It was beautiful the moon. 16 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: I woke up this morning and it looked like somebody 17 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: was shining a spotlight into my apartment. I was like, ooh, 18 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: it's almost a full moon. It's actually full tomorrow morning 19 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: and a warning for you. So I was driving in 20 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: this morning and there's nobody on the road, so it's 21 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: you know, very few cars, but there was a car 22 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: pulled over, had his flashing lights on, and I was like, okay. 23 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: And so they're on the right hand side of the 24 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: road and I'm on the far in the far left 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: or a far right hand lane, right, so I'm kind 26 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: of whizzing right by him. And the guy was on 27 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: his phone outside of his car on the driver's side, 28 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: which means that you're very very close to trouble. 29 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: Yep. 30 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure he's okay, but I just it made 31 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: me very nervous because I was like, you know, once 32 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: traffic increases and it just takes a second, you know, 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: take your hand off the wheel or something like that. 34 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: Just if you do have to get out of your car, 35 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: I would suggest any way that you go on the 36 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: far side of the car, farther away from traffic. That's 37 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: just me because we want you to get wherever you're 38 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: going safely. This morning, I got away from the cars. Day, 39 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: away from the cars. Okay, here's what's ahead on wake 40 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: up call. The US and Israel have continued to pound 41 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: targets across Iran, dropping massive bombs on the country's ballistic 42 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: missile sites and wiping out warships part of an intensifying 43 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: military campaign following the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatola Hamini. 44 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: Military bases around the US have been placed on high 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: alert as the attack on Iran continues. The LAPD and 46 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: La County Sheriff's Department have increased security around place is 47 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: of warship, cultural centers, and other locations, although they do 48 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: say there have been no specific credible threats. It's not 49 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: only Iran under attack. Israel launched a barrage of strikes 50 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: on Lebanon's capital, Beirut, after the Lebanese military group Hesblah 51 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: fired missiles across the border. Hesbelah said in a statement 52 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: the strikes were carried out in retaliation for the killing 53 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: of Iran's supreme leader and for repeated Israeli aggressions. Secretary 54 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: of War Pete Hegseth is going to be speaking any 55 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: time at the Pentagon, expected to brief the press starting 56 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: at five. It hasn't started yet. We will monitor that 57 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: and bring you any new information. We're going to dig 58 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: into the US and Israeli attacks on Iran over the weekend, 59 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: dubbed Operation Epic Fury. What's happening now? How US lawmakers 60 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: are reacting to it and how those attacks on both 61 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: sides are different than those in the past. We'll talk 62 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: to ABC Sjerdana Miller, who spent much of our weekend 63 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: in a bunker in Jerusalem, ABC Stephen Portnoy, and futurist 64 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Sirelli. That's all coming up. Also a quick look 65 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: at the Actor Awards which went on last night in Hollywood, 66 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: Hits Missus and why it might be my favorite of 67 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: all the awards shows. I'll tell you about that coming up. 68 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 69 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Usually Pete Hegsteth 70 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: is starting right now. We're gonna go ahead and dip 71 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: into that real quick. See what he has to say. 72 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: Bud of our people, car bombs in Beirut, rocket attacks 73 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: on our ships, murders at our embassy's, roadside bombs in 74 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 4: Iraq and Afghanistan, funded and armed by Iranian the KOD's 75 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: force and IRGC killers. My generation of veterans carry the 76 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 4: names of brothers who never came home, Brothers butchered by 77 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 4: Iranian backed roadside bombs and well armed militias, thousands of 78 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: our own. We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, 79 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 4: we are finishing it. Their war on Americans has become 80 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 4: our retribution against their Ayatola and his death cult. 81 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: It took the. 82 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: Forty seventh president, a fighter who always puts America first, 83 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 4: to finally draw the line after forty seven years of 84 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 4: Iranian belligerents. He reminded the world, as he has time 85 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 4: and time again, being an American means something unbreakable. If 86 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 4: you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, 87 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 4: we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, 88 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 4: and we will kill you. President Trump has also been 89 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: very consistent. Crazy regimes like Iran, hell bent on prophetic 90 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: Islamist delusions, cannot have nuclear weapons. It's common sense, many 91 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 4: have said it, but it takes guts to actually enforce it, 92 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 4: and our president has guts. Iran's stubborn and self evident 93 