Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tom Ryan Gorman with Danna McKay, Jason Barringer, and Chris
Trankman from our newsroom. Coming up this hour, a huge
development that could finally lead to an end the government shutdown.
I'm going to have that for you before five twenty plus.
Some key takeaways from Tuesday's election results. Just how concerned
should Republicans be. I'm going to break that down for
you at around five forty seven, but we start with
(00:23):
today's top stories and Chris Trankman, Good morning, Chris.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So a woman was arrested after telling her husband I
need to sacrifice and kill you both before attempting to
stab it. The Sheriff's office was responding to the home
in Seminole Tuesday morning after a victim claimed that his
wife attacked him with a knife. They found the victim
outside the home with a laceration to his left forearm.
(00:47):
The wife, Karen Dietert, was still inside and was taken
into custody. According to the arrest affidavit, the victim told
deputies he woke up found his wife standing over him,
asking where is our son? And he was asking her
what she was doing, and she's like, I need to
sacrifice and kill you both.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
So he was able to block the attack. He locked
himself in the bedroom and thought it was over, and
then he came out at a later time and Dieter
allegedly ambushed him from behind the refrigerator and lunged at
him with a knife and then tried to stab him
in the abdomen, but he was able to prevent that
and he was cut on his left arm. Now he
(01:28):
subdued her and called the cops, and they came in
and were able to take her into custody. But obviously
a disturbing situation for this guy. And now this woman
is facing attempted murder charges. It's like a horror story, right,
It's just something straight out of a horror movie. And
it reminded me of that scene from Goodfellas.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm not even gonna ask you if you I've actually.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Seen seen good Fellas many times, but I don't remember
the scene where anybody came out from behind the frame.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
No, no, no, it wasn't quite that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But the only money we had Carrie chrystill know the scene.
Remember when Henry Hill wakes up and she's on top
of him with the revolver pointed right at his forehead.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Oh I do remember.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, that's what this reminded me of.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The guy wakes up and she's right over him with
a knife, asking him, where's our son? I need to
sacrifice you both now, Henry Hill. He managed to get
out of that situation without getting harmed, and so did
this guy. Apparently a little cut but nothing seriously, I'm
talking about this. But she also said during the investigation,
(02:35):
these aren't the clothes I was wearing when I stabbed him.
So did she change like before law enforcement got there?
Some questions about that particular.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
No idea, And yeah, was this woman already a psycho?
Like did this surprise the guy out of nowhere? Because
she probably showed signs of being crazy before that?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, where was the son? Likely the sun wasn't harmed
in any of this.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But yeah, it sounds it's like a case of some
potential mental illnes.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, seems like it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know, we don't know the details, but it seems
unlikely that this just happened out of the blue, and
this was a one time thing, but clearly it reached
a point where his life was in danger. So the
Polk County Sheriff's office says thirty two people were arrested
during a sex Offender and Predator compliance initiative in the
weeks up leading to Halloween on October thirty. First debut
(03:24):
SA was aimed at enforcing compliance with Florida's laws for
registration for convicted sex offenders and sexual predators. So the
Sheriff's office says there are fourteen hundred sex offenders, one
hundred and fifty eight of whom are sexual predators registered
in Pole County, which is very encouraging if you live
over there.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's a big number. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Then, so they are checked every quarter to make sure
that they're complying. And so during those weeks leading up
to Halloween, fourteen sex offenders or predators were arrested. Two
warrants were served out of the out of state, and
then there were sixteen offenders or predators who were arrested
for probation violations, according to the Sheriff's office.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You know what's missing from this story is what was
the name of the operation? Like they did it, they
did it on Halloween. I'm looking for the name of
the operation, and they gave us nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The Sheriff, Grady Jutt, always has a great name for
its operation something right now, were you aware data of
the sexual offenders in your neighborhood before Halloween?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
But but I live in a deed restricted community, which
I think means that they're not allowed to live there.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh really, yes, I think if.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You look on the if you look on the outskirts
of the development there, that's kind of where they are.
But I don't think they can. I should look into
this more. But I remember talking about this with somebody
years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, you lived I don't know if your new place
is close to a school, but the last place you
lived in was like right by a school, so yeah,
I probably didn't have anybody.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I'm still I'm still pretty close to the school. Yeah,
but I don't know what the mileagees because I might
be over a mile away from the I don't know.
I don't know what the like, what the limit is
the perimeter?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So what if somebody like gets, you know, charged with
something like this and they're living and there already, Yeah,
do they get kicked out of your development or well?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I don't know, Well it happened. It happened in my
old neighborhood. That that's that Hillsborough County fireman who got
arrested for having all kinds of child porn and then
he ended up taking his own life in jail.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, they walk you out of the development like in Thrones. Shame, shame.
They should do.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
What we should be doing of these people. There are
so freaking many of them. It's so disturbing.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Is that show they had her walk naked? I don't
think they. I don't think so. Do you know in
your area, Chris, where the sexual predators are?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I don't think we want to know, right, freak me out?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, you can't find out pretty easily. What am I
going to do about it?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Though? Like you, I get up and leave. I mean
that's the problem, you know, you can't really. What you
hope is that these people are monitored by law enforcement
and that they don't act out on this, and if
they do, they go to jail. Well, I had the
guy living right across from the building right over who
was soliciting miners from the other coast. Yeah, they served
a big search warrant. You did the story, Chris. I
(06:09):
didn't realize what I knew something happened in my development
until you did the story.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And somewhere once I didn't know that it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Neighbor.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, that's a scary thing, but again, you know, it's
a situation where at least they have tabs on these
people and if they do misbehave, like on events like Halloween,
they're paying attention. So the Pasco County School District says,
it's inescapable kids and even teachers are using artificial intelligence
and they have to reckon with that and do something
(06:41):
about it. So the district has put out a set
of guidelines that they believe will help schools deal with
AI and help teachers prepare lessons and provide children with
tutorials and other methods that are guided knowing that AI
is out there, So they put out a nineteen page pamphlet.
(07:04):
It's still a work in progress, according to the district,
but it emphasizes the importance of viewing AI as a
tool to support learning rather than what it's viewed as
all the time, which is a substitute for doing work, like, Oh,
I'm just gonna have AI write my term paper of
AI do all the projects, right.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I would maybe run that pamphlet through AI and find
out how they can shorten it a little bit. Nineteen pages,
that's a long God, But I guess they're they're looking
at opening up Microsoft Copilot for high schoolers in December,
so they kind of want to have some guidelines in place.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And you can't you can't ignore this.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You can't prevent students or even teachers from using it.
