Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's top stories in Natalie ron Reguez, Good morning, Natalie,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, we're waiting for that House decision this afternoon to
see if, in fact our federal government will in fact
reopen or not. In the meantime, of course, we're still
seeing delays left and right. Flight disruptions continue across the country,
and here in Florida no exception. Airport officials in Orlando
and Tampa reported almost two hundred delays and cancelations yesterday.
(00:27):
Reductions were increased to six percent yesterday and set to
increase to ten percent by Friday. Taking a look this morning,
though it's not as bad, delays at Orlando International at
coming in at eight with thirty five cancelations.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Still that's a little high.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
One delay at Tampa International seventeen cancelations there, Miami showing
thirteen delays with nineteen cancelations, only one delay at Fort
Lauderdale Hollywood International with fifteen cancelations, and every Riddle Aeronautical
University Professor Michael McCormick seems pretty optimistic, saying that more
air traffic controllers are in fact reporting for duty, and
(01:03):
news that the shutdown will end soon is actually restoring
hope yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And if you look at the numbers yesterday, like in Tampa,
for example, the lowest amount of cancelations and delays since
those reduction in air traffic cuts began on Friday. And
when you look at as of yesterday late yesterday, twelve
hundred flights canceled nationwide. There were more than twenty four
(01:29):
hundred flights canceled nationwide on Monday. So even though that
reduction and travel number increase to six percent, we actually
saw things get better yesterday. And I think it is
because it looks like the government shutdown is going to
come to an end, and then once that happens, air
traffic controllers they should be getting seventy percent of their
(01:51):
full pay within forty eight hours of the government reopening,
and then they would get the remaining thirty percent a
week later. So there's some light being the tunnel for them,
and I think that's why many are coming back.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Or they heard about that ten thousand dollars bonus they
could get for.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Showing up that that that could be the case too.
And Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, he agreed with Trump on
rewarding the controllers who didn't call in sick, but again,
I just go back to what I said about that yesterday,
Like I would be okay with giving them something for
sticking it out, But then where does it end. Are
you just going to do that for air traffic controllers?
(02:26):
Are you not going to do that for TSA agents.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Or any of the other people who have shown up?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, any of the other essential employees across the federal
government who kept showing up for work. So I don't
know if that's going to go anywhere, but at least
things are getting a little bit better. And Duffy did
seem pretty confident that, you know, if things go as
planning with the reopening of the federal government, that Thanksgiving
week should be back to normal. So we're trending in
(02:53):
the right direction. It looks like, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Many pause to say thank you to all the men
and women who are or have served in the armed
forces for Veterans Day, And it took special meeting in
Duned and a Veterans Advisory Committee head Rob Cosen says
that the Panellas County town is veteran friendly in a
state full of veterans.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Or very veteran centric community.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We have two of the most active VFW and American
Legion posts in the state. More veterans live here in
the Sunshine State than any other state except for Texas,
and that area of our state very important. Governor DeSantis
is from there. He was also in the military himself,
serving in the Navy from twenty four to twenty ten.
He and several other leaders here in our state actually
(03:40):
paid a tribute to our veterans. The governor took to
x and wrote that a quote veteran is someone who
has written a check payable to the United States of
America for an amount up to and including his life.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We appreciate all who have served.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, that was really deep and are proud that Florida
is the nation's only state where both the governor and
Lieutenant governor are veteran terrans. And Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins,
who the Governor mentioned, also served in the Army as
a Green Beret for over twenty years, including deployments to
Iraq and Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, and you have Senator Brick Scott, Navy veteran. So
a lot of leaders in this state veterans and some
of the organizations that we had on yesterday. If you
missed that conversation that we had an eight o'clock hour
with an ambassador from the Wounded Warrior Project. His personal
story how he was injured over in Fallujah and what
(04:32):
the Wounded Warrior Project did for him. It was just
so powerful to listen to. And we also talked to
the Gary Sonese Foundation. Of course, you know when you
think veterans a lot of times, Gary Sinise is one
of the top, you know, celebrities people pushing to take
care of our veterans, that comes to mind. We talked
to them, K nine Partners for Patriots and a few others.
(04:52):
So we've got all of that for you in the podcast.
Just search for Ryan Gorman Show on your iHeartRadio app
if you haven't checked out those conversations from yesterday show.
And if you can help those organizations in any way,
that would be fantastic too. I mean, yesterday was Veterans Day,
That's why we had them on. We were pushing for
everyone to help them yesterday. But you know, if you
(05:12):
make a donation today, it counts the same. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The Gary Sinise Foundation just dedicated a home to a
a disabled veteran and they have it all set up
as a smart home to accommodate really special needs.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, so that's the type of stuff that they do
for people.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah. So again got to highlight some really great organizations.
