Speaker 1: call for Monday, June twenty third. I'm Amy King. We're
Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. My goodness, what a weekend.
Speaker 1: I started off with a day at Disney, which was fabulous,
Speaker 1: and then decided it was going to be a chill
Speaker 1: binge weekend, chilling on the couch, expected no news, really
Speaker 1: expected nothing big to happen, and then you know, switch
Speaker 1: back to normal TV for one moment and goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: the US bombed Iran. Yep, you know what. There's one
Speaker 1: thing Anna and I were just talking with producer. Ann
Speaker 1: and I were just talking about this. It's like it's NonStop.
Speaker 1: Like with President Trump, it is absolutely NonStop. Things change
Speaker 1: so fast. We're gonna be talking about around a lot
Speaker 1: this morning. Obviously. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call.
Speaker 1: La Mayor Bass the city is closely monitoring for any
Speaker 1: threats in Los Angeles following the US attack on nuclear
Speaker 1: facilities in Iran Saturday. The mayor and Sheriff Luna both
Speaker 1: have said there are no credible threats, but that out
Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, patrols are being stepped up
Speaker 1: around places of worship and other sensitive locations. One person
Speaker 1: has been killed two others are heard in a multi
Speaker 1: car crash that shut down the southbound four or five
Speaker 1: through the some Covida Pass. The crash happened around two
Speaker 1: this morning. HP says one of the people hurt appears
Speaker 1: to have been an LAPD officer, but the LAPD has
Speaker 1: not confirmed that. Will was going to get you the
Speaker 1: latest let you know if it's gonna affect your morning
Speaker 1: commute in just a minute. The Israeli military has confirmed
Speaker 1: that it has bombed roads around Iran's four toh nuclear
Speaker 1: Enrichment facility to block access to the site. The strike
Speaker 1: comes following the US bombing of three nuclear facilities using
Speaker 1: B two bombers and bunker buster bombs. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: talking with ABC's Chris Bachia about Operation Midnight Hammer and
Speaker 1: whether that mission was successful. That's coming up before the
Speaker 1: top of the hour, and just a couple hours after
Speaker 1: the US attack, Iran fired again on Israel. Some of
Speaker 1: those missiles did get through. We're going to get the
Speaker 1: latest from Israel with ABC Stredanna Miller. The Iron Dome
Speaker 1: has saved thousands of lives in Israel and it continues
Speaker 1: to So how does it actually work. I found this
Speaker 1: really great description of it while I was doom scrolling
Speaker 1: on Instagram and I wanted to share that with you.
Speaker 1: That's coming up sometime this hour. And also, I'm celebrating
Speaker 1: a five year anniversary. Today's big one for me, and
Speaker 1: it's sort of a cautionary tale. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you about my anniversary in hopes that you never
Speaker 1: have to celebrate this anniversary. I know what it is.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get started with some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. They're
Speaker 1: back home. That's the sound of B two Stealth bombers
Speaker 1: returning from Saturday's US air strikes in Iran. Officials say
Speaker 1: the bombers hit three Iranian nuclear sites. The six Stealth
Speaker 1: fighter planes came back to the Whiteman Air Force Base
Speaker 1: in Missouri yesterday afternoon. Local and state authorities say they're
Speaker 1: watching out for potential fallout from the military bombing of
Speaker 1: the Iranian nuclear sites. Mayor bass as I mentioned says
Speaker 1: there are no credible threats at this time, but the
Speaker 1: LAPT is patrolling near places of worship, community gathering spaces,
Speaker 1: and other sensitive sites just in case. Governor Newsom also
Speaker 1: says California's State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for
Speaker 1: any suspicious activity. The La County Sheriff's depart meant is
Speaker 1: taking some heat for an online post.
Speaker 4: Sheriff's department apparently posted then deleted a message on x
Speaker 4: calling Iranian's victims of the recent bombings. The post sparked
Speaker 4: some confusion and frustration, with critics accusing the department of
Speaker 4: taking a political stance. Officials have since apologized, calling the
Speaker 4: post quote inappropriate and saying it doesn't reflect Sheriff Luna's views.
Speaker 4: They've launched an internal review and promised tighter oversight in
Speaker 4: future communications. The Brooker KFI news Hey.
Speaker 1: Don't heard him, You don't need to heard them. During
Speaker 1: an ice rated the Bubble car wash in Torrents yesterday,
Speaker 1: the business owner called out to federal agents who were
Speaker 1: detaining workers. In videos now circulating online, the owner demanded
Speaker 1: that agents leave, accusing them of acting like criminals. Tensions
Speaker 1: escalated when one masked officer shoved the owner. That sparked
Speaker 1: a pretty heated argument. Katla says neither ICE nor police
Speaker 1: have commented on what happened. Officials with the City of
Speaker 1: La are looking at possibly suing the Trump administration to
Speaker 1: stop the ICE immigration raids they claim are unconstitutional. Last week,
Speaker 1: seven council members signed a proposal asking the city attorney
Speaker 1: to prioritize immediate legal action to protect the civil rights
Speaker 1: of the people of La. They say it's needed to
Speaker 1: keep people from being racially profiled or unlawfully detained. The
Speaker 1: reconfigured interchange connecting the seventy one and ninety one freeways
Speaker 1: in Corona set to open this morning. The interchange project
Speaker 1: has cost one hundred and thirty seven million dollars and
Speaker 1: has been going on since the winter of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: It replaces the current single lane connector from the eastbound
Speaker 1: ninety one to the seventy one with a two lane
Speaker 1: connector loop to accommodate more vehicles. Let's say good morning
Speaker 1: now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana hours after
Speaker 1: the US dropped its bunker busting bombs on the Iranian
Speaker 1: nuclear facilities. Iran responded with words and with missiles headed
Speaker 1: at Israel.
