there s the snowy forecast for seattle. got to get this in here. look at what s happening in hawaii. not too much activity on the satellite right now. look what s developing. this is a kona low. it is going to smash the north shore of the big islands. anywhere from oahu and maui, we have potential for 15 feet of waves. on the open oceans, we have the potential of seeing waves in excess of 60 feet. that is not a mispronunciation, 60 feet or more. let me take you to the beaches on the north shore. this is actually honolulu. they are closing down the beaches. everybody wants to go swimming with the big waves. that is not a good idea. that s a little much. surfers. thank you. the top stories are up after this. stay with us. when we started our business
right. so what do you say to that? well, i was not aware of any major error at all. i knew there was a bit of mispronunciation when i combined two words. it s obviously a very unfortunate result, but not coming to my consciousness that there was a major problem or much of a problem at all. i just moved on. i have explained in some other interviews, don, that the meteorologists, some people don t know, they are completely unscripted most of the time, at least most meteorologists in middle size markets. there is no teleprompter. it s just you and the green screen and whatever graphics and stuff that you generated. you got it. did it take you three days to explain it? what happened? well, let me first explain
so before we get to the conversation, you said that this was unintentional. that s correct. explain to me, how so? i mean, the word that many people thought they heard, i don t know if i have ever said that word in my life. i certainly know not in the last 20 years or so of my professional career. so it just wouldn t happen. do you know that that is a slur that people use against dr. king? i m sure you have since learned that. you know, i am sure i have heard it. i know of it certainly now i know a lot about it. but at the time when i was mispronouncing his name, don, it was a mispronunciation and i could tell that i was fumbling
not in the last 20 years or so of my professional career. so it just wouldn t happen. do you know that that is a slur that people use against dr. king, right? i m sure you ve since learned that? you know i m sure i ve heard it and i know of the it certainly now a lot about it. but at the time when i was mispronouncing his name, don, it was a mispronunciation. i could tell i was fumbleing his words a little bit. and the moment i realized i was fumbleing i immediately put the emphasize on king, not knowing i had made a major error. i did what all of us journalists do, i moved on. so as we ve been talking about the stories, they say well, maybe he didn t intend to do it but maybe it s something
on the other hand you had some that decided to, let s stay away, let s stay away. they did very poorly. i m not sure that i should be happy or sad, but i feel just fine about it. carlos cuebela. he put you there with some mispronunciation on the list of republicans who lost. was he wrong in what he said there? ari, the president gets zero points for style. he s extremely divisive. he can be very petty. he takes everything personally. so there s no defending that, and i don t know very many people who do, but there is a reality here. this is a president who ran on this border security promise. of course he did say mexico would he ran on a promise that mexico would pay for it. that was the promise. i mean, i could tell you both of you are politicians. no question. the government now hangs in the balance. the democrats here taking power,