Kind of our way of thanking all the veterans who
listened to this show and have served here in Florida
and across the country. Let's get to one more quick story. Natalie, Oh,
a wild one. Here we go. This video is amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's crazy bodycam video footage catching a fifteen year old
girl being arrested in Port Saint Lucy, police saying that
she bashed a patrol car with a shovel, causing twelve
hundred dollars in damage.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Kidding me, put it down, Get on the ground, Get
on the ground.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, it just goes on. Fifteen year old Amy Chance.
That sounded like they were going to deploy the taser.
They didn't have to. They didn't have to. The girl's
name is Amy Chance, and we don't know anything about
what caused her attitude, her rage. She was taken into
custody and booked for a felony kount of criminal mischief
(06:28):
and it just.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
A beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
She's just standing there, just so adamant and full of rage.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I don't understand. And the best is, and luckily the
officers were okay in this attack. But you heard the
one officer say, are you kidding me? I couldn't believe
this woman's gonna really bust up the vehicle with a
shovel seriously, and then eventually she drops it, but she
also flips off the officer in the process and caused
more than twelve hundred dollars in damage to the police cruiser.
(06:56):
And this didn't end in tragedy luckily. But you know,
this comes just a few weeks after another case in
California where he had a man charging an officer with
a shovel and that man was shot and killed. Good things.
She dropped it in this case, and at least it
wasn't a machete, Like, I'm surprised it wasn't a bit.
How many stories do we do here in Florida where
(07:16):
a machete is involved? This time it was a shovel,
but yeah, just one of those moments.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I shared the video on our Facebook page at Ryan
Gorman Show.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If you want to see this, you can see, like,
if you're a cop sitting there, you're like, what is
going on? Like what just happened?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
And the look on her face is like as if
they're bothering were.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Why are you mad at me?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Natalie Rodriguez with today's top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
He got it right. Now let's get to today's top stories,
brought to you by my friends over at on Koshore
for a simple, accurate, non invasive test that texts all
cancers called eight seven seven twenty four tests. Now, Good morning, Natalie,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Federal aviation investigators are still searching for evidence from the
scene of a small plane crash in a residential Coral
Springs neighborhood. It was a relief mission ending in tragedy.
One witness says that she saw the plane go down
on Monday.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
It was a big shadow over my head and it
was loud.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I was on the phone with a friends at a
state and she said, what is that? She thought it
was a car, So that's a plane.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Ignite the Fire Ministries. Alexander Worm and daughter Serena were
both killed. He was fifty three, she was twenty two,
and Coral Springs Deputy Fire Chief Mike Moser believes that
the plane may have broken into pieces.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All the big conducting a recovery mission so shortly we
were unable to find any victims on our initial dive.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The accident destroyed a backyard fence and some palm trees
before splashing down into the water. Fortunately, no one on
the ground was injured. And we were watching the first
responders on the scene for hours, and we were behind
the cameras and the drones and stuff trying to identify
if we could see where the plane had gone down.
We couldn't see it. We just saw like one of
(09:00):
the tires behind the backyard. The pool behind the home
was filled with foam by the time that we got
advantage point as to what was going on. And I
mean this plane missed the house by inches.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, this tragedy could have ended up being a lot worse.
And there are just questions about what happened. The plane
was only in the air for about three minutes, got
to about eleven thousand feet and then all of a sudden,
at a high speed, starts losing altitude. So you know,
the investigation is underway. Just don't know what exactly happened
(09:35):
with that plane that caused this crash. But one thing
this story did make me go back and do is
look at what's going on in Jamaica. In the aftermath
of Hurricane Melissa, because that's that's what these two individuals,
Alexander Worman, his daughter Serena, that's what they were going
to do. They were trying to bring help and relief
(09:58):
supplies to Jim for work in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.
And so the latest is that the death toll stands
at forty five in Jamaica, which I got to tell you,
you know, it had been a couple of days since
I had honestly paid attention to that sort. The news
cycles moved so fast forty five. Obviously for everyone who
(10:19):
died and their friends and family, it's a tragedy. I
thought that debt toll was going to be a whole
lot higher. Well, there's fifteen people still missing, fifteen people
still unaccounted for it. But just when you're talking about
perhaps the strongest storm we've ever seen in the Atlantic
Basin hitting Jamaica head on, worried that this was going.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
To be hundreds of people.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, you've got eleven hundred people still living in about
eighty eight emergency shelters that remain open. You got two
towns in Jamaica that are still inaccessible, so they're having
a drop aid by helicopter. There you get a few
dozen roadways still blocked, but about half the country has
mobile service. Again, about seventy percent of the country has
(11:02):
access to water, about sixty percent to electricity. So they
have made some real progress recently, but as you can tell,
it's still a lot of work that needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Absolutely absolutely, and local forces throughout the state are still
gathering supplies. Volunteers are still needed. All you have to
do is just log on, sign up and put in
some a couple hours of blood, sweat and tears.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Hopefully no blood, just the sweat and the tears.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Big Bob Humbug at Tyendel Air Force Base and this way,
you know, you just have to keep in mind that
similar to communities where there is an HOA, if you
live on a base, that comes with rules. So these
military families have been told to take down their early
Christmas decorations to comply with base standards. Some of the
(11:47):
families jumped the gun sort of speak. They received an
email earlier this week titled one Holiday at a Time
and it's warning them in not so many words, not
to display their Christmas decorations early. The post was shared
on a Facebook page for airmen, and it reads, quote,
all holiday decorations should be reflective of their respective months
and not displayed any sooner than thirty days before the
(12:11):
given holiday. If you currently have mule tied decor outside
your home, please remove it and reinstall it in accordance
with your community guidelines.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I need, honestly though, some store.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Should have gotten that same memo, because I started seeing
Halloween decor during the summer exactly, and it's like Thanksgiving
doesn't even exist anymore. We went from Halloween to witches
and devils, to Nativity scenes and blow up Santa's.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I mean, what's going on? Yeah, Wellentine's is already being
put up. The policy itself I one hundred percent agree with,
and in fact, I would make it illegal. I'd make
it a crime for retailers and people to put up
decorations that far in advance of these. I mean, you know,
you got Halloween up in August, you got Christmas up
in September. I mean, it's just it's out of control here.
