Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The United States has struck three nuclear sites in i Ran.
There are six primary nuclear facilities and the United States
has currently unleashed a strike against three of those nuclear sites.
Let me read to you President Trump's post on Truth
(00:29):
Social It came in just about fifteen minutes ago. Now
he said, quote, we have completed our very successful attack
on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Ford Ou
Natons and s Fahan. All planes are now outside of
Iran airspace. A full payload of bombs was dropped on
(00:53):
the primary site, Foordoh. All planes are safely on their
way home. Congratulations to our eight American warriors. There is
not another military in the world that could have done this.
Now is the time for peace. That was in bold
and capital letters, and he continued with thank you for
(01:14):
your attention to this matter. And that was since about
fifteen minutes ago by President Donald Trump on Truth Social
his social media app. Again, according to President Trump, the
United States has conducted a quote successful attack on three
Iranian nuclear sites. I think we all suspected that this
(01:39):
would happen eventually, given the discourse in this last few
days about Iran and Israel and the conflict in the
Middle East, and now it seems to be coming to
pass where again the US has conducted a successful attack
quote unquote, according to President Trump on three of Iran's
(02:00):
nuclear sites.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
They have at least six that.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
We know of, and three of them were attacked just
a little while ago by our military. So we'll make
sure to keep you up to date on all things.
Will break in in the KFI newsroom if we have to,
just to make sure that we're following all of this
breaking news.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But as of right.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Now, things are quite tense, and you know, it's what
we expected, it's where we are heading, so prepare yourselves.
In addition to all of that, we have a very
big and fun show with you or for you today
at five point thirty.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
We have Nasa.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
She's the singer who a little over a week ago
sang the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgier game.
She got pushback, according to NASA before that decision, and
she got pushed back after, and there's been a lot
of controversy about what happened with that decision and what
has happened as a consequence of Nezza's choice.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Well, she's coming on at.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Five point thirty to tell her story in her own words,
So make sure that you listen here live at five
point thirty four that big interview.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Can't wait to talk to her.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
At six point thirty, we have Aaron AC christiansin coming on.
He's over the Animal Advocacy Network, a big organization dedicated
to animal rescue and advocacy, and they've set their sights
recently and ongoingly on downtown LA and skid Row specifically,
where there are quite a number of animals there, dogs, cats,
(03:39):
everything in between who AC says are being neglected and
or abused. And so the Animal Advocacy Network, under the
helm of Aaron christiansin AC is what we call him,
They've been doing quite a lot of work in that region,
and he's going to come on and tell us what's
going on, why they're doing it, and what they need
(04:00):
to continue. In between, we have quite a bit of
local news, including what's going on with these Dodgers, which
I'm gonna get to in a second, why all the controversy?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And then at six.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Thirty excuse me, at six o'clock for our Deeper Dives segment,
Any Disney officionados out there. Anyone able to afford being
a Disney fan at this point, Well, if you are
and you like going to Disneyland, then you definitely are
are attuned to the character actors. Well, there's a lot
(04:32):
of information going around about a couple of those actors specifically,
and people trying to unearth their true identities because their
characters in the park are going viral. People are taking
video sharing it everywhere and trying to figure out who
the actors and actresses are behind these characters. Well, Disney,
(04:52):
they don't like that so much, and it's being said
that some of those character actors they've gotten fired because
of the public interest in their real identities. We're going
to take a deeper dive into some of Disney's policies
as well as answer the questions, hopefully as to whether
or not some of these popular character actors have in
fact been fired. All right, let's get into this Dodger stuff.
(05:16):
Let's see what's going on with these Dodgers out here. Well,
just a few days ago, the Dodgers found themselves again
at the center of controversy.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
It's been going on all week.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
These Dodgers are in the news, not because of showhy
breaking records or any of the team actually experiencing what
they do while playing the game. No, no, no, This
controversy is all about what's happening behind the scenes and
off the field as it relates to the immigration raids
(05:48):
in southern California, and the Dodgers have found themselves at
the center of the controversy because the Dodgers seem to
be synonymous with a certain sector of the population, and
that certain sector of the population are being targeted right
now by these ice raids, and people fans alike have
(06:09):
been pressuring the Dodgers to speak out. Well, the Dodgers
hadn't up until Friday, released any sort of statement. They've
been very mum on the entire situation. Say for one
player Keith Hernandez, who took to his own personal social
media to share his thoughts about the immigration raids, but
(06:30):
the Dodgers not saying anything. They had Neza do the
national anthem and we'll find out what happened there. But
after that, controversy continued and people wanted to know what
is going on with the Dodgers' actual grounds. There were
rumors that there were ice agents around the stadium, here's
(06:51):
what happened. Around ten am this previous Thursday. Social media
went crazy with reports of ice all around Dodgers Stadium
and even on the grounds in the parking lot, people
showed up to protest. You might have seen this on
the news, which then, of course led the Dodgers to
issue some statements. They claimed on their social media that
(07:15):
they the Dodgers declined a request from Ice agents to
actually use the parking lots at the stadium. They also
went on to post on x later in the day
that the franchise the Dodgers confirmed that immigration officials unsuccessfully
attempted to access their parking lots. So the Dodgers were saying, yes,
(07:38):
there were immigration officials here, but we did not let
them into the parking lot. They were told to stay
off the grounds. They went on to say, quote unquote,
this is the Dodgers. This morning, ICE agents came to
Dodgers Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots.
They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. However,
(08:02):
you can't say things like this and dispel what you
consider as incorrect information without the other party or parties
also speaking up. And that's what Homeland Security did. The
Department of Homeland Security has insisted that the presence of
ice at Dodger Stadium had nothing to do with the
(08:25):
baseball team, but that they were in fact there and
at least four DHS vehicles were seen near the stadium
that morning. Those agents then dispersed to various locations in
the area. In fact, La City Council workers alerted LAPD
(08:47):
of the staging at Dodger Stadium, which then in fact
verifies and proves true that the Department of Homeland Security was,
in fact they using the grounds as a staging area.
