Vance said on Fox News that if 48 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: that was the case, why would they build en Richmond 49 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: facilities seven feet underground.

That's a hit and run investigation 119 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 8: there on the right shoulder with slowing back from Los 120 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 8: Sierra fifteen southbound just pass Baseline. There two vehicles involved 121 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 8: in a crash on the right shoulder I fifteen southbound 122 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 8: at Cleghorn, coming through the Kohen Pass.

This morning, it's five oh seven 130 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: on your wake up call. Time to say good morning 131 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: to ABC's Stephen Portnoy Stephen. Secretary of State Marco Rubio 132 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: had to sit down with a gang of eight and 133 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: then came out and explained why he said the US 134 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: went into Iran. Now, what was that explanation. 135 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 9: The explanation is that the US knew that Israel was 136 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 9: about to strike, and then an Israeli strike would have 137 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 9: prompted Iranian retaliation that would have targeted US interests and 138 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 9: personnel in the region. Rubio said, if the US didn't 139 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 9: preemptively go after Iran at the same time as Israel 140 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 9: that quote, we would suffer higher casualties and there'd be 141 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 9: calls for accountability on Capitol Hill as to why the 142 00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 9: US wasn't better positioned to take out Iranian defense or 143 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 9: retaliatory actions in the midst of the Israeli strike. So 144 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 9: that leads to new questions about Wait, so what you're 145 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 9: saying is that Israel led US into this after the 146 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 9: US and Israel had been planning and coordinating this for months. 147 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 9: Moving up the timing based on American intelligence of where 148 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 9: the Ayatola was going to be on Saturday morning, it 149 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 9: raises more questions. 150 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: Now. 151 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 9: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters yesterday that he sees the 152 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 9: new rationale as an appropriate one for a defensive posture. 153 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 9: But Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, says, no, 154 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 9: there needs to be proof of an imminent threat to 155 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 9: American interests, not one precipitated by an allied coordinated strike. 156 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: Okay, So, now I watched when Rubio came out, and 157 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: to me it sounded plausible. But like you said, there 158 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: is more questions. And then Schumer came out and that 159 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: after that briefing, there's more questions. It is, aren't most 160 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: of the Democrats on the record saying HAMAINI was a 161 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: murderous thug, denouncing the protesters being killed and taken into 162 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: custody and that kind of stuff. 163 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 9: So well, oh, sure, right, lots of good reasons. The 164 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 9: idea that it was retribution in a war Iran started 165 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 9: forty seven years ago. That's what the Defense secretary said 166 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 9: the President suggested in his State of the Union address 167 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 9: that Iran could soon have ballistic missiles, even though the 168 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 9: Pentagon says that capability was nine years away. There's the 169 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 9: argument Iran refused to make a nuclear deal. The President 170 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 9: just put that on social media again, that they just didn't. 171 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 9: And I want to get this exactly right here. He 172 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 9: said that now they want to talk, and he's agreed 173 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 9: to talk, so they'll be talking to them. I don't 174 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 9: know who they are. I guess whatever remains of the 175 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 9: Iranian regime. They should have done it sooner. They should 176 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 9: have given what was very practical and easy to do sooner. 177 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 9: They waited too long, he told The Atlantic in an interview. 178 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 9: All of this to say, arguments, argument events for a debate, 179 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 9: a debate to be held in the House and Senate 180 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 9: by the people's elected representatives to authorize a strike. None 181 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 9: of that happened the way that it did more than 182 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 9: twenty years ago, in ahead of the engagements in Iraq 183 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 9: and Afghanistan. That's the way the law creates a framework 184 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 9: for these things, the way the American tradition has it, 185 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 9: where these things are debated before American blood and treasures 186 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 9: put on the line, and that is one of the 187 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 9: main reasons why you're going to see to some extent 188 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 9: a bipartisan show in the House and Senate this week 189 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 9: with the votes on these war powers resolutions. But practically, pragmatically, legally, constitutionally, 190 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 9: there really isn't anything at this stage the Congress can 191 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 9: do because the Article two says the president's commander in chief, 192 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 9: no White House, dating back to Richard Nixon, has recognized 193 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 9: the constitutionality of the War Powers resolution, and there's very 194 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 9: little that elected representatives can do when the president sends 195 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 9: in the US military. 196 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: All right, Stephen portnite. As always, I have so many 197 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: more questions for you, but we're out of time for 198 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: this morning. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you so 199 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: much for the info you back. All right. I do 200 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: find it interesting, and again whether you agree with it 201 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: or don't agree with it, but that when President Obama 202 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: was in office, he attacked Libya and Syria and other 203 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: countries without congressional approval. So I'm curious as to how 204 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: this is different. And when Obama did that, the Republicans 205 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: went berserk and said, you can't do that, And so 206 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: it's interesting now that Trump goes in and does it, 207 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: and the other side is saying, you can't do that. 208 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: What can they do? We shall see. President Trump's supposed 209 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: to be meeting with the Congress today, so we'll keep 210 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: an eye on that and let you know what happens. 211 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 212 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Six US service 213 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: members have now been killed in Operation Epic Fury. Several 214 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: others have been seriously hurt almost twenty The US and 215 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Israel began major combat operations against Iran Saturday. The death 216 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: all went up yesterday when two American service members who 217 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: were missing were confirmed killed. American forces recovered their remains 218 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: from a facility that had been struck by Iran. US 219 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: military leaders say the mission in Iran is to target 220 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear capabilities. ABC's and Flaherty says that's despite claims 221 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: back in June that Operation Midnight Hammer had obliterated them. 222 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: They believe that if they can take out those launchers, 223 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: they're also taking out arsenals. US intelligence has estimates of 224 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: how many ballistic missiles Iran has, but they don't know 225 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: what they don't know. President Trump says the mission could 226 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: last four weeks. The oil industry is getting ready for 227 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: a possible blockade in response to the US and Israel 228 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: attacking Iran. ABC's James Longman says a vital shipping lane 229 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: is expected to be the focus of any action. 230 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 5: With oil prices jumping. 231 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Iran warned it will set fire to any ship that 232 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: tries to pass through the Strait of whole moves. Twenty 233 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: percent of the world's oil and gas passes through the 234 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz. The House Oversight Committee's released video of 235 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: Bill and Hillary Clinton's depositions in the panel's investigation of 236 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. The former Democratic President distanced himself from Epstein. 237 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: Last week, Hillary Clinton repeatedly told the committee that she 238 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: never even met Epstein. A Triceratops fossil that's been on 239 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: display at a museum in Wyoming for decades will be 240 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: auctioned off next month. You could have a Triceratops in 241 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: your house. Bidding on Trey the Triceratops opens March seventeenth. 242 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: It's expected to fetch anywhere from four and a half 243 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: to five and a half million dollars. Paleontologist Andrew Luhan, 244 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: who worked with the online auction platform Jupiter to prepare 245 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: the fossil. Says, what's unique about this sale is that 246 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: Trey has always been on loan to a museum. 247 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: As a natural history object. 248 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 9: It's really amazing because it's a dinosaur skeleton, but it 249 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 9: also has this cultural aspect that a lot of fossils 250 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 9: that go to auction these days just simply don't have. 251 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: The Triceratops is more than sixty six million years old 252 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: and was discovered in nineteen ninety three near Lusk, Wyoming. 253 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 6: I always liked the Triceratops. 254 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nettanyahu has praised the collaboration with 255 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: President Trump to take out Iran's nuclear capability, missiles and navy. 256 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: Netanyahu said he has tried unsuccessfully to persuade past US 257 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: presidents to take action against Iran. Netanyaho says that while 258 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: some said this will be an endless war, it will 259 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: not be and will usher in an era of peace. 260 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: The US Supreme Court has blocked California school policies that 261 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: prohibit teachers from sharing a student's preferred gender identity with 262 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: their parents. It's a ruling that stem from a lawsuit 263 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: originally filed by two middle school teachers in Escondido. In 264 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: its six to three ruling, the Supreme Court wrote, these 265 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: policies likely violate parents' rights to direct the upbringing and 266 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: education of their chi. Totality is over, but you still 267 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: might be able to get a glimpse of last night's 268 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: lunar eclipse or this morning's lunar eclipse. The moon passed 269 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: through the Earth's shadow. Overnight totality was at three h four. 270 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: This morning the eclipse ends at six twenty five. Of course, 271 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: cloud covers not helping at all, but if it breaks, 272 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: you might get a little glimpse of the slice of 273 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: the moon going dark. Have you ever seen a total eclipse, 274 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: total lunar eclipse? 275 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's cool. 276 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: When the blood moon. 277 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 8: You can just kind of see the edge of it, 278 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 8: you know. 279 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: It's yes. 280 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: Okay, do we have Jordana on the line. We don't, 281 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: and can you jump in and help us. Jordana is 282 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: in Jerusalem, and connecting with her is challenging because, as 283 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: you've heard, since the US launched its attacks, actually there, 284 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: she looks like she's calling in on the hotline that 285 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: they've She spent a lot of time in a bomb 286 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: shelter because Theirana has been bombing of Jesus out of 287 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: or trying to of Israel. She's there. Okay, great, let's 288 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Jodonna Miller in Jerusalem. 