(12:56):
But if there's one group of people, I'm gonna give
kind of a pass to still serving our country, I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Seriously, Yeah, and to make them take and it's a
lot of work to put up Christmas decorations, to put
your Christmas lights up. Some people pay somebody to put
up the Christmas lights and stuff, so to make them
take it down, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So you're calling them grinches, yes, yeah, and I'm calling
them gches and.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
They're You're the biggest grinch ever.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm an expert on that, So there's a lot of
a lot of credibility when I say that. Col In
your stock all right, what else is doing on? You know?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Keep in mind that the Mega Millions lottery has now
rolled over again, almost a billion dollars up for grabs,
So maybe if you want to invest that money, you
might look into real estate. Down here in South Florida.
The most expensive zip code in the nation is three
(13:51):
three one zero nine. That is Fisher Island. It's only
accessible by Boater Fairy and Miami Beach and it tops
you a zip code. It's with the median listing price
of properties at eleven point nine million, even though property Shark,
the real estate data provider, they just listed the median
sale price for a home on the Barrier Island at
(14:11):
nine and a half million. Newport Beach, California, and Bridgehampton,
New York come in second and third place on the
realtor dot com list. Now, whatever is drawing them over here,
the wealthy certainly are more than willing to pay top
dollar to live there.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So yeah, the medium price jump like sixty five percent
in one year in data. When you were looking for
a home recently, I think you were checking out this
zip code Fisher Island.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
You were, Yes, I absolutely was.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You were looking there, yeah, for a new home. You
decided not.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
To, you know what, I'm doing a great job on
the show.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, Yeah, Fisher Island sounds nice. I got to tell
you put in.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Your Social Security for the creditor report.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
If I if I hit that jackpot, I may think about.
I love the setup here. It's only accessible by ferry
or boath. Basically you can you can build the compounds
and kind of lock yourself in, everybody.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Out, and you'll have water view you want.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It sounds fantastic. I bet you the people on Fisher Island,
I bet you they can put up their Christmas lights
whenever the hell they want. But there's nobody telling them, yeah,
what they can cannot do. Natalie Rodriguez with Today's Top Stories. Natalie,
thanks so much. You got it all right. Now let's
get to today's Top Stories with Chris Trenkman. Good morning, Chris.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Another morning of cold and another morning of record low temperatures,
and in some cases the lows were even colder than yesterday.
The city of Brooksville in Hernando County posting a low
of twenty eight degrees, well below freezing, and that broke
the previous record of thirty five set in nineteen twenty three.
If you get up to Citrus County Crystal River places
(15:42):
like that, they're also below freezing. Not as surprising in
that part of the state. But Lakeland once again set
a record at thirty nine degrees this morning. Saint Petersburg
tied the record at forty three, and in places like
Tampa and some of the areas closer to Tampa Bay,
doesn't look like we're going to break any records. But
it's still chilly out. If there's anything positive about it,
(16:03):
it's not as windy. No you go outside, it's pretty
much quiet as far as that goes, And of course
it will be warming up this afternoon. So that's good
news for folks who were tired of the cold. Yeah,
there were records going down left and right. Yesterday you
had Tampa, you had Brooksville, Lakeland, winter Haven, Ruskin, I
mean a whole list.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Orlando. The coldest temperature ever for Tampa in the month
of November twenty three degrees back in nineteen seventy. Oh
that's coold. So we didn't get quite that cold, which
is good, but it was still like twenty degrees below normal.
Usually below on November eleventh is like sixty degrees twenty three.
I mean you could get snow with that.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Right, yes, freezing.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I turned the heat on yesterday because my son was
home from school there was no school yesterday, and he
was I'm so cold, So I turned the heat on.