When we come back, we're going to learn a bit
more about what's happening with the Dodgers. We're going to
(09:10):
hear about a person who was detained, he says, unlawfully,
and that he is a US citizen, a doctoral student
in fact at the Claremont Colleges, and he's going to
give his retelling of what happened when he was detained
and also lend credibility to the rumors that Dodger Stadium
may very well be a staging area for these immigration raids,
(09:32):
despite what the Dodgers franchise is alleging. We're also continuing
to follow this breaking news out of Iran.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Again.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
According to President Trump, the US has struck three nuclear
sites in Iran, three nuclear sites. He posted on truth
Social just about twenty minutes ago that of their six
primary nuclear facilities in Iran, that the US has struck
three of them, including the main one. So we are continuing,
(10:05):
of course, to follow this breaking news out of Iran,
and when we come back, will continue talking about this
Dodger controversy, because it's a lot right here on Saturdays
with Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
We are getting major breaking news out of every major outlet, CNN, ABC,
I'm seeing it pop up on more of our stations
as well.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
That the US.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
According to President Trump, who posted on truth Social, his
social media app, about twenty five minutes ago, now, the
US has struck three nuclear sites in Iran. Three nuclear sites.
They Iran is reported to have at least looks as
I see here in the region one, two, three, four, five,
(10:56):
six in the region, four in Iraq, one on the
order between Syria and Turkey, and three of the nuclear
sites in Iran were in fact struck by our armed forces,
and President Trump has announced that in that strike Floridoh,
Iran's heavily fortified nuclear facility was in fact hit. Let
(11:22):
me continue with some of the latest information out of
Iran as well. I'm looking here. It seems that the
United States has dropped bombs on these nuclear sites. And
this is now bringing the United States directly into the
war between Israel and Iran. This is after days of
(11:43):
uncertainty about our place in this ongoing war, whether or
not the US would enter into this conflict, conflict and
at what level, and now we are seeing it directly,
just twenty plus minutes ago, that the United States has
in fact dropped our own missiles on these nuclear sites
(12:03):
in what President Trump is calling a successful attack. He
also went on to say in that social media post
on truth Social that quote all US planes are now
outside of Iranian air space, so that seems to be
an attack and leave type of strategy. They are not
(12:24):
hanging around, according to President Trump. He went on to
say that a quote full payload of bombs has been
dropped on Flourdoh and that all planes are safely on
their way home. Here's some information about those three sites
that were bombed. The three sites that were hit this
(12:44):
Saturday night, just a little while ago, it's evening there
in Iran included Iran's two major uranium enrichment centers in
the Mountain facility at Florido and a larger enrichment plant
at Natans, which Israel struck several days ago with smaller weapons.
(13:05):
So Israel had already been striking in this region and
the US has just added more to that strike with
those three sites being hit. Iran maintains that its nuclear
program is for civilian purposes, but Israel says that the
potential for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon is great,
(13:30):
that it is significant. That is what is informing Israel's
attack on their missile facilities or these nuclear facilities, and
why the United States as well has agreed to enter
into this conflict. And according again to the information coming
out of Iran, Israel launched a wave of air strikes
(13:54):
against missile sites, a nuclear facility, and munitions storage sites
in Iran. And while Iran fired a barrage of ballistic
missiles and launched drones into Israel, the US is again
the US's participation in this is very significant in comparison
(14:16):
to what Israel has done in fact, there have been
commanders killed. Israel's military says that it has killed three
top Iranian commanders. Those deaths have not been immediately confirmed
by Iran, but Israel is saying that three top or
leading commanders were in fact killed. So, of course, the
(14:40):
question on everyone's mind with this is what's next. We
see this bombing, we see the US now participating in
this war between Israel and Iran. What's next? What does
that mean? Well, if President Trump decides to continue sending
American military as he did this evening to help destroy
(15:04):
these uranium enrichment facilities, these nuclear facilities, it will most
likely initiate a more dangerous phase in this war. We
are looking at the potential for a lot more to happen,
and whether or not these strikes will in fact wipe
(15:25):
out Iran's purported nuclear capabilities is still still in question.
That's not yet known, but as of right now, going
after the prominent ones and striking three of the at
least six most prominent nuclear facilities in Iran is indicative
(15:46):
of wanting to make sure that Iran does not have
this nuclear capability. Again, just to rephrase all of this,
if you're just tuning in President Trump has announced that
the United States has struck three nuclear sites in Iran.
Six primary nuclear facilities have been noted in the Iranian region,
(16:09):
and three of them have now been subjected to the
US military force through bombings which have struck three major
nuclear sites, including the most prominent one in the country
or in the city of Fidoh. It looks like Fourdoh,
the large enrichment plants. These are uranium enrichment centers and
(16:35):
they are heavily guarded. But the US has dropped these
bombs on these sites, which is now causing a lot
of question about what the US will do and continue
to do within this war between Israel and i Ran.
We're continuing to follow this story. This is undoubtedly the
biggest news globally, absolutely the biggest news, and we're going
(16:59):
to have ongoing coverage of everything that's going on in Iran. Again,
our planes are on the way home. President Trump says
they are safely on the way home. But this news
is continuing to develop. We'll continue to follow this and
more right here on KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This breaking news out of Iran that posits the United
States directly directly inside of the conflict between Israel and Iran,
because just a little while ago, just about thirty minutes
ago now, President Trump announced on truth Social, his social
(17:45):
media app, that the United States, the United States has
in fact struck three nuclear sites in Iran. Three nuclear
sites in Iran, including the most formidible of those sites
located in the area of foordoh which was hit in
(18:06):
that military strike. President Trump did go on to say
that all of the aircraft are outside of Iranian airspace
and safely on their way home, but he is calling
President Trump is calling this a quote successful attack on
Iranian nuclear sites. So we're in the middle of it.
(18:30):
Everyone we knew this was coming, and we're going to
continue to stay up to speed on all things breaking
about this conflict and hour now positioning in it. We're
also getting word that the President will speak somewhere in
the seven o'clock hour, and if we need to preempt
to cover that, we will certainly do so. So we're
(18:52):
awaiting news about when the President will in fact speak
so we can share with you that specific time. But again,
the USA has struck three nuclear sites in Iran and
what is being called a successful attack on Iranian nuclear sites.
We are going to come back to this story and
(19:13):
break momentarily just to be able to I really want
to make sure that we spend time highlighting our next
guests because it is important and it does speak to
the ongoing kind of conflict in Los Angeles, specifically, Singer
entertainer Vanessa Hernandez aka Nesa, was invited to sing the
(19:35):
national anthem at last weekend's Dodger game against the San
Francisco Giants. You might have seen all over social media
postings about NASA singing the national anthem, and she did.
