporters are going to do it. They're trying to
make a name for themselves. But as a consumer, I'm distracted.

(06:21):
I don't care about the facts of the storm. I'm
cheering for the reporter and saying, get the heck off
the street, get inside. What are you doing out there?
So I just don't understand it. But maybe you can
help me, Maybe you find it helpful to see these
people standing out in the streets. I don't understand why
you need to do it. I think we all are
grown ups and we understand that yeah it's bad, and

(06:42):
yeah there's flooding, and yeah there's horizontal winds and the
rain is going horizontally as well. We don't need a
reporter out there risking their life, having to wear a
helmet and gog goggles. But that's my opinion. But it
was anybody else disturbed last night of watching some of
the coverage. Maybe you were smarter than me and didn't
watch part of the coverage, but I was watching get
flipping through the channels, and it seemed like anybody covering

(07:03):
it had the same thing to add. Some reporter out
there standing in some hurricane force wind trying to stand
up and communicate back to home base while someone's in
a nice dry studio, And I don't get it. I
don't think it sells anything. I don't think it benefits anything.
It's kind of like sensationalism, and I'm not a big
fan of that. So if you have thoughts on that,

(07:23):
feel free eight six six triple eight fifty four to
forty nine. Eight six six, triple eight fifty four to
forty nine. I did. I found myself screaming on the television,
going get inside. What are you thinking? It was a
hand of the program with Sean let him go, and
finally he says handed. He said something like, we have
one more question and then we'll let you get back
into safety. So for the sake of your question, you

(07:44):
know the guy's in danger, and you wrap it up
there one more question before you can get inside of safety. Well,
let the guy go into safety and he can probably
still answer the question. He doesn't have to stand down
there in the line of fire to answer the question.
So anyway, that's just my opinion. I'm watching the coverage
last night, and it's one of the reasons I don't
watch a lot of cable news because it frustrates me
because I think a lot of it's just made for sensationalism.

(08:06):
A lot of the web coverage you get out there
is made for a clickbait. Then you got to kind
of sort through the details to get to the real
facts of what's really happening out there. What we do
know is the storm hit, and what we do know
the sun has come up, and what we do know
is their perusing streets is safe to find out what
the damage is. Some of the cities said it's not.
The storm search was not as bad. What I'm waiting

(08:29):
for are solid reports from Sarasota and Fort Myers, and
I haven't seen a lot of solid reporting from there yet,
So I'll keep a sharp eye on that because that's
where they think the eye of the storm crossed, and
that anything south of that. So if it crossed in Sarasota,
the flooding and the storm search was going to happen
on that south wall of that, So even down to

(08:50):
Naples could have gotten pretty much blasted. But a lot
of the camera footage and that's probably because communication is
still there, they have electricity. They're coming out of Orlando
on the east coast, and then they're coming towards the
east coast, and then they're coming out of more Central
but towards the east to further inland, and then they're
also coming out of Tampa. And that's because last night

(09:12):
there was some network saying, well, we've lost coverage down
here because the power's out. So Sarasota and southward is
where I think we need to get the real reporting.
Other than that, they're just trying to keep you hanging
on to watching news, and it's all just keep watching,
we'll get in. It's breaking news all morning, going to
be breaking news throughout the course of the morning. All right,
there are other things to talk about out there. Let

(09:33):
me ask you. I asked this question yesterday. Donald Trump
has announced he's coming to Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, that's tomorrow,
one pm Mountain time. He'll be down the street from
the broadcast studio and he'll be at the Gaylord Conference
and Events Center and hotel holding a rally highlighting illegal immigration.
And I asked the question yesterday is do you think

(09:55):
it's a beneficial move? I think at this point of
the election, remove you make has to be calculated as
a candidate, and you have to figure out how am
I going to benefit from this? And so I asked
the question, and I said, I don't know. Donald Trump's
not going to win the electoral votes of Colorado, bar

(10:15):
something crazy happening between now and then, It's just not
going to happen. So what's the benefit of him coming here?
I had Representative Greg Lopez on yesterday and he said,
because he was talking to the Trump campaign about being
at that rally and participating and doing being a part
of it, that is actually I believe most of his
district down there as well. And Greg said that he well,

