Senior official in the Florida Attorney General's Office, tells me
they've wrapped up their initial investigation into the Indian illegal
alien truck driver who killed three people in a crash
in Florida back in August, and the results of that
probe are startling, to say the least. I'm told that

(00:42):

brakes exam twice, and that the Washington State company who

He is now charged with killing three people in four Pierce, Florida,
after making illegal U turn on a highway while he

(01:03):
was behind the wheel of a semi truck.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
And we just had Brian A similar case just this
past week in Ontario, California with another illegal immigrant from
India who I don't remember the exact details on the crash,
but driving a semi and he killed people in this
country illegally. Yep. Unreal.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Unreal California and Washington State for you, both which issued
cbls to the aforementioned and a state where things make sense,
Governors DeSantis announced nearly one billion dollars in auto insurance
refunds are going to be issued by Progressive Auto Insurance
to policy holders, the largest auto insuran the state, by

(01:45):
the way, as a result of Florida's insurance market recovering
from the litigation crisis that existed prior to legislative reforms
in recent years. The governor also said it's likely other
auto insurers will soon announce premium refunds as well. The
governor also noted that the top five to ensures in
the state have reduced premiums by an average of six
and a half percent year of a year as reforms

(02:05):
have taken hold. Martin County School Board has ended the
long standing no zero policy, which prevented teachers from issuing

Sundy Today, gusty wins is going to keep getting windy

(02:40):
or windy er in the afternoon. Highs in the low
to mid eighties, pretty typical for this day. You have
it thin layers aharon dust that is over the Southern
Caribbean islands right now in Nispinola into US and then
you take a look what's behind. You got another plume
that is currently working off the coast of Africa. Again,
these are starting to get thinner, but it's still coming out.

(03:01):
And one of the big things is that tropical Storm
melissas the Hurricanes Center is tracking, that has stayed to
the west of where these heron does is tracking and
so that's part of why it's going to be able
to develop into a major hurricane this weekend. As it
is expected to stall in the vicinity of Jamaica, and

(03:21):
I got to tell you, taking a look at what's
shaping up here, if it does play out the way
that the hurricanes cent are currently things, man, you need
to save some prayers for the Jamaicans that island. This
looks to me, just again where we sit right now,
to be the worst situation we've seen since Storian. When
it's stalled around Marsh Harbor. You're talking about a major

(03:45):
hurricane for the better part of four days, sitting in
a very similar vicinity. And if it sits just south
now you got the sharpest end of the stick, you
get the worst part of the storm that's over the
island for days, with all of that water, storm storge
on the coastlines, but then also all of that wind
and then all of that rain, and so it's just

(04:08):
going to be a really awful situation there. And then
it's expected a cross to the northeast, probably over Jamaica
at that point, and the best case scenario would be
Melissa shooting the gap between Cuba and Espaniela, so it
stays offshore as much as possible. It looks like it

(04:30):
could clip Cuba as it heads towards the Southern Bahamian Islands.
Heading towards the Central Atlantic, gas price is flat to lower.
