So we're headed over to WPTV local NBC station to talk about traffic. We're going to go take a look at the impact on the president gets here and the Chinese president get here. Palm Beach, this is the season. This is when people are here. The population expands. People from all over the world come to Palm Beach. It's an international destination. That has never seen anything like what's about to happen where the president of China, the president of China, the president of the United States are both going to be here and it's going to shut the city down. When the president comes, is it always a big story or you guys are used to it? You know what's become the big story is the impact on the daily routine or people's lives. Not so much why is he here or what he's talking about. Traffic is the main deal. We don't know when he's going to play golf or when he's going to leave. So when that happens, that's just kind of sudden and makes an impact because of the rolling road blocks. And the air restrictions, the ocean restrictions, the intercostal restrictions, all of those going to place. They're in place now. And so really when the president comes, this is the sixth time since he was inaugurated. People have become aware to stay away from Palm Beach, which sometimes frustrates businesses. Fortunately for us and for the president, the trip from the airport to Marilago is really quick. Are people excited that the president of the United States this weekend, the president of China are coming here or? This visit has a different kind of feel to it. There's a sense of Palm Beach is becoming important, not just in Florida, not just in the East Coast or in the country, but across the world. Dave, I'm Mark. How are you? Let's see. What's a news daylight here when the president's here? Like when he's here, is that what people talk about? Or now that he's been here a couple times, people are over hurricane. So the biggest. Yeah, that would be covered. There's like a political hurricane. This is a political hurricane. It's not really a political area. I mean, you don't walk into a grocery store. People are talking politics. Right. So unless it's something that's struck story day to day life, it's not something that on a daily basis they're going to talk about. Right. Our biggest story, primarily, is the security. We had the sheriff speaking about it. He said he's treating this as a hurricane situation. We're going to be all the way around. We're going to be at the airport. We're going to be talking about traffic and impacts on different protests that are taking place. That's a massive rain screen. It's kind of awesome. We got news anchors there. We got traffic there, weather there. And today we got traffic and weather for the lighting. Good morning. Well, our traffic really moving along pretty well so far this morning. All right. If I click this is better than a week. There we go. So here's Palm Beach International Airport. Right. Little Air Force one. And that's where the Chinese President Xi will land as well. Yes. Okay. This visit is compared to the previous ones. More closures, more law enforcement. A lot more law enforcement. Absolutely. We're talking double according to the sheriff. Right. They'll head southern all the way across that bridge right tomorrow. Logo right here. And typically the president has come in during rush hour, right, which has created a headache for people in that area. Mostly private residences. So there are businesses there. Any hotels? Not really. Pretty much private. So those are the people whose lives are the most directly impacted. Yeah. The island is not that big. Right. And there's not a lot of roads. So anytime that you have this, it's going to back things up. It's going to make it more complicated. Show me where the protest areas are. So they usually come along the Bingham Island. And that's pretty much as close as they can get. You can see more protesters on the streets. More street closures are going to start going up. You got some pro-Trump people around. Here's a pro-Trump display of sorts. Incredible. We may need to shoot that thing. Right. Yeah. We got to shoot that. Make a return, please. Is yours, sir? Yes. It's owned by over family. And we have Trump supporters, so she can... It's subtle, but I can tell you, Trump supporters. This sign, I think, is new for this week. It's new for this week. Is the rest of it new or everything else? No. Underneath is something called Finniut. It's made out of two Mercedes station wagons put together. I can't really describe what it is. Like a manifestation of support. Thank you again. Jeff Green is your typical Palm Beach billionaire. I'm going to find out what he thinks of Mr. Trump comes to Palm Beach. So basically there are no poor people in this part of the town. There's no poor people at the same time. Even the poorest people aren't poor here. In fact, by national standards. Steve Schwartzman's, Mrs. Vows. The first house is Jim Clark, who started Netscape. It's on the market now for I think $169 million. Is this area having name, this neighborhood? They call it billionaires, I don't know why. Billionaires, who I can't imagine why. This is Rod Stewart's house. He's here. Right here. Slow down. Rod Stewart's house. He comes here a lot. He comes whenever he requests my every year. This one here is Paul Tudor Jones. This is Mara Lago. I guess I can't leave right now. Wow. What's going on here? We go ask him. I live next door. How long till I can get across the bridge? We're waiting for the barricades to get put up. What's going to be shut down? The old bridge? This right here is going to be all shut down. South and boulevard bridges being closed this trip? Yes, sir. So here we are. We can get out of the beach if you want to really look back at Mara Lago. If somebody said to me, why doesn't he just do this in the White House? Well, you know, as an American, where do you want your president to be involved in one of those important negotiations for our country? Who wanted to be where he's most comfortable? Kind of crazy to think. It's almost like this is sort of the White House. Right. It's surreal. The day you were there and they seated you next to him as president, what was like the mood in the room like? It's no different than when he was there before. Just commenting on the pretzel bread to me and asking me where I thought of it. How you doing? Big fan Steve Gotwell. Steve, what are you doing here? You live here? I live here. Yeah. Tell me about the disruption of the traffic. What's that like? Oh, it's no big deal. No, it really isn't. People learn to navigate. There's three bridges. So we can all navigate. It's not so bad. And to people who live here now feel like not the Palm Beach wasn't on the map before, but now you're like the center of the universe. We're a little publicity shy for the most part. Most people, especially the old timers. Right. So yeah, but it's still exciting. It's just great. When the first time he flew out, we had something called a flyover. It's a southern boulevard, the flyover. When he was taking off, although I've seen many Air Force 1 leave from here, it was just, you know, I had goosebumps watching that plane fly out. It's a very big loud gigantic plane. My last question is, do you explain to people who don't know what the season is? Well, out of season is blissful. It's beautiful. We say we get our village back. In season, there's no other place in the world that has such great weather. George Bennett is a political reporter for the Palm Beach Post. He's been here since 1992. He's covered Trump before he was president when he was writing about the real estate business here. Before he ran for president before he got elected. What was his relationship with Palm Beach? A little bit of a parallel or of his political experience. When he first came here, Palm Beach has this very old-state establishment. And he was this brash anti-establishment guy coming on the scene and ruffling a lot of feathers, offending a lot of people. You know, when he first proposed to change Mar-a-Lago making it a private club, you know, people in Palm Beach, you thought he was going to put up a neon casino or something. I mean, there was a lot of pearl clutching over there. Now, you know, 20 years later, it's kind of accepted an established part of Palm Beach. So you've been here for Air Force One arrival, right? Yeah. How does this today compare? You know, there's usually about this many people. They get to stand in this pen and then... He doesn't come over there. No, a lot of times will come over. So that's kind of the big suspense element, especially on Facebook Live. He's done it three or four times. Normally they'll have a skill in here, but normally there's a checkpoint. I think we probably came early. If we're here, maybe we can at least see Trump playing.