(10:37):
some of that's Jason Crow as well. So you got
Jason Crow down there as well. But Greg Lopez covers
that fourth congressional district who kind of swoops around down
into Douglas County as well, and so it's in that
general region of where Aurora is at. So Greg Lopez
says he thinks it's a good thing. It will highlight
nationally the weakness of the Biden Harris administration on immigration

(11:02):
illegal immigration, So more power to him on that one.
That's good I still don't necessarily know if it's all
that greatly beneficial one o'clock on a Friday, it's going
to get some headlines. Maybe it's just a promise. He
said he's going to do it, so he doesn't want
to have egg on the face he shows up there.
Another question I asked that about Trump yesterday. I'm watching
kind of the aftermath of some of these Kamala Kamala

(11:23):
Harris press appearances, and a lot of them don't seem
to be getting all that great reviews in the non
biased media. I'm not I'm just talking to the average person,
going what was that? I mean, just online you kind
of read around that it didn't get received all that well.
So here's my question I had when you ask you
about Trump? Why is Trump going to Aurora? Does that

(11:46):
benefit him? How does that play in the last twenty
six twenty seven days before the election? And Kamala why
would you change? Why would why do you think she's
changing her strategy the past couple of days and starting
to do some interviews now, not in ass necessarily outside
of the sixty minute interview, which I think it's been
talked about extensively that that was a struggle there and

(12:07):
then sixty minutes got in the fire because they even
tried to improve some of the answers by editing things.
But why do you think she changed the strategy of
no interviews to an onslaught of interviews in forty eight hours?
The speculation is is that there's polling out there that
says people think they want to know her more. She's
not been out there, so they got to get her
out there, and so they're putting her in friendly venues.

(12:28):
So let me ask you two speculations, one on each candidate.
Why do you think DJT is coming to Aurora, Colorado?
And what benefit is that going to be for him
if any? Or is it going to be a negative
to rehighlight the Aurora situation and the immigration And why
do you think Kamala's coming out of what we call
the proverbial basement and do all these interviews? And do

(12:48):
you think they're going to help her and or hurt her?
So two ways to hypothesize and give your theories on
campaign strategy this morning for both candidates. I don't necessarily
see a great benefit for Trump going to Aurora, but
maybe it does, maybe it advances the immigration story. A

(13:08):
little bit further down the road, maybe I can see
how you make that argument, And you tell me on
the Kamala Harris thing, because all of a sudden the
strategy has changed and she's out there doing all these interviews.
Now the question is going to be is she going
to keep doing these interviews and how will they go?
A lot of them have just not been just reading online,
not the fans, not the regular critics, but just see

(13:30):
average websites out there. It didn't seem to go over
like some just leave it to that. It just didn't
seem to be all maybe as powerful and wonderful as
what she thought it might have been. So two campaigns
out there doing strategies in the last twenty to thirty
days before the election, and what do you think is

(13:53):
the benefit and are they good strategies by each candidate?
All right, again, the breaking story throughout the course of
the morning is going to be the Hurricane Milton. That's
a national story. And I've got some audio I meant
to play yesterday. This is a weatherman that was talking
about Hurricane Milton. Now this was before it hit and

(14:14):
he was brought to tears. This is a veteran Miami
meteorologist John Morales talking about the hurricane that was about
to hit the state of Florida, and he was tracking
the storm. It was still a category five when he
saw it, and was it hit ground in the category three,
so it made the landfall of the category three, but

(14:36):
it was still considered extremely dangerous. And here is Miami
meteorologist John Morales on the air, brought to tears talking
about this hurricane just an incredible Well that's not the
right one. Let's see if we can get that audio playing
a little bit better. Let's see if we can get
maybe it's going to work. I don't know. We had
trouble with you yesterday. All right, I'll work on that.