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 4: nuclear pursuits, their targeting of global shipping lanes, and their 94 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: swelling arsenal of ballistic missiles and killer drones were no 95 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 4: longer are no longer tolerable risks. Iran was building powerful 96 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 4: missiles and drones to create a conventional shield for their 97 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: nuclear black mail ambitions. Let me say that again, a 98 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: conventional shield for their nuclear blackmail ambitions. Our bases, our people, 99 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 4: our allies, all in their crosshairs. Iran had a conventional 100 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 4: gun to our head as they tried to lie their 101 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: way to a nuclear bomb. It almost worked under Obama 102 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: and his terrible deal, but not under this president. Turns out, 103 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 4: the regime who chanted death to America and death to 104 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 4: Israel was gifted death from America and death from Israel. 105 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: This is not a so called regime change war, but 106 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 4: the regime sure did change and the world is better 107 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: off for it today. In their desperation, the enemy is 108 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: unmasked as Iranian missiles and drones rained down indiscriminately on 109 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: the hotels, airports, apartments, and other civilian targets of their neighbors. 110 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 4: Cowardly terrorist tactics from a regime that for decades has 111 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 4: trafficked in cowardly terrorist tactics lies, death and destruction. To 112 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: this day, the Iranian leadership has built nothing except proxies 113 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: and missiles and drones and deeply buried nuclear factories and facilities. 114 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: Peaceful nuclear ambitions do not need to be buried underneath mountains. 115 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 4: Last June, Operation Midnight Hammer obliterated their nuclear program to rubble. Afterward, 116 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 4: we told them plainly, that's it. Now make a deal. 117 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 4: They arrogantly refused. We said, rebuild it, and we'll stop 118 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 4: you again, this time far worse. Well, President Trump, Secretary 119 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: of Rubio, Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner, they bent over backwards 120 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 4: for real diplomacy, offering pathway after pathway to peace. I 121 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: watched it. 122 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: I was there. 123 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: They tried, over and over and over again, earnest attempts 124 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 4: at peace. The former regime had every chance to make 125 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: a peaceful and sensible deal, but Taran was not negotiating. 126 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: They were stalling, buying time to reload their missile stockpiles 127 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 4: and restart their nuclear ambitions. Their goal hold US hostage, 128 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: threatening to strike our forces. Well, President Trump doesn't play 129 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 4: those games. And as Secretary Rubio said after the Maduro raid, 130 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 4: if you don't know, now you know. President Trump puts 131 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: America and Americans first. He doesn't hesitate, and neither do 132 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 4: our troops. The mission of Operation Epic Fury is laser focused. 133 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their 134 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: navy and other security infrastructure, and they will never have 135 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. We're hitting them surgically, overwhelmingly and unapologetically. With 136 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: every passing day, our capabilities get stronger and Iran's get weaker. 137 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: We set the terms of this war from start to finish. 138 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 4: Our ambitions are not utopian. They are realistic, scoped to 139 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: our interests and the defense of our people and our allies. 140 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 4: Speaking of people, we hope the Iranian people take advantage 141 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 4: of this incredible opportunity. President Trump has been clear, now 142 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 4: is your time to Iranian security forces, choose wisely. President 143 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 4: Trump has also been clear about your fate in either direction. 144 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 4: To the media outlets and political left screaming endless wars, stop, 145 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 4: this is not a raq, This is not endless. I 146 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 4: was there for both. Our generation knows better, and so 147 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 4: does this President. He called the last twenty years of 148 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: nation building wars dumb, and he's right. This is the opposite. 149 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission. Destroy the 150 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 4: missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. Israel has clear 151 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: missions as well, for which we are grateful capable partners. 152 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 4: As we've said since the beginning, capable partners are good partners, 153 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: Unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their 154 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 4: hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the 155 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: use of force. America, regardless of what so called international 156 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: institutions say, is unleashing the most lethal and precise air 157 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: power campaign in history, B two s, fighters, drones, missiles, 158 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 4: and of course classified effects, all on our terms, with 159 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 4: maximum authorities. No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, 160 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight 161 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 4: to win, and we don't waste time or lives. As 162 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: the President warned, an effort of this scope will include casualties, 163 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 4: war as hell and always will be. A grateful nation 164 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: honors the four Americans we have lost thus far and 165 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 4: those injured the absolute best of America.

