Hour 2 - California’s high-speed rail authority says a nonstop California High-Speed Rail Authority line from San Francisco to Los Angeles could be running by 2039 — but critics question whether the new business plan’s “creative” revenue projections truly add up. We break down the numbers, the skepticism, and what it means for taxpayers. Then, a lighter rail story: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority scores a surprise hit as its cheeky “Ride the D” T-shirts celebrating the D Line subway sell out fast. And we’re joined by Mr. Hossein Majid of Radio Iran KIRN 670 AM to share how the Iranian-American community is reacting to rising tensions abroad, and what listeners are saying as events continue to unfold.
