Speaker 1 (00:00):
Integrity, honesty Facts, The Brian Mutt Show Florida News that
Impact You Brian mud and Joel Malkolm with You. Florida's
Torney General, Ashley Moody, has sued the Biden Harris administration
for failing to comply with the state's Freedom of Information
Act requests into the ninety nine illegal immigrants on the
US Terror Watch lists that were allowed into the interior.

(00:23):
But he had previously requested information from the administration to
attempt to discern how many Terror Watch members and other
criminal illegal aliens may have migrated into Florida and where
they may be, Quoting Moody, we are demanding to know
reasons why the Biden administration is releasing criminal illegal aliens
in US prisons directly into the interior, rather than deporting

(00:44):
them back to their country of origin. This reckless scheme
could have disastrous and serious repercussions, and the American people
deserve to know. The West bom Beach Police Department seeking
forty two thousand dollars for the purchase of e bikes
to be used for patrolled by law enforcement in Northwood
and in downtown West Palm. Currently, the police department is

(01:05):
twelve ee bikes in use and is seeking an expansion
of their use to increase visibility and flexibility while on patrol.
The City Commission will consider the measure in the meeting
next Monday. Acuweather, which originally suggested suggest that this year's
hurricane season would be quote unquote explosive in its record setting. Yes,

(01:28):
something like that was what they were talking about in
April and their record setting preseason hurricane forecast. I'll look
at this. They issued a revision downgrading their expectations for
activity yesterday. The updated forecast now calls for quote unquote
above average activity for the season, with the midpoint of
eighteen name storms, as opposed to the most aggressive preseason

(01:49):
forecast ACU Weather had previously issued. The weather agency noted
that the current lull in organized tropical activity is the
longest during the peak weeks of hurricane season that we've
experienced in twenty seven years. No mention of Saharan dust,
you know, honestly, did I see any mention of saharan dust? No?

(02:10):
But did I give them the time of day to
go all the way through their thing the same way
I did originally? It might have buried it somewhere in there. Yes,
I don't want to say that there wasn't something somewhere
that nothing I read, but I would just anybody who's
been following this in my coverage of it knows how
annoyed I've been at the lack of accurate dissemination of

(02:31):
information regarding what this hurricane season was always likely to
be because of Saharan dust, because the narrative that you know,
climate change makes everything worse, always without realizing that, hey,
you know, if we have more Saharan dust because of
climate change, you know that can mitigate tropical development. Dealer.
But anyway, so yeah, that's what tools referencing. It'll be

(02:52):
hot today with showers possible throughout the day in his
near ninety tents, about five degrees warmer than usual for
this day. National Hurricane Center tracking three disturbances, all with
a low chance of development. A disturbance of the Caribbean
Sea drifting towards the Yucatan Peninsula with a thirty percent
chance of development. That's down from yesterday. Second disturbance in
the Southern Atlantic has a ten percent chance of development.

(03:13):
A third disturbance off the coast of Africa has also
been downgraded at touch to a thirty percent chance of development.
Over the next week. Gas prices they dropped another two
cents per gallon Yesterday average price four regular and Leeded
in Florida currently three twenty six per gallon, and the
Balon Beaches average price at three forty five, Barton three
thirty two, and an Indian River County at three twenty

(03:34):
eight per gallon. I had some national headlines former President
Trump pleading not guilty after he was once again indicted
for election interference in twenty twenty. Special Council Jack Smith
filed a revised indictment last week after the Supreme Court
ruled former presidents have some immunity for their actions while
in office. Trump yesterday directed his legal team to plead
not guilty on his behalf. Meanwhile, judge is denying Trump's

(03:55):
bid to get his hush money case moved to federal court.
Former president convicted on thirty five four counts of falsifying
business records during the twenty sixteen election. It had since
requested the case be moved to federal court, arguing the
New York courts were biased against him. Vice President Kamala
Harris expect to announce an economic proposal. Today, she'll be
on the campaign trail in New Hampshire outlining proposed tax

(04:16):
deductions for small business startups. Or plan would increase the
deduction from five thousand to fifty thousand dollars. And those
are some national headlines.