(14:56):
I'll try to figure out the audio here in just
a minute, see if we can make that work a
little bit better, because we had trouble yesterday with the
audio as well, So I'll work on that. But I
can also post the audio as well. All right, what
else do we have here? We have Brian Maloney's going
to be on the program today Red Wave America. You
never want to miss Brian Maloney, so feel free to

(15:17):
tune into that. That's at eight o'clock and then my
brother from another mother. Doug Giles is going to be
on the show as well, and you'd never want to
miss Doug Giles because you never know what Doug Giles
is going to say. Somebody told me I have the
audio this time, we think, so I'm kind of afraid
to try it, but I'll try it if you tell
me to. Okay, they told me to try it, So
let's try this one more time. The audio from my computer. Correct,

(15:41):
my computer. Here we go. Now it's still it's still
not going live radio, my friends, and we don't even
have a hurricane screwing us up. We just sound this
way automatically. It's a tough one. I also have some
audio that I got to get this working because a
woman called nine to one one in Washington, and she
called nine because her house got invaded, not by Venezuelan

(16:03):
gang members, not by Haitians. They were eating the ducks
and the cats and things. Now, this was her house
was invaded by raccoons. They were closing in on her.
About one hundred raccoons were closing in on this woman.
They broke into her house, on her property, and she
was starting to get fearful for her life and so
she called nine to one one, and I actually have

(16:24):
the nine one one call of this dear lady trying
to get help and get these raccoons off of her case.
But here's the kicker. Remember Obama's pastor her the chickens
come home to roost. The woman had been feeding the
raccoons for thirty five years. So for thirty five years,

(16:44):
this woman had been feeding these crazy raccoons and finally
a mob of them, one hundred of them, show up
at her house and it's and she's now frightened of
these raccoons. Is there any animal? Let me ask you this,
is there any animal that's more scary or frightening if
you come across a raccoon. Those things are evil. Those
things are just vicious and nasty there and they're yeah,

(17:07):
they're they're awful. I'm afraid of a raccoon. I remember
one time I was doing some work out of Boulder
and had an office up in Boulder as well, near
the campus, and I would have business on the campus
occasionally at the University of Colorado, and there was a
couple of places on the campus that you would walk
at night, and there was a family or twelve or

(17:27):
a mob of raccoon like raccoon gang members that were there,
and they would block the sidewalks and stare at you,
and you're like, I'm going to reroute. I'm going to
go like through Pueblo all the way south, like eighty
miles and come around to the backside. I'm not going
through the family of raccoons. They were vicious and and
I'm guessing that family of raccoons still lives there at
the and it was it was really more than a family,
was like a mafia. They were mafia members of the

(17:49):
raccoon clan and they were out there and they scared
the hell out of me. And I remember that at
nighttime especially. It didn't seem a daytime as much, but nighttime,
those raccoons would block the sidewalks and if you it
didn't matter why where you were going, you better find
an alternate route. So this woman had one hundred raccoons
at her house and she got fearful for her life.
But that's what you get for feeding the raccoons. Don't

(18:11):
feed the raccoons, Yeah, don't do it. They're very mean animals.
I will always argue that I don't think there's anything
more frightening or mean than one of those dang raccoons.
At least a squirrel will run away from you. Those
raccoons will come after the rabies. And they're gangsters, they
really are. So all right, we've got lots of things
to get to today. Milton news from Florida is top

(18:32):
of the game, and we will continue to cover that.
I'll try to give this audio to work. I don't
know why it's not. I got a new adapter on
this computer and they put it. We got it all.
It may have to wait. I don't know. You never
know how the equipment's going to fare. But I'll work
on it here in the break and see if I
can get this thing to work. And you can hear
the audio of John Morales, the weatherman from Miami, with

(18:55):
a heartfelt weather forecast in which he broke into tears
talking about Hurricane Milton as it was going to crash
into a state. And this was pre hit last night,
all right, waiting for reports from Sarasota and the Fort
Myers area. A lot of the reports are coming out
of Orlando and Tampa as the sun comes up, and
so let me see what we can continue to find
out the effects of Hurricane Milton, and then nine oh

(19:18):
five this morning we will talk about when will the
airport start to open and when will Florida be available
and accessible again for the citizens there after? City by city,
I'm sure, but everybody stand by. It's a breaking news Thursday.
It's Jimmy Lakey six hundred k col All right, let

(20:27):
me see this audio work this time. We're not sure.
You know, it's uh. I tell you, I'm the redheaded
step child of talk radio. So if it works, it works.
If it doesn't, it doesn't. But it's iffy. You never
know around here what's gonna actually work for a radio show.
Here we go. This is the.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
No.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't want the woman with the raccoons. I want
the veteran weather man. They got tearful. We got that one. Okay,
we're gonna see if it works here on the Laky Show.
By the way, if you want to jump in eight
six six triple eight fifty four forty nine, eight six six,
triple eight fifty four to forty nine, begin your bud,
burn your saddle, jump into the conversation. Love to hear
from you. Let's see if this works. This is Miami

