00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Show weekend update.
00:00:04.360 Governor DeSantis declares a state of emergency.
00:00:08.060 Millions of Floridians are bracing for a strong storm building up now in the Gulf of Mexico
00:00:13.280 and state officials expect the tropical depression to become a tropical storm later today.
00:00:20.060 And they now believe the tropical storm or hurricane
00:00:23.480 will make landfall on Florida's northwestern coast above Tampa by Wednesday.
00:00:28.360 The governor's executive order covers almost half of Florida's counties
00:00:32.820 and more than 10 million Floridians who could be affected by that storm
00:00:37.640 if the Weather Service's current models of the storm path hold up.
00:00:42.480 The state of Louisiana has a crisis of its own.
00:00:45.820 An unprecedented number of wildfires are raging across the state.
00:00:50.940 An incredible 441 fires are broken out between the first of the month and the end of last week.
00:00:57.480 The Gateway Pundit reporting state forestry officials say they've never seen anything like this
00:01:03.500 and the department suspects arson in a number of those fires.
00:01:08.240 Evacuations have been ordered in southwestern Louisiana near the Texas border.
00:01:14.080 And in Georgia, a different kind of firestorm over a comment by Governor Brian Kemp.
00:01:19.840 Kemp told a gathering of voters in Perry, Georgia that if, quote,
00:01:24.020 you give anybody a voting machine, they can hack it, end quote.
00:01:29.660 As if there weren't already enough controversies in Georgia over the voting machines,
00:01:34.880 already a leading University of Michigan computer expert
00:01:38.280 has delivered a months-long study showing that Georgia voting machines
00:01:43.180 had at least nine vulnerabilities to outside manipulation.
00:01:47.340 The Daily Mail reports that the drowning death of President Obama's chef,
00:01:53.080 Tafari Campbell, is spawning conspiracy theories after conspiracy theories.
00:01:58.780 Massachusetts state police refusing to give any information about how Campbell,
00:02:04.080 a capable swimmer, drowned in shallow water while paddleboarding
00:02:08.300 with a 26-year-old female Obama staffer.
00:02:11.680 Not far from Obama's summer mansion in Edgartown on July 23rd.
00:02:17.480 Authorities say he drowned that evening.
00:02:20.300 A 911 call came into the Edgartown Police Department at 7.46 p.m.
00:02:26.860 But the name on the police report has been redacted.
00:02:30.240 Who was it?
00:02:31.340 Secret service, most likely, but no one is saying.
00:02:34.960 Who is the female staffer?
00:02:36.920 Again, no one is saying.
00:02:39.080 And where were the Obamas?
00:02:40.640 A lot of secrecy there as well.
00:02:43.760 Who were they with?
00:02:44.780 Why the secrecy?
00:02:46.300 Saying they're in Martha's Vineyard, we're told, but not at their house.
00:02:50.720 But even that is unclear.
00:02:52.880 The Massachusetts state police say they weren't home, but in Martha's Vineyard.
00:02:57.680 So what were they doing there?
00:02:59.700 Why all the secrecy?
00:03:01.080 And where were the Obama girls?
00:03:03.400 There, apparently, but they left about two days after Campbell's body was found.
00:03:08.540 The Massachusetts state police still refuses to make public the recording of the 911 call.
00:03:15.740 The toxicology report on Campbell they won't make available either, nor the autopsy report,
00:03:22.220 claiming it's state policy.
00:03:24.120 But it's not.
00:03:25.420 The agency's flat out lying, saying state law won't let them release that information.
00:03:31.240 But that's not true.
00:03:32.860 So what are they hiding?
00:03:33.960 The investigators' secrecy is spreading conspiracy theories like, well, wildfire.
00:03:41.340 And did I mention that the Obama's summer mansion is only a few miles from the Dyke Bridge
00:03:46.520 in Chappaquiddick, which was also the site of a controversial drowning and a lot of secrecy
00:03:53.120 that still surrounds the event more than a half century ago.
00:03:57.100 We'll be bringing you up to date on all those mysteries this week.
00:04:02.480 The Obama chef's drowning.
00:04:04.480 The drowning of RFK's campaign staffer Mary Jo Kopechny some 54 years ago within just a few
00:04:12.560 miles of each other.
00:04:14.660 And why we still don't know all about the assassination of JFK.
00:04:20.000 Americans have the right to know.
00:04:22.260 And we'll be doing our part here as best we can.
00:04:25.420 This is Lou Dobbs with the Great America Weekend Update.
