SEND IT OVER TO NEWS. 00:00AM MORNING ANCHOR JUSTIN WARMOTH WITH THE WEEKLY.
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON
CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH
JUSTIN WARMOTH.
>> GOOD MORNING. I’M JUSTIN
WARMOTH AND THIS MORNING WE
ARE JOINED BY NEWS 6
INVESTIGATOR MIKE HOLFELD WHO
HAS BEEN INUNDATED IN THE LAST
WEEK AND A HALF. E-MAILS PHONE
CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES ABOUT
A SEVERE ISSUE. MIKE, WHEN IT
COMES TO THE DEO WEBSITE AND A
PIN RESET. PEOPLE ARE CALLING
IT A PEN LOOP, A GLITCH IN THE
SYSTEM. BOTTOM LINE AS
HEADACHES ALL AROUND. SO TAKE
US BACK TO WHEN THIS FIRST
STARTED AND THE REASONING
BEHIND THE PEN RESET. THE 2
WORDS YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
IS FORCE RESET. AND GOOD
MORNING, EVERYONE. WHAT WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE.
>> IS FRAUD. WE HAVE CYBER
THIEVES TARGETING THE DEO
ACCOUNTS HERE DOMESTICALLY AND
INTERNATIONALLY. WHAT ARE THEY
AFTER. THEY’RE AFTER YOUR
IDENTITIES TO OUR MONEY. THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE’S MONEY. AND
SO THOSE ARE TAXPAYER DOLLARS
THAT ARE BEING FUNNELED. 2
OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE UNITED
STATES AND THEN OUT OF THE
COUNTRY. THAT’S THE BIG
PICTURE. WHAT WE DID WITH THIS
FORCE RESET, WE MEANING THE
STATE OF FLORIDA WAS TO TRY TO
HAVE PEOPLE RESET THEIR PIN.
SO THE THIEVES WOULD KNOW HOW
TO GET IN. UNFORTUNATELY THERE
WE USE THE WORD GLITCH. NOW WE
KNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME WE CAN
REVEAL THEIR OUR BUTTS IN THE
SYSTEM. SO EVEN WHILE IT WAS
DESIGNED TO FIX, THERE WAS
SOMEONE ELSE IN THERE TRYING
TO AN FIX IT. AND SO THAT’S
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU HEARD
ABOUT THIS LOOP, THEY HIT THE
BUTTON. YOU TRY TO RESET YOUR
PEN AND WHAT HAPPENED. YOU
COULDN’T SEE ANYTHING ACTIVELY
ACTIVELY AS PEOPLE TRY FORCE
RESET. THEIR PEN. PEOPLE ARE
ACTIVELY GETTING INTO THE
SITE.
>> SIMULTANEOUSLY AS WE SPEAK.
SO IT’S NOT LIKE THEY’RE DOING
THIS IN RESPONSE. THEY’RE
DOING THIS WHILE I MEAN, AS
THE PLANE IS FLYING EXACTLY.
SO I D I T MY HATS OFF TO
THEM. TREMENDOUS.
>> THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE
PROBLEM WAS. THEN THEY HAD TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. AND
THEY’VE DONE THAT. SO BY
THURSDAY, THEY STARTED SENDING
OUT NEWLY LINKS AND I’VE SEEN
A COUPLE OF THINGS HAPPEN.
I’VE SEEN.
>> ALL PIN NUMBERS WORK. THE
PIN CODES, PERSONAL
INFORMATION IDENTIFICATION
NUMBERS PERSONAL
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS. THOSE
ON THE WORK AND THE NEW ONES
WERE RESET. SO I HAVE A LOT OF
PEOPLE REJOICING, BUT I STILL
HAVE SOME PEOPLE FRUSTRATED
AND HERE’S WHY. JUSTIN,
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE PIN
RESET IS THE MAJOR STORY OF
THE WEEK LAST WEEK AND A HALF
TO GET STARTED AUGUST FOR
THEM. THE OTHER THING IS
ACCOUNTS ARE LOCKED RIGHT. AND
THEY’RE LOCKED BECAUSE THESE
THEMES THAT WERE ALLUDING TO
ARE STILL TRYING TO GET INTO
THESE ACCOUNTS. SO THE DEO
HAVE TO MAKE SURE JUSTIN IS
JUSTIN MIKE IS MIKE AND YOU
REALLY ARE HOLDING THAT
ACCOUNT BECAUSE WE HEAR FROM
PEOPLE WHO SAY, HEY, I WENT
THROUGH IT AND IT SAID THAT I
HAVE REACHED THE MAXIMUM
NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS AND THEY
HAVE IT ALL. I HAD PEOPLE CALL
ME UP. MIKE, I DIDN’T EVEN
TOUCH THE BUTTON THAT IT WAS
IN THE SCREEN AND THAT WAS THE
SO-CALLED GLITCH. BUT IT
WASN’T A GLITCH WAS A HACK AND
YOU’LL HEAR OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF WEEKS. WHAT THE DEAL
IS DOING ABOUT IT AGAIN. YOU
DON’T KNOW YOU. I KNOW YOU’RE
FRUSTRATED, BUT THEY ARE DOING
A YEOMAN’S JOB TRYING TO STOP
THESE GUYS. IT’S
INTERNATIONAL. WE BELIEVE,
POSSIBLY NIGERIA AND RUSSIA.
