Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: President Trump will be speaking and letting us know updates
Speaker 2: as well as other information that is vital for this
Speaker 2: conversation and this ongoing conflict. So we are speaking about
Speaker 2: this conflict in Iran.
Speaker 3: It is breaking news.
Speaker 2: About an hour ago now, the United States, as authored
Speaker 2: by President Trump in a social media post on truth
Speaker 2: social entered into the Iranian Israeli conflict in the fact
Speaker 2: that we launched or excuse me, that we struck three
Speaker 2: nuclear sites in Iran. Six primary nuclear facilities are in
Speaker 2: that region at least, and we struck three of them,
Speaker 2: including the most significant one in the area of four
Speaker 2: to doh So. President Trump also went on to say
Speaker 2: that all American airplanes, all US fighter jets, were out
Speaker 2: of Iranian airspace and on their way home safely. We
Speaker 2: did get a talkback, and I encourage you definitely to
Speaker 2: take to the talkback right there on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Hit that little button and let us know how you
Speaker 2: feel about what's happening. We're also going to have a
Speaker 2: UCLA professor, Ben Rad is his name, and he's coming
Speaker 2: on at six point twenty to discuss this conflict. From
Speaker 2: a more academic standpoint, he's an expert in this and
Speaker 2: he'll be able to definitely give us further clarity on
Speaker 2: what's going on. But you take to the talkbacks, let
Speaker 2: us know what are you thinking, how are you feeling
Speaker 2: about what's going on now with the US entering into
Speaker 2: this conflict.
Speaker 3: We have one talk back here.
Speaker 4: Hey, dere Tiffany, this is one of your fans. I
Speaker 4: live in Malli County. I listened to you when you're
Speaker 4: on MO. You are so good, girl, You are so clear,
Speaker 4: no wonder you're a teacher with kids with special needs.
Speaker 4: You're just really good. And Okay, that's all. I just
Speaker 4: wanted to give you a pat on the back.
Speaker 2: Aloha, Aloha to you, and thank you. It's so incredibly sweet.
Speaker 2: So we do know some information about what happened over
Speaker 2: there in Iran. Of course, again, we were successful, according
Speaker 2: to President Trump, in launching those attacks that hit three
Speaker 2: Iranian nuclear sites. They three of them were in fact hit.
Speaker 2: This comes now two weeks into the conflict, and just
Speaker 2: within the last twenty four hours forty eight hours, Israel
Speaker 2: or the Israeli military said that it killed three top
Speaker 2: commanders from Iran.
Speaker 3: So that has not yet.
Speaker 2: Been confirmed by Iran, But now that we have entered
Speaker 2: into this conflict, there are lots of questions about what
Speaker 2: could potentially happen next.
Speaker 3: Here are some of the questions.
Speaker 2: Of course, the number one question is how will Iran respond?
Speaker 2: We hit three of their nuclear sites, got out of there,
Speaker 2: and now Iran is picking up those pieces. How will
Speaker 2: they respond? Do they have the will and the remaining
Speaker 2: capacity to launch attacks on United States basis and our
Speaker 2: interests or even US civilians, whether here or in the
Speaker 2: Middle East?
Speaker 3: How will Iran respond?
Speaker 2: That's definitely a prominent question on the minds of many.
Speaker 2: Another question, of course, is and speaking about the quote
Speaker 2: unquote success of the attacks, how successful were they? How
Speaker 2: successful were these attacks, these strikes, especially at that site Bordo,
Speaker 2: which is subterranean, and we heard doctor wat Simmons explain
Speaker 2: what subterranean sites actually involve, they what they entail. So
Speaker 2: how successful were these strikes? How badly injured was the
Speaker 2: Fordal site? And will the United States need to go
Speaker 2: back with more bombing raids that could make this war
Speaker 2: even more prolonged.
Speaker 3: It's two weeks into the conflict.
Speaker 2: Are we looking at something that is going to elongate
Speaker 2: itself into months into potentially longer than that. The questions
Speaker 2: are all very open ended right now, but undoubtedly being asked.