To 248 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 5: be clear, as the Secretary said, this is not a 249 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 5: single overnight operation. The military objectives at Sencom and the 250 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 5: Joint Force have been tasked with will take some time 251 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 5: to achieve and in some cases will be difficult and 252 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 5: gritty work. We expect to take additional losses, and as always, 253 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 5: we will work to minimize US losses. But as the 254 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 5: Secretary said, this is major combat operations, so let me 255 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 5: talk about the preparation and the planning. On February twenty eighth, 256 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 5: the full strength of America's armed forces came together in 257 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 5: a unified purpose against a capable and determined adversary. 258 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 3: The United States. 259 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 5: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coastguard, and 260 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 5: our reserve components integrated our cross our combatant commands and 261 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 5: began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of an 262 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 5: unprecedented scale. As the Secretary laid out, our military objectives 263 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 5: are clear. Our mission is to protect and defend ourselves and, 264 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 5: together with our regional partners, prevent AARAN from the ability 265 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 5: to project power outside of its borders, and be ready 266 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 5: for follow on actions as appropriate. Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, 267 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 5: the US Joint Force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed 268 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 5: to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran's ability to conduct 269 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 5: and sustain combat operations. 270 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: On the US side, this. 271 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 5: Marked the culmination of months and in some cases, years, 272 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 5: of deliberate planning and refinement against this particular target set. 273 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 5: From precision strikes against key military infrastructure, to persistent intelligence 274 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 5: and targeting integration, to the close coordination of the components 275 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 5: across vast distances, this operation again demonstrated America's reach, readiness, 276 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 5: and professionalism and that of our joint United Force. It 277 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 5: was historic not only in the operational scope, but in 278 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 5: the level of joint integration displayed across every element of 279 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 5: the Joint Force. And as I said earlier, this work 280 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 5: is just beginning and will continue. So now to talk 281 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 5: a little bit about setting the force and setting the theater. 282 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 5: On the order of the Secretary of War, over the 283 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 5: last thirty days, to reinforce deterrents and provide the President 284 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 5: with credible options should action be required, the Joint Force 285 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 5: began to systematically reposition assets in personnel across the region. 286 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 5: These movements ensured that US forces remained postured, protected, and 287 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 5: ready to respond decisively for any emerging threat. This deployment 288 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 5: included thousands of service members from all branches, hundreds of 289 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 5: advanced fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of refueling tankers, 290 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 5: the Lincoln and Ford Carrier Strike Group and their embarked 291 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 5: air wings sustain flow of munitions, fuels applies, all supported 292 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 5: with command and control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network, and 293 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 5: the flow of forces continues today. In fact, Admiral Cooper 294 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 5: will receive additional forces even today. 295 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI.

The ship, her crew, their families, and 304 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 5: the entire Strike Group took a deep breath, and as 305 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 5: they always do, began planning to conduct combat operations. The 306 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: integrated Reserve and National Guard forces have continued to demonstrate 307 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 5: the value of America's reserve forces, including the westcar Wisconsin Army, 308 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 5: National Guard operating in Kuwait, and Rock and Air National 309 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 5: Guard units from a variety of states to include Vermont 310 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 5: and Virginia. 311 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to dip out of this now because 312 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to talk to Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. 313 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: Of course, Jerusalem has been under near constant attacks since 314 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: this whole thing started, so we wanted to talk to 315 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: Jordana get the opportunity.