PEOPLE ARE BEING USED. YOU’VE
HEARD ME USE THIS TERM. WE DO
OUR STORIES WITH THE SECRET
SERVICE AS MULES. AND SO
WHAT’S HAPPENING IS THAT MONEY
IS BEING PIPED. OTHER BANK
ACCOUNTS AND THEN THOSE BANK
ACCOUNTS ARE GOING OUT OF THE
COUNTRY. SO IT’S A IT SOUNDS
LIKE A MOVIE, BUT IT’S LIFE.
AND UNFORTUNATELY WE’RE ALL
LIVING IT AND WE’RE TRYING TO
WORK WITH THE DEO TO EXPEDITE
THIS AND GET THESE ACCOUNTS
OPENED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
NOW EXPLAIN OUR VIEWERS WHO
MAY NOT HAVE DEALT WITH THIS
UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM. WHY IT’S
SO CRITICAL TIMING WISE
BECAUSE THIS IS THIS ACCOUNT
IS USED TO FILE THEIR BENEFITS
AND CLAIM THOSE BENEFITS.
RIGHT. SO TIMING IS OF THE
UPMOST IMPORTANCE HERE. YES,
THAT’S TRUE BECAUSE YOU HAVE
TO PUT IN FOR THE WEEKS. I’M
PUTTING IN FOR MY WEEKS THAT
THE PEOPLE WILL SAY TO ME AND
IF YOU DON’T GET IN ON TIME.
YOU LOSE THOSE WEEKS. BUT I’M
HERE TO TELL YOU, BECAUSE OF
WHAT’S HAPPENING. EVEN IF YOU
DIDN’T GET THOSE WEEKS AND THE
DEAL WILL MAKE GOOD ON THE
MONEY. THE PROBLEM IS YOU
DON’T HAVE THE MONEY NOW YOU
CAN SPEND I GOT PEOPLE ON THE
PHONE MEN AND WOMEN CRYING. I
NEED MY MONEY. I’M LIVING IN
MY CAR. I LOST MY HOUSE. MY
KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL. I
DON’T HAVE A DIME. THEY’RE
DEPENDING ON THESE FUNDS AND
THEY WERE STOPPED DRAMATICALLY
AND WITHOUT WARNING ON AUGUST
4TH BECAUSE OF THIS LATEST
HACK. SO THEY’RE TRYING TO
TURN IT AROUND. WE’VE HAD BIG
SUCCESS THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND
THEN GOING INTO NEXT WEEK. IT
WILL I’LL BE TALKING WITH A
DANE EAGLE. THE DIRECTOR OF
THE DEO WHO’S INHERITED THIS
THING. AND AS YOU KNOW, THE
GOVERNOR HAS APPROVED LOTS OF
MONEY TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM
GRANT AND HOPEFULLY THE
CONNECT SYSTEM AS WE KNOW HOW
WILL BE CHANGED GET A FACELIFT
BECAUSE IF YOU GO ON TWITTER
AND YOU SEE THE RESPONSES FROM
PEOPLE EVERY TIME THE DEO
TWEETS OUT THE CONNECT IS
OPEN. THEY STILL CANNOT ACCESS
WHO THEY NEED TO TALK TO.
RIGHT. THE PHONE LINES ARE
JAMMED. I MEAN, TECH ISSUES
THEY’VE BEEN HACKED. I MEAN,
IT FEELS LIKE THE SITUATION
FEELS LIKE APRIL OF 2020. IS
IT AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT IF
IT’S LISTEN TO I PUT MY FACE
UP LIKE THIS BECAUSE I KNOW
HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS REMEMBER
WHEN WE FIRST GOT HIT WITH
THIS IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR.