Speaker 2: Another question, another big question that's coming out of this
Speaker 2: United States entering into the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Speaker 2: How will presidents President Trump's play How will this mission
Speaker 2: and this assignment issued by President Trump play out politically?
Speaker 2: There's a lot of conversation that will turn political. I've
Speaker 2: seen comparisons to previous administrations saying that they didn't launch
Speaker 2: strikes in this region on Iran for fear of different
Speaker 2: sorts of retaliation because of the nuclear capacity. But President
Speaker 2: Trump has in fact launched this strike. So how will
Speaker 2: this play out politically? This conflict might be being ignited
Speaker 2: without the full approval of the Congress, and how will
Speaker 2: that then play into the political conversation? And then what
Speaker 2: will the political impact be in Iran? These attacks are
Speaker 2: undoubtedly a huge blow to Iranian leadership, and as we
Speaker 2: did learn Israel's claiming that three top commanders were killed
Speaker 2: in recent strikes, what were their political responsibilities? Where were
Speaker 2: they in the Iranian leadership? Could these attacks unleash forces
Speaker 2: that could trigger a toppling of the revolutionary regime or
Speaker 2: even a splintering of the country that could send shockwaves
Speaker 2: throughout the region. So there are lots and lots and
Speaker 2: lots of questions. Again, at seven pm hour time, President
Speaker 2: Trump will give a He'll address the nation to let
Speaker 2: us know updates about what's happening, where those military planes are,
Speaker 2: the success of the strikes, and what to expect in
Speaker 2: the coming hours and days as the United States has
Speaker 2: entered into the conflict between Iran and Israel and will
Speaker 2: continue following this story undoubtedly throughout the night into the
Speaker 2: morning tomorrow as well. This is the biggest breaking news globally,
Speaker 2: and we'll have it right here on KFI IM six
Speaker 2: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: Breaking news out of Iran that happened a little earlier
Speaker 2: this evening the United States. According to President Trump, in
Speaker 2: a post on truth Social, the social media platform that
Speaker 2: he owns, President Trump said that the United States launched
Speaker 2: a quote unquote successful attack on three Iranian nuclear sites,
Speaker 2: and he went on to say that one of those
Speaker 2: sites included in the three is the most significant nuclear
Speaker 2: facility in the region. So we're tracking this information. As
Speaker 2: of now. President Trump did say that our military aircraft
Speaker 2: were out of Iranian airspace and on their way home safely.
Speaker 2: But to get more clarity, to have more insight on
Speaker 2: what's going on in this region and now what it
Speaker 2: means for the United States to enter into this conflict
Speaker 2: between Israel and Iran. We have senior fellow UCLA professor
Speaker 2: Ben rad On. He's a lecturer of global studies, International
Speaker 2: and area studies, and a political science I would say, uh,
Speaker 2: professor or professional in the UCLA College. I went to
Speaker 2: USC so it's hard for me to get these things
Speaker 2: out right. Ben rad is also an expert on government
Speaker 2: and politics in the Middle East, particularly Iran, and on
Speaker 2: US foreign policy. Professor rad thank you so much for
Speaker 2: coming on with us. There's so much going on. You're
Speaker 2: probably being pulled in so many directions, so thank you
Speaker 2: for your time.
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2: You're so welcome. So you study this, this is your
Speaker 2: lane you are. You're an expert in all things government
Speaker 2: and politics in the Middle East, specifically in the region
Speaker 2: that was just hit about an hour ago now by
Speaker 2: our United States Special forces and White House officials have
Speaker 2: said that they feel the US strikes in the region
Speaker 2: on these nuclear sites were very effective.
Speaker 3: What does that mean very effective?
Speaker 5: Well, partly, we want to wait for President Trump to
Speaker 5: give his announcement at seven o'clock when he addresses the nation.
Speaker 5: But it's way too soon to do a damage assessment,
Speaker 5: and we've yet to also hear from Arounnian officials, not
Speaker 5: that we would necessarily take their word for it, but
Speaker 5: it'll take some time for the United States to be
Speaker 5: able to gather the necessary intelligence, the photographs, the data
Speaker 5: collection to assess how impactful the strikes were. Were they
Speaker 5: impactful to some extent, of course, very very likely that
Speaker 5: they set back Around's nuclear weapons program, But whether it
Speaker 5: eliminated the threat of those facilities that were bombed the
Speaker 5: mains to be seen.