She sang it beautifully as only she could, but differently
than what was expected because Nesa sang the national anthem
(19:59):
in Spanish, not the first time it's ever been sung
in Spanish, but definitely one of the more sensationalized experiences,
and it caused quite a bit of Controversynessa said that
she did it to honor those protesting ICE throughout Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, I want NASA to.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Tell us what happened in her own words, because a
lot has been said about why and what's happened subsequent
to the choice and the decision made to sing the
national anthem in Spanish. But I felt what better than
to have Neessa on herself to tell her own story. NASA,
Welcome to KFI and thank you so much for coming
(20:42):
on with us.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
No, thank you for taking a second too.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah to have me, Oh, no problem.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
As soon as I heard, I said, I want you
to come on, absolutely, and I want you to come on,
and I want you to clear the air because a
lot of people will undoubtedly try and control your narrative,
so so many rumors. So if I may, I just
want to say this one thing. A lot of people
imagine what they might do in a scenario when they're
(21:09):
faced with making a moral decision or standing up for
something that they feel they should stand up for. I
think we all kind of fantasize about what we would
do if something happened. There are TV shows made out
of those scenarios of what would you do if you
were faced with this?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Well, you did it. You were faced with.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
This decision, and where others may have shied away, you
did it. What did you think just before you started singing?
What was going through your mind?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I mean, for anyone who knows me or anyone who's
in my life. They know that I am the biggest
goody two shoes on the planet and I can't even
cut in line like it truly, I think. I think
when it comes to me, I just something like I
get fueled when it comes to the people that I
feel very protective of, which I'm sure a lot of
(22:01):
people are like that. You know, you you'll go to
the end of the earth or the people you love.
And I think I just felt extremely overprotective of my
Latin community that day, and that's kind of what sparked.
It's what drove me to do it. Otherwise I don't
think I would have been able.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
To right right.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And I think that that motivation of just wanting to
represent those who were underrepresented or misrepresented in those times
was so important.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And for you to do that, I like the Mama
Bear came out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah you did, and you really put an entire community
kind of on your back in that moment before you
took to that proverbial stage to the ground.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
And I've been a Dodger stadium. It is huge. I'm
a Dodger fan.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I'm a Dodger fan and the same Yeah, absolutely, and
there are thousands of people there cheering you on or
not or whatever the case. Again, what did you have
any sort of little voice in your head? Did anyone
say anything to you that you could share with us
before you went up, anything that you were that really
drove you to that moment to make the choice to
(23:10):
sing in Spanish because you had a choice.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I sure did. I also have
the choice to leave, which was an option that I
brought up to my manager. I was like, do I
just leave? Like, do I walk out of here? Because
there's no way in my heart I can sing this
in English right now. And my boyfriend w was so too,
and he was like, look like, if you really feel
like you want to be here for your people, and
then do it. And he's like, you're going to regret
(23:32):
it if you don't. And that was just all I
could hear, the regret. One of my best friends in
the whole world passed away in twenty twenty. His name
was Corey Laberry. I'm sorry, but he he had this saying,
and we all have it tattooed on us now, but
it's he said, don't live with the o wells, live
with the what ifs, and That's basically the mentality I had.
(23:54):
I went out there. I was like, I'm going to
live with the oh, well, whatever happens happens, but at
least I'm not going to live with the what if
of what could what could have been changed here today?
So yeah, bravo, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You know that actually takes one of the questions that
I was going to ask you is if there was
anything that you would have done differently, what would it
have been? But I don't feel you would have done
anything differently.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
I mean, how could I, like, look at the outcome
that that, you know, look at the outcome now, like,
how could have I done anything differently? Never did I
think we would be in a place where the Dodgers
were saying they were going to be donating money. But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Think you had something to do with that, Miss Vanessa.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I mean it's still it's still everything's happening so fast
that I haven't been able to really process that I
had anything to do with that, because again, my my
normal life has still you know, hasn't been able to
stop moving. So I've been trying to kind of take
all I've been trying to take all of this in. So, yeah,
it's syndrome for the for the max to the max
for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Really impossible syndrome.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
And what that is for those who may be unaware,
is that there's this inherent feeling that you don't deserve
what it is that you're receiving.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
And it's usually a positive thing. Go ahead, and Vanessa.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Correct, Yeah, because I mean there's been so like the
outpour of love, the opportunities that have come my way
this week because of the ninety seconds, you know, ninety
seconds changed my entire life. Yeah, there's just so many
opportunities that have come my way that I'm like, do
I deserve this? Six people that work their whole lives
to get onto this show or to this and this,
And it's just been Yeah, a little bit of imposter
(25:31):
syndrome these past couple of days, but I'm trying to
work through it.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
You absolutely deserve it.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Can you and just briefly tell us what happened after
so were you told you can't come back? Is there
still confusion around that?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
That's the where like the rumors all came about, they
were like she said she was banned. I never in
any video said the word band. I actually was never
even going to come out with the conversation phone call
conversation story until the Dodgers came out with their statements
saying no, she's welcome back, because I was like, that
is definitely not the message I received, which is why
I came forward with my story of the phone call
(26:10):
exchange that happened. Literally ten seconds after I finished, she
called my manager and said, what was that. Wow, you
don't don't email us again. Don't call us ever again.
None of your clients are ever welcome here ever again.
So without saying the word ban, why would I want
to come back even if I was not welcome there? Right?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Never? In that case, now you're not going ever.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, you're not going to show up to a party
you're not invited to, you know what I mean. So yeah,
that was kind of the exchange, and I fully intended
to stay there, like but and then we got that
phone call and I just left. I was like, Okay,
we're not welcome, then let's let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Which is so interesting given that the team is affectionately
called Los Doyer's, the population of fans is predominantly I
would say, you know, at least in the Sands, Hispanics, Latino,
the you know, the clothing, the jerseys are often in Spanish.
So I think Nasa that you reflected the constituency and
I think you did it very well.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Thank you so much. That means so much.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Where can people follow you to continue being along for
this journey as you as you skyrocket into the ether,
as you deserve.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, it's nothing that's happening to my life right now,
feels real, but people can keep up with me. I mean,
it's Unessa all in caps everywhere on Spotify, on Instagram,
it's at baby Nasa. But for the most part, yeah,
it's just NASA in all caps.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
But yeah, well you are busy, my dear, and rightfully so.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
So I'm gonna let you go.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Thank you so much for your time, and you are
more than welcome to come back on KFI and this
show any point.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yes, anytime, anytime. I'll be on anytime.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Thank you, darling. That was NASA.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Make sure that you follow her on Instagram. She's saying
the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodger game, to
a lot of controversial consequence. I would say she did
it beautifully, but not without some pushback. And she just
set the record straight about what happened. We're continuing to
follow this story out of Iran as well, and we
(28:14):
will do so when we come back. Some more updates
about the US's missile strike on those three facilities, those
nuclear facilities in Iran.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
There's a lot going on. Looks like we are now in.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
This conflict between Israel and Iran, and I'll have more
information about that when we come back. It's Saturdays with
Tiffany on KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
We just spoke with Neza, who performed the national anthem
in Spanish at the Dodger game about a week ago,
and she gave us a wonderful interview and insight into
the rumors. She cleared everything up and told us what
exact happened and what's happened since. And of course we
are following this ongoing, developing situation out of Iran. President
(29:09):
Trump took to took to truth social about thirty five
minutes ago or so now and shared with the nation,
with the world that the United States has entered into
the conflict with Israel and Iran. Are between Israel and
Iran striking three nuclear sites in Iran, including the most
(29:32):
formidable and significant of all in the region of Fidah
or city of Florida. That one was hit, and we
will find out more about any sort of casualties, any
sort of destruction to these nuclear sites that is the target.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Those were the targets.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And now we have an expert on His name is
doctor Walter Simmons. He's a major retired from the US Army.