When the Israeli Defense Minister alerted 323 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 6: citizens that Israel was in the middle of a major 324 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 6: strike against Iran. We only learned a short while after 325 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 6: that that there was actually a joint strike between right 326 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 6: between the US and Israel, and essentially we have been 327 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 6: under barrages waves of Iranian ballistic missiles that started just 328 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 6: a few hours after the US and Israel struck Tehran 329 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 6: and other parts of Iran.

Actually 332 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 6: not in my house, it's across the street. So I've 333 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 6: been taking my young children with the help of my nanny, 334 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 6: across the street and down into the bomb shelter, and 335 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 6: it's been, you know, exhausting and a bit frightening for them, 336 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 6: There's no doubt. I mean, my five and a half 337 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 6: year old is now properly like scared of the sirens. 338 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 6: And you know, once you're down there, you can still 339 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 6: hear the loud explosions of the interceptions happening above Jerusalem 340 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 6: or nearby in the West Bank. So it's not it's 341 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 6: not a lot of fun on the outside. On the upside, 342 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 6: there's neighbors down there, so that makes you know you're 343 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 6: all you're all in it together, right. 344 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 7: Misery likes company. 345 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jordana, so we know that you mentioned the interceptions, 346 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: that the missiles are being intercepted, but a couple have 347 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: gotten through and one landed in a residential area over 348 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: the weekend as well. 349 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 7: That's right. 350 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 6: There have been two major impact sites. One one happened 351 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 6: on Saturday on the first day outside of Tel Aviv 352 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 6: and that killed one person, and then yesterday one of 353 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 6: the missiles struck a residential area. It's really a suburb 354 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 6: of Jerusalem, though it's quite far out, it's about thirty 355 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 6: minutes from Jerusalem, and there ten people were killed. Some 356 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 6: of them were next to the shelter, but not inside, 357 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 6: somewhere near the entrance, and it just so happened that 358 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 6: this Iranian missile hit almost right next to the shelter, 359 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 6: and so a lot of those people, sadly, they were 360 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 6: trying to do the right thing, but they did not 361 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 6: they didn't survive. Overall, most of the missiles have been 362 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 6: shot down, and the Israeli Army estimates there have been 363 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 6: over one hundred and fifty ballistic missiles and then dozens 364 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 6: of other drones. We don't have an exact number yet. 365 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 6: Now Amy, that sounds like a big number, but actually, 366 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 6: given we're on day three, it's it's not. 367 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 7: A huge number. 368 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 6: In other words, the Israelis are saying that they're opening 369 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 6: strike with the United States was so successful that not 370 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 6: only did they kill Ayatola jome Nee and forty other 371 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 6: top Iranian leaders, but they were also able to hit 372 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 6: so many launching pads and silos where missiles were kept 373 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 6: that the reprisal strikes were not as heavy and intense. 374 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 6: And that even goes for the strikes that Iran has 375 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 6: mounted against Cutter Kuwait, the Saudis, the Amadis, right, the Iraqis, 376 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 6: and even they have flown drones over and tried to 377 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 6: attack British bases in Cyprus. 378 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 7: Now, so the. 379 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 6: Conflict has expanded, but the intensity of it would have 380 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 6: been a lot worse. That's what we're hearing from Israeli 381 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 6: military officials that it's going better than they thought it would. 382 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: Okay, and Jordana, then I had a question for you 383 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: about that. You're saying that Runner and UAE and stuff 384 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: like that, that Iran has just fired. It's like they 385 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: opened up their arsenal and said let's shoot at everybody. Wait, 386 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: what is the right the rationale behind that? Because those 387 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: are countries that didn't want to be involved in the conflict, 388 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: So why make them, you know, come to the US's side. 389 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like a rational decision. 