(21:08):
meteorologist Jim Morales. John Morales in tears talking about this
was yesterday talking about Hurricane Milton on its way go.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Just an incredible, incredible, incredible hurricane. It has dropped, He
has dropped fifteen millibars in ten hours. I apologize, this
is just.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Horrific. John Morales obviously getting very upset here. Ron de
Santas says that Tampa Airport should be opened by tomorrow.
So that answered a question we had earlier today. How
quick will Florida begin to reopen to the public and
people wanting to come in here and help volunteers, et
cetera that aren't driving in Just when will it reopen?

(21:58):
Tampa Airport ship be open by tomorrow. Again, there's a
lot of reporting we're not getting yet. Everybody's focused on Tampa,
but this storm really targeted right towards Sarasota. Sista Key
is where it came. Csta Key floor is where it
really came a bullseye on, and that's a Sarasota area,
and not getting a lot of reporting about there. There's

(22:19):
an airport in Sarasota, of course, and Fort Myers is
down there, so we're waiting on information. There a lot
of focus has been on Tampa, and that's where they
can get reporters in. But we're still waiting on stuff
from CS toa Key, the Sarasota area and Fort Meyer.
It's just not there. On a lighter note, I mentioned
this and somebody else sent me a message, Yeah, raccoons
are evil. I have the random struggle from the hurricane

(22:41):
to the raccoons, but I want to throw this in here.
Women in Washington called the police. Her property was being
invaded by more than one hundred raccoons. They were closing
in on her. She ran for her life. It turns
out she'd been feeding the raccoons for thirty five years.
And I want to play some audio. This is Kevin McCarty,
a spokesperson for the kit samp County Sheriff, also part

(23:02):
of the Ladies nine to one one call, and an
affected neighbor of the one hundred raccoons. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
She felt that the raccoons were threatening.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
This is something you don't see every day.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Thirty five years ago, you first started fiends raccoons, and
then when all of a sudden, did it explode like
this six weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Six weeks ago, they were shocked.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
They had never seen how many raccoons in one place.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I've had several raccoons in the yard recently. My dogs
have gotten a scuffle several times with raccoons. I even
had to take one of my dogs to the vet
after tussling with a raccoon.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
So thirty five years you've been feeding the raccoons and
then an army of him. It passes out in the
raccoon neighborhood that this woman's got food and one hundred
of them show up and she has to call nine
to one one. Don't feed the raccoons, jack Wagons, don't
do that. It's a bad thing. Those are evil animals.
They probably should have been extinct with the dinosaurs, but
they were not. For some reason. The Good Lord kept
him on the planet. And I'm not sure what purpose

(23:57):
they serve. But yeah, don't feed the ract coons, and
they are bad, bad animals, bad bad animals, my humble opinion.
All right, good to have you here on the radio show.
I have this question that's going out there for I
got a couple of questions out there. I got to
get this photo posted. Now that I got the audio fixed,
I'll post this photo of It's a photo of a
guy in Fox News last night. He was on the

(24:17):
hand of the show. I'm sure he was on all
the shows. I just was flipping between all the networks
to get the coverage of Hurricane Milton before I headed
off to my early bedtime, and I saw this guy
out there. He had a helmet on. He's a reporter.
He had a helmet, he had goggles on. His mic
kept coming out. There were power lines you could see
flashing a couple of times behind him going down. And

(24:39):
he's out there literally had to get in kind of
a squat position just to keep from getting blown over
in the hurricane velocity win and the segment I saw again.
He probably was on all the Fox shows last night,
And I'm sure all the networks had these guys out there.
People out there, But what's the point of having these
reporters out there in the line of danger where they
have to squat to take a question? And then at

(25:00):
the very end of he kept cutting out. We'll come
back to him in a moment when he regains connection.
What he may regain the connection forty miles down the
road when the hurricane blows his ass down the street.
What are we doing? And then at the very end,
it was Handedy, the host that said, Okay, we'll let
you get back to safety after this one last question.
I'm like, what are we thinking? Is there anybody watching

