California has filed its 23 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.159 twenty sixth lawsuit against the Trump administration, this time over 24 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.480 electric cars. It comes after President Trump signed legislation that 25 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.799 terminates California's ban on the sale of gas powered vehicles 26 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.879 starting in twenty thirty five. The lawsuit argues the federal 27 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.159 government is violating the state's rights to set its. 28 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:45.319 Own clean air rules. 29 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.400 One person miraculously survived the crash of the Air India 30 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.120 plane into a neighborhood in western India. We're going to 31 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.040 take a look at what caused the crash, what happens next, 32 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.159 and of course the survivor with iHeart aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. 33 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.079 That's coming up at five twenty. 34 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.400 It is Friday the thirteenth, As I mentioned, why is 35 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.520 this day thought to be so unlucky? We're going to 36 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.879 dig into the origins a little bit. That's coming up 37 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.960 at five point thirty. And what's new on the stream 38 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.000 and in theaters that's coming up at five point fifty. 39 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.719 And Hi, ho, I can see why it wasn't off 40 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.520 to the theaters they go for this movie. 41 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.240 We'll be tend telling you about. 42 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:28.520 That right now. 43 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:29.319 Let's get started. 44 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.120 Some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 45 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.280 four hour newsroom. The ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals 46 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.000 has temporarily blocked the ruling of a judge in San 47 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.319 Francisco who said the Trump administration had to return control 48 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.639 of the National Guard to California. The judge yesterday said 49 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.280 Trump had not properly called up the Guard in the 50 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.800 first place. Governor Newsom praised that decision. 51 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.479 And hopefully Donald Trump will immediately back down. The courts 52 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.879 have ruled on the Guard. They will be back under 53 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.400 my command and he'll be really But. 54 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.000 The Governor's victory was short lived. 55 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.520 The appeals court said it would hold a hearing on 56 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.080 the matter June seventeenth. The White House says the President 57 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.520 exercised his lawful authority to mobilize the National Guard to 58 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.560 protect federal buildings and personnel in La. So what that means, 59 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.479 the short, long and short of it is the National 60 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.960 Guard stays under the control of President Trump for now. 61 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.000 Democratic US Senator Alex Padilla has been forcibly removed from 62 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.400 a news conference in Westwood. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome 63 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.080 was offering updates on the immigration raids in La Padilla 64 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.680 interrupted the event and was forced out by Secret Service 65 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.599 and FBI agents. He says his ejection was over the top. 66 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.240 I was there peacefully. At one point I had a question, 67 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.520 and so I began to ask a question. I was 68 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.759 almost immediately forcibly removed from the room. I was forced 69 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:56.319 to the ground. 70 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.439 He was not wearing his congressional pin at the the time, 71 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.080 identifying who he is. Nome was in LA to accompany 72 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.560 federal agents during immigration enforcement activity. She says the raids 73 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.719 in LA will not only continue, they're going to increase. 74 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.399 The reaction to Senator Padilla's removal has been sharply partisan. 75 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.160 House Speaker Mike Johnson says Padia's actions were wildly inappropriate. 76 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.920 I think that that behavior, at a minimum, is it 77 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.680 rise to the level of a century. I think there 78 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.639 needs to be a message sent by the body as 79 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.319 a whole that that is not what we are going 80 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.759 to do. That's not how we're going to act. 81 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.600 Other lawmakers have demanded answers. LA County Supervisor Lindsay Horveth 82 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.879 called Padia's removal absolute insanity and an abomination. LA Mayor 83 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.959 Bass has extended the curfew for downtown LA for another 84 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.439 day and says it may continue for a few more days. 85 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:47.040 She says the. 86 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.560 Curfews have curtailed violence and vandalism, but she says the 87 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.279 immigration raids need to stop too. 88 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.079 We want peace to come to our city. The peace 89 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.959 that we need to have happen needs to begin in Washington, 90 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.800 and we need to stop the race. 91 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.199 As so, she has reached out to talk with President Trump, 92 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.639 but so far received no response from the White House. 93 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.839 Let's say good morning this Friday morning to ABC's Jordanna 94 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.199 Miller in Jerusalem. Geordana, We've got a lot to unpack 95 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:24.160 this morning. Israel has launched attacks on Iran, targeting nuclear 96 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.360 facilities and missile sites, also military leaders. The attacks started 97 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.839 last night our time, which I believe was two am 98 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.959 in Israel. So tell us what has happened and what 99 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.920 is happening this morning, and. 100 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.839 It's been a long day for us here. At about 101 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.199 three am local time, sirens ring out across the country. 