Yep, you know what. There's one 15 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:06.480 thing Anna and I were just talking with producer. Ann 16 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.079 and I were just talking about this. It's like it's NonStop. 17 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:16.159 Like with President Trump, it is absolutely NonStop. Things change 18 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.319 so fast. We're gonna be talking about around a lot 19 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.640 this morning. Obviously. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. 20 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.879 La Mayor Bass the city is closely monitoring for any 21 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.920 threats in Los Angeles following the US attack on nuclear 22 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.840 facilities in Iran Saturday. The mayor and Sheriff Luna both 23 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.799 have said there are no credible threats, but that out 24 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.519 of an abundance of caution, patrols are being stepped up 25 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.680 around places of worship and other sensitive locations. One person 26 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.799 has been killed two others are heard in a multi 27 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.799 car crash that shut down the southbound four or five 28 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.560 through the some Covida Pass. The crash happened around two 29 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.079 this morning. HP says one of the people hurt appears 30 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.640 to have been an LAPD officer, but the LAPD has 31 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.200 not confirmed that. Will was going to get you the 32 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.239 latest let you know if it's gonna affect your morning 33 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.079 commute in just a minute. The Israeli military has confirmed 34 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.960 that it has bombed roads around Iran's four toh nuclear 35 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.479 Enrichment facility to block access to the site. The strike 36 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:18.240 comes following the US bombing of three nuclear facilities using 37 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.400 B two bombers and bunker buster bombs. We're gonna be 38 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:27.000 talking with ABC's Chris Bachia about Operation Midnight Hammer and 39 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.360 whether that mission was successful. That's coming up before the 40 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.919 top of the hour, and just a couple hours after 41 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.240 the US attack, Iran fired again on Israel. Some of 42 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:37.879 those missiles did get through. We're going to get the 43 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.800 latest from Israel with ABC Stredanna Miller. The Iron Dome 44 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.280 has saved thousands of lives in Israel and it continues 45 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.800 to So how does it actually work. I found this 46 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.599 really great description of it while I was doom scrolling 47 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.719 on Instagram and I wanted to share that with you. 48 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.400 That's coming up sometime this hour. And also, I'm celebrating 49 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.919 a five year anniversary. Today's big one for me, and 50 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.000 it's sort of a cautionary tale. So I'm going to 51 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.960 tell you about my anniversary in hopes that you never 52 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.680 have to celebrate this anniversary. I know what it is. 53 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.000 All right, let's get started with some of the stories 54 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:18.599 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. They're 55 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.560 back home. That's the sound of B two Stealth bombers 56 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.719 returning from Saturday's US air strikes in Iran. Officials say 57 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.479 the bombers hit three Iranian nuclear sites. The six Stealth 58 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.520 fighter planes came back to the Whiteman Air Force Base 59 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.240 in Missouri yesterday afternoon. Local and state authorities say they're 60 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.520 watching out for potential fallout from the military bombing of 61 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.599 the Iranian nuclear sites. Mayor bass as I mentioned says 62 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.439 there are no credible threats at this time, but the 63 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.759 LAPT is patrolling near places of worship, community gathering spaces, 64 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.280 and other sensitive sites just in case. Governor Newsom also 65 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.879 says California's State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for 66 00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.800 any suspicious activity. The La County Sheriff's depart meant is 67 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.400 taking some heat for an online post. 68 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.520 Sheriff's department apparently posted then deleted a message on x 69 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.919 calling Iranian's victims of the recent bombings. The post sparked 70 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.439 some confusion and frustration, with critics accusing the department of 71 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.319 taking a political stance. Officials have since apologized, calling the 72 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.519 post quote inappropriate and saying it doesn't reflect Sheriff Luna's views. 