WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:04.200 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.439 with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:16.079 KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 4 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:22.920 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. 5 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:28.480 Good morning. 6 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.799 This is your wake up call for Thursday, March thirteenth. 7 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.399 I'm Amy King. It's five o'clock straight up. Time to 8 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.520 get going, and you might want to get on it. 9 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.200 No dilly dallying this morning, because you should probably leave 10 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:46.880 a little bit early. As a news person, I would 11 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.439 never tell you what to do. As the host of 12 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.039 wake up Call, I'm gonna tell you slow down and 13 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.640 go and get on the road a little bit early 14 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.280 because it's probably gonna take you a little longer. When 15 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.240 I was driving in this morning, I was driving like 16 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.479 a ninety year old woman on the freeway. I was 17 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.240 going like fifty miles an hour and there were people 18 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.280 passing me, and I was like, well, good on you, 19 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.280 that's fine. But then on my way in, I hit 20 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:13.239 several big puddles and was hydroplaning. And that is the 21 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.159 scariest thing because you have no control when you hit 22 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.959 those the deep water and your car loses traction, and 23 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.319 Will's going to be telling us about that all morning 24 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.840 because there's a lot of recks out there, and I 25 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.480 would imagine it's just gonna get worse. 26 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.000 Yeah, Okay, I switched. 27 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.719 Things up a little bit today. Wanted to share the 28 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.000 news with you. I normally have oatmeal. I'm having cream 29 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.120 of wheat this morning. What I know, breaking out of 30 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.280 my box. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. A 31 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.760 flash flood warning is expiring pretty much right now for 32 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.400 the Eton and Sunset burned scars, but a flood advisory 33 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.920 remains in effect for much of southern California. Six o'clock 34 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.200 tonight is when that goes in two and it's lots 35 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.439 of areas Thousand Oaks, Malibu, North Hollywood, Burbank, Van Nuy's, 36 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.959 Universal City, Griffith Park, Hollywood and Sino Northridge, Beverly Hills, 37 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:10.960 Santa Clarita, Downtown, La Chatsworth, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills, Pasadena, Alta, Dina, Alhambra, 38 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.520 Mount Wilson, and Agra Hills. 39 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.960 So just a couple of areas. 40 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.919 Snow is falling in the Grapevine, but the roadway does 41 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.000 remain open. Will's going to keep us up to date 42 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.639 on whether that's going to change. Snow is also falling 43 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.439 in Big Bear Lake and on our eagles on the 44 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.759 nest where Jackie and Shadow are protecting their young eaglets, 45 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.879 and the snow is blowing. I'd like to see the 46 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.919 snowfall nice and soft on the nest, but it's blowing. 47 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.639 But Jackie's there, she's protecting the kids. 48 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.240 It's raining now, so we might not be thinking about 49 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.639 protecting our homes against wildfire, but now is the time 50 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.919 to do it. We'll give you some hints on how 51 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.439 you can protect your house and make sure that it 52 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.039 doesn't become a victim of a wildfire. We're going to 53 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.599 be talking with the Wildfire Division director of the National 54 00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.919 Fire Protection Association. 55 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:00.680 That's coming up. 56 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.360 At five point fifty. Wiggle Waggle Walk is also coming up. 57 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.719 We're going to be talking with Kevin McManus at Pasadena Humane. 58 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.960 He's going to tell us how the money you donate 59 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.240 when you walk with us is making a huge difference 60 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.479 for thousands of animals in southern California. Let's get started 61 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.000 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 62 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.840 twenty four hour newsroom. Heavy rain has moved into southern California. 63 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.639 The storm has led to evacuation orders, flood warnings, and 64 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:32.000 road closures, especially in the burn areas that include Pacific Palisades, Hollywood, Silmar, 65 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.439 and Sierra Madre. Forecasters say La County could see nearly 66 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.800 an inch of rain per hour during the peak of 67 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.479 the storm. All evacuation orders and warnings are in effect 68 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.719 until six tonight. The National Weather Services the rain is 69 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.319 expected to linger into tomorrow before it clears up ahead 70 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.000 of the weekend. Snow's expected at elevations as low as 71 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.840 twenty five hundred to three thousand feet. As we mentioned 72 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.479 snow's falling in the Grapevine. Also in Big Bear News 73 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.719 brought to you by Simper, Solaris three in La been 74 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.240 charged with fraud for allegedly filing false claims for federal 75 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.000 disaster relief from the fires in January. Acting US Attorney 76 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.240 Joseph McNally says the trio defrauded taxpayers and took advantage 77 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.759 of those suffering from the tragedy. 