But this is the first time putting the heat on
in my new house, and the thermostat has all these settings, yeah,
like what time you wanted to be, what temperature? So
I have no idea what it said at now, and
I did not have time to get into it.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I didn't I didn't touch mine, I didn't put the
heat on. I'm down to sixty five in my place
right now.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It makes a noise, like all night last night it
kept kicking on and I could just hear this weird noise.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Well, Paul de Legato, he had an interesting note. Five
years ago, on November eleventh, we were dealing with that
tropical storm, what was it, eta Eta? Remember that? How
different five years ago You've got a tropical storm hitting
the area and then yesterday you've got record cold temperatures.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah, well in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
This week in twenty eighteen, I did a big family
trip to Disney World with and we were so hot,
Like my dad and stepmom were having a hard time
outside because it was so hot.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That's what can happen in Florida. And the same year
that we've broken the record yesterday for the coldest temperature
in Tampa, we also broke a record in Tampa for
the hottest temperature one hundred.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Degrees degrees that I can't remember that July or August.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, I think, yeah, because I was at the pool
that day.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
It was freaking hot.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And then there were I guess in some parts of Florida,
including the Tampa Bay area, if you had like the
right camera or something, or the right angle, you could
see a little bit of the northern lights.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, somebody as a meteorologist that I follow I can't
remember who it was, posted some really beautiful pictures of
it last night, but I'm like, were those take it
in the Tampa.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Bay Yeah, the ones that I saw in the Tampa
Bay area were just okay that you got some other
parts of the country where they got quite a show,
which and I think if you were up in Alabama
you had a better shot than we did.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
But that's always interesting when you get those this far south.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, you know, I guess it has something to do
with some geomagnetic storm that's going on.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Well, it's pretty regular the occurrence up in the far
northern yeah, parts of the country like Alaska, but certain
conditions that end up having them show up lower in
the in the atmosphere so you can see or lower
in the how would you describe it. It's further south
right globe, you know, and you would see the effects
of the electromagnetic storm as it interacts with the Sun's raise.
(19:00):
So it's pretty cool. I've always wanted to see those,
like for real. If you ever see the videos on YouTube,
it's pretty incredible, pretty neat Usually I have to go
to somewhere like Alaska or Norway or Iceland, places like that.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
To see them for real. Well, now that would be
the time to go there. Like the same temperature there
as it is here, So.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, I guess so, but thirty degrees, I think it's
a little colder. So flight disruptions continue to Tampa International Airport,
but there is a silver lining. Official say that there
were over seventy delays and cancellations yesterday, but that's the
fewest since Friday, when the delays really started to get
going because of the scale back by the FAA in
(19:39):
flight traffic. So every Riddle Aeronaulical University professor Michael McCormick
says that based on what he's following, as the word
of the shutdown ending has gotten to the air traffic controllers,
more and more of them are showing up for work,
so that is going to help you manage the flights,
but it doesn't mean the situation's over, so you can
(20:00):
expect more delays. You're gonna have to monitor this situation
because the government is still closed as of right now
and we have another day of regular travel.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
There's going to be delays.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
And they said they're going to continue the plan to
increase the number of flights that are going to be
canceled as we get closer to Friday, eight tomorrow. Yeah,
eight percent is for Thursday, and then Friday could be
that the full ten percent, depending on how quickly they
can get this thing turned around with the government shut down.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It did seem notable that yesterday you had half as
many flights canceled nationwide as Monday, even though again we
increased the amount of flights that were being reduced. So
sounds like they're managing it, bet Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So the principal of Saint Pete High School put a
post on Facebook urging alumni to attend the school's advisory
committee meeting for the idea of dumping the school symbol
would be discussed. So a bunch of school related organizations
took the social media saying that the Green Devils of
this that's the name of their mascot, should all night
(21:00):
in support of their shared history of that mascot. The
proposal was to change it to a Pelican. I guess
green Devils is offensive to some people. Demonic, Yeah, because
you know, it's just scary, even though it's been the
school symbol since the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Right when we did the thank of Teacher promotion before
school started.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
The teacher that won she worked for that tool.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, and she she yeah, talked about green devils and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
More than two hundred current and former students showed up,
and they were wearing their green and white, the traditional colors,
and it was the best attended advisory committee that she,
the principal, could ever remember.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Of course, it was something like that that will rally
the troops. Yeah, and apparently there weren't a lot of
people opposed to it. It was more like an idea
put out there as a way to prevent any division
down the road. It wasn't like this huge active campaign
to get rid of it and dision. Yeah. Well remember
the whole issue with the Tampa Bay Devil race.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I mean that was a huge controversy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
And I guess that the idea was that they were
going to somehow address this now because I guess now
is the time to you know, upset all the alumni.
But it doesn't look like they're going to do anything
because of the pushback from alumni and current students.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Now, the Green Devils will remain again a symbol of
the school since the nineteen twenties. It's not like this
was just something that came about in the last twenty years,
been around for a long time, and they're not real,
by the way, No, right, you're scared of that. Good point.