(25:20):
these hurricanes this hurricane coverage and thinking gets necessary to
have these people. I get it, you want to stand
in some water. I get it, you want to show
some wind blowing. But reporter after report around there, many
of them have helmets on and goggles because the debris
is a real deal. And does it add anything to
the coverage other than just maybe make you want to
watch it to see if someone dies. I don't understand

(25:41):
the point of having these reporters out there last night,
and I think it's a I think it's just wrong
for the journalists to be told to be out there,
and they want to make a name for themselves, and
it sounds really cool, but it's a very dangerous situation.
And I'm watching this cat last night on Fox News
and I'll post a snapshot that took my screen, and
I have to ask you what point did it make?
Did it did it make me feel like Fox News

(26:05):
knew more about this hurricane than anybody else? Did it
make me think that CNN's reporter knew more than somebody else. No,
it never makes me think that instead of rather than
focusing on the fact of the storm, I'm the guy
screaming at the television, going get inside, get inside, stop
this stuff. So I like your thoughts on when I
post the photo of it's going to go started at
facebook dot com slash Jimmy Lakey fan page. I like

(26:27):
your thoughts on this photo and tell me because it
happens in every storm, and we'll get this in Colorado.
We'll give this in blizzards. People be on blizzard like conditions,
sub zero zero, dangerous weather and they'll be out there
trying to do news report and they can barely speak
because their mouth is frozen, frostbite is at risk. But
for some reason, we think that we need to have
these people out there standing and standing on the street corner.

(26:50):
I get it. The news crews go out there and
they film, but the actually put the reporters out there
when debris is flying in power lines are dropping. That's
what I don't understand. I can appreciate that you know,
they're filming through the windshield, or they got a film crew,
or they I can appreciate that they have people stationed
to hit the road the next morning. It's some shelter
or some hotel that they're going to leave early. I

(27:13):
get that, But in the height of the storm, when
the eye and the storm is blowing ashore and the
windsor category three to category four speed hitting you, what
point is there to have a reporter out there that
can barely stand up there might keeps cutting out and
you have to conclude the interview say we'll let you
get back to safety after I ask a question to me.

(27:35):
That's the arrogance of these hosts out there. They should say, no,
we're not having this guy on my show because he's
in danger. What you're saying is, hey, you stay in
danger until I'm done with you, and then I'll let
you get back to safety. I just think it's a
it's journalistic, journalistically irresponsible for these networks to keep doing it.
But again, that's the problem of the twenty four hour
news cycle. It has to be sensational, has to have

(27:57):
tabloid type antics, and so you've got reporters out there
that are doing stupid things and it's it's not real smart.
And I watched it on a couple of the networks
last night. I just happened to take the screenshot of
the Fox News reporter out there crouching down to it
because he couldn't even stand up, and like three or
four times they had to cut away and come back
to him while they tried to get him get him

(28:18):
back out there. And then there's probably a camera person
out there as well. I mean, they're really for there's
no point. It's not like I learned anything else from
this guy than I would have from anybody else out
there covering guy. I knew this storm was bad. I
could see it, and there's no need to have a
guy out there in a helmet and goggles risking his life. Well,
power lines are falling around him. I'm going to post
that photo at Facebook dot com slash Jimmy lakeyfanpage, Facebook

(28:42):
dot COM's last Jimmy Lakey fan page. I have a
story here that the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is now
threatening a lawsuit against a group called Evangelicals for Harris.
It's a political action committee that has rolled out a
million dollar campaign and they're using footage of the Reverend

(29:03):
Billy Graham using it to attack Donald Trump and the
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association says that's not what that footage
is for. That footage is a sermon that was preached
by Billy Graham. It's proprietary to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association,
and you're infringing on our copyrights. So far, the Harris
Evangelicals for Harris has refused to pull it down, so

(29:25):
there could be a lawsuit brewing between the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association and the Evangelicals for Harris Committee. I'll get
you the full story on the other side of this break.
Don't go anywhere. Lakey is on the radio. You're in
front of the speakers the way the Good Lord intended
it to be. I'll be back Lakey, six hundred k

(29:46):
col There's probably a lot of people in Florida saying, Hey,
get out of here. I don't want to live here.
Hurricanes happen. It's been a rough hurricane year for him.

