Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's get to today's top stories with Natalie Rodriguez. Good morning, Natalie,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Miami voters are who failed to cast ballots early are
going to get the chance to make their voice her
to choose a new mayor in tomorrow's runoff election. Now,
early voting ended yesterday and some say it was pretty simple, Oh,
extremely easy.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I was able to get in and out.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know, small changes, you know, lead to figure results.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
One of the biggest spotlights is that in nearly thirty years,
no Democrats run the city, but that could change if
former County Commissioner Eileen Higgins ends that trend tomorrow. President
Trump another Florida Republican heavy hitters like Governor DeSantis and
Senator Rick Scott. They've all weighed in for the conservative
candidate that she's running against, which is former city manager
(00:47):
and Medial Gonzales. So that's a really big position to
be in for tomorrow. There is also commission seats on
the ballot for the City of Miami as well Miami
Beach and Hyalia, so tomorrow will be a big one.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, all of these off year elections, they get a
lot more attention than they normally would because everybody's looking
for trends leading into the mid terms next year. So
turnout for early voting was about twelve point four percent. Again,
these are generally low turnout elections, so it's all about
(01:19):
just getting as many people as you can to turn
out for your particular candidate. In the mail in voting,
Democrats had a forty five percent to thirty percent lead
over Republicans. Those are votes based on party affiliation. You know,
it could be a Democrat who voted for Emelio Gonzales.
We don't know, but just go by party affiliation. Those
(01:40):
are the numbers. Than twenty five percent of independence voted
in person. Early voting went to Republicans at forty two percent,
Democrats at thirty six percent, and then NPAs at twenty
two percent. When you look at all the ballots cast
so far and early voting for tomorrow's election, Democrats lead
forty one percent to thirty four percent. So look, this
(02:04):
could go either way, I think, but Democrats they've got
a bit of you know, off year momentum. They're the
more energized party, as is pretty much always the case
when you're the party out of power, and there certainly
the party out of power, not just in DC, but
here in Florida in a huge way. So you know,
I wouldn't be surprised if Eileen Higgins were to pull
(02:25):
this out. She's actually going to be joining Manny Munos
on w IOD at ten eighteen this morning if you
want to hear what she has to say. So it
should be interesting to hear that interview as again Election
Day tomorrow, and this is one that will make some
national headlines.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
What else is going on this morning? Natalie grit Iron
action two out of three not bad. The host Jags.
They beat the Colts thirty six nineteen. The Fins beat
the hated Jets thirty four to ten in New York,
Miami's fourth straight win. Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Waddle he
says that the team kept the faith with only one
win in seven games.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
We wasn't playing out baseball early, but we know it
was a long season, like we was telling everyone.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So yeah, just everyone just sticking to the plane.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, they're at the Steelers next week. In Monday Night
Football action. They surpassed noted Dame here Bucks. They fell
to the Saints twenty four to twenty at home.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, so a couple of things. Let me start with
the Dolphins. Forty one degrees a kickoff. Anytime that the
Dolphins play in cold weather, you kind of watch it
a little closer because they haven't generally been a good
cold weather team. But they're playing the Jets, and the
Jets just suck right now. Good win for the Dolphins.
Looking at the playoff picture in the AFC, there are
(03:42):
two games back of Houston for the final wild card slot.
They could certainly beat Pittsburgh a week from today. Again,
that's gonna be another cold weather game, but it's a
game where I think go either way. Then they play
the Bengals at home and the Bucks at home. Those
are winnable games New England. I don't how much they're
gonna have to play for four on January fourth. So
I mean, not impossible for the Dolphins to run the table.