Good point. Chris Traigman with today's top stories. Chris, thanks
so much, thank you. It was a Ryan Gorman Show
(22:37):
five to nine, every weekday morning on news radio how
u FLA
Today's top stories in Natalie ron Reguez, Good morning, Natalie,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, we're waiting for that House decision this afternoon to
see if, in fact our federal government will in fact
reopen or not. In the meantime, of course, we're still
seeing delays left and right. Flight disruptions continue across the country,
and here in Florida no exception. Airport officials in Orlando
and Tampa reported almost two hundred delays and cancelations yesterday.
(00:27):
Reductions were increased to six percent yesterday and set to
increase to ten percent by Friday. Taking a look this morning,
though it's not as bad, delays at Orlando International at
coming in at eight with thirty five cancelations.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Still that's a little high.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
One delay at Tampa International seventeen cancelations there, Miami showing
thirteen delays with nineteen cancelations, only one delay at Fort
Lauderdale Hollywood International with fifteen cancelations, and every Riddle Aeronautical
University Professor Michael McCormick seems pretty optimistic, saying that more
air traffic controllers are in fact reporting for duty, and
(01:03):
news that the shutdown will end soon is actually restoring
hope yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And if you look at the numbers yesterday, like in Tampa,
for example, the lowest amount of cancelations and delays since
those reduction in air traffic cuts began on Friday. And
when you look at as of yesterday late yesterday, twelve
hundred flights canceled nationwide. There were more than twenty four
(01:29):
hundred flights canceled nationwide on Monday. So even though that
reduction and travel number increase to six percent, we actually
saw things get better yesterday. And I think it is
because it looks like the government shutdown is going to
come to an end, and then once that happens, air
traffic controllers they should be getting seventy percent of their
(01:51):
full pay within forty eight hours of the government reopening,
and then they would get the remaining thirty percent a
week later. So there's some light being the tunnel for them,
and I think that's why many are coming back.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Or they heard about that ten thousand dollars bonus they
could get for.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Showing up that that that could be the case too.
And Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, he agreed with Trump on
rewarding the controllers who didn't call in sick, but again,
I just go back to what I said about that yesterday,
Like I would be okay with giving them something for
sticking it out, But then where does it end. Are
you just going to do that for air traffic controllers?
(02:26):
Are you not going to do that for TSA agents.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Or any of the other people who have shown up?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, any of the other essential employees across the federal
government who kept showing up for work. So I don't
know if that's going to go anywhere, but at least
things are getting a little bit better. And Duffy did
seem pretty confident that, you know, if things go as
planning with the reopening of the federal government, that Thanksgiving
week should be back to normal. So we're trending in
(02:53):
the right direction. It looks like, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Many pause to say thank you to all the men
and women who are or have served in the armed
forces for Veterans Day, And it took special meeting in
Duned and a Veterans Advisory Committee head Rob Cosen says
that the Panellas County town is veteran friendly in a
state full of veterans.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Or very veteran centric community.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We have two of the most active VFW and American
Legion posts in the state. More veterans live here in
the Sunshine State than any other state except for Texas,
and that area of our state very important. Governor DeSantis
is from there. He was also in the military himself,
serving in the Navy from twenty four to twenty ten.
He and several other leaders here in our state actually
(03:40):
paid a tribute to our veterans. The governor took to
x and wrote that a quote veteran is someone who
has written a check payable to the United States of
America for an amount up to and including his life.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We appreciate all who have served.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, that was really deep and are proud that Florida
is the nation's only state where both the governor and
Lieutenant governor are veteran terrans. And Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins,
who the Governor mentioned, also served in the Army as
a Green Beret for over twenty years, including deployments to
Iraq and Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, and you have Senator Brick Scott, Navy veteran. So
a lot of leaders in this state veterans and some
of the organizations that we had on yesterday. If you
missed that conversation that we had an eight o'clock hour
with an ambassador from the Wounded Warrior Project. His personal
story how he was injured over in Fallujah and what
(04:32):
the Wounded Warrior Project did for him. It was just
so powerful to listen to. And we also talked to
the Gary Sonese Foundation. Of course, you know when you
think veterans a lot of times, Gary Sinise is one
of the top, you know, celebrities people pushing to take
care of our veterans, that comes to mind. We talked
to them, K nine Partners for Patriots and a few others.
(04:52):
So we've got all of that for you in the podcast.
Just search for Ryan Gorman Show on your iHeartRadio app
if you haven't checked out those conversations from yesterday show.
And if you can help those organizations in any way,
that would be fantastic too. I mean, yesterday was Veterans Day,
That's why we had them on. We were pushing for
everyone to help them yesterday. But you know, if you
(05:12):
make a donation today, it counts the same. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The Gary Sinise Foundation just dedicated a home to a
a disabled veteran and they have it all set up
as a smart home to accommodate really special needs.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, so that's the type of stuff that they do
for people.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah. So again got to highlight some really great organizations.
