WTVT Good Day Tampa Bay 9AM September 12, 2016

Pillows. We think the same way. Im so scared this is what its become. We worked together long enough thats exactly what i was thinking. Scary thought. Hi laura. How are you gentlemen . Were good. Its hot its 81 degrees here. Temperatures, area wide, already 81 in winterhaven. Tampa, brandon, 81 in st. Petersburg. And the forecast 50 to 60 percent rain chance today with high of 91. Then 60 thing high as 70 percent tomorrow that will keep highs i. Rain chances are back, courtney. All right. Just washed my car. Of course the rain chances are back. Northbound 275 along the you can see this is tampa side of the bridge. Give yourself about eight minutes to cross that span. It does look like interstates are starting to thin out we still have problems along i4. Travel through palm harbor this more than southbound u. S. 19 just south nebraska avenue authorities working to clean up a wreck here. Reports of one lane blocked. But it does look again like delays are here thinning out not big issue for drivers at the time. Westbound i4 our big biggest problem spot. Still stop and go ride westbound interchange. It will take you about 16 minutes. Lets talk about this for a few minutes. This is what youve seen it already. Im sure. This was a Hillary Clinton leaving 9 11 memorial in new york yesterday. She had taken ill. As she tries to her way into the van. She, she staggers. She almost falls. People have to help her in. It turns out weve learned that pneumonia on friday. A lot of questions. We dealt with the medical issues of it in 8 oclock hour with dr. Jo. Lets talk about politics of it all now with Craig Patrick from Political Editor and also host money, power politics every night here on fox 13. Craigs on the phone here. Good morning russell how are you . Good. Good. Thanks for taking time to visit with us sure. One of the engines the last few weeks that has come up talk has been Hillary Clintons health. Her ability to be president based on her health. This certainly has to bring all of that back into light, yes . It certainly does. And on top of questions about her health, there were questions about trust. Trust worthiness. So if she has pneumonia and then you have a staffers dismissing it as allergies, leading up to question why didnt she disclose she has now money ya and judgment. She did a pneumonia and doctors were advises her to rest and she kept pushing through what does at that tell us about her judgment. Yes it raises question about her health. But it also raises questions about trust and judgment. Shes caught in a triple squeeze on this. I think this will therefore dominate the news cycle. I would say at least for first half of this week. And it raises more problems for Hillary Clinton just as she gears up for the first debate two the one thing i will say regarding all of this is, and maybe the campaign felt like they didnt have to, they didnt need to, but the Trump Campaign said virtually nothing about this. Well, donald trump has said shes not fit. And only donald trump can say that as boy, it has been relatively muted, hasnt he . Yes. That tells us something about state of his campaign and the script, staying on message, understanding in this case that you have circumstances working against Hillary Clinton and he doesnt need to pile on, doesnt need to be about him rather its about her. I think that is showing much more discipline than what weve seen from donald trump than we did two two or three weeks following the conventions. I guess if youre going to vote for trump youre going to vote for trump. Fury going to vote for hillary. Youre going vote for hillary. This doesnt really change your mind. There are those undecideds and how doe undecideds . I mean, to me, that was jarring to see her being lifted into that van yesterday. It all dpepdz. All depends on how Hillary Clinton responds to this. How well does she recover in advance of first debate that they have in two weeks. It ultimately depends on how forthcoming she is. How she addresses and quite frankly how quickly she recovers you go back nearly 40 years you had jimmy carter collapsing run. With that it raised real questions about his health at the time. As it turns out hes remarkably healthy for decades that transpired ever since. But in that moment, it cost him dearly same can hold true for Hillary Clinton particularly among late decider from one side or the other. Its interesting. Im sure you probably i know youre not here yet and probably havent seen much the show prior to now, but joette was on the show in the and she talked about how is this what they call walking pneumonia or this is a more serious type of pneumonia, and depending on on that how quickly shes able to get on her feet and get op trail. Does she have under lying health issues. We know going back 18 months from her personal physician she was declared quite healthy for a 68yearold. And 18 months that transpired since i think in a she is facing her Health Records to show that yes, a lot of people hit pneumonia. Push through and get better. Unless there are some other underlying issues. I think same could health true for donald trump too. There will be a pressure to release more of his Health Records. I think again this will dominate political coverage across the nation probably for the week if not the next couple of days. Okay. Craig, thanks. Good to talk to you as always. Well see you when when you get here. Thank you. Take care. Bye. It is developing this morning a toddler is in Critical Condition after a bad crash on the Courtney Campbell causeway. The accident involved four different vehicles. Fox 13s ken suarez is on that story this morning. Ken, its just awful. You know it is awful when we talk about any accident or crash. That anyone gets hurt in. But bottom line is when you have two kids, it even more unsettling. Were talking about two Different Girls that got hurt in this accident as you said before, laura. Now one of them just two years old. We understand that she is in Critical Condition. The second one, three years old. We understand she was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. Six other people all adults were also taken to the hospital last night. This whole ordeal began around 7 00 p. M. Sunday. 