So it's best to create those kind of guidelines and
incorporate it, you know, accept it, but do it in
a way that works for your school district.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Well, what about having some type of an AI program
for education where it won't write a term paper for you,
but if you write your own thing, it'll proof read
it for you, like so that it's it's a tool
and not a way for people to just cheat.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
There is a bill that's been proposed again for this
upcoming legislative session that would teach cursive writing in schools
and and you know, that's that's fine, but I guess
because some kids they can't sign things these days.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, but what is your signature? Like my signature is
a scribble.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It basically mine is too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I think what they really need they probably need to
require course, especially in high school, for kids to learn AI,
how to do prompts, things like that that would help
them a whole lot more than learning cursively.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, and now they have these like touch screens just
scribble on there. I mean I went to the election,
you know, when I did the voting, and they're like,
you gotta give your signature, and it.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Was a touch pad.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, and my signature didn't look anything like you can't.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Do with your finger.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You do it. Yeah, They're probably going to throw out
my vote because the signature doesn't match, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It's ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So the College Board did a survey and it says
more than half of high school students use AI tools
for schoolwork, and a majority say that it's helpful when
they need answers to.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Questions like thank The other half are lying like all
the answers, you know. I mean, that's the problem, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
So at least a school district is looking at this
and recognizing that this is something that has to be addressed.
Whether this is anywhere near solving the problem of students
not learning, though, there's a big question.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, they all need to look at this, all right.
Chris Dranckman with Today's Top Stories. Chris, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I'm Ryan Gorman.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
With Dana McKay, Jason Barringer, preamatories, and Natalie Rodriguez from
our newsroom. Coming up this hour, we'll get to today's
forecast with Weather Channel mediorologists Race Ageic before six fifteen.
Right after that, we've got our Bloomberg Business report and
an update on that deadly ups crash, Plus the Supreme
Court heard oral arguments yesterday, and the Trump tariff case,
(09:49):
the outcome of which is going to have a huge
impact on the power of the presidency and the economy.
We'll go through some of the key moments from the
hearing at six thirty five, and a huge development that
could finally lead to the end of the government shutdown.
I'm going to have that for you at around six
forty seven. First, we start with today's top stories and
Natalie Rodriguez, Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Three Miami voters are suing to keep Frank Godojo off
the runoff ballot after a term limit win. The ink
hasn't even dried on the new lifetime term limits that
was voted on just two days ago, and the Trio
want to stop anything that's going to keep the printing
runoff ballots from happening until his eligibility is resolved. So Gotojo,
(10:34):
who served two full terms as District three commissioner before
his brother Joe Gottoyo took over the seat in twenty nineteen,
led this eight candidate field in this week's election with
almost thirty percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He's expected to face.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Rolandos Calona, who just got over seventeen percent, in the
runoff next month. But there's a little sticking point that
the voters just banned exactly this kind of comeback. The
lifetime term limit chartermen was approved overwhelmingly, like over eighty
percent almost voters. That keeps anyone who's already served two
full terms from ever holding the same city office again.
(11:09):
And that is retroactive, So we shall see where this
ends up.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, with the voters passing that, I just I don't
see how if he won, he would be able to
serve this term again, right, actually win, well, like if
he wins in the runoff election. Let's say he wins,
he let's say he's allowed to compete in the runoff
election and he wins. This applies retroactively, so I don't
(11:38):
see how he ever takes that seat. But then what
do you do in the meantime, Like, if you do
go down the road of keeping him off the ballot
because of this, then do you elevate the third place
finisher and make them the runner up and part of
the runoff?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Does the other guy just automatically win?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, so there are some questions there. This is an
interesting little pnundrum with a County Commission scene. And then
you mentioned his brother, Joe Croyo. He told the Miami
Herald that that loss in that run for mayor marks
the end of his time seeking elected office. He said,
he's seventy and he's not going to be doing this again.
(12:18):
He's had two stints of Miami mayor multiple terms, like
you mentioned Natalie on the City Commission.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And you know at seventy he's going to give up. Yeah,
I'm surprised he's not running for Congress.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He'd be like a spring chicken on Capitol Hill if
he were to do that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
So I think he can afford it with all his
legal That is a really good point.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You mean that sixty three million dollars civil judgment against him.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, he's change. Yeah, all right, what else is going
on this morning? Natalie?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Oh, just a disturbing story again, this time involving an
ex teacher who was accused of sexual battery on a
student eight years ago. She's getting probation, thirty three year
old at Pamela Stigger. She pleaded no contest to fell
any battery charges related to this past incident in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And let's rewind. Let's see what happened.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
She was found in the backseat of a car with
a fifteen year old boy who's partially naked. He was
a member in her eighth grade drama class. On the
night of the incident. He told cops that he was
helping her prep for the upcoming production event that they
were working on at Forest Glenn Middle School in Coral Springs.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
This is disgusting. It is and another case where somebody
doesn't end up go, you know, getting the full punishment
broad they did. We just talked yesterday about the six
year old boy who was abused by his stepfather and
the guy's not going to prison.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, And it was kind of interesting how they were discovered.
So you had the Broward County Sheriff's Office deputies. They
were notified that a vehicle was stationed in the roadway
obstructing traffic. And then when they arrived at the scene,
they see her in the back seat of the vehicle
with like Dentellie mentioned, the fifteen year old boy partially undressed.
(13:56):
So it wasn't like they were, you know, in some
dark parking lot or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
They're in the middle of traffic.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, and then the teen tells deputies, yeah, we were,
you know, we were messing around. She denied it, and
then she claimed, well, he was seducing me. And the
original charges included sexual battery and low conduct, but prosecutors
for some reason didn't pursue those accounts. And now I
get the five years of probation, no jail time. I
just find it hard to believe if it was a
(14:25):
forty two year old man with a fifteen year old girl,
that there would just be probation as part of the punishment.