Kind of our way of thanking all the veterans who
listened to this show and have served here in Florida
and across the country. Let's get to one more quick story. Natalie, Oh,
a wild one. Here we go. This video is amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's crazy bodycam video footage catching a fifteen year old
girl being arrested in Port Saint Lucy, police saying that
she bashed a patrol car with a shovel, causing twelve
hundred dollars in damage.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Kidding me, put it down, Get on the ground, Get
on the ground.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, it just goes on. Fifteen year old Amy Chance.
That sounded like they were going to deploy the taser.
They didn't have to. They didn't have to. The girl's
name is Amy Chance, and we don't know anything about
what caused her attitude, her rage. She was taken into
custody and booked for a felony kount of criminal mischief
(06:28):
and it just.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
A beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
She's just standing there, just so adamant and full of rage.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I don't understand. And the best is, and luckily the
officers were okay in this attack. But you heard the
one officer say, are you kidding me? I couldn't believe
this woman's gonna really bust up the vehicle with a
shovel seriously, and then eventually she drops it, but she
also flips off the officer in the process and caused
more than twelve hundred dollars in damage to the police cruiser.
(06:56):
And this didn't end in tragedy luckily. But you know,
this comes just a few weeks after another case in
California where he had a man charging an officer with
a shovel and that man was shot and killed. Good things.
She dropped it in this case, and at least it
wasn't a machete, Like, I'm surprised it wasn't a bit.
How many stories do we do here in Florida where
(07:16):
a machete is involved? This time it was a shovel,
but yeah, just one of those moments.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I shared the video on our Facebook page at Ryan
Gorman Show.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If you want to see this, you can see, like,
if you're a cop sitting there, you're like, what is
going on? Like what just happened?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
And the look on her face is like as if
they're bothering were.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Why are you mad at me?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Natalie Rodriguez with today's top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
He got it right. Now let's get to today's top stories,
brought to you by my friends over at on Koshore
for a simple, accurate, non invasive test that texts all
cancers called eight seven seven twenty four tests. Now, Good morning, Natalie,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Federal aviation investigators are still searching for evidence from the
scene of a small plane crash in a residential Coral
Springs neighborhood. It was a relief mission ending in tragedy.
One witness says that she saw the plane go down
on Monday.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
It was a big shadow over my head and it
was loud.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I was on the phone with a friends at a
state and she said, what is that? She thought it
was a car, So that's a plane.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Ignite the Fire Ministries. Alexander Worm and daughter Serena were
both killed. He was fifty three, she was twenty two,
and Coral Springs Deputy Fire Chief Mike Moser believes that
the plane may have broken into pieces.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All the big conducting a recovery mission so shortly we
were unable to find any victims on our initial dive.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The accident destroyed a backyard fence and some palm trees
before splashing down into the water. Fortunately, no one on
the ground was injured. And we were watching the first
responders on the scene for hours, and we were behind
the cameras and the drones and stuff trying to identify
if we could see where the plane had gone down.
We couldn't see it. We just saw like one of
(09:00):
the tires behind the backyard. The pool behind the home
was filled with foam by the time that we got
advantage point as to what was going on. And I
mean this plane missed the house by inches.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, this tragedy could have ended up being a lot worse.
And there are just questions about what happened. The plane
was only in the air for about three minutes, got
to about eleven thousand feet and then all of a sudden,
at a high speed, starts losing altitude. So you know,
the investigation is underway. Just don't know what exactly happened
(09:35):
with that plane that caused this crash. But one thing
this story did make me go back and do is
look at what's going on in Jamaica. In the aftermath
of Hurricane Melissa, because that's that's what these two individuals,
Alexander Worman, his daughter Serena, that's what they were going
to do. They were trying to bring help and relief
(09:58):
supplies to Jim for work in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.
And so the latest is that the death toll stands
at forty five in Jamaica, which I got to tell you,
you know, it had been a couple of days since
I had honestly paid attention to that sort. The news
cycles moved so fast forty five. Obviously for everyone who
(10:19):
died and their friends and family, it's a tragedy. I
thought that debt toll was going to be a whole
lot higher. Well, there's fifteen people still missing, fifteen people
still unaccounted for it. But just when you're talking about
perhaps the strongest storm we've ever seen in the Atlantic
Basin hitting Jamaica head on, worried that this was going.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
To be hundreds of people.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, you've got eleven hundred people still living in about
eighty eight emergency shelters that remain open. You got two
towns in Jamaica that are still inaccessible, so they're having
a drop aid by helicopter. There you get a few
dozen roadways still blocked, but about half the country has
mobile service. Again, about seventy percent of the country has
(11:02):
access to water, about sixty percent to electricity. So they
have made some real progress recently, but as you can tell,
it's still a lot of work that needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Absolutely absolutely, and local forces throughout the state are still
gathering supplies. Volunteers are still needed. All you have to
do is just log on, sign up and put in
some a couple hours of blood, sweat and tears.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Hopefully no blood, just the sweat and the tears.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Big Bob Humbug at Tyendel Air Force Base and this way,
you know, you just have to keep in mind that
similar to communities where there is an HOA, if you
live on a base, that comes with rules. So these
military families have been told to take down their early
Christmas decorations to comply with base standards. Some of the
(11:47):
families jumped the gun sort of speak. They received an
email earlier this week titled one Holiday at a Time
and it's warning them in not so many words, not
to display their Christmas decorations early. The post was shared
on a Facebook page for airmen, and it reads, quote,
all holiday decorations should be reflective of their respective months
and not displayed any sooner than thirty days before the
(12:11):
given holiday. If you currently have mule tied decor outside
your home, please remove it and reinstall it in accordance
with your community guidelines.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I need, honestly though, some store.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Should have gotten that same memo, because I started seeing
Halloween decor during the summer exactly, and it's like Thanksgiving
doesn't even exist anymore. We went from Halloween to witches
and devils, to Nativity scenes and blow up Santa's.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I mean, what's going on? Yeah, Wellentine's is already being
put up. The policy itself I one hundred percent agree with,
and in fact, I would make it illegal. I'd make
it a crime for retailers and people to put up
decorations that far in advance of these. I mean, you know,
you got Halloween up in August, you got Christmas up
in September. I mean, it's just it's out of control here.