390 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 6: Right, So the Iranians are aiming at the US bases 391 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 6: in Bahrain, like the Fifth Fleet in Kuwait in Jordan. Right, 392 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 6: the Americans have a huge we have a huge presence 393 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 6: here in the Middle East, a military presence, and even 394 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 6: though a lot of those bases were either evacuated or 395 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 6: the military assets were moved right, for example, the fifth Fleet, 396 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 6: there was almost no major ships docked at the fifth Fleet, right. Nonetheless, 397 00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 6: the Iranians tried to attack those those assets, and unfortunately 398 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 6: they did kill four US servicemen and they injured a 399 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 6: few dozen others, according to the US Defense Department. And 400 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 6: we just heard the Joint chiefs of Staff Kane to 401 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 6: Kane repeat that number of four servicemen. But you know, 402 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 6: Iran is making it. Already had a lot of enemies 403 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 6: in the region who did not did not agree with 404 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 6: Iran's fundamentalist, theocratic vision of a Slam. Now having come 405 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 6: under fire from Iran, a lot of those countries are saying, 406 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 6: you know, Iran is. 407 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 7: Going to pay for this. 408 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 6: Cutters upset, the Jordan's upset, The Amortis right, their officials 409 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 6: are putting out statements, the Saudis right. So you know, 410 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 6: will any of those countries strike back. They will probably 411 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 6: let the US and Israel lead this. But they are 412 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 6: certainly unhappy, and if need be, they seem to be 413 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 6: indicating they would be, you know, up for helping this 414 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 6: cause against Iran. 415 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: Okay, Jordannah Miller in Jerusalem, I know this is you know, 416 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: especially hard for you because you are there and having 417 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: to deal with all of the attacks and that kind 418 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: of thing. But we're glad to hear that you're safe, 419 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: and we will continue to check in with you, and 420 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: thank you for the update. We appreciate it. All right, right, 421 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: talk So okay, So I told you we were going 422 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: to do all kinds of other stuff and we kind 423 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: of got sidetracked on that. General Kin is still talking. 424 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: We're going to bring you what they're saying. There seem 425 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: to be a lot of platitudes, which happens so many 426 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: times when you jump into news conferences instead of just 427 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: getting right to the meat of it. Of course, we 428 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: have the press conference continuing at the Pentagon with Secretary 429 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: of War Pete Hegseth and General Kin, the head of 430 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will bring you updated information 431 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: on that. Basically, what heg Seth is saying is that 432 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: we are carrying this out on our terms, that Iran 433 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: had plenty of opportunity to make a deal and did not. 434 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: He said that the US is presenting the most lethal 435 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: and precise air strikes in history, and also said we 436 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: fight to win, we don't waste our time. He's basically 437 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: saying they're going in. They plan to accomplish the mission. 438 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: This is not Iraq, it is not endless. It's going 439 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: to take a little time, but they're going to go in, 440 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: destroy missiles, destroy Iran's navy, and the ultimate goal is 441 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: no nukes. Again, we are going to continue to follow 442 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: this for you on a lighter note, because I think 443 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: it's always important to have a lighter note in all 444 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: of this. It's national egg McMuffin Day. I know it's 445 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: going from one extreme to the other. But if you 446 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: get a McMuffin on their app today, producer and alerted 447 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: me to this, you can get an egg McMuffin for 448 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: a buck. Yeah, okay. So here are some of the 449 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: things that were following in the KFI twenty four hour 450 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: news from Britain, France and Germany now say they're ready 451 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: to work with the US to help stop Iran's attacks. 452 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: Europe has mostly stayed out of the war and has 453 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: pressed for diplomacy. British Prime Minister Kier Starmer says Britain 454 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: will allow US forces to use its bases now. Senegalese 455 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: national has been identified as the man who shot up 456 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: a popular beer garden early Sunday morning in Austin, Texas. 457 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: Images from the scene show the man wearing camo pants 458 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: and a hoodie with the words property of Allah on it. 459 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: Two people were killed, fourteen were injured. The man was 460 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: shot and killed by police following his rampage. A Chilean 461 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: burglary crew has captured themselves on video breaking into a 462 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: store and Seemi Valle and stealing about three million dollars 463 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: worth of jewelry. The Ventura County dias Office released the video. 