(30:06):
And you know every year there's people that want to
move in or out of Colorado. They say, I don't
like the blizzards, or I don't like the snow, or
I don't like the cold, or I want to move
to Colorado's I can go skiing. Listen, it didn't matter
whether you're buying or selling and moving in or out.
I need to give you a name, and you got
to remember. This name is Rob Kittele Robkittle dot com.
Rob Kittle is who I would call if I was

(30:28):
going to sell the house of Lakey today. Listen, before
you even consider calling another realtor, you got to go
to Robkittle dot com. You can even get an instant
cash offer after just a couple of clicks robkittle dot com.
You can have a cash offer in under sixty seconds.
Or if you've got questions, maybe you want to get
top dollar for that home, and you've got questions like
I should I wait to sit at the right time,

(30:48):
I don't know what about the interest rate? Listen to
call Rob Kittell. The expertise of that team is just phenomenal.
He's got a lot of different options from that instant
cash offer too. He can give you three offers within
seventy two hours and gives you no open houses, no repairs,
no hassles to worry about, just cash in hand. Or again,
let him put that home selling system to work for
you and you'll find out amazingly. How he gets top dollar.

(31:10):
He's got buyer standing by See, he spends thousands of
dollars in marketing every month, and the average agent spends
a couple one hundred, like less than a car payment.
Rob Kittle, his marketing system is on a whole different level.

All right, good to have you here on the radio show.
Coming up, we will dive into a little bit of
more about Hurricane Milton the damage. We hear the Tampa
airport could be open tomorrow. Our aviation and travel expert

(31:55):
Jay Ratliff will be on the show at about nine
oh five this morning to give us kind of the
full update on what it takes to get these airports
back open. I do know that they fly a lot
of these the planes are not at the airports right now.
They've moved a lot of their fleet out, and so
they're going to have to have some deadhead flights back
in there, or at least start flying people back into
those airports and get to get actually aircraft there. They

(32:16):
move the aircraft out of there, oftentimes so that they're
not damaged during the storm. So a lot of these
airports are more empty. I should say that. I'm not
gonna say there's no planes there, probably in hangars, et cetera,
but a lot of the planes have been moved out
by the major airlines that they're gonna have to get
those restation and reposition. Jay Ratliffe is an expert on this,
and he's dissecting the information as we speak, and we'll

(32:38):
talk to him at nine oh five this morning about
the recovery of Florida. Ron de Santas is giving an
update right now. If he's just still going after this break,
we'll cut into that. He's talking about the Milton damage.
He's in tallahassee a lot of footages coming in from
Cocoa Beach, Orlando and Tampa. I'm still not seeing anything

(32:59):
really come again. I'll dive into it during this break
anything coming in from Sarasota ces toa Key and the
Fort Myers area, and that is where the crux of
this thing probably crossed into last night. And there's still
not a lot here. The Santists may be giving some information,
but as far as video footage and reporting, it does
not exist at this point that I have seen. Milton

(33:21):
has now moved off the east coast of Florida back
out to the Atlantic, and Florida is experiencing very clear
skies after a very stormy night. And we'll continue to
just keep you posted on all of that here on
this Thursday edition of the radio show. Again. Here's how
you contact me, Jimmy Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com, Facebook
dot com, slash Jimmy Lakey fan page, the Twitter, the

(33:43):
ex is just my name, Jimmy Lakey and the Truth
social as well. And my phone numbers eight six six,
triple eight, fifty four to forty nine. And I will
get that photo up on the Facebook. It's a photo
of a reporter last night, risking life and limb and
I'm asking the question, is it really necessary for these
reporters out there as you watch cover of a storm
or something like this. Do they really need to be
other in helmets? Well, what purpose is it? It seems

(34:05):
like it's a little bit too risky, and I'm not
sure that what it gets other than just kind of
a sensational, sensational camera shot. But does it convince you
that is that this is any that this is any
better coverage? All Right? I just now looked up wtvt
out of Sarahsoda has one shot they're putting out and

(34:27):
it looks like a boat is half in the water
and half up on a dock. That's the first footage
I've seen of Sarasota this morning. Everybody stand by Laky
on the radio, Good Morning Colorado, and everybody elsewhere listening
on the iHeartRadio app. It's six hundred KCl.
