Six forty wake Up Call with me 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:16.920 Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app kf I n k OST HD two, 3 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:42.520 Los Angeles, Orange County. Happy then, everyone, just jo it's 4 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:52.880 time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King, and it is 5 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:59.079 a happy New Year. It's five o'clock. Good morning, January second, 6 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.719 twenty twenty four. I'm Amy King. Glad you're with us to get back 7 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.280 to regular We were here yesterday, but I think a lot of people were 8 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.239 sleeping it off after a fun New Year's and we were here. But we're 9 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.280 glad you're here today and ready to get going. I think it's going to 10 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.480 be a good year. I think it's going to be a crazy year, 11 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.480 but I think it's going to be a good year. Fingers crossed. Here's 12 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.359 what's ahead on wake Up Call. A large passenger plane has erupted in flames 13 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.200 after crashing into a Coast Guard plane as it tried to land at an airport 14 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.719 in Tokyo. The Coastguard crew was killed, but more than three hundred and 15 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.959 fifty passengers and crew on the other plane were able to escape. A large 16 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.280 group of demonstrators have gathered outside former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco, 17 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.840 calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza strip. The group says it wants 18 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.359 Pelosi to push for money being sent to Israel to fight its war against Tomas 19 00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.319 to be used to help Bay Area residents in need instead. It isn't the 20 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.640 jackpot, but nothing to shake a stick at. One ticket with five of 21 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.639 the six winning powerball numbers was sold in Baker. That ticket is worth one 22 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:14.840 point two million dollars. Someone in Michigan matched all six winning numbers and starts 23 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.639 twenty twenty four as the winner of an eight hundred and forty two million dollar 24 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.080 powerball jackpot. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the 25 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.280 KFI twenty four hour newsrooms. Some shenanigans at the Rose Parade. A woman 26 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.479 has been arrested after police say she tried to rammerr car through a barricade along 27 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.960 the parade route. Pasadena City spokespirst In Lisa Jdarian says the barricades did their 28 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.879 jobs and that several parade watchers could have been injured if the woman, in 29 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.840 her twenties had been able to get through the barricade yesterday morning. Her car 30 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.919 has serious damage. Police say it happened just a few blocks away from a 31 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.120 pro Palestinian protest that briefly interrupted the parade, but that the two are not 32 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.120 related. More than ten people blocked the Rose Parade route right as the parade 33 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.960 was about to start yesterday morning. The group walked in front of the first 34 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.719 float and held up the parade for about fifteen minutes. Later in the day, 35 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.400 about sixty five people held a similar demonstration outside where the parade floats are 36 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.680 on display for the public. Police are looking for a shooter after two people 37 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.719 were killed at a New Year's Eve party in downtown LA. This uber driver 38 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.479 says he had just arrived to pick up four women from the party early Monday 39 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.000 morning. I could see inside the warehouse and the lights and the music and 40 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.120 all that stuff. It was clearly an underground like warehouse party, and there's 41 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.560 hundreds of people everywhere. He says. There was an argument, then the 42 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.000 shooting started. I see a man with a gun, star opening fire, 43 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.240 just wrap it. It's probably within twenty yards and there's shell case things flying. 44 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.280 People are starting to scatter. Several people were injured. At least three 45 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.240 were taken to the hospital. Five crew members have been killed in a fiery 46 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.879 plane crash on the runway of Tokyo's busiest airport during one of the busiest travel 47 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.840 days of the year. Airbus eight three point fifty, which is a large 48 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.280 plane, collide with that Japanese Coast Guard plane and burst into that fireball. 49 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:13.000 ABC's Matt Gutman says officials are investigating the entire airport. Three hundred and seventy 50 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.240 nine passengers on board and the pilot managed to escape. Officials in Japan are 51 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:24.519 assessing the damage and looking for survivors following a massive seven point six earthquake and 52 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.759 its aftershocks. Officials say at least forty eight people have been killed. This 53 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.079 tourist says he was visiting Toyama when the quake hits first. I just thought 54 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.920 it very slowly, and everybody kind of left it off, you know, 55 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.720 they thought, oh, this is kind of humorous, you know, on 56 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:45.120 New Year's Day, and then then it's just a violid shape. Japan's Prime 57 