And I went and I tried to find out, you know,
when you've got these kinds of cases, how often does
it end in no prison time associated with it? And
(14:45):
in most cases you've got teachers who are convicted, like
not out of ten times, they're sentenced to you know,
about four years somewhere around there.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So this is kind of unusual.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Don't know why this decision was made, just like we
don't know why the decision was made in the case
that we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
And is it the same on the punishment when the
victim is a boy?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, that would be a really good question. I'm not
so sure, and you want I just I really wonder
if that has something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah. Good, the fact that it was a fifteen year
old boy, all right, that's interesting, it is. What else
is going on?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Oh, we've got four students that were four twenty friendly
at Margate Middle School rushed to the hospital. Apparently police
are saying that they ate last edible snacks on campus
and parents obviously are concerned about this.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That's concerning and it's troubling.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I just feel like they should bettle with monitoring the
kids and what they wearing to the school.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Several other students also were portedly exposed to these edibles
who did not require hospitalization. The kids are expected to
be okay, but now police obviously are investigating how the
kids get their hands on it these things and where'd
they get them from.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, the teacher knew something was up because she had
control of the classrooms.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The kids were chilled.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
They're all just like they're chilling out.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, She's like, what the hell's going on? Usually I
got to tell you guys to shut up.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And the classroom.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now, was this the case where the kids intentionally took
it or did somebody give it to them and they
didn't they thought they were actually taking some candy. Because
I've had to tell my son, like, he likes to
like share snacks with his friends and stuff, and I
told him he needs to stop doing that. I don't
like him eating random foods from people that he doesn't
really know very much.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I've I've been in that position before where I've had
a brownie and been like, wait a SEC's.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Had one experience with brownies and I will never do
an edible ever again. It messed me up big time. Now,
granted I kept eating them. Yeah, I was like, I
was like, why am I not feeling anything? This is
so bizarre? Let me eat another one? And I was
a mess.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I bet you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
All the other teachers so like, how can we couldn't
get our hands on any of those? We could use
them while we're trying to brownie to deal with the
school day. There vegan a Natalie Rodriguez with today's top stories. Natalie,
thanks so much, you got it. It's bringing Weather Channel
meteorologists Ray stage a four. Today's forecast brought to you
by Archwell Health. Archwell Health's preventative care for adults age
(17:06):
sixty plus means catching small issues before they.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Become big problems.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So, Ray, I want to start with something that I read,
and it was a look back at the hurricane season,
at least up to this point. I know it's not
over yet, but apparently Google's Deep Mind AI model has
been the standout performer while the US GFS model has
been a freaking disaster this hurricane season.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Well, the USGFS model is usually a disaster.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's great to know. So fair enough, I'm like already
waiting for the winter.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
I'm like, here we go, us always throwing these big
bomb going up these coast that, yes, the Google model
did perform well. As you mentioned, we're not out of
hurricane season. Another whatever it is days to go at
the end of the month, and things in the tropics
in the Atlantic quiet, I did catch something. I think
in the West pack of big typhoon is a unfortunately pounded.
(18:04):
I think the Philippines. Yeah, there have been some areas
have been hard hit there, but we're quiet here. I'm
just gonna go right to the headline. It could be
in the thirties Tuesday morning. Wow, maybe the upper thirties.
I mean, that's the chatter nobody cares about, you know,
sun clouds and low to mid eighties through the weekend.
Everybody wants to know how cold. And I think we
got a shot at getting into the upper thirties and
(18:26):
then a Chili Veterans Day, probably hies only in the
mid sixties, so almost a little touch of winter, and
then fro will saw south even get through Miami where
Tuesday morning could wake up into the fifties for the morning.
Low temperatures and some spots into the interior go west
and north up closer to Lake Okeachobee. I'll probably gonna
get into the forties too, So some cold air coming
(18:46):
to brief shot. We'll start modifying through the middle of
next week. Between now and then small rain chances. This morning,
there's some spotty showers down close to Naples, and it's
a couple of wipes on the windshield and you're done
with it. And down Miami might see a shower that
a little more cloud in spots today. Otherwise most low
eighties for a nice warm weekend coming up. And as
I said, that front comes through Monday and by Tuesday
(19:08):
morning get pretty cold around here.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Weather Channel mediaologists Ray stage Ic with us. Ray, thanks
so much. We'll talk to you in a bit, all right,
Tom Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay, Jason Barringer, Brianna Torres,
and Chris Trenkman from our newsroom. Coming up this hour,
Some key takeaways from Tuesday's election results. Just how concerned
should Republicans be? I'll break that down for you before
seven twenty plus more on the government shutdown and the
(19:31):
decision by the FA to cutback air traffic starting tomorrow.
Our national correspondent Rory O'Neil's going to check in with
that report at seven thirty five. Have to do a
minor fact check. I was called out by a listener.
I said earlier the UPS flight that crashed in Kentucky
was carrying two hundred and eighty thousand gallons of fuel.
(19:53):
It was actually thirty eight thousand. Minor mistake. I was
only off by about two hundred and forty two thousand gallons.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I can't believe you something wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, the video made it look like two hundred and
thirty eight thousand.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I can tell you that I believe enough you know
something raw.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm holding myself accountable. I must have read that it
was close to two hundred and eighty thousand pounds of fuel,
which if you do the math, would come out to
a like close to thirty eight thousand gallons.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
So I got called out.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We hold ourselves accountable on the show That's Right fact
check for you this morning. Time now for today's top stories,
brought to you by my friends over at the Holland
Retirement and Wealth Advisors. You are hard to save for
your future. They can help you make the most of it.
Find them online and ask the Hollands dot com. Good morning, Chris,
Good morning. It was an honest mistake. Honest mistake, honest mistake,
and again only off by about two.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Hundred and forty two thousand gallons.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Close.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So, an attorney is challenging a provision in state law
that he says has essentially screwed over homeowners who have
Citizens Insurance, which is the largest insurer in the state
of Florida by far. Nicole Kovatshka of Ruskin discovered that
her Citizen's policy included fine print that denied her the
right to sue in court, so when fire damage to
(21:06):
her home occurred during Hurricane Helene, Citizens declined to cover it.