(04:05):
I wouldn't say it's likely, but I think they would
have to do that if they wanted any chance to
get in the playoffs. And even then I think it
would be an uphill climb. But playing better as of late,
no question about that. And then as for the Box,
just a bad loss. I mean that was a game
that they had to win. They could have taken a
game lead over the Panthers and just blowing it. No, yeah,
just blowing it to the Saints. Some of the play
(04:26):
calling I didn't understand. The defense didn't look good. They
just haven't looked very good lately. And that's concerning as
they've got two games against Carolina out of the final four,
and that's really going to decide if they win the
NFC South and they're not getting in if they don't
win the division. They have to win the division to
make it into the playoffs. Right, we actually have even
more sports to get to.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Short in Leonel me Seed made this game so fun
to watch over the last eighteen plus years. The best defends,
best of competitors and two of the best players connected
to each other.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
What a wild scene for Inter Miami celebrating an MLS
Cup title. The match winner Rodrigo de Paul, Miami winning
its first ever Cup. The club took down Vancouver three
to one in the final, and it was electric to
see the whole sea of pink at Chase Stadium.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Is awesome. Yeah, and soccer was dominating the news in
South Florida last couple of days. You had that You
also have FIFA confirming the Miami Dad's going to host
four World Cup matches at hard Rock Stadium next summer.
Some big ones too, including you know, Brazil, Columbia, Portugal
all playing in those matches, and then Miami's going to
(05:49):
host the tournament's bronze final on July eighteenth. And we
also had a little news from the President tied to
the FIFA World's Cup. He received the first ever FIFA
Peace Prize. A. He got that honor while he was
attending the twenty twenty six World Cup draw in Washington,
(06:11):
d C. Concert. Yeah, boy, FIFA knows how to play
the president insane. Peace Prize. Yeah, here's the FIFA piece pride.
We just we just came up with this just for you.
And he loved that. And then the President jumped into
the debate over the name of the sport here in
(06:31):
the US. I thought this was interesting, He told the
crowd at the FIFA event, you thinks soccer here should
really be called football? It is football, it is everywhere else,
but here. I mean we call it soccer. There's only
one football. I don't know that that's going to be
a popular take on the president. Not football. It's yes, yeah,
(06:52):
so it is kind of difference. But FIFA Peace.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Prize, I mean it feels like a joke.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, like everybody else kind of gets it. But President
loved it, and that's all the matters to FIFA. Natalie
Rodriguez with today's Top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much, you
got it. Let's get to today's Top Stories, brought to
you by my friends over at the Holland Retirement and
Wealth Advisors. You worked hard to save for your future.
They can help you make the most of it. Find
them online at Askthehollands dot com. Good morning, Chris, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
After a great start to the season, the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers are on the verge of seeing it all slip away.
It was a rough afternoon at Raymond James Stadium, driving
rain throughout the game, really sloppy, tough weather conditions in
the Tampa Bay area during the game, but as Baker
Mayfield pointed out, both teams had to play in that way,
(07:49):
and it turned out that the last place team in
the NFC South beat the Buccaneers twenty four to twenty,
dropping the Bucks for their fourth loss in five games,
and now they're in a situation where they have a
tie for first place with Carolina, and they're going to
have to face Carolina twice to wrap up the season.
(08:09):
And based on the way they're playing, there are a
lot of questions as to whether Tampa Bay will make
the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, this is a Panthers team that just beat the
La Rams when many considered the Rams to be the
best team in the NFC. And if you think back
just a few weeks ago, before that tough stretch of
games where the Bucks were playing like the Lions and
the Patriots, they were considered one of the top five
teams in the NFL. You know, they had those close
(08:36):
wins and then they had a big win over the
Seattle Seahawks. They had a big win over the forty
nine ers. But it's all kind of falling apart. And look,
you could point to injuries, and I get that, but
every team has a bunch of injuries these days, so
that's really no excuse. And now they have to turn
around and play Thursday night against the Falcons at ray
(08:57):
j A. And the Falcons, again, that's a game they win,
just like the Saints game, but it's a Thursday night game,
short week division game. You never know how those are
gonna go. Then they have to play at Carolina on
the twenty first, and then they travel to South Florida
and play the Dolphins on the twenty eighth, And that
is not gonna be an easy game because we saw
(09:17):
the Dolphins tick off yet another win four straight now.