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:58.560 Minister says damage is widespread and casualties are likely to rise. Time Joey, 58 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.000 if you're already feeling a little behind in the New year, maybe an extra 59 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.319 day can help you. In twenty twenty four, there's a leap year, 60 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.000 so instead of three hundred and sixty five days in the calendar, we get 61 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.040 three hundred and sixty six. The day gets added to February every four years 62 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.160 to keep our dates in sync with the seasons. This year's bonus day, 63 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:21.680 of course, falls February twenty ninth. Let's say good morning now to ABC's 64 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.439 Tom Rivers. Tom, I'm kind of putting you on the spot because you're 65 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.439 covering the earthquake in Japan. Do you have any updates on that plane crash 66 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.399 or collision at the Tokyo Airport for us? Yeah, let's start at the 67 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.079 top. Pretty horrific pictures you've seen now, and it's the main airport. 68 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.879 I've only gone through it once, but I remember quite modern, quite a 69 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.240 nice place. Jadina Airport, there a airbus eight three fifty coming down to 70 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:57.600 land jail flight domestic flight, and it clipped another plane on the runway on 71 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:04.560 the tarmac to be a Japanese Coast Guard plane that was preparing to deliver relief 72 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:10.920 a to the western part of Japan because of the earthquake on Monday. Bottom 73 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.319 line is the airbus plane went up very very quickly, but not before everybody. 74 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.199 Amazingly, three hundred and seventy nine people got off of that plane, 75 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:25.680 crew and passengers. As for the Dash eight, the smaller plane, sadly, 76 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.959 it looks like five of the six crew members there perished in the collision 77 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.759 and fire. So yes, tragic day on the airstrip in Tokyo. Yeah, 78 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.480 amazing that everybody got off because if you've seen any of the video from 79 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.240 this morning, that big passenger plane just erupted in flames. Yeah, it 80 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.600 started the very very back of the plane. You could see a couple of 81 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:57.800 windows where the fire was internal at that stage, and then were literally people 82 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.319 you know, got off of that clambered off the thing. And amazingly I 83 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.240 saw the pictures. He didn't know the story. You assumed a lot of 84 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.439 people died, but not the case. Good. Good to hear. And 85 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.079 I'll just take a minute to say thank you to the crew because they are 86 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.920 so well trained to get people off the planes in those situations. Oh very 87 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.839 much. And you know we're all guilty and you know, not paying attention 88 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.879 or if something happened, where is that exit door on your seat? It 89 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.519 makes sense because it happens once a milion, but nobody thought on that plane 90 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.839 would happen today, but it happened to that, all right. So then 91 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.120 you mentioned that that Coast Guard plane was there to bring aid to some of 92 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.319 the areas hit by the earthquake. It's been about twenty four hours since the 93 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.560 swarm of earthquakes at western Japan. There were tsunami warnings. But were there 94 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:55.439 any big waves? No, But I mean they've been through this, they 95 00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:00.360 know the drill. Initially they were fearing there could be up to sixteen foot 96 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:05.199 ways, but that was ratcheted down over the subsequent hours, so that was 97 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.439 not the case. But the death roll sadly has been rising. The current 98 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.519 number is forty eight. And again if you've seen some of the pictures, 99 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.079 we've got crews there now. Some buildings have been destroyed, others are damaged, 100 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.560 and they're probably gonna, you know, sadly, it's gonna the death 101 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.600 toll is gonna rise. In some parts of western Japan. There's no water, 102 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.320 no power, no cell phones, et cetera, et cetera, and 103 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.000 officials say, look of your home, it's got some major faults with it. 104 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.919 Get out of there. There's places for you, schools, auditoriums, 105 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.600 et cetera. So yes, And of course the aftershocks about one hundred and 106 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.919 sixty now and some of them pretty severe. Indeed, that's scary. So 107 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.639 Japan is known for its big quakes, so they're better prepared for shaking like 108 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.200 this than we are in the US or in other parts, because like when 109 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.919 we recently had the was it Afghanistan or Pakistan, they had a big quake 110 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.240 and it was a similar size, but thousands of people died, oh very 111 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:15.440 much. It has to do with the history and also building codes. You 112 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.759 know, building codes mean life or death, and you know, some countries 113 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.799 you know it is what it is. And I will often see, for 114 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.720 instance, think back to last year in Turkey, some real, real tragic 115 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.279 stories coming out of there. But if you have correct building codes, you 116 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.960 got a fighting chance with something big like a seven point six come down the 117 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.960 road. Yeah, you know. And I was watching video of some of 118 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.840 the shaking, which is always so fascinating to watch people and their reactions. 