and behind Lee County's decision to not have that mandatory evacuation until the day before the storm.

Well, did you, where was your industry station when the storm hit? Were you guys in Lee County?

No, you were in Tampa. So that's, you know, they were following the weather track and they had to make decisions based on that.

But, you know, 72 hours, they weren't even in the cone. 48 hours, they were on the periphery.

So you got to make the decisions the best you can. I will say, you know, they delivered the message to people.

They had shelters open, you know, everybody had adequate opportunity to at least get to a shelter within the county.

But, you know, a lot of the residents did not, did not want to do that.

I think for probably for various reasons, some people just don't want to leave their home period, their island people, whatever.

But I think part of it was so much attention was paid to Tampa that I think a lot of them probably thought that they wouldn't get the worst of it.

So, you know, they, but they did it. And I think it's, it's easy to second guess them, but they were ready for the whole time and and made that.

Let me, let me, let me bring a Cortez first for Dave Walsh. We said this was going to happen.

They're eventually going to get all over the Santas for this. And it's, it just shows you how politicized the mainstream media is Cortez.

I think a brilliant job was done across the board in in Florida, your assessment.

Yes. Listen, Ron DeSantis is proving once again why he is by far the best governor of America. And I don't think it's even particularly close.

Because not only is he right on policy, not only has he been effective in a practical way in terms of getting help and assistance to people who needed all over his state.

But on top of that, he's also fantastic at the messaging. We saw him right there in that interview taking on CNN.

He has a complete command of all of the details. He's able to communicate it very quickly, very effectively, very forcefully.

He's just an unbelievable leader. And it's one of the reasons why Florida continues to be the state that attracts Americans, attracts businesses and citizens.

People who are voting with their feet. It is truly, you know, thankfully, the sunshine state of America in every way, including economically and politically.

It's going through a tough time, obviously, right now. But with a leader like Ron DeSantis for radians are going to recover as quickly as is possible.

I bring in Dave Walsh, our energy expert Dave, your assessment of their attack on on a wall, sheer fluidian on the preparation.

Also, the mainstream media is spinning, I think, a very untrue story about the power coming back on in this effort, a united effort of many people, particularly working class men and women to get Florida stood back up immediately. Dave Walsh.