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 2: We have hurt, like you said, from the other side,
Speaker 2: and when President Trump comes on at seven pm hour time,
Speaker 2: he will likely give a lot of clarity to the
Speaker 2: questions that people are asking. Another question that's being asked
Speaker 2: is that will this encourage diplomacy? Will this encourage negotiations?
Speaker 2: So sources familiar with what's going on say that President
Speaker 2: Trump does, in fact hope that these attacks will encourage
Speaker 2: these negotiations subsequently leading to the end of this conflict.
Speaker 2: Do you see an imminent end in near you know,
Speaker 2: end near, or do you think that this is something
Speaker 2: that is going to take a lot more time than
Speaker 2: seemingly estimated.
Speaker 5: Well, we know that the strike was limited to those facilities,
Speaker 5: and senior officials have reported on background that the goal
Speaker 5: here is not regime change or regime destabilization. In other words,
Speaker 5: the United States is sending a message that this is
Speaker 5: about and only about the nuclear weapons and the nuclear
Speaker 5: program as a whole. So Iran can take that as
Speaker 5: it will. It could decide to now re engage in
Speaker 5: diplomacy on the conditions the United States offered several weeks ago,
Speaker 5: or it can choose to press ahead with this enrichment program,
Speaker 5: full acceleration towards weaponization and retaliate. We won't know what
Speaker 5: the option is. We don't know the internal struggles and
Speaker 5: pressures within the government right now. I'm the Supreme leader
Speaker 5: and his military officials, So I think it would be
Speaker 5: folly to try to predict which way they're going to go,
Speaker 5: other than to point out that they are under tremendous
Speaker 5: pressure and their options are limited because now they are
Speaker 5: fighting a multi front war with the United States and Israel.
Speaker 2: And that speaks to the capacity in the will that
Speaker 2: Iran might have to continue with this sort of aggression.
Speaker 2: And then what would the implications be on US civilians,
Speaker 2: whether in the Middle East or elsewhere. Is how dire
Speaker 2: is this situation for US civilians around the world.
Speaker 5: Well, again, this will all hinge on how Iran chooses
Speaker 5: to act upon this moment. It can, as it has
Speaker 5: in the past, engaged in acts of terrorism and other
Speaker 5: attacks against Americans, American forces, American civilians throughout the world,
Speaker 5: either directly or indirectly using proxy agents. However, this is
Speaker 5: a very different time. Iran's capacity and ability to do
Speaker 5: so are limited. And secondly, like I mentioned, it's fighting
Speaker 5: this now multi front war. It is way way overpowered
Speaker 5: and outmatched, and the question of whether it wants to
Speaker 5: engage down the road of further escalation, knowing that that
Speaker 5: can lead to regime destruction, is something that will have
Speaker 5: to weigh very heavily when it decides what to do next. So, again,
Speaker 5: to answer your question, we simply don't know the risks
Speaker 5: posed to American civilians or American forces because we don't
Speaker 5: know exactly how the Iranians will take this opportunity.
Speaker 2: Professor Ratt, I'm going to ask you to tap into
Speaker 2: your political science background for just one moment. Can you
Speaker 2: briefly sum up an explanation as to how you feel
Speaker 2: this play, this strategy will potentially affect President Trump politically
Speaker 2: if at all.
Speaker 5: We know that in the last few days there's been
Speaker 5: an internal debate, actually made very public within the GOP,
Speaker 5: within the MAGA movement, as to whether or not President
Speaker 5: Trump should engage Iran directly and bomb It seems like
Speaker 5: in the last few days there were many on the
Speaker 5: anti interventionist side who came around and concluded that a
Speaker 5: limited engagement would be consistent or would be okay with them.
Speaker 5: We now need to see if this bombing is contained.