119 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.159 And what I saw was it looked like it was inside a department store, 120 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.279 and you could see the shaking and some pretty severe jolts, and people were 121 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.559 just very calm and kind of they kind of hunkered down a little bit, 122 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.080 but they did run out into the streets or anything. I think that their 123 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.039 reaction, probably because they're used to the quakes, is so different than in 124 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.440 other areas of the world, I guess. So, you know, I 125 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.600 had an experience just once in Japan with an earthquake and happened to be the 126 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.159 Olympics in nineteen ninety eight in Nagano, and you know, I could see, 127 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.600 you know, in my bed, and the and the light on the 128 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.399 ceiling starts starts moving to and froing. So I just slowly got up and 129 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.000 got outside of that, out of the village. But talking to people that 130 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.080 came from your neck of the words, woulds they go that small potatoes top, 131 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.039 no big deal. Well, if you've never been there, you do 132 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.039 take notice. Put it that way absolutely. So you said that there's a 133 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.600 possibility the casualty numbers could rise. What is next? What do they do 134 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.879 now to start recovering from this? Yeah, well, let's you know, 135 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.200 here we go from you know, day one recovery, and that's going to 136 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.639 take months and months in layman's terms. Looking at some of these buildings, 137 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.000 they're going to have to be ripped down, and of course quake zones you 138 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.639 have to go through the rubble, and of course we're in the critical hours 139 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.120 now and trying to find may not be many, but you can find some 140 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.960 miraculous stories of people trapped for fill in the blank hours or days being pulled 141 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.679 out and then you go from there. Do we have any idea of the 142 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:33.039 number of people who are missing or unaccounted for. No, we don't have 143 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.960 that figure yet, but as I say, the officials are ramping up the 144 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.960 death numbers and they say be prepared for more. Yeah, all right, 145 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.000 Tom Rivers, thank you so much for the information. Appreciate it and appreciate 146 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.879 the update on that plane collision at the Tokyo Airport as well for you. 147 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.840 Take care, all right, take care. Let's get back to some of 148 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.960 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Snow could be 149 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.240 coming to parts of La County. The National weathersit Service has issued a winter 150 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.200 weather advisory with three to eight inches of snow expected in the mountains. The 151 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.799 advisory is up from three Tomorrow morning until ten am Thursday for the San Gabriel 152 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:16.039 Mountains in Highway fourteen corridor it'll affect Pyramid Lake act in Warm Springs, Mill 153 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.519 Creek, Mount Wilson, Mount Baldy, Right Wood, and the Angelus Crest 154 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.600 Highway. Detectives say they're trying to figure out who shot five people in Hawthorne 155 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.279 and why. When Hawthorne police officers arrived on scene at a strip mall in 156 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.159 the fourteen one hundred block of Crenshaw Boulevard, they said they initially found a 157 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.639 man and woman who had been shot, but after La County Sheriff's investigators pitched 158 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.919 in to help with the case, they said they found out three others had 159 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.840 also been shot. The five were taken to various hospitals. The woman later 160 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.919 died, the man was in stable condition, and the status of the other 161 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.600 three is unknown. The shooting happened just after midnight Saturday. Steve Gregory k 162 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.279 off I News Taylor Swift Is kicked off twenty twenty four by breaking another chart 163 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.399 record. ABC's Jason Nathanson says Taylor's version of nineteen eighty nine top the Billboard 164 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:07.240 two hundred for a fifth non consecutive week, bringing her total number of weeks 165 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.960 at number one across all of her albums to sixty eight one, more than 166 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.960 the previous solo music act leader Elvis Presley. The King's last number one came 167 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.679 in two thousand and two. Only one band has beaten Elvis and Swift, 168 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.559 and that would be The Beatles.

Michigan will face Washington for the National College Football title on Monday. 176 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.399 The Wolverines earned their spot in the title game with a thrilling twenty seven to 177 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:07.399 twenty overtime win over Alabama at the Rose Bowl at six five.