Speaker 5: That's right, about five hours after the US carried out
Speaker 5: those at this point looked like very successful strikes on
Speaker 5: fod Out, Natans and East Sahamda's three rounding nuclear facilities.
Speaker 5: Sirens ring out across Israel, and there was a wave
Speaker 5: of about twenty five ballistic missiles. That has not been
Speaker 5: the last wave. We've had at least two others, some
Speaker 5: targeting just the north or just the center of the country.
Speaker 5: The good news is that in the hours now more
Speaker 5: than thirty six hours since the US carried out those strikes,
Speaker 5: we have not had anybody killed here in Israel. There
Speaker 5: have been several injured, some serious property damage residential buildings
Speaker 5: where a few of the missiles got through Israel's air
Speaker 5: defense systems, caused some pretty significant damage in the outskirts
Speaker 5: some suburbs of Tel Aviv, for example, but again no
Speaker 5: one injured. I'm sorry, no one killed, and just dozens injured.
Speaker 5: Israel today is carrying out very intensive strikes across Iran
Speaker 5: and specifically in Tehran, and what the Israelis have said
Speaker 5: today is that they're hitting targets now of the regime,
Speaker 5: not just military assets, not just nuclear sites, but targets
Speaker 5: of the regime. And that includes today the Ministry of
Speaker 5: Energy in the building there in Tehran, the headquarters of
Speaker 5: the Busiege. That's Iran's very oppressive security arm of the
Speaker 5: regime that has oppressed Iranians for decades. They've also hit
Speaker 5: the notorious Evan Prison where opponents of the regime have
Speaker 5: been jailed on real or pumped up charges for decades,
Speaker 5: including some Americans. Is they're also hitting Shahid University in Tehran,
Speaker 5: that's an arm of the regime, and some of their
Speaker 5: radio and TV stations that are connected with the regime. Remember,
Speaker 5: the Israeli say that they're not after regime change, that's
Speaker 5: not part of their military aims, but today on the ground,
Speaker 5: it certainly looks like they're moving in that direction.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you mentioned the prison that they would they
Speaker 1: would bomb the prison. Is that did it like open
Speaker 1: the front gates and people are spilling out or what's
Speaker 1: the message with that one.
Speaker 5: Well, they've hit the grounds, not the exact prison itself.
Speaker 5: It appears the message of a warning shot. You know,
Speaker 5: we're hitting the outside of the prison today. And if
Speaker 5: the regime you know, continues to target Israeli civilian life,
Speaker 5: which is what these Israelis are claiming, right, then the
Speaker 5: next the next target at the prison could be the
Speaker 5: prison itself where you know, which would obviously lead to
Speaker 5: a massive jail break, right and could cause some chaos
Speaker 5: and terehran.
Speaker 1: So this is it.
Speaker 5: Looks like this is a warning shop, but even at
Speaker 5: that it is significant, okay.
Speaker 1: And then Jordana, we are also just getting from the
Speaker 1: wires that Israel has said that it has attacked Fourdoh again,
Speaker 1: which is one of the sites that the US dropped
Speaker 1: the bunker busting bombs on, and that it's it's hitting
Speaker 1: the roadways around it to try to basically block anyone
Speaker 1: from getting to or from it. Right.
Speaker 5: Remember, until the US struck Four Dow, the Israelis had
Speaker 5: taken out We've now learned some of the aerial defense
Speaker 5: systems around for Dow to make sure that the American
Speaker 5: aircraft would be as safe as possible. But today the
Speaker 5: Israeli Army has confirmed that they have hit some of
Speaker 5: the access roads leading into fordw obviously to prevent the
Speaker 5: Iranians from going into the facility and taking anything out
Speaker 5: or you know, assessing the damage. So that is that
Speaker 5: is what the Israelis have done, you know, in the
Speaker 5: last couple hours.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then Jordana, one last question. President Trump says,
Speaker 1: it's now time to talk. Is Iran is not making
Speaker 1: any public statement saying that it is. Is there anything
Speaker 1: that you're hearing about that might maybe behind the scenes
Speaker 1: that maybe they're quietly saying, okay, we'll we'll start talking now.
Speaker 5: Well apparently, I mean we're hearing from US officials that
Speaker 5: the messages between you know, Washington and Tehran have been
Speaker 5: going back and forth for days, but the Iranians appear
Speaker 5: to you know, not be interested in actually returning to
Speaker 5: a negotiation, to the to the te to negotiate a
Speaker 5: new deal. Not yet. We see Aron's foreign minister today
Speaker 5: in Moscow.
