1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Richard, good morning, Good morning.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Make so we enter week three week three year had

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: beginning with no clear view in view in sight and

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: signs perhaps of a growing conflict. The latest US targets

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: have been as you've seen on Carg Island, where most

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: of Iran's crude oilers process. Trump says these strikes could

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: widen to affect the actual oil operations, but so far

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: Chris Ripe, Energy Secretary here is saying the.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: United States did not target their energy infrastructure on Carg Island,

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: just the military infrastructure that's on the island. But since

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: this conflict started, Iran has been attacking the energy infrastructure

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: all around.

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: The golf well A Pentagon says US and as run

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 2: to take so far have reduced irans missile stocks by

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: ninety percent, they drone capability by ninety five percent, but

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: Iran has effectively shut down the strata for MOOSE, which

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: typically sees the passage of what twenty percent of world

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: oil supplies. President Trump has claimed in a phone interview

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: with nbc Now that Tehran is ready to make a deal,

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: but he says the terms are not good enough yet.

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: He gave no details on Foreign Minister Abbas Arauchi has

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: said on US media now that there is no such

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: diplomacy for the moment.

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: Well, there is nothing on the table right now. Everything

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 4: depends on the future. If anytime in the future we

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: decide to enter into negotiation with the US or other interlocutors,

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 4: you know, we may decide what to put on the table.

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Interesting to hear him talking like that right now, isn't it.

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: Trump says he is hearing that Aarum's new supreme leader

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: might be dead. That if he's alive, he should quote

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: do something very smart and surrender. Araji says Mushtaba Kameni,

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: the son of the Ayatola who was killed in the

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: air strikes, is in full health. Meantime, what next, The

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: Energy secretary says, Well, wars are unpredictable. He thinks the

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: war could be over within a few more weeks.

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: I think that's a likely time frame.

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: Yes, while Democratic senators are saying they put no weight

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: on that. Meantime, the Pentagon is ramping up their forces,

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: sending to the regions several more warships and five thousand

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: more troops, including a marine expeditionary force that includes a

41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: Headian landing team and a logistics group capable of operating

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: in isolated environments for up to fifteen days. So does

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: that mean boots on the ground. Is this war close

44
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: to wrapping or is it about to expand? Trump also

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: is seeking help from other countries in securing these straight

46
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: but Secretary Wright refused a short time ago to give

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: any details.

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: I won't get in front of the president or announcements

49
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: on that, but I have been in dialogue with some

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: of those nations, so I know that to be true.

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: Well, another issue is Russia, with Trump easying oil sanctions

52
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: on some Russian oil shipments, which right is seeking now

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: to defend. Here's what he's saying on that front.

54
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: So this is not rewarding Russia. I understand that it

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 3: can be seen that way.

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: Well, wrong move is how Ukraine Zelensky sees it. And

57
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: Democrat and shift Adam Schiff is saying that he agrees

58
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: with that.

59
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 5: We are now giving Russia essentially one hundred and forty

60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 5: million dollars a day by releasing these lusher from these sanctions,

61
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: when Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to better attack

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 5: and kill America troops.

63
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: With it all, Trump is lashing out more and more

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: at the media. In a post, Trump now says he

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: has defunded public TV and radio. Remove Joy Reed and

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: African American from MSNBC. Here removed Lester Holt, also African

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: American from NBC. Brought massive layoffs to the Amazon owned

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: Washington Post, ended the late night comedy show of Stephen Colbert,

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: changed the ownership of CBS, push for new ownership at

70
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: CNN through the Warners Paramount merger, among others. Trump saying

71
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: his critics are quote sick and demented. This post was

72
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: followed by a post from Brendan Carr, the chairman of

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: the FCC Federal Communications Commission, who writes that fake news

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: outlets have a chance to quote correct course before their

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: license renewals come up. Carr says broadcasters must act in

76
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: the public interest and they will lose their licenses if

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: they do not. End quote.

78
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: How tight security today for the oscars?

79
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Against the backdrop of all of this, OSCAR

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: organizers are saying if they've never seen anything quite like it.

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: They have police dogs and swat teams, anti technology, even

82
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: sharpshooters on patrol. Some of this paraphernalia, I guess could

83
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: have had the role in one of the two top

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: Best Picture contenders one battle after another with its story

85
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: of Leedocaprio was a washed up radical taking on oppression

86
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: and family frictions. Here as a callip you, mom, we

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: used to run around and do some real batches.

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: They got hurt.

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: Now they're coming after us.

90
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: Sorry, I didn't ask for this. That's just how the

91
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: cards will.

92
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Rolled out for me.

93
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: It's not cards. You don't roll cards as Dice.

94
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: In other roles of the Dice the horror film Sinners,

95
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: Michael B. Jordan is a favorite for Best Actor at

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: its head late momentum, making this a nail binder of

97
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: a year, while Hamlet's Jesse Buckley is expected to win

98
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: for Best Actress at the Oscars coming up soon.

99
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,360

102
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: the hunt for the Reserve Bank chair went to court

103
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: and they said there's nothing there. And Piro, who's the

104
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: ag in charge of that particular story, she says she'll appeal.

105
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: So j Pel got off it. But it's not over yet.

106
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: There's a customer at Costco who's suing Costco for the

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: refund on the tariffs. Costco is suing the government, So

108
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the customer sues Costco, Costco sues the government. So that's

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: going really well for them. Meantime, the mortgage rates in

110
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: America over the weekend it was five nine nine. Last

00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,200