73 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.120 They've launched an internal review and promised tighter oversight in 74 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.800 future communications. The Brooker KFI news Hey. 75 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.720 Don't heard him, You don't need to heard them. During 76 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.800 an ice rated the Bubble car wash in Torrents yesterday, 77 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.639 the business owner called out to federal agents who were 78 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.560 detaining workers. In videos now circulating online, the owner demanded 79 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.839 that agents leave, accusing them of acting like criminals. Tensions 80 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.360 escalated when one masked officer shoved the owner. That sparked 81 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.199 a pretty heated argument. Katla says neither ICE nor police 82 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.079 have commented on what happened. Officials with the City of 83 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.759 La are looking at possibly suing the Trump administration to 84 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.040 stop the ICE immigration raids they claim are unconstitutional. Last week, 85 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.759 seven council members signed a proposal asking the city attorney 86 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.079 to prioritize immediate legal action to protect the civil rights 87 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.600 of the people of La. They say it's needed to 88 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.480 keep people from being racially profiled or unlawfully detained. The 89 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.319 reconfigured interchange connecting the seventy one and ninety one freeways 90 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.720 in Corona set to open this morning. The interchange project 91 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.120 has cost one hundred and thirty seven million dollars and 92 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.639 has been going on since the winter of twenty twenty three. 93 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.839 It replaces the current single lane connector from the eastbound 94 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.959 ninety one to the seventy one with a two lane 95 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.399 connector loop to accommodate more vehicles. Let's say good morning 96 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:50.680 now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana hours after 97 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.279 the US dropped its bunker busting bombs on the Iranian 98 00:05:54.439 --> 00:06:00.000 nuclear facilities. Iran responded with words and with missiles headed 99 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:00.839 at Israel. 100 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.439 That's right, about five hours after the US carried out 101 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.680 those at this point looked like very successful strikes on 102 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.839 fod Out, Natans and East Sahamda's three rounding nuclear facilities. 103 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.079 Sirens ring out across Israel, and there was a wave 104 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.800 of about twenty five ballistic missiles. That has not been 105 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.439 the last wave. We've had at least two others, some 106 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.879 targeting just the north or just the center of the country. 107 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.160 The good news is that in the hours now more 108 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.079 than thirty six hours since the US carried out those strikes, 109 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.199 we have not had anybody killed here in Israel. There 110 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.439 have been several injured, some serious property damage residential buildings 111 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.560 where a few of the missiles got through Israel's air 112 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:57.879 defense systems, caused some pretty significant damage in the outskirts 113 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.759 some suburbs of Tel Aviv, for example, but again no 114 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:07.120 one injured. I'm sorry, no one killed, and just dozens injured. 115 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:12.120 Israel today is carrying out very intensive strikes across Iran 116 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.920 and specifically in Tehran, and what the Israelis have said 117 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.279 today is that they're hitting targets now of the regime, 118 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:27.240 not just military assets, not just nuclear sites, but targets 119 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.040 of the regime. And that includes today the Ministry of 120 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:37.639 Energy in the building there in Tehran, the headquarters of 121 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.519 the Busiege. That's Iran's very oppressive security arm of the 122 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:49.519 regime that has oppressed Iranians for decades. They've also hit 123 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.759 the notorious Evan Prison where opponents of the regime have 124 00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:01.079 been jailed on real or pumped up charges for decades, 125 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.959 including some Americans. Is they're also hitting Shahid University in Tehran, 126 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.000 that's an arm of the regime, and some of their 127 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.680 radio and TV stations that are connected with the regime. Remember, 128 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.120 the Israeli say that they're not after regime change, that's 129 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.399 not part of their military aims, but today on the ground, 130 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.879 it certainly looks like they're moving in that direction. 131 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.959 Okay, and you mentioned the prison that they would they 132 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.639 would bomb the prison. Is that did it like open 133 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.279 the front gates and people are spilling out or what's 134 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.000 the message with that one. 135 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.039 Well, they've hit the grounds, not the exact prison itself. 136 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.399 It appears the message of a warning shot. You know, 137 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.799 we're hitting the outside of the prison today. And if 138 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.759 the regime you know, continues to target Israeli civilian life, 139 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.159 which is what these Israelis are claiming, right, then the 140 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.919 next the next target at the prison could be the 141 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.960 prison itself where you know, which would obviously lead to 142 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.279 a massive jail break, right and could cause some chaos 143 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:12.840 and terehran. 144 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:14.720 So this is it. 145 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.000 Looks like this is a warning shop, but even at 146 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.720 that it is significant, okay. 147 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.360 And then Jordana, we are also just getting from the 148 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.840 wires that Israel has said that it has attacked Fourdoh again, 149 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.399 which is one of the sites that the US dropped 150 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.919 the bunker busting bombs on, and that it's it's hitting 151 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.000 the roadways around it to try to basically block anyone 152 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.559 from getting to or from it. Right. 