The dispute was sent to Florida's Division of Administrative Hearings,
where Kavajka said the ruling went against her despite engineers
that she produced confirming that there was fire damage. Attorney
Christopher falter Roy is representing the Kavashkas and other Citizens
(21:27):
Policy owners. He says that under the twenty twenty three law,
citizens prevails ninety percent of the time and that homeowners
don't get a fair shake. In fact, in the process,
the judges and their staff who hear the disputes are
funded by the insurer itself.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It feels like things might be stacked against the homeowners.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
This look.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
This has been the criticism of the Republican legislature. They
keep saying they want to reduce costs to homeowners and
fix these issues, but then they passed these laws that
are so favorable to the insurance industry and in past
laws including provisions which is the state run agency that
you kind of wonder how homeowners can ever get their
claims prossibly.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Right. Look, there is a balance here.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I think there was a case to be made that
litigation was a bit out of control in this state.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I think the numbers back that up.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But when you try to fix that problem, you could
end up creating unintended consequences.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Or maybe some of them are intended consequences.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, definite, right, But you're creating other issues, mainly for
homeowners who have claims. I feel like they probably could
have done a little bit of a better setup than
having hearings overseen by judges who are getting funded.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Through the insurance who said that up, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't know who signed. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They wanted to offset the cost to taxpayers. They're like, well, okay,
we'll move these into these hearings as long as the
insurance industry reason to pay the costs for the hearing.
The problem with that is, how's that fair?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Right? Right?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And and citizens and state officials they're defending the system
saying it's faster and more cost effective than court.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Well, yeah, it's more cost effective because they're winning ninety
percent of the cases. Yeah, yeah, claim deny right exactly,
And for like a homeowner like that, the one you
mentioned that probably costs a bit to get engineers to
back up. You know, you've got to go through all
of those hoops, and then if you lose, you end
up paying citizens legal fees on top of all.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, in comparison, if you go to court, the homeowner
wins a little bit over fifty percent, maybe sixty percent
of the time. So this is a stark contrast for
that and clearly favors the insurance industry, and obviously they're
very happy you go to an administrative hearing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, like cool, you'll do that.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Imagine if there was a criminal court where you know,
if you're a defendant, you know you win, you can
win ninety percent of the cases, or the prosecution wins
ninety percent of the cases.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, So in this case, we'll see if the law
is challenged successfully in court. We do know there's a
federal investigation that was requested by Congressman Frost of Orlando
into this issue because he believes there may be civil
rights that are being violated here. But obviously, if you're
somebody who suffered damage in the hurricane, you just want
to get the damages paid for by your insurance policy.
(24:21):
You don't have to go through all this rigmarole, and
so that's the complaint. Disability rights advocates are challenging a
law that says that pregnant women can use parking spaces
reserved for people with disabilities, and the complaint alleges that
it violates federal protections for people with disabilities. It's called
the Expectant Mother Parking Permit and allows pregnant women to
(24:44):
obtain disabled parking placards at any point in their pregnancies.
So you can get a note from the doctor, pay
fifteen dollars and get yourself one of those handicapped placards
so you can park in those spaces. The federal lawsuit
was filed by a woman in Tallahad. She says that
it's not fair because the people who have disabilities are
(25:05):
not going to be completely closed out of the available spaces.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
So I think this is a little bit ridiculous. I
think it's great that there are some places now that
have spaces specifically for pregnant women. There's the disability spaces
and then the pregnant women's spaces for them, and businesses
that do this. But pregnancy is not a disability, and actually,
when you're very pregnant like that, walking is good for
(25:30):
you and could make the baby come out faster. So
walk now if you have a if you already have
a medical condition, and then pregnancy makes it more difficult
for you to walk and get around. Yeah, I feel
like that's a separate issue, and maybe then you should
be able to get the disability space. But the simple
fact of being pregnant and just not wanting to walk
(25:51):
because it's a little bit more difficult when you're that big.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
No, Well, and there's a difference between being three months
pregnant and nine months pregnant.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Right, right, Yeah, that's a big difference.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You're barely showing and you're pulling into that handicapped spot.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're gonna get some nasty looks, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I think the frustration here though, for like the general public,
is a lot of times you're driving around Target, it's
totally packed parking lot, but all the handicapped spaces are empty.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I know. So then you wonder, well, do we need
all of these spaces?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Right, I'm so pregnant. Why can't I just park there?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I guess that's maybe the origin of the law. But
you know, it's one of these things where what if
there are people who have legitimate disabilities who can't you know,
can't move easily, then are they going They're gonna be
a lot more pregnant people out there right shopping, right,
and so they could take up all the spaces on
a busy Saturday afternoon. And then if you've got that
parking lot, it's got all those handicapped spaces, and then
(26:41):
you add in some of these expecting mother parking spaces.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I mean, what about somebody like me who's lazy. I'm
gonna have to walk like a mile to get to
the store.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Maybe you need to walk?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, are you trying to tell me something, dude? Message
to scene.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
So I posted a pull on our Instagram at Ryan
Orhaman show to see what people think, and it's already
split fifty to fifty. So what people think.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
About this, Yeah, that's going to be a hotly contested issue.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Maybe a gender gap in the could be.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
So it started out as this frightening nine to one
one call where police rushed to the home thinking that
there had been this terrible home invasion, and now it
turns out that it was all fake. A woman claimed
that a stranger broke into her apartment in Saint Pete
and attacked her, and police say she made up the
whole story and used AI to help complete the scam.
(27:33):
So officers reported to a break in at thirty two
year old Brooke Chenault's home. The victim had shown proof
of images of a person that she didn't know entered
the home and may have injured her while getting inside
the house, according to police. They say that they brought
out the forensic teams and a canine unit searched the
(27:53):
area that found no evidence of any suspect, and then
her boyfriend called police and said that well, she and
told them the whole story Onmicers showed up that she
actually claimed that she had been sexually assaulted. They found
no evidence of that, but what they did find is
an AI generated image saved in her phone that was
(28:14):
created before she even called nine one one, and then
she used that image to say that that was the suspect,
the perpetrator who broke in an attacked her.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I mean, this story is alarming. I hadn't thought of
AI being used like this.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
That's exactly what I thought, Like, oh, shoot. Here we
go with another way that people can do crazy stuff
using AI and use all those police resources. And I
also saw something about the officer said this was something
about a TikTok.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, some social media trends. God only knows what they're
up to.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
But I am looking forward to the Law and Order
SPU episode that's going to be based off of this story,
because I know that's coming. That's right, Yeah, going to
base it on this because it's made for TV.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
The bas Law and Order AI.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Olivia Benson, She'll get them all right. Chris Trankman with
today's tap story. Chris, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Thank you
Tom Ryan Gorman with Danna McKay, Jason Barringer, and Chris
Trankman from our newsroom. Coming up this hour, a huge
development that could finally lead to an end the government shutdown.