78 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.439 That included false claims to damages to property that the 79 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.480 defendants did not own, rent, or live in, as well 80 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.839 as false claims of damage to property that was not 81 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.319 affected by the wildfires. 82 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.600 McNally says FEMA tries to get relief money to victims quickly, 83 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.480 and that creates an industry of fraud because many times 84 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.040 claims are not vetted right away. Officials in San Bernardino 85 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.800 County say a report of a possible shooter at Loma 86 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.319 Linda University Medical Center was bogus. Sheriff Shannon Dika says, 87 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.199 it appears to be a swatting hall. 88 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.240 It does sound like we. 89 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.959 Do have some evidence available on this specific suspect. I'm 90 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.759 going to be very vague about sharing any of that 91 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.120 with you right now because the one thing I want 92 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.560 this suspect to know this is the wrong county to 93 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:58.240 do those things. 94 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.600 In the hospital was evacuated yesterday. Some people were told 95 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.079 to shelter in places. Pillice searched the buildings. People who 96 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.360 were there say they were told it was not a 97 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.720 drill and that words like hide, run, and fight were used. 98 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.600 They say it was very scary. The mayor of San 99 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.000 Jose has a plan to arrest homeless people if they 100 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:17.839 refuse to get help. 101 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.839 Mayor Matt Mahon tells KFI his idea would force people 102 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.959 into housing or face arrest if they refuse three times 103 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.600 in an eighteen month period. 104 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.160 Police officer could arrest the person for trespassing, that our 105 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.560 city attorney could press charges with the goal really of 106 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.120 getting them into our drug court. 107 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:33.480 He says. 108 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.720 The city has invested in two thousand interim houses and shelters, 109 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.720 and there's really no excuse not to take advantage of 110 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.879 these programs. He says over two hundred people die on 111 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.279 the streets of San Jose each year. Critics say his 112 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.079 plan would criminalize the homeless. 113 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.480 He's saying people don't want to get inside. That's not true. 114 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.759 The plan still has to go before the city Council 115 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.240 for a vote. How the Brooker KFI News. 116 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.319 Let's say good morning now to the National Weather Services 117 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:57.319 Aril Cohen. 118 00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:58.839 Good morning, Aril. 119 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.079 Good morning. Thank you for having me today. 120 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.680 Hey, thanks for making some time for us. Last time 121 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.120 we talked to you was in January because of dry, 122 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.000 dangerous conditions, and now we're talking to you because it's wet, 123 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.360 dangerous conditions. So it's been raining pretty good for the 124 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.279 last few hours. Tell us what's going on and is 125 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.399 this expected to continue. 126 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.079 We've had overnight quite a bit of rain in areas, 127 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.040 especially on the coast facing slopes of the mountains and 128 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.879 foothills across southern California mounts. Upwards of locally three inches 129 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.000 of rain fell in the mountains and foothills, with lesser 130 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.920 upwards of a half inch to an inch across many 131 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.199 of the lower elevations, including the Los Angeles Basin and 132 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.439 elsewhere up towards the Oxnard Plain. So you know, this 133 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.240 amount of rain fell relatively quickly, and we have many 134 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.319 airports of roadway flooding occur. We also didn't have i'mpacks 135 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.160 of the heavier rain over the burnt scars, so we 136 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.360 still have yet to see if we did experience anything 137 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.319 in the way of any debris flows or landslides. Also 138 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.160 over many areas steep terrain that certainly could have occurred 139 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.199 over the overnight hours, and so everyone who's going out 140 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.480 and about on the roads this morning is just encouraged 141 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.759 to travel very carefully. Never drive through a flooded roadway, 142 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.639 turn around, don't drown. Even after the heaviest rains of 143 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.720 pushing off into areas farther to the south and southern California, 144 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.759 we still could have those lingering impacts from the heavy 145 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.560 rains overnight in areas where any rock slides or mudslides 146 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.920 or to brief flows occurred, those will be especially dangerous 147 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.959 areas for travel, so again, just be very cautious when 148 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.839 