153 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.600 Remember, until the US struck Four Dow, the Israelis had 154 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.919 taken out We've now learned some of the aerial defense 155 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.440 systems around for Dow to make sure that the American 156 00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:00.440 aircraft would be as safe as possible. But today the 157 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.000 Israeli Army has confirmed that they have hit some of 158 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.720 the access roads leading into fordw obviously to prevent the 159 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:13.159 Iranians from going into the facility and taking anything out 160 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.799 or you know, assessing the damage. So that is that 161 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.480 is what the Israelis have done, you know, in the 162 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.559 last couple hours. 163 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.720 Okay, and then Jordana, one last question. President Trump says, 164 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.720 it's now time to talk. Is Iran is not making 165 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.200 any public statement saying that it is. Is there anything 166 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.080 that you're hearing about that might maybe behind the scenes 167 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.799 that maybe they're quietly saying, okay, we'll we'll start talking now. 168 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.799 Well apparently, I mean we're hearing from US officials that 169 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.559 the messages between you know, Washington and Tehran have been 170 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.919 going back and forth for days, but the Iranians appear 171 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.519 to you know, not be interested in actually returning to 172 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.519 a negotiation, to the to the te to negotiate a 173 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.399 new deal. Not yet. We see Aron's foreign minister today 174 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.200 in Moscow. 175 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.799 All right, Jordana Miller, We'll keep watching it. Thank you, 176 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.120 be safe, and we'll talk to you soon. 177 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:13.440 Thanks soon. 178 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.039 Yep, all right, let's get back to some of the 179 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.440 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 180 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.639 Tehran is threatening retaliation against the US following the American 181 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.480 air strikes. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says, Israel 182 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.840 did all the heavy lifting. 183 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.399 They wiped out any of their air defenses, really severely 184 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.559 damaged them in what they've been doing over the. 185 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.000 Last week and a half or two. 186 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.000 Iran Is lashed out at the US for what it 187 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.159 says is crossing a very big red line. Lawmakers in 188 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.679 DC have reacted to the US air strikes. Democrats are 189 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.559 questioning the president's authority and the effectiveness of the attacks 190 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.360 on Tehran, while Republicans support the decision. The top Democrat 191 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.879 on the House Intelligence Committee, Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes, says 192 00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:59.440 he hopes it doesn't backfire. 193 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.399 The worst scenario is that, you know, the Iranians have 194 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.240 a lot more missiles than we think they do, and 195 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.840 we end up with dead soldiers and sailors in the region. 196 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.399 He says. The bottom line is the president has taken 197 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.120 a huge gamble. Investors say the US bombing in Iran 198 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.519 could push oil prices higher. Investors are saying they expect 199 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.440 it's going to cost a stock market sellof and a 200 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.200 possible push for the US dollar and other safe haven assets. 201 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.039 When Wall Street opens this morning, they say one indicator 202 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.279 of how markets will react this week is the price 203 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.759 of Ether, the second biggest cryptocurrency, and a gauge of 204 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.240 retail investor sentiment. We're going to get more on that 205 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.639 when we get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho 206 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.159 that's coming up at five point forty. It's going to 207 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.960 be very hot and very humid for a lot of 208 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.720 the US this week. Meteorologist Britney Bells's record high temperatures 209 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.799 are expected. 210 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.559 Stretching from Louisiana all the way to Maine, including an 211 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.679 excessive heat warning that includes major cities like Washington, d C. 212 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:54.679 And Boston. 213 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.679 High temperatures in DC could get at or above one 214 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.840 hundred degrees. 215 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.159 She says, in New York and other places, the humidity 216 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.320 is going to make it feel like one hundred and 217 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.200 ten degrees. And speaking of hot weather, now that summer 218 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.559 is officially here, it arrived on Friday, Travel Experts Day, 219 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.600 it's not too late to book a getaway this season. 220 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.039 Katie Nastro with Going dot Com says flying away is 221 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.960 getting more affordable. Average price of airfare down seven percent 222 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.279 year over year. That's pretty massive, down twenty five percent 223 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.200 from June of twenty twenty two. She says Chicago is 224 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.600 already popping up as a popular destination for summer trips. 225 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.799 Chicago is beautiful in the summer. It is late summer. 226 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.000 I got that. I went there one time and it 227 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.360 was gorgeous and sunny and there was very little humidity. 228 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.960 And I was talking to a waiter at a restaurant. 229 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.759 I was like, this is so amazing. He goes, yeah, 230 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.639 wait till next month, exactly. Yeah, Okay. Tomorrow, the Dodgers 231 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.240 take on the Rockies in Colorado.