23yearold woman was on the Courtney Campbell approaching damascus road. She told investigators she took her eyes off the road for just a few seconds. And ended up slamming into the back of a honda the odyssey was stopped at the traffic lights. So were a couple of other cars. That started a chain reaction. When all was said and done four cars were involved. Now odyssey is you see on video was pretty banged up. I can tell you that the 23yearold driver of the car at the center of this whole thing, i understand she did pretty well. She had to go to the hospital. Not severely injured. Team on other two cars they were furm away from bacteria doing about two little ones. Because they were in odyssey. Twoyearold and 3yearold. They were pretty seriously hurt last night. Understand that Clearwater Police will be giving us an update a some point today probably this morning we will tell you who they are doing probably also going release the names of the people involved. Back to you. All right. Ken, thank you. Russell. Were watching this this morning. There has ab fire at a mosque. And its the same pulse shooter omar mateen attended. Detectives have ruled it an arson. According to st. Lucie county Sheriffs Office flames broke out Islamic Center of fort pierce around 12 30 this morning. No one was inside at the time. Sheriffs office says surveillance camera captured someone starting the fire. But they are not releasing that video. In pasco county, crew wills begin removing storm debris today. They are asking homeowners to put damage and trash on the kufb mailboxes. Fire hydrants or utility boxes. They also want you to divide it categories are separate uppers mentals appliance, construction like insulation and jie drawl and vegetation like tree limbs. In a war zone even the most basic comforts can be hard to find. Its not the war keeping cigars from soldiers. Right now, the Tobacco Control act forbids the charitable distribution of tobacco well, representative kathy castor has introduced a bill that would change that. Hr662 would exempt premium cigar Tobacco Control act. It would allow Cigar Companies to donate their products to military. So far castor says she has at least 165 cosponsors. Good news for bay area schools. A few of them have been ranged among nations healthiest. Six bay area schools in fact have been honored by alliance and all of this six schools are in pinellas county. List was based on nutrition standards for meals, for availability of breakfast and for the amount of physical education of availability. Belcher and curtis fundamental Elementary Schools were awarded with gold levels. Tarpon springs elementary got a silver. And clearwater fundamental middle lynch elementary, and pinellas secondary all got bronze. Nice. Finally good news for pinellas schools, right . Yeah. Yeah. Seems like hockey wrapped up right. But we are now just a month out from the puck dropping on the new see on. This morning they are getting ice ready amalie arena. We will show you how coming up 9 30. And lot of bucs fans waking up pretty happy. Walter will break it down with Kevin Odonnell our monday morning quarterback. Thats coming up after the break. First jen epstein is in for Charley Belcher this morning and getting welding lesson, right . They sure are, laura i survived welding incident maybe i will call it that, Tampa Bay Technical High School is not all about welding, and torching these students are creating works of art. Like this masterpiece. Were going to meet the student Award Winning student who put together this piece of art. And plus, a couple of the other the bucs are undefeated and at the top of the nfc south they won their first game of the regular season against Division Rivals the atlanta falcons. They birds 31 to 24 in the georgia dome. Dirty birds. Difficulty birds. They still use that they are still dirty. That means, new head coach dirk cutter is 3 and 0bucs against falcons. In last couple of seasons. Bringing monday morning quarterback Kevin Odonnell. Victory monday morning. Victory monday how about that. You got to like it. Once talked about, i expected this by the way. Not shocked. Not shocked at all. No. No. Not a bad i think they are an average team. I think bucs are mortal incidented they just need to play their game and they did. Got off to a slow start. But they, they finally won this thing and how about the game ball. We got to take a look at this. Take a look at this. Evening hes really happy we went out there and fought for this man. We fought for him. Biggest mistake Jameis Winston he threw a pick that was his biggest mi stick i fumbled game ball it was exciting to see the real emotion coming out with these guys. When they share this video with us. Because, by time cooling off period and ten minutes later they get to talk to media, theyre they are deadlined. Very straight faced thinking out to next week. Emotion. It was good game yesterday. I just thought, for if you are Football Game itself it was very entertaining long time we can say this about that bucs team. Reason bucs kept dirk cutter around. Before we get to jameis and stats and all of that stuff. When you look at this, you look at the video of his half time speech in florida state, people are looking at him as a leader this thing. I talked to jerl mccoy about it. He was a face of franchise. That was thrown upon him when he came in. This was back in may. He said Jameis Winston is no the face of franchise yet. He doesnt need to be. He needs to come in, a little slow, see how things work. And then eventually grow into the person he was. By mid season he was ready. And gerald told me he was ready at that point. We saw Jameis Winston a florida state. Guy says full of fire and passion. And those guys, i mean, its hard not to feed off that he gets you excited. If youre on the team theres no way that you can grow go out there and play flat after listening to James Winston. Play flat listening and also watching stuff he did four touchdown passes yesterday . Yeah, i mean you can talk all you want and, you know, give the speech all you want but go out and perform. Thats thing James Winston does he goes out and performs he through four touchdown passes yesterday 17 completions in first half most hes ever had a he finished strong. Close start but finished when they needed to to finish and he hit on some big plays too. These went like dining and dunk down the field and run ball in from 5 yard line. He was striking with some, with m big touchdown plays. Lets talk about defense. Running out of the time. Lets talk about the defense. They really, showed up when they needed to and closed the game. Thats the key. Thats the difference you see inspect an average team oream thats in development and team that really is starting to arrive is team with defense can close out game when have lead so many times they saw last year bucs would blow an opportunity to win a game defense couldnt just finish i think that was biggest reason lovie smith was fired he came in here to build a defense to be dominant. We saw in the 90s and 2000s. And it never came around. Because they couldnt close out games. Yesterday, when falcons were only down by 17 points bucs stepped up their game front for put lot of pressure on matt ryan him. Very exciting. Tough test again. On road again in glen dale, arizona. Much more difficult team coming up Arizona Cardinals they are angry after losing to jimmy garoppolo. Jimmy. How about that. Hopefully well talk again after another win. Well talking. I cant say a victory monday as exciting as this one. But well talking. Well talking. As always thank you for coming on on this monday morning before we go, Dave Osterberg, take look continues for rays. Check out their outfits as rookies they were sporting on to the teams toronto. Are you are you kidding me . Team us a ip expired sing yes, they even posted photographic proof the rookies wore outfits all the way on to the plane. Thats rough. Thats what you got to do.