you're traveling out in about today. Turn around, don't drown, 149 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.759 never drive through flooded roadway. Over the next several hours, 150 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.959 we are expecting, despite the heavier rains having pushed through 151 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.160 the area, intermittent moderate rains, so some showers moving through 152 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.160 the area as the core of the upper level whether 153 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.000 disturbance moves across the region. Showers won't last long at 154 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.519 any given location, but we could pick up a quick 155 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.639 quarter inch or so, and if that were to occur 156 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.040 over some of the burn scar locations, that could exacerbate 157 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.959 the risk for debris flows and flooding. So everyone should 158 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.279 stay at a high state of readiness as we head 159 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.360 through the day as we're not done with this activity 160 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.839 quite yet. Also want to mention, although it's highly unlikely 161 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.600 the kind of weather pattern that we're going to be 162 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.120 having over southern California as favorable for the development of 163 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.160 a few thunderstorms to affect the region, and with that 164 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.279 activity can't roll out some very small hail what we 165 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.759 call groppel. The meteorology field, and also a couple funnel clouds. 166 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.399 It can't be ruled out. While very unlikely, there's at 167 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.519 least a very small chance for a couple small, brief 168 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.000 and weak tornadoes as we have a lot of spin 169 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.200 in the atmosphere moving through. So we're not out of 170 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.200 the woods in terms of weather houses just yet. Just 171 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.720 to encourage everyone to stay weather ready and if you 172 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.240 are vulnerable to these conditions, make sure you have a 173 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.240 quick access to a safe place endoorse okay. 174 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.799 And then a quick question for you, Ariol. 175 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.000 You said that there's going to be intermittent storms and 176 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.759 maybe some brief periods of kind of heavy rain. But 177 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.639 even after the rain moves out, those burn scars are soaked. 178 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.960 So is it possible to have mud and debris flows 179 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.360 like a couple of days after the rain stops. 180 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.159 Oh, even weeks afterward. And certainly we saw that a 181 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.399 year ago when we had mud slides impacting portions of 182 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.200 the Santa Monica's, especially around Hollywood and by Hilly Hills, 183 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.559 going on for weeks after the very heavy rain ended. 184 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.240 We do have another round of some light to maybe 185 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.759 moderate rain coming through again, you know, in the next 186 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.519 couple of days and so we're not going to be 187 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.559 out of the woods.

That 248 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.120 led to the I Robot CEO quitting and about half 249 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.879 the workforce getting let go. The company now says it 250 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.159 has substantial doubt about its ability to continue, and after 251 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.039 that remark, yesterday shares for the company plunged more than 252 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.519 thirty percent.

Bill's 300 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.879 going to tell you what's next. But right now, let's 301 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:29.480 say good morning to ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem, so Jordana. 302 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.919 President Trump sent a letter to Iran's Supreme leader and 303 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.159 said he wants to negotiate a deal with Iran, but 304 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.679 Irana says no, that's right. 305 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.679 The Supreme Leader, Iolajomene, gave a speech in which he 306 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:51.039 said that you know he is not going to engage 307 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.799 in negotiations with President Trump, and he mentioned that President 308 00:15:55.879 --> 00:16:00.559 Trump pulled out of a deal that Iran negotiated with 309 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:06.399 the United States back in twenty fourteen under former President 310 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.320 Barack Obama. And when Trump came into power the first 311 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.399 time during his first term, he pulled the United States 312 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.759 out of that deal. So Homione was basically saying, why 313 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.840 am I going to engage and talks with you again 314 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.360 when you pulled out of a deal that Iran already signed. 315 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.440 Homione also said he's not going to engage in talks. Well, 316 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.320 the United States has tightening sanctions and under what other 317 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:36.240 officials have called threats. And thirdly, he said that hey, 318 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.399 you know, Iran has not developed nuclear weapons and if 319 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.039 they wanted to, they would have already done it. There's 320 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.639 nothing United States can do. All of that, of course, 321 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.480 has to be taken with a grain of salt, because 322 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.720 there is a lot of evidence that Iran has been 323 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:57.600 pursuing a secret nuclear weapons program for a very long time, 324 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:03.480 and they've enriched uranium up to sixty percent. They have 325 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:08.200 a lot of this highly enriched uranium which very quickly 326 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:13.079 can be weaponized. And what the international community thinks, the US, 327 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.240 the UN, and Israel, by the way, believe iron could 328 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:21.000 produce anywhere between four and six nuclear warheads. The problem 329 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.400 the Iranians have is actually putting those warheads on missiles 330 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.039 and deploying them. But you know that's one or two 331 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.079 years away. So this is a serious situation. We're going 332 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.319 to have to see what comes next. 333 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.240 Okay, and so Jordana, you're are you saying that they 334 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.680 right now could build warheads if they wanted to, or 335 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.039 they're getting close to that point. 