464 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 1: One of the guys even flashed a peace sign at 465 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: the camera with a flashlight in his mouth while taking 466 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: a break from smashing a wall with a crowbar. All 467 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: four have now pleaded guilty. Three of them have been sentenced. 468 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: The fourth is scheduled to be sentenced at the end 469 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: of this month. Another thing that we took a break 470 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: from all of the goings on in Iran was for 471 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: the Actor Awards. Used to be the SAG Awards, now 472 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: they're the Actor Awards, and they were done last night 473 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And my favorite part of the awards show 474 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: is at the very beginning when they go around the 475 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: room and they do it like a quick monologue with 476 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: that ends with the actor saying their name and then 477 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: they say and I'm an actor. And one of the 478 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: people that they highlighted yesterday was Michael J. Fox, who's 479 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: now co starring or guest starring on Shrinking It. So 480 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: it's fun to see him. God love him. I mean, 481 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: he's just what a champion for a horrible disease and 482 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: showing how how you go on and you persevere and stuff. 483 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: So that was really great. I was great his son, 484 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: he was there with his son. Absolutely, the introduction was 485 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: really fun. Kristen Bell I think she did a great job. 486 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: And who knows she could sing, so she did a 487 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: great job. I think that one of the things they 488 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: don't like is because they're doing it on Netflix, they 489 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: don't have the same broadcast rules, and so everybody was 490 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: swearing and I was like, I don't think you need 491 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: to drop the F bomb during an award show. It's 492 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: just not classy. But that was like one of the 493 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: few downsides I saw. I like this award show because 494 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: they play clips of everything because it's all about the actors. 495 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: It's not you know, the producers in the cinematography and 496 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: all of the other stuff, which is also very important, 497 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: but it's just about the actors, so they played little 498 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: clips of all the actors. I think that that's fun, 499 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: and I will tell you that me and Hollywood do 500 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: not agree. I think I got two or three right 501 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: out of all of them. But the big winners were 502 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: the pit who won Best Ensemble in a Drama Series, 503 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: and then also Noah Wiley took home Best Actor. And 504 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: then on the comedy side for a series, The Studio won, 505 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: and then Seth Rogan won for his role in The 506 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: Studio Your Favorite. He's okay, it's just The Studio wasn't 507 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: my favorite show. I did like parts of it. And 508 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: then of course they posthumously gave Katherine O'Hara the famous 509 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: favorite female actor in a comedy series. Well deserved. What 510 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing actress. We miss her. And then the 511 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,919 Speaker 1: movie went to Sinners for the cast of Sinners. Again, 512 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that personally, but that's about yeah, 513 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: it's yeah. Anyway, if you didn't see this movie, this show, 514 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: and you maybe want to look at a ward show, 515 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: you can go and you can fast forward through parts 516 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: of it. But you know, the the gown and the 517 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: pomp and the circumstances and everybody dressed up. I think 518 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: that that's all a lot of fun and I like this. 519 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: I do like this award show because, like I said, 520 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: they show at they show clips of all the actors, 521 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: and I think that they, you know, they have fun 522 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: with it. It's a little more personal than some of 523 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: the other shows, which is one of the things that 524 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: I like about it. All Right, let's get in your business, 525 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: because well there's a lot of business to get to 526 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: say good morning to Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. So, Denise, with 527 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: everything that happened with the US in Iran this weekend, 528 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: I would imagine that investors are a little shaken up. 529 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, and Amy, You're so right, And it's not just 530 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 8: because of the war. I mean, you remember last week's 531 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 8: talks plunged on all the worries about AI and the 532 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 8: impact on the economy. But now investors are catastrophizing about inflation. 