He's also and emerging and see room physicians. So doctor
Simmons knows a lot about what's going on and possibly
can make some predictions about where we are headed as
a country as we enter into this conflict between Israel
(30:14):
and Iran. Doctor Simmons, if I may call you Walter,
thank you so much for coming on.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
All right, appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
You're so so welcome.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Is Walter.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Okay, you're gonna go with doctor Simmons.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
You earned it, so you tell me no, No, Walter,
Walter's just fine. I'd like it to be a very
casual conversation, so just call me Walter.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Wonderful, Thank you so much for coming on with such
short notice. There's so much news breaking, as you know,
and being that you served as in the US Army
as a major you're now retired, and thank you so
much for your service. What predictions, if any, can you
make about the United States now positioning ourselves within this conflict?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
What do you say?
Speaker 5 (31:02):
So? And I appreciate the cause. I also served some
time in a RAT, both inside what we call inside
the tea walls and outside the tea walls which to
be out and sort of the general population etside rat
doing a few missions. But look, I think this is
a the day that was somewhat expected. I think, especially
after the news on Friday. I don't know if you recognize,
(31:24):
but the Iranian spokesperson stated they had no intention really
to negotiate. I think that closed all doors. As you know,
we went through sixty days and negotiations or not we
but Trump went sixty days in negotiations with Iran trying
to get them to agree to a few key elements.
(31:44):
One was no further enrichment. The others were not to
further assist the other proxies in the area with weapons
ballistic missiles, and to decrease their ballistic missile file. They
wouldn't agree essentially to any of those elements. And day
sixty one, that's when Israeli, you know, Israel decided to
start their strikes against Iran. But there were some sites
(32:08):
including uh, you know, really three nuclear sites that also
had deep uh you know, bunker protected areas, and they
just don't have the munitions to get to those particular
sites and we do. So they I think silently requested
that the United States step end with our bunk or
(32:28):
busting opportunity and you know, assist with the ongoing war
between Ise and Iran. But it's really a war, you know,
for the world. Iran present a clear and present danger
in my opinion again, and I'm going to get a
state my opinion. These are not opinions from the you know, military,
so I don't want to speak for anyone but myself. However,
(32:51):
the Iranian situation presents a clan present danger in my
personal opinion to the world. If they have nuclear weapons,
are likely to use them, and a use of nuclear
weapons is going to start issues not just in the
Middle East, but it will spread across the world. That's
a world re initiating event. So I think I wasn't
(33:15):
surprised that we bombed those areas. I think I think
in some ways, by President Trump stating that there'd be
this two week window, he said within two weeks, it
probably created a rush inside the Iranian nuclear sites to
get a bomb developed as quickly as possible, because they
could have been just a couple of weeks away. And
maybe all there are scientists and all the folks that
(33:37):
really do understand how to build one of these weapons,
maybe we're gathered in those sites and now it's the
perfect time to bomb.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Them, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
And speaking about these and thank you for your analysis
of that question. We're speaking to doctor Walter Simmons. We're
going to call him Walter. This is a casual conversation
between friends about what's going on in I ran all
this breaking news and you are a major retired with
the US Army and just continuing with the conversation about
these B too stealth bombers. It's being reported, not yet
(34:07):
confirmed by President Trump, but reported by sources that a
number of these B two stealth bombers were a part
of this mission, and that they were carrying these bunker busters.
How many can bunker busters. Can a stealth bomber actually
carry What does that look like and how does that
enter into the efficacy of what's happening for those of
(34:31):
us who aren't up to speed on all.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Things now, I appreciate that so joly. They can carry
a payload of two of these bombs. They each weigh
about thirty thousand pounds. And I don't know if you recognize,
but there's been this war between bunkers and bunker busting
munitions going on, you know, for generations at this point.
So when the first bunker was created, the first bunker
(34:56):
busting the munition was created, and as the bunkers became
stronger and reinforced and thicker and better built, the munitions
have sort of followed suits.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
And now when you put a a a facility, you know,
sell one hundred feet underground and the four to HO
facility it's probably about three hundred feet underground, and then
it's got several feet of concrete protection as well.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
That's a very pardoned asset to reach. So each of
these self bombers, these b twos, can carry a payload
of two and generally the way it's designed is they
do a run, they drop one that a couple hundred
feet into the ground, and then it explodes and creates
an even larger crater. Then the second munition is designed
(35:45):
to follow just like a you know, splitting a quiver right,
sitting an arrow, right another arrow. It's designed to go
right into that same area and go down as deep
as it can. They're two hundred feet and load again
so you can get to these very deep seed bunkers.
In fact, that munition in particular was created with this
(36:08):
facility in mind, so it's no surprise that that's the
one that they would use. And like I said, the
B two can carry two of these.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Doctor Walter Simmons, thank you so much for your insight
and giving us clarity on what this attack potentially held,
what some of the logistical information involves, including bunker busters
and these B two bombers and wait and payload and
all this vocabulary that's now in the lexicon, because it
(36:38):
will certainly be in the conversation for the days, if
not weeks and months to come as we enter the
US enters into this conflict between Israel and Iran. Thank
you so much for coming on with us, especially in
such short notice.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
No no, I appreciate being on without praise repeace. I
think you know the world praise or peace. I'm hoping
that this brings about a greater level of puce for
the world. And I appreciate you having me on and
thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Definitely all of us collectively praying for peace. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
When we come back, we're going to continue this conversation
about what's happening in Iran. We're tracking all updates coming
out of the region, and we're following the updated information
about our warplanes as they are purported to be safe
and now having left Iranian airspace. So as these developments
(37:30):
continue to unfold, we'll make sure we bring them right
to you here on KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1 (37:39):
KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The United States has struck three nuclear sites in i Ran.