289 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Good morning to your. 290 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 10: Good morning. You've had few Yeah, we've had fewer waves 291 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 10: of Iranian strikes today. Last night, for the first time, 292 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 10: we were able to actually sleep through the night, though 293 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 10: that that's just Jerusalem. Most of the country were in 294 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 10: shelters at about one am, and thankfully today there there's 295 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 10: been some debris in shrapnel, but no fatalities to know 296 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 10: today here in Israel, as you as you know, the 297 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 10: war continues to really metastaze through the region. Ron using drones, 298 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 10: which is really one of its most i would say 299 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 10: pernicious weapons that it has on the US embassy in 300 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 10: Riad in Saudi Arabia and also hitting oil fields oil 301 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 10: facilities there as well. You can see the Iranians are 302 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 10: trying to obviously create some kind of economic havoc with 303 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 10: the oil markets, and they've also threatened last night, Iranian 304 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 10: leaders threatened to attack any oz So you know that's 305 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 10: an important obviously gateway. Twenty to thirty percent of the 306 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 10: global oil goes through there. 307 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: You had dropped out for just a second. You're saying 308 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: that Iran had threatened to attack any ships trying to 309 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: pass through the straight uformos. 310 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 10: That's right, Okay, that's right. That's what they threatened to 311 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 10: do last night. They have not followed through with that today. 312 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 10: We understand they've let Chinese Chinese shipping go through, but 313 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 10: it's a question if other vessels will try to get 314 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 10: through weight because now they could come under attack, right, 315 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 10: which was different than what the Iranians said a few 316 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 10: days ago. 317 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: What were they saying a few days ago? 318 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 10: A few days ago, they just said they were going 319 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 10: to close rights, but they weren't really able to do that, right, 320 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 10: So this is a bigger threat, okay. 321 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: And as part of the reason that they can't really 322 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: close the straight because we have taken out so many 323 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: of Iran's navy ships. 324 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 10: That's right, that's right. Sen Com posted, you know that 325 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 10: footage showing and a statement saying that the United States 326 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 10: has taken out all eleven naval vessels that were there 327 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 10: around in and around the Strait of Hormuz. So that's 328 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 10: why Sencom pushed back and said, you know, the Iranians 329 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 10: closed it, but they haven't really been able to enforce that. Well, 330 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 10: now they're saying they will fire on vessels that try 331 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 10: to go through. 332 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: Okay, So Jordan, I have a logistical question. If they're 333 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: saying that they would fire on ships that are trying 334 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: to go through, where would would they be firing from 335 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: deep inside Iran or do they have like missile batteries 336 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: set up right along the you know, along the shoreline, 337 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: or do we know where those attacks would come from. 338 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 10: Well, they have surface to air missiles short and long range, 339 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 10: and they have drones, which they can, you know they can. 340 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 10: Drones are quite accurate and they're hard to detect. So 341 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 10: they could swarm a vessel with a drone beside drones 342 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 10: on a vessel. So that's one form of attack, okay. 343 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: And then the other development that we've got out of 344 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: the Middle East is that Americans are being worn to 345 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: just leave the area. Right. 346 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 10: The State Department essentially as all Americans to leave about 347 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 10: fifteen countries here in the region, right, Saudi Arabia, Baha Rain, 348 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 10: the UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories, right, saying 349 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 10: that you know there there's immediate danger. And I think 350 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 10: that's because we're going to see this conflict go on 351 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 10: for several weeks. And the United States is you know, 352 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 10: doesn't you know, want to protect any civilians or tourists 353 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 10: that are that are there, and they're telling them to 354 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 10: get out as soon as they can. The question is, 355 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 10: you know, it's how are they going to do that? 356 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 10: It's going to be it'll be difficult, even here in Israel, 357 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 10: where the winds of war were blowing for a long time. 358 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 10: Once the US embassy said leave, there aren't a lot 359 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 10: of ways to get out, right. There are land crossings 360 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 10: through Jordan. Some people are paying a lot of money 361 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 10: to go on vessels, to go on boats to Cyprus, 362 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 10: but you can't can't fly out of Tel Aviv, right, 363 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 10: can't fly out of Ben Gurion because it's closed. 364 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: And then I wanted to ask you, and I don't 365 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: know if you know this information, but the six US 366 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: service members who have been killed, they just confirmed that 367 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: two more had died.