AND I’VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR
YEAR AND A HALF NOW, FOLKS
THAT THIS HAS BEEN MY WE WERE
PREPARED FOR THIS. THIS WAS
OVERWHELMING. AND YOU HEARD ME
USE THAT TERM ON THE AIR. THE
DEO IS OVER. WELL, NO ONE HAS
EVER GONE THROUGH ANYTHING
LIKE THIS. NO ONE HAD
ANTICIPATED A PANDEMIC.
>> FAST FORWARD TO 2021. IT’S
DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE CYBER
THIEVES ARE TARGETING SPECIFIC
ACCOUNTS. THE DEO IS TRYING TO
AS THE SECRET SERVICE WOULD
SAY, PUNCH COUNTER PUNCH TO
TRY TO STOP IT. BUT THEY’RE
STILL SNEAKING IN DEO. I T HAS
DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. THEY
ARE BLOCKING THEM. THEY’VE
STOPPED. LISTEN TO THIS AND
I’LL BE REPORTING ON NEXT
WEEK. 70% OF THE JOB
APPLICATIONS. THE JOBLESS
APPLICATIONS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS IN JULY. 70 1% OF
THEM, FOLKS FRAUD. THEY WERE
ALL IMPOSTERS. THERE WERE A
160,000 CLAIMS FILED IN JULY.
113,000 OF THEM JUST IN. WE’RE
FIX. IT’S INSANE. THAT’S JUST
ONE MONTH. SO NOW YOU KNOW,
WHAT THE DEAL IS DOING. AND I
KNOW IT’S FRUSTRATING FOLKS. I
KNOW YOU NEED THAT MONEY. BUT
THESE THEMES ARE GOING AFTER
YOUR ACCOUNT AND THE DEO IS
TRYING TO IT PUT YOU FIRST. SO
THEY ARE THEY STEALING
IDENTITIES AND USING YESTERDAY
OR YOU OR ANYONE ELSE AT HOME
USING THEIR NAMES TO FILE
UNEMPLOYMENT ONLY IN FLORIDA.
BUT CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA AND
THAT SOMETHING ELSE WILL BE
BREAKING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF WORKING WITH THE SECRET
SERVICE ON THAT.
>> AND THAT WE HAVE A GUY IN A
POCKET WHO YOU’LL YOU’LL IN IN
SEPTEMBER. ONE WHO WAS
RECEIVING DEBIT CARDS FROM
CALIFORNIA AND HE THOUGHT HE
WAS IN LOVE WITH A GIRL. SO
THEY’RE USING ALL THESE SORTS
OF SCHEMES TO RIP OFF THE
TAXPAYERS NOT ONLY HERE IN
FLORIDA BUT THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY. WAS MIND BOGGLING. IT
REALLY IS BECAUSE IT ISN’T
BECAUSE OF THESE UNEMPLOYMENT
SYSTEMS.
>> AND MAYBE THEY ARE A LITTLE
ARE ARCHAIC AND MAYBE THEY
CAN’T STOP HACKERS AS SOME OF
THE OTHER SITES IS IS IT
BECAUSE THE SITE IS
VULNERABLE. IS THAT WHY
THEY’RE TARGETING. YES, THE
UNEMPLOYMENT SIDE. YES. AND
WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY’LL STEAL
YOUR IDENTIFICATION THEY’LL
GET IN THAT. I’VE HEARD THIS
STORY AT NAUSEUM THEY GET IN
THERE NOT ONLY HAVE THEY
ACCESSED YOUR ACCOUNT. THEY
CHANGED THE BANK. SO YOUR
DESIGNATED ACCOUNT TO GET YOUR
BENEFITS IS GONE. THERE’S A
NEW ONE IN THERE. AND GUESS
WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING INTO
THEIR HANDS. SO THAT’S WHAT
THE DEO IS DEALING WITH. AND
THAT’S WHY WHEN YOU SEE WHY IS
MY ACCOUNT LOCKED. NOBODY
TRIED TO HACK ME. I DON’T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. YES, THEY
DID I THE NUMBERS. 58,000 IS
WHAT DID THE DEO HAS SAID. I
MEAN, I KNOW THAT IT SEEMS
MORE. IT IS. I MEAN, GREAT
QUESTION. YOU GOT INSTINCTS
AND YOU’RE RIGHT. EASILY.