Speaker 1: All right, Jordana Miller, We'll keep watching it. Thank you,
Speaker 1: be safe, and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 5: Thanks soon.
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, let's get back to some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Tehran is threatening retaliation against the US following the American
Speaker 1: air strikes. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says, Israel
Speaker 1: did all the heavy lifting.
Speaker 3: They wiped out any of their air defenses, really severely
Speaker 3: damaged them in what they've been doing over the.
Speaker 6: Last week and a half or two.
Speaker 1: Iran Is lashed out at the US for what it
Speaker 1: says is crossing a very big red line. Lawmakers in
Speaker 1: DC have reacted to the US air strikes. Democrats are
Speaker 1: questioning the president's authority and the effectiveness of the attacks
Speaker 1: on Tehran, while Republicans support the decision. The top Democrat
Speaker 1: on the House Intelligence Committee, Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes, says
Speaker 1: he hopes it doesn't backfire.
Speaker 7: The worst scenario is that, you know, the Iranians have
Speaker 7: a lot more missiles than we think they do, and
Speaker 7: we end up with dead soldiers and sailors in the region.
Speaker 1: He says. The bottom line is the president has taken
Speaker 1: a huge gamble. Investors say the US bombing in Iran
Speaker 1: could push oil prices higher. Investors are saying they expect
Speaker 1: it's going to cost a stock market sellof and a
Speaker 1: possible push for the US dollar and other safe haven assets.
Speaker 1: When Wall Street opens this morning, they say one indicator
Speaker 1: of how markets will react this week is the price
Speaker 1: of Ether, the second biggest cryptocurrency, and a gauge of
Speaker 1: retail investor sentiment. We're going to get more on that
Speaker 1: when we get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho
Speaker 1: that's coming up at five point forty. It's going to
Speaker 1: be very hot and very humid for a lot of
Speaker 1: the US this week. Meteorologist Britney Bells's record high temperatures
Speaker 1: are expected.
Speaker 8: Stretching from Louisiana all the way to Maine, including an
Speaker 8: excessive heat warning that includes major cities like Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: And Boston.
Speaker 9: High temperatures in DC could get at or above one
Speaker 9: hundred degrees.
Speaker 1: She says, in New York and other places, the humidity
Speaker 1: is going to make it feel like one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten degrees. And speaking of hot weather, now that summer
Speaker 1: is officially here, it arrived on Friday, Travel Experts Day,
Speaker 1: it's not too late to book a getaway this season.
Speaker 1: Katie Nastro with Going dot Com says flying away is
Speaker 1: getting more affordable. Average price of airfare down seven percent
Speaker 1: year over year. That's pretty massive, down twenty five percent
Speaker 1: from June of twenty twenty two. She says Chicago is
Speaker 1: already popping up as a popular destination for summer trips.
Speaker 1: Chicago is beautiful in the summer. It is late summer.
Speaker 1: I got that. I went there one time and it
Speaker 1: was gorgeous and sunny and there was very little humidity.
Speaker 1: And I was talking to a waiter at a restaurant.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is so amazing. He goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: wait till next month, exactly. Yeah, Okay. Tomorrow, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: take on the Rockies in Colorado. First pitch goes out
Speaker 1: at five forty. You can listen to all Dodger games
Speaker 1: this season on AM five to seventy LA Sports and
Speaker 1: stream all the games on the iHeartRadio app. Keyword is
Speaker 1: AM five to seventy LA Sports. Sahi super Dry discovered
Speaker 1: Japan's number one selling beer at your favorite bar or grocer.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has urged everyone to stay vigilant and report
Speaker 1: any suspicious activity following the US bombing of nuclear facilities
Speaker 1: in Iran. The governor posted on x that the state
Speaker 1: is monitoring for any impacts on the state and that
Speaker 1: there are no specific or credible threats in California at
Speaker 1: this time. A small group of protesters gathered in downtown
Speaker 1: LA after they announced with that the US had bombed
Speaker 1: three Iranian nuclear facilities. Organizers said on Instagram, they're demanding
Speaker 1: an end to the war on Iran, on our immigrants,
Speaker 1: and on Gaza. Oil prices have jumped following the US
Speaker 1: air strikes. US CREWE oil was up to almost seventy
Speaker 1: six dollars a barrel as of last nights, down a
Speaker 1: little bit from there this morning. Iran has said that
Speaker 1: it might close the Strait of hor Moves in response
Speaker 1: to the bombings. Twenty percent of the world's oil passed
Speaker 1: through the strait last year. At six oh five, Handle
Speaker 1: on the news, of course, Handle's going to be talked
Speaker 1: about everything that happened over the weekend with Iran. So
Speaker 1: today is my five year anniversary, and I try not
Speaker 1: to harp on it too much, but I like to
Speaker 1: take a few opportunities when I can to talk about
Speaker 1: this because it could affect you. And So five years
Speaker 1: ago today, June twenty third, twenty twenty, I had an
Speaker 1: operation to remove I still hate saying the word a
Speaker 1: cancer is tumor. They took out about eleven inches of
Speaker 1: my large intestine with it. So I had the big
Speaker 1: sea colon cancer, which is I have since found out
Speaker 1: is the second deadliest form of cancer. Nice. And here
Speaker 1: is why I'm hoping that me sharing this story with
Speaker 1: you today is going to help you not ever have
Speaker 1: to celebrate an anniversary like this. First of I'm going
Speaker 1: to say that my last set of blood work and
Speaker 1: all of that, I meet still meet with my oncologist
Speaker 1: every six months. Everything came back clear and he told me, Amy,
Speaker 1: you're basically cured, which was like the best news. So
Speaker 1: I'm very very fortunate. So here's where I screwed up,
Speaker 1: and that is you're supposed to get your screenings now,
Speaker 1: starting at forty five, because it's hitting people younger, so
Speaker 1: you're supposed to get the colonoscopy, which nobody wants to
Speaker 1: get to done. And when I talked to my doctor
Speaker 1: and they said, hey, Amy, it's time to get your screening,
Speaker 1: I said okay, and I didn't do anything about it.