533 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 8: We've got stock futures absolutely plunging this morning. Dow futures, 534 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 8: for example, down more than five hundred points. Big worry 535 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 8: is oil prices. Nimax crewede Amy up more than eight 536 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 8: percent right now, Brent crewed at one point skyrocketing thirteen percent. 537 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 8: Natural gas prices in Europe. I look this morning, they 538 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 8: are up forty five percent. If this lasts, and I'm 539 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 8: not saying it will or won't, but if it does, 540 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 8: it really just triggers new inflation concerns, and that's got 541 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 8: a lot of people panicking this morning. Not to mention 542 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 8: Amazon Web Services suffering that disruption when unidentified objects struck 543 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 8: one of its data centers in the UAE, causing a fire. 544 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 8: So you know, just there's no immunity here to what's happening. Yeah, 545 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 8: don't mess with Amazon. 546 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: That's the that's the big Okay, So let's talk about 547 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: some other business ye stuff. We know that it's especially 548 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: in California, almost impossible to buy a new home if 549 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of money for down payments 550 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: or you don't have a lot of cash. But there 551 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: is a way you can get a home. 552 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, the big thing is that a lot 553 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 8: of people just borrow from the bank of mom and 554 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 8: dad for that down payment. But the actual way that 555 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 8: a lot of people, a growing number of people as 556 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 8: a matter of fact, are actually getting homes is by 557 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 8: inheriting them. It is becoming one of the main ways, 558 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 8: as a matter of fact, that people are becoming first 559 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 8: time home buyers. Apparently, almost twenty percent of all property 560 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 8: transfers in California last year came via inheritance. Of course, 561 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 8: it's not only the high price tax policies in California, 562 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 8: as you talk about, a lot encourage people to avoid selling. 563 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: Getting harder to find remote work seems like more of 564 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: us are back at the office. 565 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 8: Yeah, if you're looking for work from home, turns out 566 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 8: the chances of finding one, shall we say remote. Wall 567 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 8: Street Journal says work from home jobs are four times 568 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 8: harder to get than other jobs. That's according to analysis 569 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 8: by job hired dot AI. I think as people really 570 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 8: got a taste of work from home during the pandemic, 571 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 8: they love it, and now the competition is intense and 572 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 8: apparently one other thing to remember if you do manage 573 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 8: to get a work from home offer, be ready for 574 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 8: a cost of living adjustment. You know, the old days 575 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 8: when you used to be able to collect a New 576 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 8: York or LA salary and live somewhere remote, you know, 577 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 8: like Birmingham, Alabama or New Mexico. 578 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: Those days are gone. Yeah. Well, I know a lot 579 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: of friends that I knew who were working at home 580 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: when they were told they needed to go back or 581 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: that was no longer an option. They're like, well, I 582 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: don't get it. Well, why should I have to do that. 583 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, because that's how you work. It's so 584 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: interesting how everybody's not everybody, but a lot of people's 585 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: mentality is about going to work. Really, it's like hardcore changed. 586 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's hard to take things away from people once 587 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 8: you give it to them. 588 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: That is true. Okay, we got thirty seconds. We got 589 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: a new bargain breakfast offer today only. 590 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. 591 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 8: It's National Egg McMuffin Day today. McDonald's offering a dollar 592 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 8: egg or sausage McMuffin as long as you order through 593 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 8: the app. And it's amazing amy this egg McMuffin. It 594 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 8: was brought into the world forty five years ago, nineteen 595 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 8: seventy one. I can't believe it's been with us that 596 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 8: longs are so good. Do you love a good egg McMuffin? 597 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: Getting in your business as we do every morning with 598 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrinny. Thanks Denise. We'll talk to you tomorrow. 