There are six primary nuclear facilities and the United States
has currently unleashed a strike against three of those nuclear sites.
Let me read to you President Trump's post on Truth
(00:29):
Social It came in just about fifteen minutes ago. Now
he said, quote, we have completed our very successful attack
on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Ford Ou
Natons and s Fahan. All planes are now outside of
Iran airspace. A full payload of bombs was dropped on
(00:53):
the primary site, Foordoh. All planes are safely on their
way home. Congratulations to our eight American warriors. There is
not another military in the world that could have done this.
Now is the time for peace. That was in bold
and capital letters, and he continued with thank you for
(01:14):
your attention to this matter. And that was since about
fifteen minutes ago by President Donald Trump on Truth Social
his social media app. Again, according to President Trump, the
United States has conducted a quote successful attack on three
Iranian nuclear sites. I think we all suspected that this
(01:39):
would happen eventually, given the discourse in this last few
days about Iran and Israel and the conflict in the
Middle East, and now it seems to be coming to
pass where again the US has conducted a successful attack
quote unquote, according to President Trump on three of Iran's
(02:00):
nuclear sites.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
They have at least six that.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
We know of, and three of them were attacked just
a little while ago by our military. So we'll make
sure to keep you up to date on all things.
Will break in in the KFI newsroom if we have to,
just to make sure that we're following all of this
breaking news.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But as of right.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Now, things are quite tense, and you know, it's what
we expected, it's where we are heading, so prepare yourselves.
In addition to all of that, we have a very
big and fun show with you or for you today
at five point thirty.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
We have Nasa.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
She's the singer who a little over a week ago
sang the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgier game.
She got pushback, according to NASA before that decision, and
she got pushed back after, and there's been a lot
of controversy about what happened with that decision and what
has happened as a consequence of Nezza's choice.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Well, she's coming on at.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Five point thirty to tell her story in her own words,
So make sure that you listen here live at five
point thirty four that big interview.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Can't wait to talk to her.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
At six point thirty, we have Aaron AC christiansin coming on.
He's over the Animal Advocacy Network, a big organization dedicated
to animal rescue and advocacy, and they've set their sights
recently and ongoingly on downtown LA and skid Row specifically,
where there are quite a number of animals there, dogs, cats,
(03:39):
everything in between who AC says are being neglected and
or abused. And so the Animal Advocacy Network, under the
helm of Aaron christiansin AC is what we call him,
They've been doing quite a lot of work in that region,
and he's going to come on and tell us what's
going on, why they're doing it, and what they need
(04:00):
to continue. In between, we have quite a bit of
local news, including what's going on with these Dodgers, which
I'm gonna get to in a second, why all the controversy?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And then at six.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Thirty excuse me, at six o'clock for our Deeper Dives segment,
Any Disney officionados out there. Anyone able to afford being
a Disney fan at this point, Well, if you are
and you like going to Disneyland, then you definitely are
are attuned to the character actors. Well, there's a lot
(04:32):
of information going around about a couple of those actors specifically,
and people trying to unearth their true identities because their
characters in the park are going viral. People are taking
video sharing it everywhere and trying to figure out who
the actors and actresses are behind these characters. Well, Disney,
(04:52):
they don't like that so much, and it's being said
that some of those character actors they've gotten fired because
of the public interest in their real identities. We're going
to take a deeper dive into some of Disney's policies
as well as answer the questions, hopefully as to whether
or not some of these popular character actors have in
fact been fired. All right, let's get into this Dodger stuff.
(05:16):
Let's see what's going on with these Dodgers out here. Well,
just a few days ago, the Dodgers found themselves again
at the center of controversy.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
It's been going on all week.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
These Dodgers are in the news, not because of showhy
breaking records or any of the team actually experiencing what
they do while playing the game. No, no, no, This
controversy is all about what's happening behind the scenes and
off the field as it relates to the immigration raids
(05:48):
in southern California, and the Dodgers have found themselves at
the center of the controversy because the Dodgers seem to
be synonymous with a certain sector of the population, and
that certain sector of the population are being targeted right
now by these ice raids, and people fans alike have
(06:09):
been pressuring the Dodgers to speak out. Well, the Dodgers
hadn't up until Friday, released any sort of statement. They've
been very mum on the entire situation. Say for one
player Keith Hernandez, who took to his own personal social
media to share his thoughts about the immigration raids, but
(06:30):
the Dodgers not saying anything. They had Neza do the
national anthem and we'll find out what happened there. But
after that, controversy continued and people wanted to know what
is going on with the Dodgers' actual grounds. There were
rumors that there were ice agents around the stadium, here's
(06:51):
what happened. Around ten am this previous Thursday. Social media
went crazy with reports of ice all around Dodgers Stadium
and even on the grounds in the parking lot, people
showed up to protest. You might have seen this on
the news, which then, of course led the Dodgers to
issue some statements. They claimed on their social media that
(07:15):
they the Dodgers declined a request from Ice agents to
actually use the parking lots at the stadium. They also
went on to post on x later in the day
that the franchise the Dodgers confirmed that immigration officials unsuccessfully
attempted to access their parking lots. So the Dodgers were saying, yes,
(07:38):
there were immigration officials here, but we did not let
them into the parking lot. They were told to stay
off the grounds. They went on to say, quote unquote,
this is the Dodgers. This morning, ICE agents came to
Dodgers Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots.
They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. However,
(08:02):
you can't say things like this and dispel what you
consider as incorrect information without the other party or parties
also speaking up. And that's what Homeland Security did. The
Department of Homeland Security has insisted that the presence of
ice at Dodger Stadium had nothing to do with the
(08:25):
baseball team, but that they were in fact there and
at least four DHS vehicles were seen near the stadium
that morning. Those agents then dispersed to various locations in
the area. In fact, La City Council workers alerted LAPD
(08:47):
of the staging at Dodger Stadium, which then in fact
verifies and proves true that the Department of Homeland Security was,
in fact they using the grounds as a staging area.