Speaker 1: And I waited and I waited, and I kept going, oh,
Speaker 1: i'll do it this year. Oh I'll do it. Oh,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'll do it. No big deal. And then
Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty, I started having these just
Speaker 1: nasty stomach cramps and they would last for like off
Speaker 1: and on for like, I don't know, eight ten twelve hours,
Speaker 1: and then it would be followed by eight ten twelve
Speaker 1: hours of throwing up. So basically the tumor had gotten
Speaker 1: to the point where it was not a complete blockage,
Speaker 1: but it was obstructing enough that it basically shut down
Speaker 1: my system. And they said, hey, what's going on? Like
Speaker 1: everything couldn't work the way it was supposed to. And
Speaker 1: after the cramping then it would say, okay, well, if
Speaker 1: it can't go through the normal channels, it's got to
Speaker 1: come back up. And that's what was triggering the throwing up.
Speaker 1: So really weird, right, So we went and we tried
Speaker 1: to diagnose it, and I talked to doctors, and it
Speaker 1: all happened during COVID, which was an extra layer of interesting.
Speaker 1: But and we thought it was, you know, pancreatitis. We
Speaker 1: thought it was a food allergy, We thought it was
Speaker 1: a problem with my stomach. We thought it was all
Speaker 1: these different things and we didn't know, and we kind
Speaker 1: of process of elimination and I had these episodes like
Speaker 1: thirteen times, I think over the span of a couple
Speaker 1: of months. As we're trying to figure out what was wrong.
Speaker 1: We finally did an endoscopy. My gastroentrologist said, let's do
Speaker 1: an endoscopy. That's when they stick the tube down your
Speaker 1: throat and check out your stomach and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: and have you ever had a colonoscopy? And I'm like no,
Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, well, let's do that at the
Speaker 1: same time. So we did. We did them both, and
Speaker 1: that's when they discovered that there was an issue. And
Speaker 1: I woke up from my colonoscopy, which was again it's
Speaker 1: the best nap of your life. The prep is no fun.
Speaker 1: But I woke up from that they said we found something.
Speaker 1: We got to get it out. And that started the
Speaker 1: process and like a couple of weeks later, I was
Speaker 1: in surgery, had it removed, and then did six months
Speaker 1: of chemotherapy as an insurance policy to make sure that
Speaker 1: they got everything, even though there were no signs that
Speaker 1: it had spread anywhere. But so then I got to
Speaker 1: do a surgery, I got to spend a week in
Speaker 1: the hospital, and then I got six months of chemo.
Speaker 1: So again, it was June twenty third of twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and I am so thankful that it is now five
Speaker 1: years later. But I got to tell you, go get
Speaker 1: your stupid colonoscopy. Nobody wants them. It's not fun. The
Speaker 1: prep is not fun, but it's not that big of
Speaker 1: a deal. And it's a day out of your life.
Speaker 1: And it literally can save your life because if they
Speaker 1: had caught it earlier, they could have taken care of
Speaker 1: it and just snipped it out. Because I said to
Speaker 1: the doctor, Hey, how long has this been there? And
Speaker 1: he said ten years, because it's very slow growing generally.
Speaker 1: And I said when did it turn bad? He said
Speaker 1: eighteen months ago. So if you catch it early, you
Speaker 1: can prevent it, you know, So do that. Please go.
Speaker 1: If you haven't done your colonoscopy, please go get it
Speaker 1: done now. It can literally save your life. It did
Speaker 1: save my life, but if I'd done it when I
Speaker 1: should have, I would have saved myself a lot. So anyway,
Speaker 1: that is my message and my rant and my plea
Speaker 1: to you. It's so so important. It literally can save
Speaker 1: your life. Okay, happy anniversary to me. Let's get on.
Speaker 1: Several US allies are urging a return to the Negotia
Speaker 1: aiding table after the weekend airstrikes on Iran, while saying
Speaker 1: that talks are desirable. Leaders in the UK and European
Speaker 1: Union countries are also noting that Iran's nuclear program is
Speaker 1: a threat. At the same time, some countries and groups
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, including those that support Iran, have
Speaker 1: condemned the attacks, but are also urging de escalation. Iran
Speaker 1: says it reserves the right to resist with full force.