Speaker 5: In other words, if it ends here, meaning there's no
Speaker 5: further involvement, no US force is sent directly, troops boots
Speaker 5: on the ground. It's possible then that this will have
Speaker 5: minimal to no impact from his critics within the GOP.
Speaker 5: As far as those who were supporting him to engage directly, well,
Speaker 5: they're going to be thrilled and elated, especially if this
Speaker 5: brings her on to the negotiating table or brings about
Speaker 5: a quick end to the conflict. It's too soon to
Speaker 5: tell again which way that will go, though, I right
Speaker 5: now I'm leaning that this might be viewed more favorably
Speaker 5: by his supporters than disfavorably.
Speaker 2: Professor Ben Ratt is a senior Fellow and lecturer of
Speaker 2: Global Studies, International and Area Studies, and Political science at UCLA.
Speaker 2: He's also a government or an expert on government and
Speaker 2: politics in the Middle East, and that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Professor Ratt, thank you so very much for coming on
Speaker 2: with us. I hope you're able to get some sleep
Speaker 2: tonight because it's definitely a busy and tumultuous time. Thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you, You're so welcome. We'll continue this conversation on
Speaker 2: the other side of the break. Remember we are watching
Speaker 2: out for that seven PM addressed to the nation by
Speaker 2: President Trump, where he will undoubtedly share with us updates
Speaker 2: about the situation in Iran, share insight about whether it
Speaker 2: was successful and what success actually means, what that entails,
Speaker 2: and clear up any of the confusion that is now
Speaker 2: left in the ether about what we are doing in
Speaker 2: this region and what's to come in the coming days.
Speaker 3: We're continuing to.
Speaker 2: Follow this situation out of Iran. It's breaking news and
Speaker 2: it is the biggest story, and we have it right
Speaker 2: here on KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: We're following, of course, all of this breaking news out
Speaker 2: of Iran. It is now Sunday morning, just after five
Speaker 2: am in Iran, but Saturday night, which it is still
Speaker 2: Saturday here, but it is Sunday there, Saturday evening in Iran.
Speaker 2: President Trump did share with the nation via a truth
Speaker 2: social post that US military forces completed what he has
Speaker 2: can considering to be a successful missile airstrike in Iranian
Speaker 2: territory which did hit three Iranian nuclear sites. Three sites
Speaker 2: were hit, including the most formidable, the most significant site
Speaker 2: in Floridah in the area of Floridoh. And a little
Speaker 2: bit about this Floridoh facility. It's buried deep in the
Speaker 2: mountains in the northern part of the country. It's subterranean,
Speaker 2: is what our experts have shared with us. And we
Speaker 2: had Professor Bin Radd and doctor Walter Simmons on to
Speaker 2: share with us about their knowledge of the region and
Speaker 2: militarized offense now in Iran. So the Fodoh facility that
Speaker 2: was hit is buried deep in the mountains and subterranean.
Speaker 2: Its subterranean and it houses advanced centrifuges used to enrich
Speaker 2: uranium up to high grades of purity. It is a
Speaker 2: nuclear facility. It was believed that only US bunker buster
Speaker 2: bombs would be able to damage the facility due to
Speaker 2: its depth, but President Trump is saying that the attacks
Speaker 2: in that area, including on this facility, were in fact successful.
Speaker 3: We have some talkbacks. I did ask you to go to.
Speaker 2: Your talkbacks to the talkback feature to share with us
Speaker 2: how you feel about everything that's going on, and want
Speaker 2: to make sure that we get those played ready for it.
Speaker 6: The only thing I can see us doing in Iran
Speaker 6: is exactly what we just did is bomb some sites.
Speaker 6: The people want a coup, The people want the old
Speaker 6: regen out, so we don't need to go in there
Speaker 6: and occupy Iran. That'll be done by Israel and the
Speaker 6: Iranian people themselves. So we may drop bombs and destroy
Speaker 6: nuclear facilities, but I do not see us going in
Speaker 6: there as an occupying force.
Speaker 1: Not going to happen.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the next one.
Speaker 7: Professor from UCLA was great.
Speaker 8: He was all about the facts and good analysis and
Speaker 8: no a personal opinion. He was just sticking to what
Speaker 8: was really happening. And that's refreshing to hear from somebody
Speaker 8: who's a college professor.