I'm going to have that for you before five twenty plus.
Some key takeaways from Tuesday's election results. Just how concerned
should Republicans be. I'm going to break that down for
you at around five forty seven, but we start with
(00:23):
today's top stories and Chris Trankman, Good morning, Chris.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So a woman was arrested after telling her husband I
need to sacrifice and kill you both before attempting to
stab it. The Sheriff's office was responding to the home
in Seminole Tuesday morning after a victim claimed that his
wife attacked him with a knife. They found the victim
outside the home with a laceration to his left forearm.
(00:47):
The wife, Karen Dietert, was still inside and was taken
into custody. According to the arrest affidavit, the victim told
deputies he woke up found his wife standing over him,
asking where is our son? And he was asking her
what she was doing, and she's like, I need to
sacrifice and kill you both.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
So he was able to block the attack. He locked
himself in the bedroom and thought it was over, and
then he came out at a later time and Dieter
allegedly ambushed him from behind the refrigerator and lunged at
him with a knife and then tried to stab him
in the abdomen, but he was able to prevent that
and he was cut on his left arm. Now he
(01:28):
subdued her and called the cops, and they came in
and were able to take her into custody. But obviously
a disturbing situation for this guy. And now this woman
is facing attempted murder charges. It's like a horror story, right,
It's just something straight out of a horror movie. And
it reminded me of that scene from Goodfellas.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm not even gonna ask you if you I've actually.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Seen seen good Fellas many times, but I don't remember
the scene where anybody came out from behind the frame.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
No, no, no, it wasn't quite that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But the only money we had Carrie chrystill know the scene.
Remember when Henry Hill wakes up and she's on top
of him with the revolver pointed right at his forehead.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Oh I do remember.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, that's what this reminded me of.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The guy wakes up and she's right over him with
a knife, asking him, where's our son? I need to
sacrifice you both now, Henry Hill. He managed to get
out of that situation without getting harmed, and so did
this guy. Apparently a little cut but nothing seriously, I'm
talking about this. But she also said during the investigation,
(02:35):
these aren't the clothes I was wearing when I stabbed him.
So did she change like before law enforcement got there?
Some questions about that particular.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
No idea, And yeah, was this woman already a psycho?
Like did this surprise the guy out of nowhere? Because
she probably showed signs of being crazy before that?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, where was the son? Likely the sun wasn't harmed
in any of this.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But yeah, it sounds it's like a case of some
potential mental illnes.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, seems like it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know, we don't know the details, but it seems
unlikely that this just happened out of the blue, and
this was a one time thing, but clearly it reached
a point where his life was in danger. So the
Polk County Sheriff's office says thirty two people were arrested
during a sex Offender and Predator compliance initiative in the
weeks up leading to Halloween on October thirty. First debut
(03:24):
SA was aimed at enforcing compliance with Florida's laws for
registration for convicted sex offenders and sexual predators. So the
Sheriff's office says there are fourteen hundred sex offenders, one
hundred and fifty eight of whom are sexual predators registered
in Pole County, which is very encouraging if you live
over there.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's a big number. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Then, so they are checked every quarter to make sure
that they're complying. And so during those weeks leading up
to Halloween, fourteen sex offenders or predators were arrested. Two
warrants were served out of the out of state, and
then there were sixteen offenders or predators who were arrested
for probation violations, according to the Sheriff's office.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You know what's missing from this story is what was
the name of the operation? Like they did it, they
did it on Halloween. I'm looking for the name of
the operation, and they gave us nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The Sheriff, Grady Jutt, always has a great name for
its operation something right now, were you aware data of
the sexual offenders in your neighborhood before Halloween?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
But but I live in a deed restricted community, which
I think means that they're not allowed to live there.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh really, yes, I think if.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You look on the if you look on the outskirts
of the development there, that's kind of where they are.
But I don't think they can. I should look into
this more. But I remember talking about this with somebody
years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, you lived I don't know if your new place
is close to a school, but the last place you
lived in was like right by a school, so yeah,
I probably didn't have anybody.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I'm still I'm still pretty close to the school. Yeah,
but I don't know what the mileagees because I might
be over a mile away from the I don't know.
I don't know what the like, what the limit is
the perimeter?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So what if somebody like gets, you know, charged with
something like this and they're living and there already, Yeah,
do they get kicked out of your development or well?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I don't know, Well it happened. It happened in my
old neighborhood. That that's that Hillsborough County fireman who got
arrested for having all kinds of child porn and then
he ended up taking his own life in jail.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, they walk you out of the development like in Thrones. Shame, shame.
They should do.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
What we should be doing of these people. There are
so freaking many of them. It's so disturbing.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Is that show they had her walk naked? I don't
think they. I don't think so. Do you know in
your area, Chris, where the sexual predators are?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I don't think we want to know, right, freak me out?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, you can't find out pretty easily. What am I
going to do about it?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Though? Like you, I get up and leave. I mean
that's the problem, you know, you can't really. What you
hope is that these people are monitored by law enforcement
and that they don't act out on this, and if
they do, they go to jail. Well, I had the
guy living right across from the building right over who
was soliciting miners from the other coast. Yeah, they served
a big search warrant. You did the story, Chris. I
(06:09):
didn't realize what I knew something happened in my development
until you did the story.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And somewhere once I didn't know that it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Neighbor.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, that's a scary thing, but again, you know, it's
a situation where at least they have tabs on these
people and if they do misbehave, like on events like Halloween,
they're paying attention. So the Pasco County School District says,
it's inescapable kids and even teachers are using artificial intelligence
and they have to reckon with that and do something
(06:41):
about it. So the district has put out a set
of guidelines that they believe will help schools deal with
AI and help teachers prepare lessons and provide children with
tutorials and other methods that are guided knowing that AI
is out there, So they put out a nineteen page pamphlet.
(07:04):
It's still a work in progress, according to the district,
but it emphasizes the importance of viewing AI as a
tool to support learning rather than what it's viewed as
all the time, which is a substitute for doing work, like, Oh,
I'm just gonna have AI write my term paper of
AI do all the projects, right.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I would maybe run that pamphlet through AI and find
out how they can shorten it a little bit. Nineteen pages,
that's a long God, But I guess they're they're looking
at opening up Microsoft Copilot for high schoolers in December,
so they kind of want to have some guidelines in place.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And you can't you can't ignore this.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You can't prevent students or even teachers from using it.