Three of them have been against pretty bad teams, the Commanders,
the Saints, and the Jets. But the Dolphins, there's no
question they're playing better now. Their offense is playing pretty
good to have had a good game. Their running game
has been fantastic lately, So that's gonna be a tough
(09:37):
one for the Box and the Dolphins. Look, if they
beat Pittsburgh a week from today and then they pull
off a win at home against the Bengals, they could
be playing that Bucks game thinking, no, I don't know,
maybe there's an outside chance they get in. I think
that's probably not gonna happen with the way the AFC
is stacking up, But it's gonna be an interesting into
(09:58):
the season for or the Bucks certainly trying to win
the NFC South. If they don't win the division, they're
not getting into the playoffs. And then also for the Dolphins,
just because you know it all seemed to be falling apart. Recently,
the GM gets fired, they go on this winning streak. Now,
I don't know, do you bring back the coach. I
still think you should clean house, but maybe you know,
they rattle off a couple more wins and Mike McDaniel's
(10:19):
back and to his back, and they don't go through
a big rebuilding process.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Well a turn of events.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, the teams.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I mean, you look at the Bucks at the beginning
of the year, they look like they were in great shape.
Although you look closely at those wins, and if it
wasn't for heroics from Baker Mayfield, they could have lost
those games. And now the Bucks are playing the worst
football of the three teams in Florida. Yeah, and really
not in a good position when you consider who they
have to face at the end of the year. No,
(10:46):
and the Dolphins have been the one to turn things around.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Can you imagine if the Dolphins go on this run
to end the season, Mike McDaniel's back as head coach,
the Bucks lose, don't make the playoffs, and then Todd
Bowles is out. Who would have guessed that a couple
of weeks ago. The NFL turn around that's right.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So two panhandled teenagers allegedly lured a fourteen year old
girl into the woods before fatally shooting her and then
setting her remains on fire. An awful story, and it
all happened over an online dispute. Danna Detroit last seen
by her mother on November thirtieth. She was reported missing
as a runaway, and the Santa Rosa County Sheriff, Rob
(11:23):
Bob Johnson told reporters that her body was found in
a wooded area in Pace, Florida that's about seventeen miles
north of Pensacola. A passerby discovered the body and they
found just grizzly remains, badly burned. Live ammunition rounds were nearby,
and they also believe they found her electric scooter. They
(11:44):
arrested fourteen year old Kimari Blevins and sixteen year old
Gabriel Williams. They were identified as the primary suspects, charged
with first degree murder. They were acquaintances at school, apparently
had a falling out during the Thanksgiving break and they
wanted her dead because she slighted them on social media
and then blocked their accounts.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
This is where we are these days. A fourteen year
old and a sixteen year old. They shoot and kill
this fourteen year old girl, Dan Controy in the woods,
then set her body on fire. Williams, the sixteen year
old suspect, He allegedly stole his mother's handgun before the attack,
and then cried during questioning, I'm hes gonna feel sorry
(12:26):
for you, Yeah, doing something this crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I'll even imagine what is going on with these kids
that would possess them to do something so horrific. I
just like, as a parent of a teenage boy, I
just who's so sweet and just still pretty innocent. I
just don't I don't get how that's where these kids are.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
There's got to be something really wrong with you to
first of all, just kill another human being like that,
just just the shooting part of it, but then to
set her body her fire, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
And over something so ridiculous. And we were probably picking
on her first, and she probably blocked them, and I
guess she called one of them a gangbanger and said
you're worthless, and then they lure her into the woods
to do this to her.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, there are two parts of the story that are
really concerning. First of all, the fact that you have
you know a fourteen and a sixteen year old involved
in this, this harrowing murder. Just how young these kids.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Got and in their mugshots like they're faces, like they
look like babies.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah. And then the social media aspect, and We've said
it time and time again, I mean, how much of
this originates and stems from what these kids are doing
on social media?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, what they're reading, what they're seeing, the algorithms, what
it's showing them, and then just the interpersonal connections they
have with each ore. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah. Yeah, but this story making national headlines because of
how this horrific, brutal it is, and then how young
they are, Yeah, exactly. And there's candlelight vigil set for tonight.
What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Chris, So, drivers in Florida, your license plate could be
breaking the law. So a little known rule went into
effect on October first of this year, and it says
you cannot have any coverings, tints, or frames that obscure
your license plate. So what that means is those plates
that you have on the back of your car have
to be completely plain. You can't have them framed in
(14:14):
some sort of promotional thing from your dealer. It can't
say go Gators, which is a popular one. A lot
of people have that.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I have one from the dealership where I got my Lesus,
since I want to let everybody know where I got it.