WE’RE LOOKING AT A 150 TO
EASILY. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE
HERE AT NEWS 6 AND MAKE ENDS
MEET THAT THIS FRANCHISE THAT
WE BUILT TO HELP EVERYONE WITH
THIS UNEMPLOYMENT ISSUE. YOU
KNOW, WE SAW 6,000 EMAIL
REQUESTS FOR HELP THIS WEEK.
ALONE. WE OPENED UP A TEXT
SYSTEM SO PEOPLE CAN TEXT ME
AND FOR SOME REASON THEY
THOUGHT THEY COULD CALL ME.
NO, YOU TEXT ME. THAT’S AT
4,000 OR 5,000 AND THE NUMBERS
JUST CAN’T IMAGINE THAT. JUST
CENTRAL FLORIDA TO WE’RE
CENTRAL FLORIDA WHERE ONE
STATION, BUT WE’RE GETTING
CALLS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
YEAH. I KNOW THAT THE WORD HAS
SPREAD THAT YOU ARE A MIRACLE
WORKER. WE’RE GOING TO TALK
MORE ABOUT THAT. WE HAVE TO
TAKE A SHORT BREAK. BUT MIKE,
STICK AROUND. WE’LL HAVE MORE
COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH JUSTIN WARMOTH.
>> WELCOME BACK TO THE WEEKLY.
JUSTIN WARMOTH JOINED THIS
MORNING BY NEWS 6 INVESTIGATOR
MIKE HOLFELD MAKE ENDS MEET
INVESTIGATOR, WHICH IS REALLY
THE HAT. YOU’VE BEEN WEARING
FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF
HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE AND THE
WORK DOES NOT STOP. THIS WEEK
AND LAST WEEK HAVE BEEN A
NIGHTMARE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE
ON UNEMPLOYMENT ALREADY
STRETCHED THIN TO BEGIN WITH.
AND NOW THEIR BENEFITS. THEY
CAN ACCESS BECAUSE OF HEART
PIN RESET THERE IN A PEN LOOP.
IT’S IT’S IT’S A MESS. AND
YOU’VE BEEN HELPING A LOT OF
PEOPLE AND CAN YOU TALK ABOUT
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE
REACHED OUT TO NEWS 6 TO YOU
INDIVIDUALLY TO A TECH SERVICE
IT’S IMPORTANT TO HAMMER THIS
HOME. A TECH SERVICE, NOT A
COAL SERVICE, RIGHT. SO YOU
CAN HELP THEM. I KNOW. I’M
GLAD BROUGHT UP THE TECHS ARE
FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU NEED ME,
MAKE ENDS MEET. AT WKMG DOT
COM. OR YOU CAN E-MAIL MY
PERSONAL HOLFELD THAT WKMG DOT
COM. AND PUT THIS ON CLICK
ORLANDO AS WELL.
>> THE TEXT NUMBER WE SET UP.
IT’S CALLED THE SUBTEXT
CAMPAIGN THAT NEW 6 HAS JUST
UNVEILED. WE STARTED THE
BEGINNING OR THE END OF JUNE.
WE HAD ROUGHLY 300 MEMBERS
TODAY AS WE SPEAK. WE’RE CLOSE
TO 6,000 MEMBERS AND PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN CALLING IN SAYING
AND E-MAILING ME AND SAYING
WAIT A MINUTE, THE PHONE
NUMBER DOESN’T WORK. I CALL
THEM THE PHONE NUMBER DOESN’T
WORK TO FIGHT. YOU’RE NOT
GOING TO HEAR MY VOICE. WE
WANT YOU TO TEXT INFORMATION.
GIVE ME YOUR NAME, YOUR
CLAIMANT NUMBER FOR THE LAST 4
OF YOUR SOUL AND TELL ME WHAT
YOUR ISSUE IS AND WE’LL GET TO
YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REMEMBER, I TOLD YOU WERE AT
THE WHAT ALMOST 5 TO 6,000
TEXT, BUT WE’RE MOVING THEM
QUICKLY AND WE’RE PIPING THAT
INFORMATION TO THE DEO 2, A
TEAM OF INVESTIGATORS TO
REVIEW THE CASE AND TRY TO GET
IT FINISHED AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE SO YOU CAN OPEN UP
YOUR ACCOUNT AND GET THOSE
BENEFITS. YOU REALLY
STREAMLINED THE PROCESS. SO AT
FIRST YOU HAD A WAVE OF 500
THAT YOU SENT ME. YOU GOT A
CALL. A LEE INFORMATION
NEEDED.