Speaker 1: Some analysts and experts on the Middle East believed that
Speaker 1: while President Trump authorized the strikes, it was Israel's Prime
Speaker 1: minister who convinced him to do it. Executive director of
Speaker 1: the Arms Control Association Darryl Kimball says the strikes came
Speaker 1: in the middle of diplomatic negotiations with Iran and just
Speaker 1: days after Israel launched its own attack.
Speaker 3: I think the strike was in part designed, yes to
Speaker 3: knock back Iran's nuclear capabilities, but also to sabotage these talks.
Speaker 1: Defense Secretary Pete Hegsas says it was in the works
Speaker 1: for weeks and took a great deal of planning, precision,
Speaker 1: and secrecy. A man's been hit and killed by an
Speaker 1: SUV on the ninety Freeway near Marina del Ray. Police
Speaker 1: say the crash happened about two am Sunday on the
Speaker 1: eastbound side of the freeway near the Sentinella exit. A
Speaker 1: body has been found along a roadway and actin. The
Speaker 1: body was discovered shortly before one am yesterday on Sea
Speaker 1: or A Highway. Police say the person had been hit
Speaker 1: several times by vehicles. The victim's vehicle was found parked
Speaker 1: on the shoulder about a half mile away from where
Speaker 1: the body was found. And a man has been killed
Speaker 1: when he was hit by at least three cars on
Speaker 1: a busy street in Long Beach. Happened around nine thirty
Speaker 1: Saturday night on Ocean Boulevard at ninth. Two of the
Speaker 1: drivers left the scene. Police say speed and distracted driving
Speaker 1: may have been contributing factors in the deadly crash. Tesla
Speaker 1: has rolled out its version of Robotaxi.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk's company launching its long awaited self driving taxi
Speaker 2: service in Austin, Texas, offering rides to a select group.
Speaker 2: The cost a flat rate of four dollars and twenty
Speaker 2: cents per ride.
Speaker 1: ABC's Andrew Dinbert says while they're technically driverless, each car
Speaker 1: does still have a safety monitor. That's a Tesla employee
Speaker 1: writing in the passenger seat and strawberries may beef up
Speaker 1: your brain. A study from San Diego State says that
Speaker 1: while eating four strawberries a day could improve your cognitive
Speaker 1: skills or not wild but just eating four strawberries a
Speaker 1: day could improve your cognitive skills. Researchers say the strawberries
Speaker 1: also helped lower blood pressure and increased disease fighting antioxidants
Speaker 1: in the blood. Study participants also noted a waste weight
Speaker 1: loss of one percent. That's not very much, but any
Speaker 1: little bit helps right. California Congressman Mike Thompson has called
Speaker 1: on House Speaker Johnson to reconvene the US House of
Speaker 1: Representatives so members can get briefed immediately on the evolving
Speaker 1: situation in the Middle East. Several members of Congress it
Speaker 1: was unconstitutional for the President to order an attack on
Speaker 1: Iranian nuclear sites without the approval of Congress. Eight people
Speaker 1: have been arrested for several retail thefts in a sting
Speaker 1: operation in Ventura County. The Sheriff's Department says the people
Speaker 1: arrested rain from between sixteen to forty years old. Sheriff's
Speaker 1: officials say they found nearly six thousand dollars worth of
Speaker 1: stolen property along with burglary tools. How to Train Your
Speaker 1: Dragon has swooped in and beat two other movie debuts,
Speaker 1: earning thirty seven million dollars in its opening or second
Speaker 1: weekend in theaters. The post apocalyptic zombie movie twenty eight
Speaker 1: Years Later opened in second and l e O. Pixar's
Speaker 1: movie about a boy who wants to be abducted by
Speaker 1: aliens open in third place, but it earned just twenty
Speaker 1: one million dollars. It was the worst opening ever for
Speaker 1: a Pixar movie. Okay, so we've been talking about the
Speaker 1: Iron Dome quite a bit. Obviously today we're talking more
Speaker 1: about Bunker Busters and the B twos from the attack
Speaker 1: on the Iranian nuclear facilities, but we've been talking about
Speaker 1: with Jordana Miller and others in Israel and how they
Speaker 1: have to run into shelters when they get these sirens
Speaker 1: and they get the notifications that there are missiles incoming
Speaker 1: from Iran, and it literally has saved thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of lives because a lot of the like most of
Speaker 1: the missiles that are aimed at Israel are intercepted by
Speaker 1: what is called the Iron Dome. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: how does it work? And so is doom scrolling the
Speaker 1: other day, and I saw on Instagram this guy who
Speaker 1: gave a great little short explanation of it, and I
Speaker 1: wanted to share it with you.
Speaker 6: The Iron Dome is designed to detect, track, and neutralize
Speaker 6: incoming threats within seconds. When a rocket is launched toward Israel,
Speaker 6: a radar array picks it up almost immediately, in less
Speaker 6: than a blink. On board computers calculate its trajectory to
Speaker 6: determine whether it's heading for a populated area. If it's not,
Speaker 6: if it's going to land in an open field or
Speaker 6: the sea, the system ignores it entirely. That's not a bug,
Speaker 6: it's by design. Firing interceptors is expensive, and the Dome
Speaker 6: is programmed to conserve them unless human lives are at risk.