Somebody in San Bernardino County has become an instant millionaire, 179 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:18.000 but someone in Michigan is almost a billionaire. Let's say good morning to the 180 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.600 host of How to Money Speaking of big Bucks on KFI, Joel Larsgard. 181 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.679 Good morning and happy New Year. Jowels, Happy New Year, Amy. 182 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.759 So, since it's the start of a new year, we thought we'd start 183 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.120 fresh and set some good money goals. That's a good idea. I mean, 184 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.679 I think there's a lot that people want to accomplish in twenty twenty four, 185 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.720 everything from maybe losing weight, getting a little more fit, and then 186 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.600 you know, paying off some debt or getting your money in order is just 187 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.159 another high priority on people's lists. And I think I have some tips that 188 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.799 I want to share with people, because one, I want people to live 189 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.600 in reality. The sometimes I don't know, if you've ever set a goal 190 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.240 that was too audacious and you fell flat on your face. That's going to 191 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.720 happen to so much many people. That is why February first, there are 192 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.080 half as many people at the gym as there are January second, right, 193 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.240 And so if you if you make it a goal to let's say, go 194 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.200 to the gym every single day, at some point you're gonna screw it up 195 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.159 and then you're gonna get demotivated pretty quickly. I would have already broken that 196 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.679 one, right, Yeah, exactly same here. So I just I want 197 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.480 people to have big goals and try to make big progress this year. But 198 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.360 if you try to overdo it, the chances are you're going to make slim 199 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.679 to no progress. Okay, So maybe baby steps is a better way to 200 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.440 go. Yeah, And I think it's exactly like work back from that big 201 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.720 goal and say, okay, is this actually feasible and break it up into 202 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.440 a bunch of smaller goals and a timeline too, timeline it out. One 203 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.159 of the things I want people to do is to write down those goals, 204 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.080 keep some sort of physical reminder in front of you. The bathroom mirror is 205 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.440 the perfect place to do this. Let's say you're trying to pay off a 206 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.159 lot of debt, right and you know those like thermometers that you can you 207 00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.399 can fill in as like you're making progress and paying off debt or something like 208 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.399 that. Make it colorful, stick it somewhere you're going to see it every 209 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.840 day, so that so that that goal is not just kind of there in 210 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.080 the back of your mind, it's there in the forefront of your face most 211 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.519 day in and day out. Okay, So Joel I like this topic because 212 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.159 it's very relevant to me right now. So you've got a big chunk of 213 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.519 money that you need to pay off, right and like you said, it 214 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.399 sounds or it looks like if you just look at it on paper, you 215 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.360 go, that's too big. I can't do that. How do you make 216 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:36.919 that realistic? So you can take those bites out and not get discouraged because 217 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.159 I notice, like, if I can't pay off my credit card at the 218 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.559 end of the month, I get like, oh, I get stressed out 219 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.440 about it, like, oh, it's too big, it's too big, 220 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.120 Like, so, how do you kind of make it more palatable? Yeah, 221 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:52.639 well, you have to run the numbers, right, because again, 222 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.360 if it's pie in the sky and it's like, well, I think I 223 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.080 can pay off fifteen thousand dollars worth a credit card tet this year, but 224 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:03.440 you don't have anywhere close to that in additional additional money that you can sling 225 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.400 towards that credit card debt, then you have no chance of accomplishing it. 226 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.759 So you have to know the numbers. How much am I bringing in? 227 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.160 How much is going out? Can I cut back here and there? Can 228 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.839 I bring in more money over here somehow? And you got to just you 229 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.640 got to know that first, right, and so once you know the numbers, 230 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.960 it's going to be a lot easier. And then you also have to 231 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.559 give yourself some grace. Say listen, okay, and no I did find 232 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.079 that fifteen thousand dollars. It looks like through the course of twenty twenty four, 233 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.359 I'm going to have that money to pay towards credit card debt. But 234 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.079 it's going to be slow but sure, and even still there might be a 235 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.160 setback, right, you might get a nail in your tire, and so 236 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.799 you have to be gracious, be gracious about it, and say, listen, 237 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.240 I thought I was going to pay off fifteen K in credit card debt 238 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.039 this year. Looks like I only got to eleven or twelve. And that's 239 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.319 still a major win. Right. That got you a lot closer to where 240 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.240 you want to be than if you had just kind of sat on the couch 241 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.640 and not really given it a go. And I like the thing about have 242 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.359 some grace. It's just like it's with a diet plan. I mean, 243 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:02.960 you're going to screw it up. So the question is then do you get 244 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.240 right back on the horse and continue on your merry way? Or do you 245 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.880 let it completely derail your plan. Yeah. And by the way, and 246 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.039 when I said put it in front of your face, do something else. 247 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.400 Set a calendar event once a month for you, for you and your spouse, 248 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.079 your partner, whatever, to have money conversations. Do it with a 249 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.799 craft beer or a glass of wine or something like that. Make it fun. 250 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.000 I think so many times we try to make money conversations these like something 251 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.319 out of the Middle Ages, and they're they're you know, they're awful. 