As things continue to unfold 503 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 5: in the Middle East, and it really becomes increasingly apparent 504 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 5: that this is not just a short weekend type of conflict. 505 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 5: We've got falling debris from an intercepted drone causing a 506 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 5: major fire at a UAE oil trading hub of Fujira 507 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 5: that is not helping. Stock futures are sharply lowering me. 508 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 5: This could all change on a dime, though, because the 509 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 5: oil market could suddenly become a little bit more stable. 510 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 5: Bloomberg has learned the Internet Energy Agency is apparently ready 511 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 5: to help stabilize the global oil market by releasing some 512 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 5: of the more than billion barrels of oil that member 513 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 5: countries hold, and they're also trying some workarounds to avoid 514 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 5: the Strait of Horror moves with oil shippers maybe using 515 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 5: the Red Sea instead. So this could calm down a 516 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 5: little bit in terms of the oil market, though certainly 517 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 5: not going away. 518 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: Okay, So my question is has the oil market actually 519 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: been affected or is it because people are worried it's 520 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: going to be affected. 521 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 5: The oil market is actually affected because there's basically no 522 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 5: shipping through the Strait of Horror moves right now, and 523 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 5: that is not going to get better as long as 524 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 5: the fighting continues. And here's why a lot of the 525 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 5: reinsurers have said they're just not going to ensure these 526 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 5: shipments at all starting Thursday. So even if someone does 527 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 5: try to get through, the cost of just getting the 528 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 5: container through, if it did make it through, would be 529 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 5: so huge it would base make it just impossible to 530 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 5: do business that way. And then of course the containers themselves, 531 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 5: they're costing a lot more because a lot of them 532 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 5: are just tied up right now, meaning less are available 533 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 5: to come to port. So you get this like multi 534 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 5: layered bottleneck that turns into this INCREDITI you know, this 535 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 5: incredible feedback loop where prices just go higher and higher. 536 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: Okay, we'll definitely be watching that. 537 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 6: There's yeah, there is oil though. 538 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 5: I mean certainly the US has oil, and there's a 539 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,719 Speaker 5: lot of oil globally to your point, to some extent, 540 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 5: I guess you could say. 541 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 6: A little bit is psychological. 542 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 5: But when you start seeing shipping bottleneck like that, you 543 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 5: know there's a big problem. 544 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, looking for a place to get botox. 545 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: There's a new way to do it. 546 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 6: I mean, this is this was kind of shocking for me. H. 547 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 5: Planned Parenthood, according to the Wall Street Journal, is overhauling 548 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 5: its business model and they're offering new services now, including 549 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 5: botox and IVY high dration, to get revenue and subsidize 550 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 5: their healthcare services. You know, they face a huge revenue 551 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 5: gap because of all the cuts in federal Medicaid reimbursements, 552 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 5: and also they're somewhat controversial anyway these days, and the 553 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 5: news services also include pain relief and you know kind 554 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 5: of things that people normally get at med spas. Botox 555 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 5: available apparently, according to the report, for nine dollars per unit. 556 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 5: Ivy hydration bags for one hundred and two hundred and 557 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 5: fifty dollars. So for people looking for that, there's something 558 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 5: to consider. 559 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: Is Ivy hydration Is that for people who have a hangover? 560 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 5: I think it is a great idea, and amy if 561 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 5: they're not offering it for that, you should start a 562 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 5: business and consider marketing it because that is certainly better 563 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 5: than trying to drink tomato juice. 