102 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.680 And that wasn't because Iran was attacking or responding with 103 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:59.279 any kind of drones or missiles, but simply the leadership here, 104 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.600 the Defense minister and the Prime Minister decided they needed 105 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.680 to wake up the entire country and let everybody know 106 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.959 that Israel had embarked on a massive attack on Iran's 107 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:19.360 nuclear facilities, on its military, its missile missile, ballistic missile program, 108 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.120 taking out top military leaders, top nuclear scientists. This was, 109 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:31.600 you know, a very complicated, again, wide scale attack that 110 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.920 unfolded in wave after wave of airstrikes. And now we're 111 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.040 even learning the Mosad, Israel spy agency managed to set 112 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:50.000 up some local ways to attack Iran's capabilities, setting up 113 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:56.600 a drone suicide drone attacks on Iranian soil and other 114 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.680 weapons and detonating them at the time that this attack started. 115 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.319 So I think, you know, right as it stands right now, 116 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.839 I think Iran's in a kind of state of shock 117 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.040 and awe. I think they did not expect this attack. 118 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.720 It was a surprise attack. There was so much talk 119 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.959 in the media, and I think everyone was convinced the 120 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.759 Israelis wouldn't carry out any strikes without the blessing of 121 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.079 President Trump, and he was publicly saying, don't do it, 122 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.120 don't do it. We wanted diplomatic solution. Wait, and I 123 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.560 think the Iranians mistakenly believed that as well, and so 124 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.360 this strike took them completely by surprise. They were expecting 125 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:46.040 something maybe next week. And so about two hundred aircraft 126 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.720 carried out strikes on again, dozens of targets. It's still 127 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.199 going on. In response, Aron fired about one hundred drones 128 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.040 on Israel, but most of those have been shot down 129 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.879 outside of Israeli territory. And since that initial siren at 130 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:06.240 three am telling us a major military strike was underway 131 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.680 in Iran, there haven't been any other sirens. So everyone 132 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.040 here is restalking their safe rooms and their bomb rooms 133 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.600 and just waiting until Iran really carries out its first 134 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.800 major reprisal, which is expected to be you know, hundreds 135 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.199 of ballistic missiles. 136 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.920 Okay, So that has got to be a very anxious 137 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.160 waiting game for the people in Israel. So now you 138 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.399 just mentioned that people are kind of stalking up their 139 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.159 safe rooms and their shelters and then you and then 140 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.440 you just wait, and then when the sirens go off, 141 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:40.840 you head into the shelters again. 142 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.240 That's right, because the Israeli armies kind of preparing the 143 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.360 public for several weeks of back and forth strikes between 144 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.919 Iran and Israel. They're telling everybody and warning everybody this 145 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.559 time when you go in your safe room, it's not 146 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.000 going to be for ten minutes or half an hour. Right, 147 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.879 you may have to stay in your safe room for 148 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.080 many several hours, five hours, six hours, seven hours, eight hours. Right, 149 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.440 you may have to sleep in your in there. So 150 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.279 people are you know, early this morning, by six am 151 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.279 all the stores, people were in the stores getting water 152 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.519 and dry goods and write anything that they could get 153 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.720 their hands on, because suddenly everyone had to restock and 154 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.840 get their safe rooms ready to go, because you know, 155 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.159 that's where people may be spending most of their time 156 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.279 in the next couple of weeks. And you know that 157 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:44.320 includes myself. I you know, I have a very i 158 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.440 have a very underground bomb shelter that's across the street 159 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.279 from my house. And I've also you know, I've restocked 160 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.799 my bomb shelter and put my kids toys in there 161 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.440 and blankets and you know, everything, because who knows, we 162 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.039 could be in there, you know, for most of tonight 163 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.759 or tomorrow or you know, so we're being prepared for 164 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.320 several weeks of difficulty. 165 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.279 Okay, and Jordana, before we let you go, do we 166 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:20.679 know how successful the. 167 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:20.759 Strikes have been so far? 168 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.879 You mentioned there's some military leaders who were targeted and 169 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.440 some facilit at nuclear facilities. 