The governor posted on x that the state 240 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.480 is monitoring for any impacts on the state and that 241 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.879 there are no specific or credible threats in California at 242 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.879 this time. A small group of protesters gathered in downtown 243 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.039 LA after they announced with that the US had bombed 244 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.159 three Iranian nuclear facilities. Organizers said on Instagram, they're demanding 245 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.200 an end to the war on Iran, on our immigrants, 246 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.960 and on Gaza. Oil prices have jumped following the US 247 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.559 air strikes. US CREWE oil was up to almost seventy 248 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.440 six dollars a barrel as of last nights, down a 249 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.519 little bit from there this morning. Iran has said that 250 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.679 it might close the Strait of hor Moves in response 251 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.440 to the bombings. Twenty percent of the world's oil passed 252 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.559 through the strait last year. At six oh five, Handle 253 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.000 on the news, of course, Handle's going to be talked 254 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.879 about everything that happened over the weekend with Iran. So 255 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:08.080 today is my five year anniversary, and I try not 256 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.480 to harp on it too much, but I like to 257 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.919 take a few opportunities when I can to talk about 258 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:17.120 this because it could affect you. And So five years 259 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:21.600 ago today, June twenty third, twenty twenty, I had an 260 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.600 operation to remove I still hate saying the word a 261 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:29.600 cancer is tumor. They took out about eleven inches of 262 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.679 my large intestine with it. So I had the big 263 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.039 sea colon cancer, which is I have since found out 264 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:41.720 is the second deadliest form of cancer. Nice. And here 265 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.799 is why I'm hoping that me sharing this story with 266 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:46.919 you today is going to help you not ever have 267 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.919 to celebrate an anniversary like this. First of I'm going 268 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.000 to say that my last set of blood work and 269 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.679 all of that, I meet still meet with my oncologist 270 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:01.399 every six months. Everything came back clear and he told me, Amy, 271 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.639 you're basically cured, which was like the best news. So 272 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.919 I'm very very fortunate. So here's where I screwed up, 273 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.879 and that is you're supposed to get your screenings now, 274 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.559 starting at forty five, because it's hitting people younger, so 275 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.519 you're supposed to get the colonoscopy, which nobody wants to 276 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.720 get to done. And when I talked to my doctor 277 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.720 and they said, hey, Amy, it's time to get your screening, 278 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.279 I said okay, and I didn't do anything about it. 279 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.279 And I waited and I waited, and I kept going, oh, 280 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:35.159 i'll do it this year. Oh I'll do it. Oh, 281 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.000 oh yeah, I'll do it. No big deal. And then 282 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.879 in March of twenty twenty, I started having these just 283 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:47.200 nasty stomach cramps and they would last for like off 284 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.039 and on for like, I don't know, eight ten twelve hours, 285 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.639 and then it would be followed by eight ten twelve 286 00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:01.039 hours of throwing up. So basically the tumor had gotten 287 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.319 to the point where it was not a complete blockage, 288 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.839 but it was obstructing enough that it basically shut down 289 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.799 my system. And they said, hey, what's going on? Like 290 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.279 everything couldn't work the way it was supposed to. And 291 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.880 after the cramping then it would say, okay, well, if 292 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.920 it can't go through the normal channels, it's got to 293 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.599 come back up. And that's what was triggering the throwing up. 294 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.279 So really weird, right, So we went and we tried 295 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.319 to diagnose it, and I talked to doctors, and it 296 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.480 all happened during COVID, which was an extra layer of interesting. 