I think they're fantastic.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
A lot of people send in the gendarmes the Alexus dealers,
breaking the law. So anyway, the point is they want
a simple plane license plate on the back of your car,
just the way it came from the DMB. And for
a lot of people, this means getting out a screwdriver
and taking off whatever frame or decorative thing you have
on the back of your plate. A lot of people
(14:50):
get their vehicles from a dealership that puts those frames on.
Oh yeah, I wonder do dealerships are they still doing
that or have they changed stopped?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah? Are they gonna pay if you get a ticket
for this? It's such a five hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Bus I know, I had no idea that this had
gone into a fact, and I certainly did. I get
like the tints and the covers and things like that
where it can make it a little hard to read
the license plate and the tag, but the frames, like
my frame doesn't block anything. And I know that because
when I put the new tag on, I never take
it off the frame. Yeah, I just I just kind
(15:23):
of slide the sticker like the corner underneath and just
stick it on.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
But they don't even want that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, this may be a time when people need to
rise up and protest.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
This against your free state of Florida. I can't even
have a frame around your license plate that's not blocking anything.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
This is big government here.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, that it's worse these different things that we didn't
know about. I didn't know the DMV was selling my info.
I didn't know that I can't have a frame on
my license plate. I mean, this is really it's ridiculous.
It's outrageous, exactly. I get if it's covering the tag
or if it's covering the license plate.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
In some.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
It seems like.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
A film over it when sometimes you see that on
people's cars, and I don't know if that's meant to
block the red light camera or the sun pass from
seeing your license plate.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They're saying that this has to do with toll cameras
and officers being able to clearly identify every tag.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I think this might have something to do with those
red light cameras. Yeah, I bet you're right. They're probably
finding that they can't see certain plates means they can't
raise that revenue. That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Yeah, it's all about the money.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That feels like it's heading in that direction. As we
learn more. Chris Trankman with today's top stories. Chris, thanks

(09:17):
the Dolphins tick off yet another win four straight now.
Three of them have been against pretty bad teams, the Commanders,
the Saints, and the Jets. But the Dolphins, there's no
question they're playing better now. Their offense is playing pretty
good to have had a good game. Their running game
has been fantastic lately, So that's gonna be a tough
(09:37):
one for the Box and the Dolphins. Look, if they
beat Pittsburgh a week from today and then they pull
off a win at home against the Bengals, they could
be playing that Bucks game thinking, no, I don't know,
maybe there's an outside chance they get in. I think
that's probably not gonna happen with the way the AFC
is stacking up, But it's gonna be an interesting into
(09:58):
the season for or the Bucks certainly trying to win
the NFC South. If they don't win the division, they're
not getting into the playoffs. And then also for the Dolphins,
just because you know it all seemed to be falling apart. Recently,
the GM gets fired, they go on this winning streak. Now,
I don't know, do you bring back the coach. I
still think you should clean house, but maybe you know,
they rattle off a couple more wins and Mike McDaniel's
(10:19):
back and to his back, and they don't go through
a big rebuilding process.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Well a turn of events.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, the teams.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I mean, you look at the Bucks at the beginning
of the year, they look like they were in great shape.