Speaker 6: But when the system does engage, it launches interceptor missiles
Speaker 6: called Ta mirror missiles at speeds reaching mock two point two,
Speaker 6: which is over one seven hundred miles per hour, more
Speaker 6: than twice the speed of sound. These missiles don't even
Speaker 6: need to hit their targets directly. They detonate near incoming
Speaker 6: rockets and shred them mid air using a blast of
Speaker 6: metal fragments. Since its deployment in twenty eleven. The Iron
Speaker 6: Dome has intercepted over five thousand rockets with an astonishing
Speaker 6: ninety percent success rate, making it one of the most
Speaker 6: advanced short range defense systems on the planet. But this
Speaker 6: recent Iranian attack was different. It wasn't just a few rockets,
Speaker 6: it was hundreds launched in strategic waves. And it wasn't
Speaker 6: just rockets. Iran used a mix of drones, cruise missiles,
Speaker 6: and even ballistic missiles. The goal was to overwhelm the
Speaker 6: system's capacity. Even with help from US interceptors and other
Speaker 6: allied support, some of these weapons made it through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty it's pretty impressive how it continues to intercept
Speaker 1: those bumps. And Jordana said that something got through on Saturday,
Speaker 1: a few hours after the US attack on the nuclear facilities,
Speaker 1: and there were several people injured, and the damage is
Speaker 1: just crazy when they do get through, but very cool.
Speaker 1: The Iron done system, as you know, what's going on
Speaker 1: in Iran affects the whole world, and everybody's talking about it,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's next, and it's even affecting
Speaker 1: the stock markets. So let's get in your business with
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho and find out how the stock markets
Speaker 1: are being affected by what happened over the weekend. Yes,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 8: Well it's funny because it seems that Wall Street it's
Speaker 8: a bit unphased by some of these strikes. And this
Speaker 8: report is sponsored by Total Wine and more so, as
Speaker 8: I'm looking across the markets right now, there's a degree
Speaker 8: of calm that usually doesn't happen when we have a
Speaker 8: major geopolitical escalation that has taken place. So right now
Speaker 8: stocks are holding steady Dow futures, little change US in
Speaker 8: P futures.
Speaker 1: Same goes for that, and.
Speaker 8: We have to keep in mind the S and P
Speaker 8: five hundred is still only about three percent below it's
Speaker 8: all time high in February. But there has been a
Speaker 8: lot to focus on, especially for the fact that this
Speaker 8: region is so focused on oil, and this is what
Speaker 8: the markets are looking at closely today.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then as we just mentioned kind of it
Speaker 1: seems like everything affects the markets. And right now there's
Speaker 1: no deal between Iran and the US, and President Trump
Speaker 1: is saying there's got to be. Iran's not really signaling
Speaker 1: that they want to talk. But how could that affect
Speaker 1: the financial markets?
Speaker 8: See right now, everybody's looking at what's happening with the
Speaker 8: price of oil. We're seeing small gains, rising to seventy
Speaker 8: four dollars a barrel, but all of this could change
Speaker 8: if Iran manages to close the Straight of Horn Moves
Speaker 8: that is a key oil shipping lane. Yesterday we were
Speaker 8: looking at seventy eight dollars a barrel for oil. But
Speaker 8: traders are saying, hey, let's take a breath here, because
Speaker 8: there hasn't been any signs of disruption to the flow
Speaker 8: of crude in that region. And you have to think
Speaker 8: about it. That oil has risen more than twelve percent
Speaker 8: since the onset of the Israel Ron conflict. That's a
Speaker 8: nice little chunk, but not too too bad. But any
Speaker 8: disruption through the Strait of Horror Moves could mean a
Speaker 8: spike in energy prices. That could also mean higher inflation.
Speaker 8: But any significant increase in the price of oil or
Speaker 8: disturbance to trade trade is something else that we've been
Speaker 8: focusing on, caused by an escalation of the conflict. That
Speaker 8: could act as a break on the economy. And what
Speaker 8: we really don't want within the United States is lower growth,
Speaker 8: higher inflation, and that kicks off that word stagflation.
Speaker 1: We definitely don't want that to happen. Okay, well, we'll
Speaker 1: be watching. We get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney
Speaker 1: Donaho like we do every day, looking forward to our
Speaker 1: next discussion. We'll see how things shake out today. Definitely
Speaker 1: see you later, all right, thanks Courtney. La Mayor Bass
Speaker 1: says the city is closely monitoring for any threats to
Speaker 1: La following the US attack on nuclear facilities Saturday. The
Speaker 1: mayor and La County Sheriff Luna both say there are
Speaker 1: no known credible threats, but that out of extra precaution,
Speaker 1: they are stepping up patrols around places of worship and
Speaker 1: other sensitive locations. Security guards and a parishioner have stopped
Speaker 1: a potential mass shooting outside of church in Michigan. The
Speaker 1: police chief, Ryan Strong says a man with a rifle
Speaker 1: and a handgun got out of his car in front
Speaker 1: of Cross Point Community Church in Wayne yesterday. I started shooting.