Speaker 3: It was. That was Professor bin Rad of UCLA. I
Speaker 3: don't usually give big.
Speaker 2: Ups to UCLA being a trojan myself, but in this case,
Speaker 2: Professor bin Rad was fantastic.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to our final one.
Speaker 7: A genius move by Trump because Trump told them that
Speaker 7: he would be making a decision within the next two weeks,
Speaker 7: and they're thinking. Iran is thinking they have time to
Speaker 7: get some military aid from some of their allies, and
Speaker 7: then kaboom, Trump.
Speaker 8: Lets him have it, and he kept it to the.
Speaker 7: Nuclear sites, which is exactly what needed to happen.
Speaker 2: Kaboom is correct, kaboom three times, apparently at the very least,
Speaker 2: because three nuclear sites were in fact hit in that
Speaker 2: air strike in Iranian territory, hitting again the most formidable
Speaker 2: of those nuclear sites in the area of Fourdoh. Thank
Speaker 2: you for your talkbacks. Please continue to send them in
Speaker 2: hit that talkback button on the iHeart app. I love
Speaker 2: to hear what you're thinking, how you are affected by
Speaker 2: all of this, because we're in conversation. You might be listening,
Speaker 2: but I'm also listening to you when you share your thoughts,
Speaker 2: and I love to share them on air so that
Speaker 2: we all can be in that conversation together. So we're
Speaker 2: getting all this information as we know. Now here's what
Speaker 2: we know. The US struck those three nuclear sites in Iran.
Speaker 2: There are at least six nuclear facilities in that area
Speaker 2: in that region of Iran, with others to the north
Speaker 2: and to the west as well of the country. Of
Speaker 2: those six that are there, the US's strategy did in
Speaker 2: fact strike three of them using a stealth intercontinental multi
Speaker 2: roll heavy bomber called the B two Spirit. These are
Speaker 2: B too military aircraft and they can carry quite a bit.
Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of pounds is what we have learned
Speaker 2: as well. That now posits the United States directly within
Speaker 2: this conflict between Israel and Eern and a lot of
Speaker 2: questions are coming in now about what that means, when
Speaker 2: will this, will this continue? In fact, was this kind
Speaker 2: of a stick and go and be done with admission?
Speaker 2: Or is this now going to be on going, and
Speaker 2: President Trump will speak to the nation in an address
Speaker 2: at seven pm to share updates about everything that went
Speaker 2: on and to clear up the questions that we all
Speaker 2: certainly have. Let me tell you a little bit more
Speaker 2: about that Fordo facility that's buried deep in the mountains,
Speaker 2: one of the facilities that was hit. The deputy Security
Speaker 2: governor of Isfahan confirmed the Isfahan and Nantas facilities in
Speaker 2: central Iran were also attacked. Those are that makes up
Speaker 2: the two of the three. The Fordo, Isfahan and Natan's
Speaker 2: facilities were attacked. That's confirmed by the deputy Security governor
Speaker 2: of Isfahan. He went on to say, quote, we witnessed
Speaker 2: intrusions near the nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natans. He
Speaker 2: added that air defenses had been activated to quote confront
Speaker 2: hostile targets, but several explosions were heard. That's what's quoted
Speaker 2: by the governor through their news agencies. It is also
Speaker 2: being reported that the facilities in that region had been
Speaker 2: previously evacuated. That was according to Iranian media. That will
Speaker 2: certainly add some light or shed some light on potential
Speaker 2: casualties and human consequences of that military strike.
Speaker 3: When we come back.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Michael Monks, of course, and
Speaker 2: find out what he's talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you can all guess.
Speaker 2: And we'll continue with updates as we follow this huge
Speaker 2: global story about the United States entering into the aggression
Speaker 2: between Israel and Iran Saturday evening, just a few hours
Speaker 2: ago in Iran, it's Sunday morning there, just after five am.
Speaker 2: We're in it now and we hit three nuclear sites.