170 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.480 How much success was the bombing rate. 171 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.679 It appears it was pretty successful right now. You know, 172 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.120 the Israeli say they significantly damaged Natans, which is one 173 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.919 of two, one of the two most new and even 174 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.720 the Iranians, even the Iranians are saying that Natans was 175 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:56.960 very significantly damaged. On top of that, the Israelis successfully 176 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:03.399 assassinated the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the Joint 177 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.000 chiefs of Staff, the head of the Air Force, the 178 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:10.519 general who does war and emergency planning. And the only 179 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.159 top leader they didn't get was the Supreme Leader, i 180 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:18.840 Ha Tolajomine, and it's unclear if Israel actually targeted him 181 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.120 or not. But this is in terms of day one. 182 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.200 You know, I think Israel scored major points. But this, 183 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.360 you know, it's it's it's not a race, it's a marathon. 184 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.919 So we'll have to see how things unfold in the 185 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.679 coming in the coming weeks, okay. 186 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.840 And we will be really days. 187 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.799 Yeah, Well, if it's anything like the last time when 188 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.200 Iran launched like a thousand missiles that you guys, I 189 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.679 remember we talked to you when you were in the shelter. 190 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.720 So yeah, it was about that was about three hundred. 191 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.200 It was actually three hundred and fifty. We were in 192 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.200 the shelter for an hour, which felt like a long time. 193 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.559 Now they're basically saying, hey, you know you could be 194 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.720 in there for several hours. 195 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.440 Okay, all right, so we will check in with you. 196 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:04.679 Jordana, be safe and thanks so much for the information. 197 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:06.600 All right, take care. 198 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.919 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 199 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.000 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. No 200 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.759 King's Day protests are planned in more than eighteen hundred 201 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.720 communities to oppose President Trump's military parade. 202 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.480 The parade through Washington, d C. 203 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.639 Is being held tomorrow to celebrate the two hundred and 204 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:30.039 fiftieth birthday of the Army. It's also Flag Day and 205 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.360 it's President Trump's seventy ninth birthday. Up to a million 206 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.360 people are expected to participate in the protests. One of 207 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.279 the organizers says people showing up to protest peacefully is 208 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.440 one of the most patriotic things you can do. American 209 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.919 investigators say they will join authorities in India in looking 210 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.799 into what caused an Air India plane to crash shortly 211 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.919 after takeoff. Two hundred and forty one people died yesterday. 212 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.600 There was one survivor. This man's brother says it's a miracle. 213 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.919 When it was on the runway, more than Matad Corden 214 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.840 and Usha said, Oh, we're going to take off soon. 215 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.679 On the literary like two minutes later, he video quoted 216 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.679 my dad Azi crush. He said, all things crushed. 217 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.639 Vishwash Kumar Ramesh says he was supposed to pick up 218 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.799 his two brothers when the plane landed in London. 219 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.120 The other brother is believed to have died. 220 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.919 Disbarred attorney Michael Avenatti, who represented porn actress Stormy Daniels 221 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.639 in her lawsuit against President Trump, has been re sentenced 222 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.279 to eleven years and three months in federal prison. That's 223 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.039 down from his original sentence of fourteen years for his 224 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.200 guilty plea for tax and wire fraud. With time served, 225 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.039 he'll have to serve just under eight more years in prison. 226 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.679 And the CIA is releasing dozens of additional documents in 227 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.279 connection to the nineteen sixty eight assassination of former Senator 228 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:43.879 Robert F. 229 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.399 Kennedy. 230 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.799 It's the third release of declassified papers after earlier batches 231 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.559 in April and May. President Trump signed an executive order 232 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.080 in January, calling for the publication of remaining classified documents 233 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.759 concerning Kennedy's assassination, as well as former President John F. 234 00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.360 Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The extent 235 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.000 of how much new information the documents reveal isn't immediately clear, 236 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.240 but the latest release isn't expected to significantly shift the 237 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.679 main view of the circumstances surrounding the former senator's death. 238 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:13.559 Mark Ronner KFI News. 239 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.639 The Israeli military says it had intelligence that Iran's nuclear 240 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.840 program was reaching the point of no return. Israel launched 241 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:27.159 what it called preemptive strikes on Iran, reportedly against military 242 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.679 and nuclear sites. Israel has declared a state of emergency 243 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.639 in the country as it anticipates Iran will retaliate. LA 244 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.919 fire ground and marine units are investigating a reported leak 245 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:42.080 of a polyester resin from inside a cargo container on 246 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.919 an eleven hundred foot Singapore flagged cargo ship in San Pedro. 