>> MORE IS COMING THOUGH. I
IMAGINE THERE WILL BE A NUMBER
OF DUMPS THAT YOU DO TO HELP
OUT EVEN MORE PEOPLE AS THIS
PROBLEM CAN SO GLAD YOU
BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE WHEN
THEY SAID THEY WERE PUTTING
TOGETHER THIS THIS NEW PIN
RESET. I THOUGHT, OKAY, THAT
WE DON’T NEED TO SEND THE
NAMES UP. NO, BECAUSE THEY’RE
TRYING TO GAUGE THE TRENDS
BASED ON WHAT NEW 6 AND MAKE
ENDS MEET IS PUTTING TOGETHER.
>> SO THIS WEEK WE PROBABLY
SENT. I’M GOING TO SAY 3,000
EMAILS WERE GOING TO SEND
ANOTHER 3,000 NEXT WEEK AND
I’M NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL
THEY’RE ALL SET AND I DO
FOLLOW-UP CALLS. SO PLEASE
E-MAIL ME IF YOU SAY MIKE, YOU
KNOW, YOU SENT MY NAME. I
STILL HAVEN’T OR HEARD
ANYTHING IN SOME CASES AND I
CAN’T NAME NAMES. BUT IN SOME
CASES INVESTIGATORS ARE
CALLING OUR VIEWERS AND PEOPLE
ACROSS THE STATE PERSONALLY SO
THAT WE CAN REOPEN THESE
LOCKED AND COUNTS BECAUSE I’M
TALKING ABOUT SINGLE TALKING
ABOUT PARENTS WITH KIDS.
THEY’RE DEPENDING ON THOSE
BENEFITS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
THEY WERE SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF
THIS. THIS PIN RESET. SO WHERE
DO WE GO FROM HERE. I MEAN, I
KNOW THAT OUR LAWMAKERS ARE
ARE ALSO.
>> AWARE OF WHAT’S THEY IT’S
HARD NOT TO BE AWARE OF WHAT’S
HAPPENING. YOU TALKED TO STATE
SENATOR LINDA STEWART. I KNOW
I’M A NUMBER OF OTHER CENTRAL
FLORIDA MEMBERS OF THE FLORIDA
LEGISLATURE ARE LOOKING INTO
THIS ARE TRYING TO HELP
PEOPLE. SO WHAT’S THE NEXT
STEP? I MEAN, WHAT WHAT CAN WE
EXPECT GOING FORWARD IS GOING
TO BE A CONTINUED NO DEO IS ON
TOP OF IT WITH THIS NEW VERIFY
SYSTEM IS THAT IS THAT
SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK WILL
HELP. I KNOW IT’LL HELP
BECAUSE THEY’LL PUT IT IN THE
CLOUD AND WE’RE USING
ANTIQUATED SYSTEM THAT REALLY
COULDN’T ACCOMMODATE THE NEED
OF OF FLORIDA FAMILIES. I
MEAN, THEY HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS. MY LORD. WHEN
GOVERNOR SCOTT WAS IN HERE. HE
HAD A SYSTEM THAT WOULD
ACCOMMODATE THAT WE’RE IN
GREAT TIME. NOT A PANDEMIC.
NOT NOT MASSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT.
YES, IT WILL IMPROVE.
>> DANE EAGLE. THE DIRECTOR
HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. HE
INHERITED THIS THING. HE’S
WORKING NONSTOP. AND I JUST
WANT TO SAY SOMETHING OFF THE
DEO PART OF THIS. AND THAT IS
WHERE WE HAVE HURRICANES AND
STORMS AND COMMUNITIES ARE HIT
THE DEO STEPS IN THERE TO
PROVIDE MONEY FOR THE
COMMUNITIES UNHURT. SO DAME
DOES NOT HAVE JUST THE DEO IN
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS TO WORRY
ABOUT. THAT’S WHY YOU’LL SEE
HIM SIDE BY SIDE WITH GOVERNOR
DESANTIS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF
THE STATE. THE GOVERNOR IS
WELL AWARE THAT THE SYSTEM, AS
HE PUT IT, LIKE AN OLD JALOPY.