Speaker 2: What does it all mean? We'll continue the conversation on
Speaker 2: the other side of the BREAKFI AM six forty live
Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app tifnany Hobbs here with you until.
Speaker 1: Seven you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: When can we have a Saturday where we can just relax?
Speaker 3: Not lately nor Yeah, there's just precedented, unprecedented.
Speaker 2: It's just I would love to be on the side
Speaker 2: where that we can ease into the weekend.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 9: I went to Whole Foods to grab some dinner tonight
Speaker 9: on the way in and I was just like, you
Speaker 9: know what, I hope it's just a nice chill evening.
Speaker 9: There's no protest, there's no drama. Literally, as I'm on
Speaker 9: the elevator. The boss is calling, going ware does Mamba ran?
Speaker 9: And I'm like, oh, like.
Speaker 3: No protests, but a slight side of World War three? Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh gosh, I hope not.
Speaker 10: I hope.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: We're going to rebuke that. We're going to rebuke it.
Speaker 3: And we don't know yet.
Speaker 2: We just don't know exactly what this entering into the
Speaker 2: aggression is going too unfold to be. We don't know
Speaker 2: if this was kind of a calculated warning shot, if
Speaker 2: it did in fact decimate completely the nuclear capabilities of Eron.
Speaker 2: We don't know, but we'll certainly find out more about
Speaker 2: the United States air strike in Iran Saturday evening. It's
Speaker 2: now Sunday morning there in their region just a couple
Speaker 2: of hours ago, when President Trump takes to the podium
Speaker 2: at seven pm to share with us updates about the
Speaker 2: situation as well. Let me just recap a little bit
Speaker 2: more for you. As you heard there, we did strike
Speaker 2: three nuclear sites in Iran. There are about six major
Speaker 2: nuclear facilities in the country, and we hit three of them,
Speaker 2: with the most formidable, the most significant or serious of
Speaker 2: those nuclear facilities being located in the area of Foordoh
Speaker 2: And that region is subterranean. But President Trump and sources
Speaker 2: connected to the military are calling this offense, this offensive
Speaker 2: to be a successful attack. They're saying that this was
Speaker 2: in fact successful. We we'll find out what success actually
Speaker 2: means in terms of whether or not Iran's nuclear capabilities
Speaker 2: have now been drastically reduced or all together eliminated. But
Speaker 2: with Israel and Iran now entering into week number two
Speaker 2: of their aggression with each other, sources are reporting that
Speaker 2: Iran has been weakened militarily. Therefore a strike by the
Speaker 2: US would be very timely and convenient because their munitions,
Speaker 2: their defenses are in fact weaker than they were, say,
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. Michael Monks, what are you talking about tonight, buddy.
Speaker 3: Well, take a guess. Protests, Yeah, a little bit, actually,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 11: I mean, look, we still have local news happening in
Speaker 11: spite of what's happening globally. We're going to, obviously, because
Speaker 11: we are KFI News, going to bring you the president
Speaker 11: as soon as he starts talking. We're going to carry
Speaker 11: that live right here on AM six forty, and you
Speaker 11: will continue to cover what's going on in Iran throughout.
Speaker 11: By the way, I know you and I like to
Speaker 11: talk about how we pronounce things.
Speaker 3: Yes, what are you saying?
Speaker 11: You know what?
Speaker 3: I got to call? You know, I got to so
Speaker 3: Iran as well? Or are you getting something out?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 3: How do you say it?
Speaker 2: I was saying Iran, and then we got a talk
Speaker 2: back saying Iran.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I say Iran. I don't have my headphone. Okay,
Speaker 3: says Iran. Says I say Iran, Iran, Iran. Okay, I
Speaker 3: say Iran. Oh, definitely Iran. It's Iran, Iran, Iran.
Speaker 2: There's no extra r Iran and Iran, Iran and Iraq.
Speaker 11: I started in broadcast journalism just before the Iraq War starting,
Speaker 11: and that was the pronouncer that this very company put
Speaker 11: out for us.
Speaker 3: You're not saying Iraq.
Speaker 11: And you know because I'm from Kentucky, so a lot
Speaker 11: of people are saying Iraq, ira you know what's happening
Speaker 11: in Iraq?