297 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.920 But and we thought it was, you know, pancreatitis. We 298 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.880 thought it was a food allergy, We thought it was 299 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.880 a problem with my stomach. We thought it was all 300 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.960 these different things and we didn't know, and we kind 301 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.799 of process of elimination and I had these episodes like 302 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.799 thirteen times, I think over the span of a couple 303 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:51.640 of months. As we're trying to figure out what was wrong. 304 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.000 We finally did an endoscopy. My gastroentrologist said, let's do 305 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.200 an endoscopy. That's when they stick the tube down your 306 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.720 throat and check out your stomach and he goes, oh, 307 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.880 and have you ever had a colonoscopy? And I'm like no, 308 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.480 and he goes, oh, well, let's do that at the 309 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:09.920 same time. So we did. We did them both, and 310 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.519 that's when they discovered that there was an issue. And 311 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:17.759 I woke up from my colonoscopy, which was again it's 312 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.240 the best nap of your life. The prep is no fun. 313 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.839 But I woke up from that they said we found something. 314 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:25.440 We got to get it out. And that started the 315 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.920 process and like a couple of weeks later, I was 316 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.759 in surgery, had it removed, and then did six months 317 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.359 of chemotherapy as an insurance policy to make sure that 318 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.880 they got everything, even though there were no signs that 319 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.039 it had spread anywhere. But so then I got to 320 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:47.200 do a surgery, I got to spend a week in 321 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.200 the hospital, and then I got six months of chemo. 322 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.920 So again, it was June twenty third of twenty twenty, 323 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:57.920 and I am so thankful that it is now five 324 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:01.000 years later. But I got to tell you, go get 325 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:05.319 your stupid colonoscopy. Nobody wants them. It's not fun. The 326 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.680 prep is not fun, but it's not that big of 327 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.359 a deal. And it's a day out of your life. 328 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.400 And it literally can save your life because if they 329 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.720 had caught it earlier, they could have taken care of 330 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.119 it and just snipped it out. Because I said to 331 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.680 the doctor, Hey, how long has this been there? And 332 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.640 he said ten years, because it's very slow growing generally. 333 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.039 And I said when did it turn bad? He said 334 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.359 eighteen months ago. So if you catch it early, you 335 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:34.240 can prevent it, you know, So do that. Please go. 336 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.000 If you haven't done your colonoscopy, please go get it 337 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.680 done now. It can literally save your life. It did 338 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.079 save my life, but if I'd done it when I 339 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:46.680 should have, I would have saved myself a lot. So anyway, 340 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.839 that is my message and my rant and my plea 341 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.799 to you. It's so so important. It literally can save 342 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.200 your life. Okay, happy anniversary to me. Let's get on. 343 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.000 Several US allies are urging a return to the Negotia 344 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.240 aiding table after the weekend airstrikes on Iran, while saying 345 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.640 that talks are desirable. Leaders in the UK and European 346 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.960 Union countries are also noting that Iran's nuclear program is 347 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.559 a threat. At the same time, some countries and groups 348 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.480 in the Middle East, including those that support Iran, have 349 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.759 condemned the attacks, but are also urging de escalation. Iran 350 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.680 says it reserves the right to resist with full force. 351 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.440 Some analysts and experts on the Middle East believed that 352 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.960 while President Trump authorized the strikes, it was Israel's Prime 353 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.640 minister who convinced him to do it. Executive director of 354 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.480 the Arms Control Association Darryl Kimball says the strikes came 355 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:38.440 in the middle of diplomatic negotiations with Iran and just 356 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:40.519 days after Israel launched its own attack. 357 00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.640 I think the strike was in part designed, yes to 358 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:49.160 knock back Iran's nuclear capabilities, but also to sabotage these talks. 359 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.680 Defense Secretary Pete Hegsas says it was in the works 360 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.160 for weeks and took a great deal of planning, precision, 361 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.960 and secrecy. A man's been hit and killed by an 362 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.720 SUV on the ninety Freeway near Marina del Ray. Police 363 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.599 say the crash happened about two am Sunday on the 364 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.519 eastbound side of the freeway near the Sentinella exit. A 365 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.920 body has been found along a roadway and actin. The 366 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.960 body was discovered shortly before one am yesterday on Sea 367 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.480 or A Highway. Police say the person had been hit 368 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.759 several times by vehicles. The victim's vehicle was found parked 369 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:22.599 on the shoulder about a half mile away from where 370 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:24.920 the body was found.