When we come back, we're going to learn a bit
more about what's happening with the Dodgers. We're going to
(09:10):
hear about a person who was detained, he says, unlawfully,
and that he is a US citizen, a doctoral student
in fact at the Claremont Colleges, and he's going to
give his retelling of what happened when he was detained
and also lend credibility to the rumors that Dodger Stadium
may very well be a staging area for these immigration raids,
(09:32):
despite what the Dodgers franchise is alleging. We're also continuing
to follow this breaking news out of Iran.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Again.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
According to President Trump, the US has struck three nuclear
sites in Iran, three nuclear sites. He posted on truth
Social just about twenty minutes ago that of their six
primary nuclear facilities in Iran, that the US has struck
three of them, including the main one. So we are continuing,
(10:05):
of course, to follow this breaking news out of Iran,
and when we come back, will continue talking about this
Dodger controversy, because it's a lot right here on Saturdays
with Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
We are getting major breaking news out of every major outlet, CNN, ABC,
I'm seeing it pop up on more of our stations
as well.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
That the US.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
According to President Trump, who posted on truth Social, his
social media app, about twenty five minutes ago, now, the
US has struck three nuclear sites in Iran. Three nuclear sites.
They Iran is reported to have at least looks as
I see here in the region one, two, three, four, five,
(10:56):
six in the region, four in Iraq, one on the
order between Syria and Turkey, and three of the nuclear
sites in Iran were in fact struck by our armed forces,
and President Trump has announced that in that strike Floridoh,
Iran's heavily fortified nuclear facility was in fact hit. Let
(11:22):
me continue with some of the latest information out of
Iran as well. I'm looking here. It seems that the
United States has dropped bombs on these nuclear sites. And
this is now bringing the United States directly into the
war between Israel and Iran. This is after days of
(11:43):
uncertainty about our place in this ongoing war, whether or
not the US would enter into this conflict, conflict and
at what level, and now we are seeing it directly,
just twenty plus minutes ago, that the United States has
in fact dropped our own missiles on these nuclear sites
(12:03):
in what President Trump is calling a successful attack. He
also went on to say in that social media post
on truth Social that quote all US planes are now
outside of Iranian air space, so that seems to be
an attack and leave type of strategy. They are not
(12:24):
hanging around, according to President Trump. He went on to
say that a quote full payload of bombs has been
dropped on Flourdoh and that all planes are safely on
their way home. Here's some information about those three sites
that were bombed. The three sites that were hit this
(12:44):
Saturday night, just a little while ago, it's evening there
in Iran included Iran's two major uranium enrichment centers in
the Mountain facility at Florido and a larger enrichment plant
at Natans, which Israel struck several days ago with smaller weapons.
(13:05):
So Israel had already been striking in this region and
the US has just added more to that strike with
those three sites being hit. Iran maintains that its nuclear
program is for civilian purposes, but Israel says that the
potential for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon is great,
(13:30):
that it is significant. That is what is informing Israel's
attack on their missile facilities or these nuclear facilities, and
why the United States as well has agreed to enter
into this conflict. And according again to the information coming
out of Iran, Israel launched a wave of air strikes
(13:54):
against missile sites, a nuclear facility, and munitions storage sites
in Iran. And while Iran fired a barrage of ballistic
missiles and launched drones into Israel, the US is again
the US's participation in this is very significant in comparison
(14:16):
to what Israel has done in fact, there have been
commanders killed. Israel's military says that it has killed three
top Iranian commanders. Those deaths have not been immediately confirmed
by Iran, but Israel is saying that three top or
leading commanders were in fact killed. So, of course, the
(14:40):
question on everyone's mind with this is what's next. We
see this bombing, we see the US now participating in
this war between Israel and Iran. What's next? What does
that mean? Well, if President Trump decides to continue sending
American military as he did this evening to help destroy
(15:04):
these uranium enrichment facilities, these nuclear facilities, it will most
likely initiate a more dangerous phase in this war. We
are looking at the potential for a lot more to happen,
and whether or not these strikes will in fact wipe
(15:25):
out Iran's purported nuclear capabilities is still still in question.
That's not yet known, but as of right now, going
after the prominent ones and striking three of the at
least six most prominent nuclear facilities in Iran is indicative
(15:46):
of wanting to make sure that Iran does not have
this nuclear capability. Again, just to rephrase all of this,
if you're just tuning in President Trump has announced that
the United States has struck three nuclear sites in Iran.
Six primary nuclear facilities have been noted in the Iranian region,
(16:09):
and three of them have now been subjected to the
US military force through bombings which have struck three major
nuclear sites, including the most prominent one in the country
or in the city of Fidoh. It looks like Fourdoh,
the large enrichment plants. These are uranium enrichment centers and
(16:35):
they are heavily guarded. But the US has dropped these
bombs on these sites, which is now causing a lot
of question about what the US will do and continue
to do within this war between Israel and i Ran.
We're continuing to follow this story. This is undoubtedly the
biggest news globally, absolutely the biggest news, and we're going
(16:59):
to have ongoing coverage of everything that's going on in Iran. Again,
our planes are on the way home. President Trump says
they are safely on the way home. But this news
is continuing to develop. We'll continue to follow this and
more right here on KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This breaking news out of Iran that posits the United
States directly directly inside of the conflict between Israel and Iran,
because just a little while ago, just about thirty minutes
ago now, President Trump announced on truth Social, his social
(17:45):
media app, that the United States, the United States has
in fact struck three nuclear sites in Iran. Three nuclear
sites in Iran, including the most formidible of those sites
located in the area of foordoh which was hit in
(18:06):
that military strike. President Trump did go on to say
that all of the aircraft are outside of Iranian airspace
and safely on their way home, but he is calling
President Trump is calling this a quote successful attack on
Iranian nuclear sites. So we're in the middle of it.
(18:30):
Everyone we knew this was coming, and we're going to
continue to stay up to speed on all things breaking
about this conflict and hour now positioning in it. We're
also getting word that the President will speak somewhere in
the seven o'clock hour, and if we need to preempt
to cover that, we will certainly do so. So we're
(18:52):
awaiting news about when the President will in fact speak
so we can share with you that specific time. But again,
the USA has struck three nuclear sites in Iran and
what is being called a successful attack on Iranian nuclear sites.
We are going to come back to this story and
(19:13):
break momentarily just to be able to I really want
to make sure that we spend time highlighting our next
guests because it is important and it does speak to
the ongoing kind of conflict in Los Angeles, specifically, Singer
entertainer Vanessa Hernandez aka Nesa, was invited to sing the
(19:35):
national anthem at last weekend's Dodger game against the San
Francisco Giants. You might have seen all over social media
postings about NASA singing the national anthem, and she did.
