00:04I should just say that we're now hearing an alert, which is an indication that we...

00:09So these are the alerts that go out on all of our phones when you're in Israel.

00:14It's a 10-minute warning of incoming missiles or something incoming from Iran.

00:21So now the location we're in has a verbal alarm telling people to go down into bomb shelters.

00:28So we have about a 10-minute window to get down into a bomb shelter.

00:32And we'll continue to try to broadcast from that bomb shelter, even if we can, on the way down.

00:37Do you guys want to...

00:39Should we go down or do you want to finish this?

01:21It is a luxury to have a 10-minute warning.