THAT’S HOW HE DESCRIBED IT. HE
KNEW THAT THEY PUT THE MONEY
IN FOR 2 YEARS. THE MONEY IS
THERE TO REVAMP THE SYSTEM AND
I’M TOLD TO EXPECT SOMETHING
PROBABLY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
HERE. A NEW SYSTEM, A NEW SET
UP AND HOPEFULLY VERY
STREAMLINED AND EFFICIENT. SO
WE ARE NOT GOING THROUGH THIS
ANYMORE AND MY PHONE STOPS
RINGING RIGHTS BECAUSE WELL,
PEOPLE CALL YOU BECAUSE THEY
CAN’T GET THROUGH TO THE DEO.
THE PHONE LINES ARE TIED UP.
THEY END OF THE CONTRACTS WITH
3RD VENDOR TO HELP THEM
ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE PHONE
CALLS INTO THAT IN JUNE.
>> AND NOW THEY’RE GETTING
INUNDATED WITH CALLS. THEY
CAN’T GET THROUGH SOME PEOPLE
SAY THEY WAIT ON HOLD FOR AN
HOUR AND THEN THE CALL DROPS.
SO IT’S FRUSTRATING AND NOT TO
MENTION THERE WERE 523,000
JOBLESS FLORIDIANS AS OF JUNE
2021. THAT IS A 5%
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. THE DEO
TOLD YOU 58,000 PEOPLE HAVE
IMPACTED. I KNOW YOU. YOU SAID
BETWEEN 15300 THAT SEEMS TO
MAKE MORE SENSE WHEN IT COMES
OUT BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS AND YOU LOOK AT
THE RESPONSE THAT JUST YOU ARE
GETTING. HAS TO BE MORE THAN
50,000 ALL IT IS BECAUSE WE’RE
WORKING WITH THE LAWMAKERS.
WE’VE SET UP THIS BASICALLY A
NETWORK. YEAH. WITH THE SECRET
SERVICE WITH LAWMAKERS, WITH
THE DEO, WITH DANE EAGLED, THE
GOVERNOR’S DESCENT OF STAFF.
>> WE’RE DOING THIS DANE
EAGLE. SORRY, DAME. WE’RE
TOGETHER AS A NETWORK AND ITS
UNIQUE THAT A TELEVISION
STATION WOULD DO THIS. BUT
THESE ARE UNIQUE TIMES. SO
WE’VE SET THIS BRIDGE BETWEEN
GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA AS
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. WE
ARE THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
AND WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER.
WE ALL CARE ABOUT THE
UNEMPLOYED. WE KNOW THIS
BENEFITS THING HAS BEEN A
NIGHTMARE AND WE’RE TRYING TO
FIX IT. WE THE DEAL. OUR
LAWMAKERS. AND OF COURSE, NEW
6 YOU HAVE TO END UP IN A
SITUATION THAT WE ARE AND
CURRENTLY IT TAKES TEAMWORK.
IT TAKES A NUMBER.
>> OF PEOPLE TO REACH OUT AND
TO CONNECT THE DOTS, TO
ULTIMATELY GET THOSE FUNDS
INTO THE HANDS OF FLORIDIANS
WHO NEED IT THE MOST. YOU HAVE
SPOKE TO A NUMBER OF THEM. I
KNOW OFF CAMERA AND ON CAMERA.
SOME OF THE STORIES THAT
YOU’VE BEEN TELLING. SO MANY
PEOPLE JUST, YOU KNOW, REALLY
IT’S A SAD SITUATION. I MEAN,
YEAH, YOU A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO RELY ON ON THESE FUNDS AND
WHEN THE RUG IS PULLED OUT
FROM UNDERNEATH THEM. THEY
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO YOU KNOW
HOW HOW TO SURVIVE THEY THEY
CAN’T. WELL BECAUSE THEY’RE
ALREADY ON UNEMPLOYMENT RIGHT
THERE ON EMPLOYED. THEY WANT
TO GO BACK. I TALK TO A MOM
THURSDAY AND I GOT HER PIN
RESET OPEN.
>> SHE WAS SO HAPPY I I MEAN,
YOU KNOW, LIKE SHE WON THE
LOTTERY BECAUSE SHE NEEDED
THAT MONEY. SHE WAS GETTING
800 EVERY 2 WEEKS BECAUSE SHE
HAS THE KIDS THE HUSBAND IS
TRYING TO WORK. SHE’S TRYING
TO WORK. SHE’S IN THE
RESTAURANT BUSINESS. THE
PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OF COVID
AND THE DELTA VARIANT. SHE’S
AFRAID TO GO BACK EVEN WITH
THE VACCINE BECAUSE OF THE
KITS. SO IT’S A FRUSTRATING
SITUATION AND THINK ABOUT IT.