247 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.399 Fire Cruiser called just after one this morning to check 248 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.360 out the leak on the ship moored in the port 249 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.159 of Los Angeles. LA Fire spokesman Brian Humphreys says no escalating. 250 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.960 Or off site hazard has been identified. 251 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.840 Forty years after Dark Helmet took over the screen, mel 252 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.399 Brooks is announced a Spaceballs sequel is coming. Mel Brooks 253 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:10.080 returns as Yogurt, Daphne's Niga is also back as Princess Vespa, 254 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.799 Bill Pullman returns as a Lone Star, and Dark Helmet. 255 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.840 Rick moranis is also coming back. It'll be released in 256 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:18.919 twenty twenty seven. 257 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:20.519 Let's say good. 258 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.120 Morning now to iHeart aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. 259 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.519 Good morning, Jay, Pleasant, good morning. 260 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.320 So we wanted to talk to you today because of 261 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.240 that horrific crash in western India. It was just it 262 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.600 was such a bizarre one and so I mean it 263 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.240 was it was only at six hundred and forty five feet. 264 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.799 It happened like a one minute into the flight and 265 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.559 it crashes, but it didn't nose dive. It looked like 266 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:49.519 it just sort of lost altitude and just kind of 267 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:51.320 sunk down. 268 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.200 Yep, just kind of fell out of the sky, you're 269 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.360 exactly right, kind of glided down and pancaked into the ground. 270 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.919 It was just our horrific situation and it caught us 271 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.279 off guard, in part because it was a Boeing seven 272 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.000 eighty seven that airplane's been around for fourteen years. We've 273 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:16.000 not had a single serious accident like this. After five 274 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.879 million plus flights. That aircraft has carried more than a 275 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.759 billion people around the world. Seventy nine airlines use the 276 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.919 Boeing seven eighty seven, so it's a workhorse, a proven 277 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:31.039 airplane that we haven't really had issues with. So to 278 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.720 see this one kind of fall out of the sky 279 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:36.799 as it did, it was really a concern. And of 280 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.519 course when I first saw the video, the first thing 281 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.720 that I'm looking for is if the aircraft was in distress, 282 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.440 meaning if they had ingested birds or something had happened. 283 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.320 You'd see evidence of that coming from the engine. You 284 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.000 would see smoke or fire or something along those lines, 285 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:59.159 indicating the engine or engines were at peril. But none 286 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.480 of that was evident. There was no terraced type thing 287 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.000 where anything blew up from inside the airplane or shot 288 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.039 at the airplane from the outside. You had an airplane 289 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.000 that was just flying, that just was going too slow 290 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.680 and down it came so right Now. The investigation is continuing, 291 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.319 as sadly, the death toll continues to go up. I 292 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.640 think it's over two hundred and sixty from what we've 293 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.720 seen two hundred and forty two souls on board with 294 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.000 the one survivor, thank god for that, and then the 295 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.960 number of the fatalities on the ground continues to rise. 296 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.559 So really the rush is on right now to try 297 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.599 to find out everything that we can, just to see 298 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.319 if it's a problem with the Dreamliner or if it 299 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.240 was a situation of a pilot air or a combination 300 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:39.680 of both. 301 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.359 Okay, So, and do we know if they've found the 302 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:43.319 black boxes yet? 303 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.720 One of the two have been found, okay, and I 304 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.640 think it was the cockpit voice recorder if I'm not mistaken, 305 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.000 And that'll be an important one because you can hear 306 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.200 the alarms and the conversations that were ongoing. The other one, 307 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.200 the flight data recorder, is going to be very very 308 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.119 important as well, because there's this ongoing discussion on whether 309 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:05.680 or not the crew had the flaps set properly for takeoff, 310 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:09.039 and I believe they did, but we'll have to wait 311 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:13.400 and see if that was the case. The perplexing part 312 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.319 of all of this to me is the landing gear 313 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.680 being deployed. Normally, moments after an aircraft rotates or comes 314 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.319 off the ground, the landing here comes up. I mean airplanes, 315 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.400 like fifty feet off the ground and climbing. That's one 316 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.640 of the first thing the crew does. Why it wasn't done, 317 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.319 It suggests maybe there might have been a mechanical situation 318 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.359 gone going that prevented the crew from doing it, that 319 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.400 might have impacted the engines from operating. But to have 320 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:46.039 a dual engine failure the way these aircraft are put 321 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:50.200 together is like a billion to one, so I don't 322 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.319 understand how we could have that. It might have been 323 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.440 fuel contamination, if we had water in the fuel or something, 324 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.480 but I suspect that would have impacted the engines long 325 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.279 before a call and it wouldn't have been able to 326 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.720 leave as it did. So a lot of answers that 327 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.079 are going to come from those black boxes, and as 328 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.480 soon as we can get those and review them, this investigation, 329 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.039 which could take twelve months in all to go from 330 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.400 start to finish, can start giving us some initial answers. 