She sang it beautifully as only she could, but differently
than what was expected because Nesa sang the national anthem
(19:59):
in Spanish, not the first time it's ever been sung
in Spanish, but definitely one of the more sensationalized experiences,
and it caused quite a bit of Controversynessa said that
she did it to honor those protesting ICE throughout Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, I want NASA to.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Tell us what happened in her own words, because a
lot has been said about why and what's happened subsequent
to the choice and the decision made to sing the
national anthem in Spanish. But I felt what better than
to have Neessa on herself to tell her own story. NASA,
Welcome to KFI and thank you so much for coming
(20:42):
on with us.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
No, thank you for taking a second too.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah to have me, Oh, no problem.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
As soon as I heard, I said, I want you
to come on, absolutely, and I want you to come on,
and I want you to clear the air because a
lot of people will undoubtedly try and control your narrative,
so so many rumors. So if I may, I just
want to say this one thing. A lot of people
imagine what they might do in a scenario when they're
(21:09):
faced with making a moral decision or standing up for
something that they feel they should stand up for. I
think we all kind of fantasize about what we would
do if something happened. There are TV shows made out
of those scenarios of what would you do if you
were faced with this?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Well, you did it. You were faced with.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
This decision, and where others may have shied away, you
did it. What did you think just before you started singing?
What was going through your mind?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I mean, for anyone who knows me or anyone who's
in my life. They know that I am the biggest
goody two shoes on the planet and I can't even
cut in line like it truly, I think. I think
when it comes to me, I just something like I
get fueled when it comes to the people that I
feel very protective of, which I'm sure a lot of
(22:01):
people are like that. You know, you you'll go to
the end of the earth or the people you love.
And I think I just felt extremely overprotective of my
Latin community that day, and that's kind of what sparked.
It's what drove me to do it. Otherwise I don't
think I would have been able.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
To right right.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And I think that that motivation of just wanting to
represent those who were underrepresented or misrepresented in those times
was so important.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And for you to do that, I like the Mama
Bear came out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah you did, and you really put an entire community
kind of on your back in that moment before you
took to that proverbial stage to the ground.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
And I've been a Dodger stadium. It is huge. I'm
a Dodger fan.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I'm a Dodger fan and the same Yeah, absolutely, and
there are thousands of people there cheering you on or
not or whatever the case. Again, what did you have
any sort of little voice in your head? Did anyone
say anything to you that you could share with us
before you went up, anything that you were that really
drove you to that moment to make the choice to
(23:10):
sing in Spanish because you had a choice.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I sure did. I also have
the choice to leave, which was an option that I
brought up to my manager. I was like, do I
just leave? Like, do I walk out of here? Because
there's no way in my heart I can sing this
in English right now. And my boyfriend w was so too,
and he was like, look like, if you really feel
like you want to be here for your people, and
then do it. And he's like, you're going to regret
(23:32):
it if you don't. And that was just all I
could hear, the regret. One of my best friends in
the whole world passed away in twenty twenty. His name
was Corey Laberry. I'm sorry, but he he had this saying,
and we all have it tattooed on us now, but
it's he said, don't live with the o wells, live
with the what ifs, and That's basically the mentality I had.
(23:54):
I went out there. I was like, I'm going to
live with the oh, well, whatever happens happens, but at
least I'm not going to live with the what if
of what could what could have been changed here today?
So yeah, bravo, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You know that actually takes one of the questions that
I was going to ask you is if there was
anything that you would have done differently, what would it
have been? But I don't feel you would have done
anything differently.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
I mean, how could I, like, look at the outcome
that that, you know, look at the outcome now, like,
how could have I done anything differently? Never did I
think we would be in a place where the Dodgers
were saying they were going to be donating money. But yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Think you had something to do with that, Miss Vanessa.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I mean it's still it's still everything's happening so fast
that I haven't been able to really process that I
had anything to do with that, because again, my my
normal life has still you know, hasn't been able to
stop moving. So I've been trying to kind of take
all I've been trying to take all of this in. So, yeah,
it's syndrome for the for the max to the max
for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Really impossible syndrome.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
And what that is for those who may be unaware,
is that there's this inherent feeling that you don't deserve
what it is that you're receiving.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
And it's usually a positive thing. Go ahead, and Vanessa.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Correct, Yeah, because I mean there's been so like the
outpour of love, the opportunities that have come my way
this week because of the ninety seconds, you know, ninety
seconds changed my entire life. Yeah, there's just so many
opportunities that have come my way that I'm like, do
I deserve this? Six people that work their whole lives
to get onto this show or to this and this,
And it's just been Yeah, a little bit of imposter
(25:31):
syndrome these past couple of days, but I'm trying to
work through it.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
You absolutely deserve it.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Can you and just briefly tell us what happened after
so were you told you can't come back? Is there
still confusion around that?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
That's the where like the rumors all came about, they
were like she said she was banned. I never in
any video said the word band. I actually was never
even going to come out with the conversation phone call
conversation story until the Dodgers came out with their statements
saying no, she's welcome back, because I was like, that
is definitely not the message I received, which is why
I came forward with my story of the phone call
(26:10):
exchange that happened. Literally ten seconds after I finished, she
called my manager and said, what was that. Wow, you
don't don't email us again. Don't call us ever again.
None of your clients are ever welcome here ever again.
So without saying the word ban, why would I want
to come back even if I was not welcome there? Right?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Never? In that case, now you're not going ever.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, you're not going to show up to a party
you're not invited to, you know what I mean. So yeah,
that was kind of the exchange, and I fully intended
to stay there, like but and then we got that
phone call and I just left. I was like, Okay,
we're not welcome, then let's let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Which is so interesting given that the team is affectionately
called Los Doyer's, the population of fans is predominantly I
would say, you know, at least in the Sands, Hispanics, Latino,
the you know, the clothing, the jerseys are often in Spanish.
So I think Nasa that you reflected the constituency and
I think you did it very well.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Thank you so much. That means so much.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Where can people follow you to continue being along for
this journey as you as you skyrocket into the ether,
as you deserve.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, it's nothing that's happening to my life right now,
feels real, but people can keep up with me. I mean,
it's Unessa all in caps everywhere on Spotify, on Instagram,
it's at baby Nasa. But for the most part, yeah,
it's just NASA in all caps.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
But yeah, well you are busy, my dear, and rightfully so.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
So I'm gonna let you go.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Thank you so much for your time, and you are
more than welcome to come back on KFI and this
show any point.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yes, anytime, anytime. I'll be on anytime.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Thank you, darling. That was NASA.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Make sure that you follow her on Instagram. She's saying
the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodger game, to
a lot of controversial consequence. I would say she did
it beautifully, but not without some pushback. And she just
set the record straight about what happened. We're continuing to
follow this story out of Iran as well, and we
(28:14):
will do so when we come back. Some more updates
about the US's missile strike on those three facilities, those
nuclear facilities in Iran.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
There's a lot going on. Looks like we are now in.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
This conflict between Israel and Iran, and I'll have more
information about that when we come back. It's Saturdays with
Tiffany on KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
We just spoke with Neza, who performed the national anthem
in Spanish at the Dodger game about a week ago,
and she gave us a wonderful interview and insight into
the rumors. She cleared everything up and told us what
exact happened and what's happened since. And of course we
are following this ongoing, developing situation out of Iran. President
(29:09):
Trump took to took to truth social about thirty five
minutes ago or so now and shared with the nation,
with the world that the United States has entered into
the conflict with Israel and Iran. Are between Israel and
Iran striking three nuclear sites in Iran, including the most
(29:32):
formidable and significant of all in the region of Fidah
or city of Florida. That one was hit, and we
will find out more about any sort of casualties, any
sort of destruction to these nuclear sites that is the target.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Those were the targets.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And now we have an expert on His name is
doctor Walter Simmons. He's a major retired from the US Army.