336 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.799 They could very Yet they they have the material to 337 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:51.160 easily weaponize from sixty percent to ninety percent, which is 338 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.640 what you need to weaponize enriched uranium. They have large 339 00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:00.160 amounts of sixty percent. And the international for example, the 340 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.799 u N, the i a e A, the International Atomic 341 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:08.319 Energy Agency, has said that Iran has enough material that 342 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.759 it could quickly have enough material for three or four 343 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.839 or five or six the estimates between four and six 344 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.559 nuclear warheads. Now, what Iran can't do is put them 345 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:26.160 on a missile yet and deploy them. Right what becomes 346 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.000 so they're they're still. 347 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.599 Clothes, Yeah, and then what becomes concerning on that is 348 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:35.640 that as things shift and new alliances are made, that 349 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.240 they could make a deal with Russia, they could make 350 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.160 a deal with North Korea or China and get those 351 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.359 warheads or get the rockets. 352 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.880 That they need for them. Yeah, get the means. Yes, yes, yes, 353 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.039 they're they've been trying to uh, you know, to get 354 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:57.000 that technology to build those uh you know, to build 355 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:01.200 the warheads, you know, uh, the shell if you will, 356 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:07.079 all right to hold to all the nuclear material, it's clear. 357 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:07.400 I mean. 358 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.119 One of the reasons that President Trump pulled out of 359 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.680 the nuclear deal back in twenty and seventeen was that 360 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.039 he felt it didn't put enough restrictions on Iran and 361 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.400 there were all kinds of what they called sunset clauses 362 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.319 that actually were due to expire now in twenty twenty five, 363 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.400 and he didn't feel that it was really a deal 364 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.200 that had enough peace for example, put no limits on 365 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.480 their R and D for centrifuges or developing, for example, 366 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.559 the capability to deploy these nuclear warheads. 367 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.880 Though the deal did. 368 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:47.920 Keep Iran's enriched material, you know, the levels which it 369 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.359 could enrich very low, around three point seventy three point 370 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.160 eight percent. Since the United States pulled out, Iran has 371 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.440 leapt forward and enriched uranium very very high levels now. 372 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:04.319 As so, you know, it looks like Iran right now 373 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:06.880 is not going to play game and talk with. 374 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:07.640 The United States. 375 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.160 But let's remember Iran doesn't have a lot of great 376 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.519 options right now. Their economy is terrible. They've just taken 377 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.440 a huge hit from Israel in this war. Right when 378 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.079 I say that, I mean they're proxy has Ballah has 379 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:26.400 been really heavily, heavily, heavily damaged, and Israel took out 380 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.319 a lot of their air defense systems around their nuclear facilities. 381 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.599 So they're in a very weak position right now. And 382 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.680 their economy remains very weakened, in terrible shape, so, you know, 383 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.160 and with Russia talking to the United States, they can't 384 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:42.400 really look to Russia. 385 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:43.279 For a lot of help. 386 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:47.400 And they've just lost Syria as an ally, right, so 387 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.160 Iran's in a bad position. So they are probably gonna, 388 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.480 you know, come around, but right now they're staking out 389 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.079 a very you know, strident position. 390 00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:00.839 Yeah, and it's an interesting dance because they want to 391 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.599 appear strong even if they're not, so they've got to 392 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.079 kind of make their moves very carefully, you know, I mean, 393 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.160 I get it. It's all just a big game of chess. 394 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.799 But all right, Geordana Miller, thanks for the updated information. 395 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.559 We appreciate it. 396 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.519 Yep, we'll talk soon, all right. 397 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:19.000 Take care. 398 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.160 Public health officials in la are advising beach goers to 399 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.480 stay out of the water, although it's raining and cold, 400 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:26.640 so why would you want to go in?