Speaker 3: I say it like George w says it. Yeah.
Speaker 11: So I think I'm gonna go with Iran and I'll
Speaker 11: take all the talkbacks they want to sent, because I'm
Speaker 11: still saying duarte.
Speaker 10: You say sopoveda. I think the first time I came
Speaker 10: here I probably said it. In the way that I
Speaker 10: assumed a Spanish speaking person might say it.
Speaker 2: But I learned, Yeah, I learned, and the night's still
Speaker 2: Night's still young.
Speaker 3: You can learn, I know.
Speaker 11: And I don't mean to derail us from the very
Speaker 11: seriousness of the evening, but you know, there's a lot
Speaker 11: of We focus a lot on pronunciation in the Los
Speaker 11: Angeles because we're very righteous about the way we say things.
Speaker 11: I didn't expect the righteousness to come on the telephone
Speaker 11: about Iran because it's not you can't get to Iran
Speaker 11: on the five, right. I mean, this isn't something that
Speaker 11: we're talking about a lot here in LA. It's like
Speaker 11: a Saturday Night Live, I suppose. But yeah, we'll be
Speaker 11: covering this. Also, there were some verbal bombs here in
Speaker 11: Los Angeles involving the vice president and the mayor hurling
Speaker 11: some backs.
Speaker 3: We're gonna recap that, I hope, so yeah, because.
Speaker 11: I've edited a lot of sound and hopefully we'll get
Speaker 11: to that.
Speaker 3: I was so excited to play that, Michael Mundy.
Speaker 11: No, I know, I know, I know what I will
Speaker 11: pick up where you left off. You know, breaking news
Speaker 11: has its place and that's what we're here for. Okay,
Speaker 11: we plan for the shows and things happen.
Speaker 2: Before you go before you go, And talking about the
Speaker 2: verbal the war of war of words between Vice President JD.
Speaker 3: Vance and Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 2: Of the two, who do you think was more effective
Speaker 2: in their their war strategy?
Speaker 3: Who would win?
Speaker 11: Well, here's what I would say, blow for blow senator
Speaker 11: now Vice President Vance, as we saw in the campaign
Speaker 11: when he was still senator, he is I think good
Speaker 11: regardless of the veracity of whatever you're saying, as a politician,
Speaker 11: he is good when it's time to spar and he
Speaker 11: really is an effective fighter verbally. Mayor Bass has had
Speaker 11: a rough year, starting at the very beginning of the
Speaker 11: year with the fires and not really communicating really well. Again,
Speaker 11: regardless of the veracity of what she's saying, she seems
Speaker 11: to be finding her footing verbally and from a messaging standpoint. Yeah, So,
Speaker 11: I think as far as both of them go, there
Speaker 11: were sparks coming from both of them, and both of
Speaker 11: them looked very surefooted and a sure of themselves. And
Speaker 11: I was surprised at how feisty the mayor was. Again,
Speaker 11: irrespective of how much you believe and what either of
Speaker 11: them was saying, they were both very confident.
Speaker 3: And probably the most confident I think I've seen her.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, for sure. And we'll talk about that coming up. Ideally,
Speaker 11: I have that ready to go if we have time. Obviously,
Speaker 11: the situation we're going to carry. The President's to talk
Speaker 11: any moment, and it's maybe a couple of minutes away from this,
Speaker 11: and hopefully we'll hear what President Trump has to say
Speaker 11: and we'll play that and if we have some time,
Speaker 11: we'll talk about local issues too.
Speaker 2: Well, let me go so I can give it over
Speaker 2: to you Trump. Also, let's petition to get a raise
Speaker 2: for the weekend crew.
Speaker 3: How about that? I think so.
Speaker 2: I think we're a long month for the week a
Speaker 2: long month year. It's just been all of it, right,
Speaker 2: We're doing our best.
Speaker 3: We're doing a good job.
Speaker 2: Well done after Toddy on the breaking news, and again
Speaker 2: we'll continue to cover all things Iran and the United
Speaker 2: States now positioning ourselves within this aggression between Iron or