So it's best to create those kind of guidelines and
incorporate it, you know, accept it, but do it in
a way that works for your school district.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Well, what about having some type of an AI program
for education where it won't write a term paper for you,
but if you write your own thing, it'll proof read
it for you, like so that it's it's a tool
and not a way for people to just cheat.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
There is a bill that's been proposed again for this
upcoming legislative session that would teach cursive writing in schools
and and you know, that's that's fine, but I guess
because some kids they can't sign things these days.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, but what is your signature? Like my signature is
a scribble.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It basically mine is too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I think what they really need they probably need to
require course, especially in high school, for kids to learn AI,
how to do prompts, things like that that would help
them a whole lot more than learning cursively.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, and now they have these like touch screens just
scribble on there. I mean I went to the election,
you know, when I did the voting, and they're like,
you gotta give your signature, and it.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Was a touch pad.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, and my signature didn't look anything like you can't.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Do with your finger.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You do it. Yeah, They're probably going to throw out
my vote because the signature doesn't match, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It's ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So the College Board did a survey and it says
more than half of high school students use AI tools
for schoolwork, and a majority say that it's helpful when
they need answers to.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Questions like thank The other half are lying like all
the answers, you know. I mean, that's the problem, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
So at least a school district is looking at this
and recognizing that this is something that has to be addressed.
Whether this is anywhere near solving the problem of students
not learning, though, there's a big question.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, they all need to look at this, all right.
Chris Dranckman with Today's Top Stories. Chris, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I'm Ryan Gorman.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
With Dana McKay, Jason Barringer, preamatories, and Natalie Rodriguez from
our newsroom. Coming up this hour, we'll get to today's
forecast with Weather Channel mediorologists Race Ageic before six fifteen.
Right after that, we've got our Bloomberg Business report and
an update on that deadly ups crash, Plus the Supreme
Court heard oral arguments yesterday, and the Trump tariff case,
(09:49):
the outcome of which is going to have a huge
impact on the power of the presidency and the economy.
We'll go through some of the key moments from the
hearing at six thirty five, and a huge development that
could finally lead to the end of the government shutdown.
I'm going to have that for you at around six
forty seven. First, we start with today's top stories and
Natalie Rodriguez, Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Three Miami voters are suing to keep Frank Godojo off
the runoff ballot after a term limit win. The ink
hasn't even dried on the new lifetime term limits that
was voted on just two days ago, and the Trio
want to stop anything that's going to keep the printing
runoff ballots from happening until his eligibility is resolved. So Gotojo,
(10:34):
who served two full terms as District three commissioner before
his brother Joe Gottoyo took over the seat in twenty nineteen,
led this eight candidate field in this week's election with
almost thirty percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He's expected to face.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Rolandos Calona, who just got over seventeen percent, in the
runoff next month. But there's a little sticking point that
the voters just banned exactly this kind of comeback. The
lifetime term limit chartermen was approved overwhelmingly, like over eighty
percent almost voters. That keeps anyone who's already served two
full terms from ever holding the same city office again.
(11:09):
And that is retroactive, So we shall see where this
ends up.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, with the voters passing that, I just I don't
see how if he won, he would be able to
serve this term again, right, actually win, well, like if
he wins in the runoff election. Let's say he wins,
he let's say he's allowed to compete in the runoff
election and he wins. This applies retroactively, so I don't
(11:38):
see how he ever takes that seat. But then what
do you do in the meantime, Like, if you do
go down the road of keeping him off the ballot
because of this, then do you elevate the third place
finisher and make them the runner up and part of
the runoff?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Does the other guy just automatically win?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, so there are some questions there. This is an
interesting little pnundrum with a County Commission scene. And then
you mentioned his brother, Joe Croyo. He told the Miami
Herald that that loss in that run for mayor marks
the end of his time seeking elected office. He said,
he's seventy and he's not going to be doing this again.
(12:18):
He's had two stints of Miami mayor multiple terms, like
you mentioned Natalie on the City Commission.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And you know at seventy he's going to give up. Yeah,
I'm surprised he's not running for Congress.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He'd be like a spring chicken on Capitol Hill if
he were to do that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
So I think he can afford it with all his
legal That is a really good point.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You mean that sixty three million dollars civil judgment against him.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, he's change. Yeah, all right, what else is going
on this morning? Natalie?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Oh, just a disturbing story again, this time involving an
ex teacher who was accused of sexual battery on a
student eight years ago. She's getting probation, thirty three year
old at Pamela Stigger. She pleaded no contest to fell
any battery charges related to this past incident in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And let's rewind. Let's see what happened.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
She was found in the backseat of a car with
a fifteen year old boy who's partially naked. He was
a member in her eighth grade drama class. On the
night of the incident. He told cops that he was
helping her prep for the upcoming production event that they
were working on at Forest Glenn Middle School in Coral Springs.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
This is disgusting. It is and another case where somebody
doesn't end up go, you know, getting the full punishment
broad they did. We just talked yesterday about the six
year old boy who was abused by his stepfather and
the guy's not going to prison.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, And it was kind of interesting how they were discovered.
So you had the Broward County Sheriff's Office deputies. They
were notified that a vehicle was stationed in the roadway
obstructing traffic. And then when they arrived at the scene,
they see her in the back seat of the vehicle
with like Dentellie mentioned, the fifteen year old boy partially undressed.
(13:56):
So it wasn't like they were, you know, in some
dark parking lot or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
They're in the middle of traffic.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, and then the teen tells deputies, yeah, we were,
you know, we were messing around. She denied it, and
then she claimed, well, he was seducing me. And the
original charges included sexual battery and low conduct, but prosecutors
for some reason didn't pursue those accounts. And now I
get the five years of probation, no jail time. I
just find it hard to believe if it was a
(14:25):
forty two year old man with a fifteen year old girl,
that there would just be probation as part of the punishment.