(12:56):
But if there's one group of people, I'm gonna give
kind of a pass to still serving our country, I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Seriously, Yeah, and to make them take and it's a
lot of work to put up Christmas decorations, to put
your Christmas lights up. Some people pay somebody to put
up the Christmas lights and stuff, so to make them
take it down, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So you're calling them grinches, yes, yeah, and I'm calling
them gches and.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
They're You're the biggest grinch ever.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'm an expert on that, So there's a lot of
a lot of credibility when I say that. Col In
your stock all right, what else is doing on? You know?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Keep in mind that the Mega Millions lottery has now
rolled over again, almost a billion dollars up for grabs,
So maybe if you want to invest that money, you
might look into real estate. Down here in South Florida.
The most expensive zip code in the nation is three
(13:51):
three one zero nine. That is Fisher Island. It's only
accessible by Boater Fairy and Miami Beach and it tops
you a zip code. It's with the median listing price
of properties at eleven point nine million, even though property Shark,
the real estate data provider, they just listed the median
sale price for a home on the Barrier Island at
(14:11):
nine and a half million. Newport Beach, California, and Bridgehampton,
New York come in second and third place on the
realtor dot com list. Now, whatever is drawing them over here,
the wealthy certainly are more than willing to pay top
dollar to live there.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So yeah, the medium price jump like sixty five percent
in one year in data. When you were looking for
a home recently, I think you were checking out this
zip code Fisher Island.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
You were, Yes, I absolutely was.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You were looking there, yeah, for a new home. You
decided not.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
To, you know what, I'm doing a great job on
the show.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, Yeah, Fisher Island sounds nice. I got to tell
you put in.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Your Social Security for the creditor report.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
If I if I hit that jackpot, I may think about.
I love the setup here. It's only accessible by ferry
or boath. Basically you can you can build the compounds
and kind of lock yourself in, everybody.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Out, and you'll have water view you want.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It sounds fantastic. I bet you the people on Fisher Island,
I bet you they can put up their Christmas lights
whenever the hell they want. But there's nobody telling them, yeah,
what they can cannot do. Natalie Rodriguez with Today's Top Stories. Natalie,
thanks so much. You got it all right. Now let's
get to today's Top Stories with Chris Trenkman. Good morning, Chris.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Another morning of cold and another morning of record low temperatures,
and in some cases the lows were even colder than yesterday.
The city of Brooksville in Hernando County posting a low
of twenty eight degrees, well below freezing, and that broke
the previous record of thirty five set in nineteen twenty three.
If you get up to Citrus County Crystal River places
(15:42):
like that, they're also below freezing. Not as surprising in
that part of the state. But Lakeland once again set
a record at thirty nine degrees this morning. Saint Petersburg
tied the record at forty three, and in places like
Tampa and some of the areas closer to Tampa Bay,
doesn't look like we're going to break any records. But
it's still chilly out. If there's anything positive about it,
(16:03):
it's not as windy. No you go outside, it's pretty
much quiet as far as that goes, And of course
it will be warming up this afternoon. So that's good
news for folks who were tired of the cold. Yeah,
there were records going down left and right. Yesterday you
had Tampa, you had Brooksville, Lakeland, winter Haven, Ruskin, I
mean a whole list.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Orlando. The coldest temperature ever for Tampa in the month
of November twenty three degrees back in nineteen seventy. Oh
that's coold. So we didn't get quite that cold, which
is good, but it was still like twenty degrees below normal.
Usually below on November eleventh is like sixty degrees twenty three.
I mean you could get snow with that.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Right, yes, freezing.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I turned the heat on yesterday because my son was
home from school there was no school yesterday, and he
was I'm so cold, So I turned the heat on.