564 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: Oh, I haven't heard of tomato juice for a hangover? Okay, 565 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: Claude and chat gpt are duking it out. 566 00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 567 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 5: Topic is now offering a feature for free. It's had 568 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 5: this feature, but now for free, it lets its artificial 569 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 5: intelligence chatbot Claude recall context across conversations as it tries 570 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 5: to up the competition with rival chat gpt and really 571 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 5: kind of hang on to all the new users it's 572 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 5: gotten over the past week. 573 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 6: They have seen. 574 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 5: Anthropic that has seen a huge increase in attention for 575 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 5: its consumer products since its clash with the Defense Department, 576 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 5: where it basically stood up to the Defense Department and said, 577 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 5: we don't want you to use our AI features for 578 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 5: certain things like surveilling Americans and a lot of people 579 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 5: switched from chat GPT to Claude. Because of this, President 580 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 5: Trump ordered the US government to remove claud from their systems, 581 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 5: but people are flocking to it, like I said, and 582 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 5: they think if they offer this for free, they can 583 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,479 Speaker 5: keep some of those users steal them away from chat GPT. 584 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: Okay, we have a warning. If you're married or have 585 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: a partner, you need to share your passwords. How come? 586 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 5: Okay, so this is obviously really sensitive. And I don't 587 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 5: know if you're on Reddit or if you just lurk 588 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 5: on Reddit, but if you do, like basically almost every couple, 589 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 5: young couple in the modern age has this moment when 590 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 5: they realize their spouse is like liking some photo that 591 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 5: they think is a little risque, or maybe stalking an. 592 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 6: Old lover or girlfriend, boyfriend whatever. 593 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 5: And you know, this begets this whole question about what 594 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 5: is privacy, what is cheating? And should I share my passwords? Well, 595 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 5: the problem is, especially if you're in one of those 596 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 5: couples where the labor is divided and one takes care 597 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 5: of the finances and the other doesn't. The problem is 598 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 5: that then if something happens to one, even on a 599 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 5: temporary basis, like someone gets in a car accident and 600 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 5: they're not able to do their normal things for a 601 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 5: month or two. The other one has no idea how 602 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 5: to pay the bills if it's not on autopay where 603 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 5: it comes from, and they call the bank or they 604 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 5: try to move stuff around and they find out they're 605 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 5: not authorized. So a lot of new reports know advising 606 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 5: couples to sit down and do a drill, you know, 607 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 5: once a year where you pretend something happens to one 608 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 5: person and the couple and the other one takes care 609 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 5: of everything and really mentor them and make sure not 610 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 5: only are they on these accounts, but they're actually like 611 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 5: authorized to do things on those accounts Otherwise, you know, 612 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 5: all this sort of guarded secrecy over you know, our 613 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 5: texts and everything can really hurt couples, all right. 614 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: Something to keep in mimentarily getting in your business like 615 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: we do every day with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegriney. Thanks Denise, 616 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: all right, And the average price for a gallon of 617 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: gas jumped eleven cents overnight to about three eleven a 618 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: gallon in the US. We're just talking to Denise Pelgriney 619 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: about this.

A young girl and a woman were also injured. 624 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Before noon yesterday, and Southwest Airlines says it's refining its 625 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: new seating policy. The airlines announcement follows a lot of 626 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: complaints from customers. Changes include plans to upgrade the majority 627 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: of its aircraft's cabins with larger overhyd overhead bins. And 628 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: so many poor people are carrying on now that they're 629 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: charging for luggage.