Although you look closely at those wins, and if it
wasn't for heroics from Baker Mayfield, they could have lost
those games. And now the Bucks are playing the worst
football of the three teams in Florida. Yeah, and really
not in a good position when you consider who they
have to face at the end of the year. No,
(10:46):
and the Dolphins have been the one to turn things around.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Can you imagine if the Dolphins go on this run
to end the season, Mike McDaniel's back as head coach,
the Bucks lose, don't make the playoffs, and then Todd
Bowles is out. Who would have guessed that a couple
of weeks ago. The NFL turn around that's right.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So two panhandled teenagers allegedly lured a fourteen year old
girl into the woods before fatally shooting her and then
setting her remains on fire. An awful story, and it
all happened over an online dispute. Danna Detroit last seen
by her mother on November thirtieth. She was reported missing
as a runaway, and the Santa Rosa County Sheriff, Rob
(11:23):
Bob Johnson told reporters that her body was found in
a wooded area in Pace, Florida that's about seventeen miles
north of Pensacola. A passerby discovered the body and they
found just grizzly remains, badly burned. Live ammunition rounds were nearby,
and they also believe they found her electric scooter. They
(11:44):
arrested fourteen year old Kimari Blevins and sixteen year old
Gabriel Williams. They were identified as the primary suspects, charged
with first degree murder. They were acquaintances at school, apparently
had a falling out during the Thanksgiving break and they
wanted her dead because she slighted them on social media
and then blocked their accounts.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
This is where we are these days. A fourteen year
old and a sixteen year old. They shoot and kill
this fourteen year old girl, Dan Controy in the woods,
then set her body on fire. Williams, the sixteen year
old suspect, He allegedly stole his mother's handgun before the attack,
and then cried during questioning, I'm hes gonna feel sorry
(12:26):
for you, Yeah, doing something this crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I'll even imagine what is going on with these kids
that would possess them to do something so horrific. I
just like, as a parent of a teenage boy, I
just who's so sweet and just still pretty innocent. I
just don't I don't get how that's where these kids are.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
There's got to be something really wrong with you to
first of all, just kill another human being like that,
just just the shooting part of it, but then to
set her body her fire, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
And over something so ridiculous. And we were probably picking
on her first, and she probably blocked them, and I
guess she called one of them a gangbanger and said
you're worthless, and then they lure her into the woods
to do this to her.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, there are two parts of the story that are
really concerning. First of all, the fact that you have
you know a fourteen and a sixteen year old involved
in this, this harrowing murder. Just how young these kids.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Got and in their mugshots like they're faces, like they
look like babies.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah. And then the social media aspect, and We've said
it time and time again, I mean, how much of
this originates and stems from what these kids are doing
on social media?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, what they're reading, what they're seeing, the algorithms, what
it's showing them, and then just the interpersonal connections they
have with each ore. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah. Yeah, but this story making national headlines because of
how this horrific, brutal it is, and then how young
they are, Yeah, exactly. And there's candlelight vigil set for tonight.
What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Chris, So, drivers in Florida, your license plate could be
breaking the law. So a little known rule went into
effect on October first of this year, and it says
you cannot have any coverings, tints, or frames that obscure
your license plate. So what that means is those plates
that you have on the back of your car have
to be completely plain. You can't have them framed in
(14:14):
some sort of promotional thing from your dealer. It can't
say go Gators, which is a popular one. A lot
of people have that.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I have one from the dealership where I got my Lesus,
since I want to let everybody know where I got it.
I think they're fantastic.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
A lot of people send in the gendarmes the Alexus dealers,
breaking the law. So anyway, the point is they want
a simple plane license plate on the back of your car,
just the way it came from the DMB. And for
a lot of people, this means getting out a screwdriver
and taking off whatever frame or decorative thing you have
on the back of your plate. A lot of people
(14:50):
get their vehicles from a dealership that puts those frames on.
Oh yeah, I wonder do dealerships are they still doing
that or have they changed stopped?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah? Are they gonna pay if you get a ticket
for this? It's such a five hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Bus I know, I had no idea that this had
gone into a fact, and I certainly did. I get
like the tints and the covers and things like that
where it can make it a little hard to read
the license plate and the tag, but the frames, like
my frame doesn't block anything. And I know that because
when I put the new tag on, I never take
it off the frame. Yeah, I just I just kind
(15:23):
of slide the sticker like the corner underneath and just
stick it on.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
But they don't even want that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, this may be a time when people need to
rise up and protest.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
This against your free state of Florida. I can't even
have a frame around your license plate that's not blocking anything.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
This is big government here.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, that it's worse these different things that we didn't
know about. I didn't know the DMV was selling my info.
I didn't know that I can't have a frame on
my license plate. I mean, this is really it's ridiculous.
It's outrageous, exactly. I get if it's covering the tag
or if it's covering the license plate.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
In some.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
It seems like.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
A film over it when sometimes you see that on
people's cars, and I don't know if that's meant to
block the red light camera or the sun pass from
seeing your license plate.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They're saying that this has to do with toll cameras
and officers being able to clearly identify every tag.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I think this might have something to do with those
red light cameras. Yeah, I bet you're right. They're probably
finding that they can't see certain plates means they can't
raise that revenue. That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Yeah, it's all about the money.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That feels like it's heading in that direction. As we