And I went and I tried to find out, you know,
when you've got these kinds of cases, how often does
it end in no prison time associated with it? And
(14:45):
in most cases you've got teachers who are convicted, like
not out of ten times, they're sentenced to you know,
about four years somewhere around there.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So this is kind of unusual.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Don't know why this decision was made, just like we
don't know why the decision was made in the case
that we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
And is it the same on the punishment when the
victim is a boy?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, that would be a really good question. I'm not
so sure, and you want I just I really wonder
if that has something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah. Good, the fact that it was a fifteen year
old boy, all right, that's interesting, it is. What else
is going on?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Oh, we've got four students that were four twenty friendly
at Margate Middle School rushed to the hospital. Apparently police
are saying that they ate last edible snacks on campus
and parents obviously are concerned about this.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That's concerning and it's troubling.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I just feel like they should bettle with monitoring the
kids and what they wearing to the school.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Several other students also were portedly exposed to these edibles
who did not require hospitalization. The kids are expected to
be okay, but now police obviously are investigating how the
kids get their hands on it these things and where'd
they get them from.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, the teacher knew something was up because she had
control of the classrooms.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The kids were chilled.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
They're all just like they're chilling out.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, She's like, what the hell's going on? Usually I
got to tell you guys to shut up.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And the classroom.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now, was this the case where the kids intentionally took
it or did somebody give it to them and they
didn't they thought they were actually taking some candy. Because
I've had to tell my son, like, he likes to
like share snacks with his friends and stuff, and I
told him he needs to stop doing that. I don't
like him eating random foods from people that he doesn't
really know very much.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I've I've been in that position before where I've had
a brownie and been like, wait a SEC's.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Had one experience with brownies and I will never do
an edible ever again. It messed me up big time. Now,
granted I kept eating them. Yeah, I was like, I
was like, why am I not feeling anything? This is
so bizarre? Let me eat another one? And I was
a mess.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I bet you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
All the other teachers so like, how can we couldn't
get our hands on any of those? We could use
them while we're trying to brownie to deal with the
school day. There vegan a Natalie Rodriguez with today's top stories. Natalie,
thanks so much, you got it. It's bringing Weather Channel
meteorologists Ray stage a four. Today's forecast brought to you
by Archwell Health. Archwell Health's preventative care for adults age
(17:06):
sixty plus means catching small issues before they.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Become big problems.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So, Ray, I want to start with something that I read,
and it was a look back at the hurricane season,
at least up to this point. I know it's not
over yet, but apparently Google's Deep Mind AI model has
been the standout performer while the US GFS model has
been a freaking disaster this hurricane season.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Well, the USGFS model is usually a disaster.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's great to know. So fair enough, I'm like already
waiting for the winter.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
I'm like, here we go, us always throwing these big
bomb going up these coast that, yes, the Google model
did perform well. As you mentioned, we're not out of
hurricane season. Another whatever it is days to go at
the end of the month, and things in the tropics
in the Atlantic quiet, I did catch something. I think
in the West pack of big typhoon is a unfortunately pounded.
(18:04):
I think the Philippines. Yeah, there have been some areas
have been hard hit there, but we're quiet here. I'm
just gonna go right to the headline. It could be
in the thirties Tuesday morning. Wow, maybe the upper thirties.
I mean, that's the chatter nobody cares about, you know,
sun clouds and low to mid eighties through the weekend.
Everybody wants to know how cold. And I think we
got a shot at getting into the upper thirties and
(18:26):
then a Chili Veterans Day, probably hies only in the
mid sixties, so almost a little touch of winter, and
then fro will saw south even get through Miami where
Tuesday morning could wake up into the fifties for the morning.
Low temperatures and some spots into the interior go west
and north up closer to Lake Okeachobee. I'll probably gonna
get into the forties too, So some cold air coming
(18:46):
to brief shot. We'll start modifying through the middle of
next week. Between now and then small rain chances. This morning,
there's some spotty showers down close to Naples, and it's
a couple of wipes on the windshield and you're done
with it. And down Miami might see a shower that
a little more cloud in spots today. Otherwise most low
eighties for a nice warm weekend coming up. And as
I said, that front comes through Monday and by Tuesday
(19:08):
morning get pretty cold around here.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Weather Channel mediaologists Ray stage Ic with us. Ray, thanks
so much. We'll talk to you in a bit, all right,
Tom Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay, Jason Barringer, Brianna Torres,
and Chris Trenkman from our newsroom. Coming up this hour,
Some key takeaways from Tuesday's election results. Just how concerned
should Republicans be? I'll break that down for you before
seven twenty plus more on the government shutdown and the
(19:31):
decision by the FA to cutback air traffic starting tomorrow.
Our national correspondent Rory O'Neil's going to check in with
that report at seven thirty five. Have to do a
minor fact check. I was called out by a listener.
I said earlier the UPS flight that crashed in Kentucky
was carrying two hundred and eighty thousand gallons of fuel.
(19:53):
It was actually thirty eight thousand. Minor mistake. I was
only off by about two hundred and forty two thousand gallons.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I can't believe you something wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, the video made it look like two hundred and
thirty eight thousand.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I can tell you that I believe enough you know
something raw.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm holding myself accountable. I must have read that it
was close to two hundred and eighty thousand pounds of fuel,
which if you do the math, would come out to
a like close to thirty eight thousand gallons.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
So I got called out.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We hold ourselves accountable on the show That's Right fact
check for you this morning. Time now for today's top stories,
brought to you by my friends over at the Holland
Retirement and Wealth Advisors. You are hard to save for
your future. They can help you make the most of it.
Find them online and ask the Hollands dot com. Good morning, Chris,
Good morning. It was an honest mistake. Honest mistake, honest mistake,
and again only off by about two.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Hundred and forty two thousand gallons.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Close.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So, an attorney is challenging a provision in state law
that he says has essentially screwed over homeowners who have
Citizens Insurance, which is the largest insurer in the state
of Florida by far. Nicole Kovatshka of Ruskin discovered that
her Citizen's policy included fine print that denied her the
right to sue in court, so when fire damage to
(21:06):
her home occurred during Hurricane Helene, Citizens declined to cover it.