599 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: Talk to you tomorrow. President Trump says he is open 600 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: to dialogue with Iran's new leadership, he said yesterday in 601 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,919 Speaker 1: his words, they want to talk. I've agreed to talk, 602 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: so I'll be talking to them. Iran has continued to 603 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: retaliate against the US and Israeli attacks, firing missiles and 604 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: drones into cities that have long been thought of as 605 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: regional safe havens. Lax is feeling the impact of the 606 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: recent strikes on Iran. At least three arriving flights from Dubai, Doha, 607 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: and Tel Aviv were canceled at Tom brad Bradley International 608 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: Terminal yesterday. A few departing flights from Lax bound for 609 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: those cities were also affected. Critics didn't like it, but 610 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,760 Speaker 1: audiences did. Slash Your film. Scream seven took in sixty 611 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: four million dollars at the box office to finish in 612 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: first place. It's the strongest opening of any of the 613 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: screen movies which debuted in nineteen ninety six. Let's say 614 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: good morning now to the host of the Hello Future 615 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's futurist Kevin Srelli. Good morning, Kevin, 616 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: good morning. 617 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 7: You know, the situation in Iran was not just a strike. 618 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 7: It was a demonstration of the US technology and how 619 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 7: it is able to be integrated into the future of 620 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 7: modern warfare capabilities, and that's arrived now. 621 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's why we wanted to have you on because, 622 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, it's different. What's going on 623 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: now is different than what would have happened ten or 624 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Just the technology and these weapons is 625 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: so far advanced. So we know that Israel and the 626 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: US carried out their massive strikes. What kind of weaponry was. 627 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 7: Used, Well, let's start with the artificial intelligence that was 628 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 7: deployed against the Iranians in order to prevent them from 629 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 7: using their military capabilities systems to detect these missiles. And 630 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 7: let's also note that the capability systems that they were using, 631 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 7: the Iranians were using were backed by the Chinese and 632 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 7: the Russians. So the ability for the US to dismantle 633 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 7: Iran's or missile defense capabilities means that the US has 634 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 7: the ability to cut through Iran and Chinese missile defense capabilities, 635 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 7: which is a huge demonstration of strength on behalf of 636 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 7: the US military. And if you're the Chinese Communist Party 637 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 7: and you're eyeing Iiwan, you are specifically specifically worried that 638 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 7: the US will be able to break through against any 639 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 7: missile defense capabilities that the Iranians and the Russians have 640 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 7: been having. Iran's been propped up by China and Russia, 641 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 7: not just in terms of their military but their technology. Secondly, 642 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 7: the US is able to directly communicate to the Iranian people. 643 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 7: Think back to when we were kids learning about World 644 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 7: War Two and when the US soldiers would drop leaflets 645 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 7: onto Europe to spread messaging and as a shy as 646 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 7: a sign of support for Europeans and for a host 647 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 7: of different folks who were being attacked by the Nazi regime. 648 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 7: They were able to The US is able to do 649 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 7: that speaking directly to Iranians by hacking into Iran's media 650 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 7: as well as their digital space on one of the 651 00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 7: most popular apps that Iranians use, which is a Muslim 652 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 7: calendar app, and just to encourage Iranian soldiers to abandon 653 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 7: the regime and to get on the side of the people. 654 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: So, Kevin, how are they able to do that, because 655 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,760 Speaker 1: don't they still have that blackout and they have the 656 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: Internet down and that kind of thing in Iran, So 657 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 1: they're still able to get in. 658 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 7: It was targeted. It was specifically targeted in terms of 659 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 7: leveraging telecommunications as well as the applications that government employees 660 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 7: communicate on and military personnel communicate on as well. So 661 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 7: they were able specifically to go in there. And you 662 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 7: mentioned that Iran has the blackouts, and let's let's just 663 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 7: contrast that for a second with Western democracy, because I 664 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 7: think we in America can't even wrap our head around 665 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 7: not having access to internet. When I go through a 666 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 7: dead zone in my car, it's frustrating. And so you 667 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 7: can say what you want about the hyperpolarization. At the 668 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 7: end of the day, the freedom of speech that we 669 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 7: value in this country is completely the opposite of what 670 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,919 Speaker 7: the Iranian regime has done.