Okay, So, Billy Ray, let's talk 649 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: about before we jump into your new book. I wanted 650 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: to acknowledge your past accomplishments in case people aren't familiar. 651 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: So you're a Writer's Guild Award and OSCAR nominated man 652 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: for your screenplay Captain Phillips, which was a fabulous, fabulous movie. 653 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: Past works as a writer or writer director include The 654 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: Hunger Games and The upcoming Sunrise on the Reaping, which 655 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm reading now. Love those books. So you have some 656 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: criends here. 657 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 5: So tell me. 658 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: Then you've gone from screenwriting to now you're writing a book, 659 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: and you know kind of doing it the opposite way. 660 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: So why do this? 661 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 4: Well, this is an idea that I had had for 662 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 4: fifteen years and it had always been sort of kicking 663 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 4: around the back of my head. I thought of Burning 664 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 4: the Water as a movie first, and I thought of 665 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 4: Burned the Water as a TV series, but it was 666 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 4: just too expensive either of those formats. And then, if 667 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 4: you remember, in twenty twenty three, my beloved guild, the 668 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 4: Writers Guild, went on strike, and all of a sudden, 669 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 4: I couldn't write a TV show or a movie. And 670 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 4: I thought, oh, what if we turned this idea into 671 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 4: a novel that I can do? And I started on 672 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 4: day one of the Writer's Guild strike and I finished 673 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 4: on the last day of the sag after strike. 674 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 3: So it took one hundred and thirty three days to write, 675 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 3: and then you know, it takes a year to make 676 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 3: it good after that. And then I went into the 677 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 3: world of publishing to see if there was anyone there 678 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 3: that would be interested, and it turns out I got 679 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 3: the best publishing house there is, which is Scholastic, and 680 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: now we publish today. 681 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: Also, the book is releasing today today. That's great. Oh, 682 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 1: then I have an advanced copy. I feel very special. 683 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: Thing is it harder to write a book or a screenplay? 684 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 4: Well, I'm certainly more familiar with writing screenplays. But what 685 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 4: makes a book good is different than what makes what 686 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 4: makes a screenplay good. And I had to learn that 687 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 4: interwards in screenwriting you're trying to be so lean and 688 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 4: so spare. 689 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 3: And so muscular in the way you write. But when 690 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 3: you when you write a novel, as I learned, you're 691 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 3: the camera, you're the actor's faces, you're the production desy. 692 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 3: You have to fill in all that stuff and you 693 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 3: don't have to do that in a screenplay. And matter 694 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 3: of fact, that you do, it's it's it's boring, right because. 695 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: You're letting the pictures tell the story in a screenplay exactly. 696 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: And with this there you've got to paint the picture 697 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: in a book exactly. 698 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 3: Okay, cool, But once that lesson is never goes away. 699 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: Okay. So I didn't get the book. I have full transparency. 700 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: I didn't get it until yesterday, so I haven't read 701 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: all of it. But I'm about halfway through, so it's 702 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: a good read and I cannot wait to see what 703 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: happens with Jewel and Rief, which are your main characters. 704 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: But tell us a little give us a little preview 705 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: of this since it's just released today. Tell us what 706 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: tell us wake up call people, you know, something enticing 707 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: that's going to want us, make us want to read it. 708 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 3: Well. 709 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 4: Picture the London of the Year twenty four twenty five 710 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 4: and there's no power, there's no communications, there's no connection 711 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 4: to the rest of the world, because ninety percent of 712 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 4: the English Isle is underwater, as is most of the world. 713 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 4: And we, in a weird way, have gone. 714 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 3: Back to medieval lifestyles, except we have the modern London 715 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 3: of today is still standic. So you have buildings covered 716 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 3: in vines, and the water level in London is sixty 717 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 3: higher than it is now, and you have two rival 718 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 3: gangs essentially. 719 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 4: Killing each other for the ten percent of dry land 720 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 4: and in London that's livable. And in that war, which 721 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 4: has gone on for a hundreds of years, you know, 722 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 4: with knives and maize at clubs. The greatest soldier on 723 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 4: one side, the Rogues, is a captain named Rafe, and 724 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 4: the greatest soldier on the other side, the Crowns, is 725 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 4: a captain named Jewel. And what would happened if they 726 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 4: fell in love? Could they stop this war? That's what 727 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 4: the book's about. 728 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a Romeo and Juliet meets 729 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: the Hunger Games kind of scenario. 730 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 3: If you're going to steal, steal from the best. 731 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: Well, like I said, I haven't read the whole thing 732 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: I've read about half of it and it is really interesting, 733 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: and with Rafe and Jewel, who are the main characters, 734 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: it's fun to read about talking about painting the pictures. 735 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: It's fun to read about like that first love, that 736 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 1: first moment when you see somebody, because the whole premise 737 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: of the book is that these sworn and are going 738 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: to meet and fall in love. And like how you 739 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: describe that feeling when you first meet somebody, and I 740 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: think you do such a good job with that. So 741 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 1: I love your explanation too of the difference between the 742 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: screenwriter and a book writer, because I think it really 743 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: Thank you helps paint a good picture for us. But 744 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what happens with Jewel and Rape. 745 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: The story's really getting goods and it's an interesting setting. 746 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: You know, three hundred years or I guess four hundred 747 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: years ahead of where we are.