The dispute was sent to Florida's Division of Administrative Hearings,
where Kavajka said the ruling went against her despite engineers
that she produced confirming that there was fire damage. Attorney
Christopher falter Roy is representing the Kavashkas and other Citizens
(21:27):
Policy owners. He says that under the twenty twenty three law,
citizens prevails ninety percent of the time and that homeowners
don't get a fair shake. In fact, in the process,
the judges and their staff who hear the disputes are
funded by the insurer itself.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It feels like things might be stacked against the homeowners.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
This look.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
This has been the criticism of the Republican legislature. They
keep saying they want to reduce costs to homeowners and
fix these issues, but then they passed these laws that
are so favorable to the insurance industry and in past
laws including provisions which is the state run agency that
you kind of wonder how homeowners can ever get their
claims prossibly.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Right. Look, there is a balance here.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I think there was a case to be made that
litigation was a bit out of control in this state.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I think the numbers back that up.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But when you try to fix that problem, you could
end up creating unintended consequences.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Or maybe some of them are intended consequences.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, definite, right, But you're creating other issues, mainly for
homeowners who have claims. I feel like they probably could
have done a little bit of a better setup than
having hearings overseen by judges who are getting funded.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Through the insurance who said that up, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't know who signed. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They wanted to offset the cost to taxpayers. They're like, well, okay,
we'll move these into these hearings as long as the
insurance industry reason to pay the costs for the hearing.
The problem with that is, how's that fair?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Right? Right?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And and citizens and state officials they're defending the system
saying it's faster and more cost effective than court.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Well, yeah, it's more cost effective because they're winning ninety
percent of the cases. Yeah, yeah, claim deny right exactly,
And for like a homeowner like that, the one you
mentioned that probably costs a bit to get engineers to
back up. You know, you've got to go through all
of those hoops, and then if you lose, you end
up paying citizens legal fees on top of all.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, in comparison, if you go to court, the homeowner
wins a little bit over fifty percent, maybe sixty percent
of the time. So this is a stark contrast for
that and clearly favors the insurance industry, and obviously they're
very happy you go to an administrative hearing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, like cool, you'll do that.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Imagine if there was a criminal court where you know,
if you're a defendant, you know you win, you can
win ninety percent of the cases, or the prosecution wins
ninety percent of the cases.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, So in this case, we'll see if the law
is challenged successfully in court. We do know there's a
federal investigation that was requested by Congressman Frost of Orlando
into this issue because he believes there may be civil
rights that are being violated here. But obviously, if you're
somebody who suffered damage in the hurricane, you just want
to get the damages paid for by your insurance policy.
(24:21):
You don't have to go through all this rigmarole, and
so that's the complaint. Disability rights advocates are challenging a
law that says that pregnant women can use parking spaces
reserved for people with disabilities, and the complaint alleges that
it violates federal protections for people with disabilities. It's called
the Expectant Mother Parking Permit and allows pregnant women to
(24:44):
obtain disabled parking placards at any point in their pregnancies.
So you can get a note from the doctor, pay
fifteen dollars and get yourself one of those handicapped placards
so you can park in those spaces. The federal lawsuit
was filed by a woman in Tallahad. She says that
it's not fair because the people who have disabilities are
(25:05):
not going to be completely closed out of the available spaces.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
So I think this is a little bit ridiculous. I
think it's great that there are some places now that
have spaces specifically for pregnant women. There's the disability spaces
and then the pregnant women's spaces for them, and businesses
that do this. But pregnancy is not a disability, and actually,
when you're very pregnant like that, walking is good for
(25:30):
you and could make the baby come out faster. So
walk now if you have a if you already have
a medical condition, and then pregnancy makes it more difficult
for you to walk and get around. Yeah, I feel
like that's a separate issue, and maybe then you should
be able to get the disability space. But the simple
fact of being pregnant and just not wanting to walk
(25:51):
because it's a little bit more difficult when you're that big.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
No, Well, and there's a difference between being three months
pregnant and nine months pregnant.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Right, right, Yeah, that's a big difference.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You're barely showing and you're pulling into that handicapped spot.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're gonna get some nasty looks, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I think the frustration here though, for like the general public,
is a lot of times you're driving around Target, it's
totally packed parking lot, but all the handicapped spaces are empty.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I know. So then you wonder, well, do we need
all of these spaces?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Right, I'm so pregnant. Why can't I just park there?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I guess that's maybe the origin of the law. But
you know, it's one of these things where what if
there are people who have legitimate disabilities who can't you know,
can't move easily, then are they going They're gonna be
a lot more pregnant people out there right shopping, right,
and so they could take up all the spaces on
a busy Saturday afternoon. And then if you've got that
parking lot, it's got all those handicapped spaces, and then
(26:41):
you add in some of these expecting mother parking spaces.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I mean, what about somebody like me who's lazy. I'm
gonna have to walk like a mile to get to
the store.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Maybe you need to walk?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, are you trying to tell me something, dude? Message
to scene.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
So I posted a pull on our Instagram at Ryan
Orhaman show to see what people think, and it's already
split fifty to fifty. So what people think.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
About this, Yeah, that's going to be a hotly contested issue.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Maybe a gender gap in the could be.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
So it started out as this frightening nine to one
one call where police rushed to the home thinking that
there had been this terrible home invasion, and now it
turns out that it was all fake. A woman claimed
that a stranger broke into her apartment in Saint Pete
and attacked her, and police say she made up the
whole story and used AI to help complete the scam.
(27:33):
So officers reported to a break in at thirty two
year old Brooke Chenault's home. The victim had shown proof
of images of a person that she didn't know entered
the home and may have injured her while getting inside
the house, according to police. They say that they brought
out the forensic teams and a canine unit searched the
(27:53):
area that found no evidence of any suspect, and then
her boyfriend called police and said that well, she and
told them the whole story Onmicers showed up that she
actually claimed that she had been sexually assaulted. They found
no evidence of that, but what they did find is
an AI generated image saved in her phone that was
(28:14):
created before she even called nine one one, and then
she used that image to say that that was the suspect,
the perpetrator who broke in an attacked her.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I mean, this story is alarming. I hadn't thought of
AI being used like this.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
That's exactly what I thought, Like, oh, shoot. Here we
go with another way that people can do crazy stuff
using AI and use all those police resources. And I
also saw something about the officer said this was something
about a TikTok.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, some social media trends. God only knows what they're
up to.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
But I am looking forward to the Law and Order
SPU episode that's going to be based off of this story,
because I know that's coming. That's right, Yeah, going to
base it on this because it's made for TV.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
The bas Law and Order AI.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Olivia Benson, She'll get them all right. Chris Trankman with
today's tap story. Chris, thanks so much.