Speaker 1: He was wearing a tactical vest. A parishioner hit the
Speaker 1: man with his car and then was shot by at
Speaker 1: least two security guards. Six teenagers have been injured in
Speaker 1: a shooting in a parking lot in Moreno Valley happened
Speaker 1: Saturday nights. Five of the six were taken to hospitals,
Speaker 1: all of them in critical condition. The sixth person shot
Speaker 1: drove themselves to the hospital. Let's say now, good morning
Speaker 1: to ABC's Chris Bachia. Chris, the US carrier carried out
Speaker 1: Operation Midnight Hammer Saturday afternoon, which was Sunday morning in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Walk us through a little bit about
Speaker 1: what happened, and then what US officials said about it
Speaker 1: during that Sunday morning press briefing.
Speaker 3: Good morning, yes, Well, the Pentagon officials who briefed the
Speaker 3: media yesterday gave us a sense of how that looked.
Speaker 3: And while seven B two bombers went eastward toward Iran,
Speaker 3: six of them went westward toward Guam, which was a
Speaker 3: bit of a head fake, and it got people thinking
Speaker 3: because those B two stealth bombers kept their transponders on.
Speaker 3: So folks who track these sorts of things saw them
Speaker 3: headed west and said, what's happening there? Perhaps they're going
Speaker 3: to be staging at Guam. Meanwhile, those flights were headed eastward.
Speaker 3: Those were more than thirty hour flights round trip from
Speaker 3: Iran and back to Missouri. They are now safely back
Speaker 3: at American soil where they came from. And one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty five aircraft were involved in this, between the
Speaker 3: seven stealth bombers that actually dropped the ordinances, and the
Speaker 3: escorts and the refuelers involved along the way. It was
Speaker 3: a massive operation. The Pentagon says it was a big success.
Speaker 3: Secretary Pete Hegseth said the nuclear sites were severely damaged.
Speaker 3: President Trump said they were quote obliterated. The Chairman of
Speaker 3: the Joint Chiefs, the top military uniform official, said it's
Speaker 3: too early to tell, way too early to tell, in fact,
Speaker 3: to do a battle damage assessment, but he did say
Speaker 3: that this was a success, that these nuclear sites, the
Speaker 3: three of them, sustained significant damage.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Chris, now can you tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the actual operation. So we know that
Speaker 1: some of the B two's were headed to Guam as
Speaker 1: a decoy basically, and then there were six that went
Speaker 1: to Iran.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's actually the reverse. I think the
Speaker 3: big six toward Guam and seven toward Iran. Soeen exactly right,
Speaker 3: and fourteen Massive ordnance penetrators are the names of the bomb.
Speaker 3: They're they're they're colloquially known as the Mother of All
Speaker 3: bombs because they're thirty thousand pounds and only the US
Speaker 3: has them, and only the US have the aircraft that
Speaker 3: can carry them. And that's why Israel was appealing to
Speaker 3: the US. We don't know that necessarily in any direct way,
Speaker 3: but certainly Israel would have welcomed the US attack, not
Speaker 3: something that they could have done. So to get those
Speaker 3: ordinances deep into the ground. There some three hundred feet
Speaker 3: under Fodah, which is the fortified nuclear site underneath a mountain.
Speaker 3: Now you can see from the satellite imagery six punctures
Speaker 3: that show massive holes in the ground where the bombs drop.
Speaker 3: But it's just hard to know at this point what
Speaker 3: damage they actually did underground and to the nuclear facility,
Speaker 3: to the centrifuges that were enriching uranium.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then Chris, they had fourteen of the bunker
Speaker 1: busting bombs, right, So did they make they had the
Speaker 1: seven planes, did they make two passes or did they
Speaker 1: they drop them like you know, drop one, drop the
Speaker 1: next one or do you know how that works?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So, so my understanding is that in four dough they
Speaker 3: dropped two of them and that one of the the
Speaker 3: So there were two passes over four dough which is
Speaker 3: the very fortified one that I just mentioned. Now, the
Speaker 3: other nuclear site, Natans, was also hy but but one
Speaker 3: pass in that in that case, and then the third
Speaker 3: site is found is above ground facilities. Those weren't hit
Speaker 3: with the bunker busters because there wasn't underground facilities to hit.
Speaker 3: In that case, it was actually Tomahawk missiles fired from submarine.
Speaker 3: So so this was a multifaceted attack, and and those
Speaker 3: submarines were actually those those missiles from the submarine were
Speaker 3: actually launched before the B two bombers flew over their
Speaker 3: their sites. And it was all done in a in
Speaker 3: a synchronized, coordinated way. Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay. And then on some of the news shows which
Speaker 1: I've been watching obsessively since this all happened, there were
Speaker 1: there has been some talk of some trucks outside the
Speaker 1: nuclear facilities. Do we know if Iran was able to
Speaker 1: get some of the uranium out or is it all
Speaker 1: just speculation until we can do more intel and find
Speaker 1: out what kind of damage was done.