But this is the first time putting the heat on
in my new house, and the thermostat has all these settings, yeah,
like what time you wanted to be, what temperature? So
I have no idea what it said at now, and
I did not have time to get into it.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I didn't I didn't touch mine, I didn't put the
heat on. I'm down to sixty five in my place
right now.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It makes a noise, like all night last night it
kept kicking on and I could just hear this weird noise.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Well, Paul de Legato, he had an interesting note. Five
years ago, on November eleventh, we were dealing with that
tropical storm, what was it, eta Eta? Remember that? How
different five years ago You've got a tropical storm hitting
the area and then yesterday you've got record cold temperatures.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah, well in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
This week in twenty eighteen, I did a big family
trip to Disney World with and we were so hot,
Like my dad and stepmom were having a hard time
outside because it was so hot.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That's what can happen in Florida. And the same year
that we've broken the record yesterday for the coldest temperature
in Tampa, we also broke a record in Tampa for
the hottest temperature one hundred.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Degrees degrees that I can't remember that July or August.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, I think, yeah, because I was at the pool
that day.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
It was freaking hot.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And then there were I guess in some parts of Florida,
including the Tampa Bay area, if you had like the
right camera or something, or the right angle, you could
see a little bit of the northern lights.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, somebody as a meteorologist that I follow I can't
remember who it was, posted some really beautiful pictures of
it last night, but I'm like, were those take it
in the Tampa.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Bay Yeah, the ones that I saw in the Tampa
Bay area were just okay that you got some other
parts of the country where they got quite a show,
which and I think if you were up in Alabama
you had a better shot than we did.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
But that's always interesting when you get those this far south.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, you know, I guess it has something to do
with some geomagnetic storm that's going on.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Well, it's pretty regular the occurrence up in the far
northern yeah, parts of the country like Alaska, but certain
conditions that end up having them show up lower in
the in the atmosphere so you can see or lower
in the how would you describe it. It's further south
right globe, you know, and you would see the effects
of the electromagnetic storm as it interacts with the Sun's raise.
(19:00):
So it's pretty cool. I've always wanted to see those,
like for real. If you ever see the videos on YouTube,
it's pretty incredible, pretty neat Usually I have to go
to somewhere like Alaska or Norway or Iceland, places like that.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
To see them for real. Well, now that would be
the time to go there. Like the same temperature there
as it is here, So.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, I guess so, but thirty degrees, I think it's
a little colder. So flight disruptions continue to Tampa International Airport,
but there is a silver lining. Official say that there
were over seventy delays and cancellations yesterday, but that's the
fewest since Friday, when the delays really started to get
going because of the scale back by the FAA in
(19:39):
flight traffic. So every Riddle Aeronaulical University professor Michael McCormick
says that based on what he's following, as the word
of the shutdown ending has gotten to the air traffic controllers,
more and more of them are showing up for work,
so that is going to help you manage the flights,
but it doesn't mean the situation's over, so you can
(20:00):
expect more delays. You're gonna have to monitor this situation
because the government is still closed as of right now
and we have another day of regular travel.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
There's going to be delays.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
And they said they're going to continue the plan to
increase the number of flights that are going to be
canceled as we get closer to Friday, eight tomorrow. Yeah,
eight percent is for Thursday, and then Friday could be
that the full ten percent, depending on how quickly they
can get this thing turned around with the government shut down.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It did seem notable that yesterday you had half as
many flights canceled nationwide as Monday, even though again we
increased the amount of flights that were being reduced. So
sounds like they're managing it, bet Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So the principal of Saint Pete High School put a
post on Facebook urging alumni to attend the school's advisory
committee meeting for the idea of dumping the school symbol
would be discussed. So a bunch of school related organizations
took the social media saying that the Green Devils of
this that's the name of their mascot, should all night
(21:00):
in support of their shared history of that mascot. The
proposal was to change it to a Pelican. I guess
green Devils is offensive to some people. Demonic, Yeah, because
you know, it's just scary, even though it's been the
school symbol since the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Right when we did the thank of Teacher promotion before
school started.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
The teacher that won she worked for that tool.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, and she she yeah, talked about green devils and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
More than two hundred current and former students showed up,
and they were wearing their green and white, the traditional colors,
and it was the best attended advisory committee that she,
the principal, could ever remember.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Of course, it was something like that that will rally
the troops. Yeah, and apparently there weren't a lot of
people opposed to it. It was more like an idea
put out there as a way to prevent any division
down the road. It wasn't like this huge active campaign
to get rid of it and dision. Yeah. Well remember
the whole issue with the Tampa Bay Devil race.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I mean that was a huge controversy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
And I guess that the idea was that they were
going to somehow address this now because I guess now
is the time to you know, upset all the alumni.
But it doesn't look like they're going to do anything
because of the pushback from alumni and current students.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Now, the Green Devils will remain again a symbol of
the school since the nineteen twenties. It's not like this
was just something that came about in the last twenty years,
been around for a long time, and they're not real,
by the way, No, right, you're scared of that. Good point.
Good point. Chris Traigman with today's top stories. Chris, thanks
so much, thank you. It was a Ryan Gorman Show

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