331 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.240 Okay, I have so many more questions, but I do 332 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.599 want to move on to the one person who survived 333 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.400 sitting in seat eleven A. 334 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.200 How does that even happen? 335 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.480 When you look at aviation disasters as I have for 336 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:36.880 the last forty some years. There's really no reason why 337 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.039 some survive and some do not. I remember all those 338 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.359 years ago when USA today would actually take a seat 339 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.160 map chart of every disaster and they would color code 340 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.880 the seat this person died, this person left. It was 341 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.759 color coded so that people would ask, hey, where's the 342 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.680 safest place to sit on an airplane? Jay, So USA 343 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.160 today would put this seat map showing where all the 344 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.079 survivors were sitting, sitting in all those that perished where 345 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:05.720 they were at. You know, some people want to sit 346 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.799 in the back of the plane because they say, you know, 347 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:09.559 if it's going to crash, that's going to be the 348 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.799 last thing impacted. But then sometimes it goes into the 349 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.319 water and the people that die are the ones in 350 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.920 the back. It just never you just never know. I sadly, 351 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.279 I've had to deal with and talk with people in 352 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.880 my career that have been the lone survivors of aircraft disasters, 353 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:28.119 and many of those were seated at or near an 354 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.759 emergency exit. And I believe that this individual was seated 355 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:35.559 at or close to an emergency exit. Not that that 356 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.960 you know, because sometimes when these planes crash, the top 357 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.880 opens up. I mean, you have an emergency exit everywhere 358 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:47.400 because of what the airplane itself goes through. So the 359 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.359 important thing that we can do is that when we 360 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.480 are flying, and I would do this with my family 361 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.400 all the time, and we would fly wherever we were sitting, 362 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.160 I would have them tell me, close your eyes and 363 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.839 tell me how many were to the emergency exit in 364 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.400 front of us. 365 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.799 I do that every time I get down or get 366 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:06.680 on a plane, because. 367 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.519 You fly a lot and you understand that if it's 368 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.000 filled with smoke and your life depends on it, what 369 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.400 do I do? Well, you know what you're gonna do 370 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.079 with the ball before you get it. It's a sports 371 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.480 term and it's a good one because that way you 372 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.640 know exactly what's going to happen in the event of emergency. 373 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:23.119 You know, you just count the number of rows in 374 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.480 a way you go. You also make sure you kind 375 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.799 of glance at that emergency evacuation pamphlet that nobody looks at, 376 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.400 and you recognize, okay, if I've got to take that 377 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.480 thing out, it goes out the door type of thing, 378 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.119 and you know what you need to do. So those 379 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.559 little things like that can mean the world. And you know, 380 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.400 even when I'm flying in the winter, I don't fly 381 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.359 in shorts because if we have an emergency evacuation out 382 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.279 on the ramp, I don't want to freeze my butt 383 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.160 off because it happens at times where that takes place, 384 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.839 and you've got people that unfortunately are not dressed for 385 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.480 the elements. 386 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:58.640 I hadn't thought about that. That's a good reminder for 387 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.759 us moving forwards. Jay Ratliffe, thank you so much. I 388 00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:03.720 wish we had, like, you know, another half hour to 389 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.160 talk so of so many more questions. 390 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.680 But wait, any time you need me, just let me know, all. 391 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.359 Right, appreciate it so much. Have a great weekend you too, 392 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.039 all right. A federal appeals court has paused a ruling 393 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.559 that came down yesterday afternoon requiring President Trump to return 394 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:21.640 control of members the California National Guard to the state. 395 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.400 The judge in la said the federal government didn't have 396 00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.519 the authority to nationalize California's National Guard, but the new 397 00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.559 order comes from the ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals 398 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:35.000 puts that on pause. Another hearing is set for Tuesday. 399 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:40.279 Iran has confirmed and Israeli strike has killed a general, 400 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.200 Amir Ali Haji Dadada, the head of the Revolutionary Guard's 401 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:50.000