He's also and emerging and see room physicians. So doctor
Simmons knows a lot about what's going on and possibly
can make some predictions about where we are headed as
a country as we enter into this conflict between Israel
(30:14):
and Iran. Doctor Simmons, if I may call you Walter,
thank you so much for coming on.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
All right, appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
You're so so welcome.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Is Walter.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Okay, you're gonna go with doctor Simmons.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
You earned it, so you tell me no, No, Walter,
Walter's just fine. I'd like it to be a very
casual conversation, so just call me Walter.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Wonderful, Thank you so much for coming on with such
short notice. There's so much news breaking, as you know,
and being that you served as in the US Army
as a major you're now retired, and thank you so
much for your service. What predictions, if any, can you
make about the United States now positioning ourselves within this conflict?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
What do you say?
Speaker 5 (31:02):
So? And I appreciate the cause. I also served some
time in a RAT, both inside what we call inside
the tea walls and outside the tea walls which to
be out and sort of the general population etside rat
doing a few missions. But look, I think this is
a the day that was somewhat expected. I think, especially
after the news on Friday. I don't know if you recognize,
(31:24):
but the Iranian spokesperson stated they had no intention really
to negotiate. I think that closed all doors. As you know,
we went through sixty days and negotiations or not we
but Trump went sixty days in negotiations with Iran trying
to get them to agree to a few key elements.
(31:44):
One was no further enrichment. The others were not to
further assist the other proxies in the area with weapons
ballistic missiles, and to decrease their ballistic missile file. They
wouldn't agree essentially to any of those elements. And day
sixty one, that's when Israeli, you know, Israel decided to
start their strikes against Iran. But there were some sites
(32:08):
including uh, you know, really three nuclear sites that also
had deep uh you know, bunker protected areas, and they
just don't have the munitions to get to those particular
sites and we do. So they I think silently requested
that the United States step end with our bunk or
(32:28):
busting opportunity and you know, assist with the ongoing war
between Ise and Iran. But it's really a war, you know,
for the world. Iran present a clear and present danger
in my opinion again, and I'm going to get a
state my opinion. These are not opinions from the you know, military,
so I don't want to speak for anyone but myself. However,
(32:51):
the Iranian situation presents a clan present danger in my
personal opinion to the world. If they have nuclear weapons,
are likely to use them, and a use of nuclear
weapons is going to start issues not just in the
Middle East, but it will spread across the world. That's
a world re initiating event. So I think I wasn't
(33:15):
surprised that we bombed those areas. I think I think
in some ways, by President Trump stating that there'd be
this two week window, he said within two weeks, it
probably created a rush inside the Iranian nuclear sites to
get a bomb developed as quickly as possible, because they
could have been just a couple of weeks away. And
maybe all there are scientists and all the folks that
(33:37):
really do understand how to build one of these weapons,
maybe we're gathered in those sites and now it's the
perfect time to bomb.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Them, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
And speaking about these and thank you for your analysis
of that question. We're speaking to doctor Walter Simmons. We're
going to call him Walter. This is a casual conversation
between friends about what's going on in I ran all
this breaking news and you are a major retired with
the US Army and just continuing with the conversation about
these B too stealth bombers. It's being reported, not yet
(34:07):
confirmed by President Trump, but reported by sources that a
number of these B two stealth bombers were a part
of this mission, and that they were carrying these bunker busters.
How many can bunker busters. Can a stealth bomber actually
carry What does that look like and how does that
enter into the efficacy of what's happening for those of
(34:31):
us who aren't up to speed on all.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Things now, I appreciate that so joly. They can carry
a payload of two of these bombs. They each weigh
about thirty thousand pounds. And I don't know if you recognize,
but there's been this war between bunkers and bunker busting
munitions going on, you know, for generations at this point.
So when the first bunker was created, the first bunker
(34:56):
busting the munition was created, and as the bunkers became
stronger and reinforced and thicker and better built, the munitions
have sort of followed suits.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
And now when you put a a a facility, you know,
sell one hundred feet underground and the four to HO
facility it's probably about three hundred feet underground, and then
it's got several feet of concrete protection as well.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
That's a very pardoned asset to reach. So each of
these self bombers, these b twos, can carry a payload
of two and generally the way it's designed is they
do a run, they drop one that a couple hundred
feet into the ground, and then it explodes and creates
an even larger crater. Then the second munition is designed
(35:45):
to follow just like a you know, splitting a quiver right,
sitting an arrow, right another arrow. It's designed to go
right into that same area and go down as deep
as it can. They're two hundred feet and load again
so you can get to these very deep seed bunkers.
In fact, that munition in particular was created with this
(36:08):
facility in mind, so it's no surprise that that's the
one that they would use. And like I said, the
B two can carry two of these.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Doctor Walter Simmons, thank you so much for your insight
and giving us clarity on what this attack potentially held,
what some of the logistical information involves, including bunker busters
and these B two bombers and wait and payload and
all this vocabulary that's now in the lexicon, because it
(36:38):
will certainly be in the conversation for the days, if
not weeks and months to come as we enter the
US enters into this conflict between Israel and Iran. Thank
you so much for coming on with us, especially in
such short notice.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
No no, I appreciate being on without praise repeace. I
think you know the world praise or peace. I'm hoping
that this brings about a greater level of puce for
the world. And I appreciate you having me on and
thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Definitely all of us collectively praying for peace. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
When we come back, we're going to continue this conversation
about what's happening in Iran. We're tracking all updates coming
out of the region, and we're following the updated information
about our warplanes as they are purported to be safe
and now having left Iranian airspace. So as these developments
(37:30):
continue to unfold, we'll make sure we bring them right
to you here on KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app