>> THEY ARE LIVING ON THAT
MONEY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE EVEN
THOUGH JOBS ARE AVAILABLE
BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH
QUESTION. THEY’RE AFRAID TO GO
BACK RIGHT IN WITH THE
VACCINE. AND AND THAT’S THE
THING WE’VE HEARD ABOUT WITH
DEBATES MASK. NO MAN. SHOULD I
GO BACK AND LETS THE PROBLEM
AND THAT’S THE DEBATE IT SEEMS
NOW, I THINK MORE PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S NOT JUST
PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO LIVE
OFF OF UNEMPLOYMENT THIS IS A
HEALTH WE’RE IN A PANDEMIC AND
SO MANY PEOPLE. THEY FEAR FOR
THEIR SAFETY BY WORKING A AND
B, IF THEY HAVE KIDS, THEY
DON’T WANT THEIR KIDS IN
SCHOOL. SO CHILD CARE BECOMES
AN ISSUE AS WELL. AND SO IT’S
MORE, YOU KNOW, LOT OF PEOPLE
THOUGHT, OH, IF WE TAKE AWAY
THE FEDERAL. SUPPLEMENT ON TOP
OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT THAT THE
STATE GIVES OUT THAT WILL FIX
THE PROBLEM FOR THE LABOR
SHORTAGE IN. WE’VE SEEN NOW
THAT IT’S BEEN TESTED THAT
THAT IS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE
THERE’S A SIGNIFICANT LATER
LABOR SHORTAGE ALSO THAT
EQUATION. JUSTIN DIDN’T WORK
OUT IN SOME FOR SOME IT DID.
BUT FOR SOME IT DID NOT
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOUR SKILLS
ARE RIGHT NOW. THERE’S JUST SO
MANY JOBS AND SOME PEOPLE
THAT.
>> OUR EXPERTISE IN ONE THING.
IF THE JOBS OUT THERE, WHAT
ARE THEY GOING REINVENT
THEMSELVES WITH KIDS AT HOME
IN BILLS TO PAY ITS TOP IS
YOUR SAID THAN I DO WANT TO
HAMMER THIS POINT HOME ONCE
AGAIN, AS RUN OUT OF TIME
HERE. IF PEOPLE ARE DEALING
WITH THIS AND CONTINUE TO DEAL
WITH IT. I KNOW THAT MORE AND
MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING ABLE TO
ACCESS ACCOUNTS. BUT AS WE
CONTINUE TO MOVE ON THROUGH
THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE
BEST WAY FOR THEM TO REACH OUT
TO YOU IS THROUGH. DO YOU
THINK THE TAX SERVICE. I LIKE
THE TECH SERVICES 7, 6, 7, 6,
7, 4, 2, 8, WHAT YOU DO IS YOU
TEXT MAKE ENDS MEET TO THAT
NUMBER. TEXT TO THAT NUMBER
AND WILL RESPOND TO YOU. GIVE
ME THE INFORMATION AND OF
COURSE MAKE ENDS MEET. AT WKMG
DOT COM AND WE’RE WORKING AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE A
PRODUCER AND SEVERAL STAFFERS
THE STATION’S BEHIND ARE SENT
ON THIS. AND DANE EAGLE IS
SUPPORTING US AS WELL. AND
HOPEFULLY WE’RE GOING TO HELP
EVERYONE GET THE BENEFITS THEY
DESERVE A MIRACLE WORKER HAHA.
I MEAN, FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOU ARE, MIKE, YOU’RE THE LAST
LINE THAT THEY’VE BEEN TRYING
TO GET A HOLD OF SO MANY
PEOPLE TRYING TO ACCESS THERE
THEIR ACCOUNTS AND WHEN YOU
CAN FINALLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN
FOR THEM. I KNOW THAT IS A
WEIGHT OFF OF THEIR SHOULDERS.
SO WE APPRECIATE KNOW A LOT OF
PEOPLE APPRECIATE FOR MORE ON
MIKE’S REPORTS. BUT A
CLICKORLANDO.COM, SLASH MAKE
ENDS MEET. YOU CAN ALSO FIND