Speaker 3: At this point, we don't know, but it certainly would
Speaker 3: be plausible that they would try to do that at
Speaker 3: anticipation of a potential attack on their sites. Now, those
Speaker 3: satellite images showing the cargo trucks, some fourteen of them
Speaker 3: outside of four Doah, the entrances would suggest that perhaps
Speaker 3: the Iranians decided to transport some of the fissile materials,
Speaker 3: some of the enriched uranium out of that area. Now.
Speaker 3: JD Vance, the Vice President, on our program on Sunday,
Speaker 3: suggested that Iran knows where that is, or at least
Speaker 3: is in possession of the enriched uranium, suggesting that it
Speaker 3: wasn't destroyed in the attack, that it's not at this
Speaker 3: point underneath rubble, because he said, and I'm paraphrasing here,
Speaker 3: that this is something the US will discuss with a
Speaker 3: ron in the coming days and weeks what to do
Speaker 3: with that uranium. Now we know there's almost nine hundred
Speaker 3: pounds of it, and we know that it was enriched
Speaker 3: at a high level, close to weapons grade, so it
Speaker 3: certainly will be a concern. The IAEA, which is the
Speaker 3: authority on this, the UN Watchdog, also says at this
Speaker 3: point it doesn't know where that uranium is.
Speaker 1: Okay. Chris Baccia with ABC News and at the Pentagon
Speaker 1: appreciate the information and the insight. Take care, Yes, you too,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.
Speaker 1: California Democrats have condemned President Trump's decision to bomb it
Speaker 1: Runs nuclear facilities. Senator Adam Schiff on CNN's State of
Speaker 1: the Union said, this is an operation that should have
Speaker 1: never been authorized by the president.
Speaker 7: In the absence of intelligence showing that iron had made
Speaker 7: the decision to break out and build a bomb. The
Speaker 7: intelligence I've seen, and it's been limited, indicates that Iran
Speaker 7: had certainly enriched uranium, but had not made the decision
Speaker 7: to build a bomb.
Speaker 1: Shift says the president should have gotten congressional approval.
Speaker 7: But there's a reason to bring this to Congress, and
Speaker 7: it is you want the Congress bought in. You want
Speaker 7: the American people bought in on an action this substantial
Speaker 7: that could lead to a major outbreak of war.
Speaker 1: Iran's Foreign minister has headed to Moscow for what are
Speaker 1: being called urgent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin following
Speaker 1: the US air strikes. The foreign ministers is Russia and
Speaker 1: Iran have a strategic partnership and always consult with each
Speaker 1: other as close allies. The Kremlin has helped Iran with
Speaker 1: its civilian nuclear program in exchange for supplying Russia with
Speaker 1: military drones for its war in Ukraine. The Compton Cowboys
Speaker 1: have led a horseback ride from Paramount to Compton City
Speaker 1: Hall to protest immigration enforcement across southern California. The ride
Speaker 1: yesterday began where federal agents clashed with demonstrators earlier this month.
Speaker 1: Organizers like Hector Mercado told KTLA the fear in students
Speaker 1: is growing and urged locals to take a stand.
Speaker 5: You can see the fear in this cam.
Speaker 9: There are the uncertainty of.
Speaker 6: What's going to happen tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Am I going to lose my parents?
Speaker 6: We're directly impacted, by hope, by this immigration situation.
Speaker 1: It's kind of to the point where you know, just
Speaker 1: by the color of your skin, you're getting picked up.
Speaker 1: Writers and community leaders called for solidarity between black and
Speaker 1: brown communities. A new scam has scammers post opposing is
Speaker 1: law enforcement threatening you with arrest if you don't pay
Speaker 1: a jury duty citation. There's been a recent spike in
Speaker 1: at least ten states, and Judge Douglas Cole is with
Speaker 1: the Southern District of Ohio where it's been happening.
Speaker 9: The first contact from the court is always going to
Speaker 9: be mailed. But again the key point is they're never
Speaker 9: going to call and ask you for money or tell you, hey,
Speaker 9: we need you to pay this to make this arrest
Speaker 9: warr go away, or something like that.
Speaker 1: Officially say this scam is also happening in California, and
Speaker 1: an Altadena family who lost their home and the Eaten
Speaker 1: fires now competing on America's Got Talent.
Speaker 4: The Ben family has lived in Altadena for generations, making
Speaker 4: music and a home, and all one hundred or so
Speaker 4: family members lost everything in the Eton fire. Now, Lauren
Speaker 4: Ben says six of them came together to form the
Speaker 4: Ben Family Band and hopefully get a shot at rebuilding
Speaker 4: their lives one note.
Speaker 1: At a time. Will this is the right time?
Speaker 3: Mom?
Speaker 4: Laurie Ben says, AGT is away for their family to heal.
Speaker 5: Many times. Out of the ashes, will come beautiful thing.
Speaker 4: Fans think they might get the Golden buzzer. You can
Speaker 4: see what the judges think on Tuesday's episode of AGT.
Speaker 4: Heather Brooker KFI News.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I need to watch america'scut talent again.
Speaker 1: This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County,