252 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:33.880 It's like I'm in I'm in some sort of like prison and we have to 253 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.720 talk about the subject that nobody wants to talk about. Man. I think 254 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.759 that if you could reframe the conversation, set it up to have a fun 255 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.640 monthly combo every every month about money as a topic. Because the truth is, 256 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.119 getting your money right is going to help fund the goals that you really 257 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.480 want. It's not just about debt payoff right, It's about the freedom that 258 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.279 comes with that. It's not just about saving up ten grand. It's about 259 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.839 being able to buy a car with cash, or about being able to take 260 00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.880 that vacation you've always wanted to take your family on. So getting your money 261 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.839 straight has a lot of great potential consequences, but you've got to reframe it 262 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.759 and think about the good that you can accomplish with your money and not just 263 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.559 the bad stuff you're trying to overcome. Okay, now, speaking of money, 264 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.839 we had a really good end to the year in the stock market and 265 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.960 that probably is reflected in people's four oh one ks. But you're saying, 266 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.440 danger, Will Robinson, don't look too closely at those numbers. Yeah, 267 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.960 this, so this is something people usually talk about, not looking at your 268 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.839 four oh one k if the market is in a panic, right, if 269 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.640 it's like a twenty twenty two style year where the market's down something like twenty 270 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.119 percent, people are like, don't look at your four one K balance, 271 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.640 it's too scary. And guess what, you don't need that money for years 272 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.440 or decades anyway, so just tune it out. Well, crazy enough, 273 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:53.160 The same thing on the opposite end can be true about not looking at your 274 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.599 four to one K balance if it's up substantially and if you've been investing a 275 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.160 reasonable amount of dollars. I've seen over the past year a substantial increase in 276 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.759 your net worth, and yeah, it can actually inflate your ego. It 277 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.440 creates something called the wealth effect, and it's this behavioral economics term that says, 278 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.359 hey, you feel like you're richer even though you're not going to tap 279 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.119 those funds for years or decades. Maybe you become a little more flippant with 280 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.720 your eating out, or you decide to buy something that you otherwise wouldn't because 281 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.200 hey, I can do fine on paper, my net worth is increased. 282 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.279 And while I get I understand why people would do that, it's not a 283 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.759 good approach because it's not like you're tapping those funds yet. And so it's 284 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.440 great that your net worth is up. It's great that the stock market went 285 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.279 up significantly last year, no bones about that. But I just want people 286 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.599 to not be obsessed with the number and not be looking at it frequently. 287 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.559 Twice a year is plenty, and just kind of it's the set it and 288 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.519 forget it approach that I want people to take. That where they're sticking money 289 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.079 in like clockwork, and then what net worth is growing, but whether it's 290 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.759 going down in a given month or year or up in a given month or 291 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.079 year, for the most part, it just doesn't bother them because they care 292 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.519 about where that what that account's going to look like in ten or twenty years, 293 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:11.279 okay, And then just real quick, our producer and when we started 294 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.759 talking about what we were going to be discussing today, and we talked about 295 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.440 not looking at your four oh one k and she said, what about looking 296 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.480 at your credit score? Because now you can look at your credit score all 297 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.759 the time. Is it a good idea to look at it very often? 298 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.440 It's fun. I love that Ann does this, and I'm not trying to 299 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.319 harp on you, no worries you do you, but it's another one of 300 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.640 those things where you can obsess over that, right, And I'm all about 301 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.559 kind of getting familiar with how the credit scoring system works and checking in on 302 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.680 your credit score. There's an app called Credit Karma that does a really good 303 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.319 job and it offers like a scorecard to tell you where you can improve, 304 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.480 how you can beef up your credit score, which is really great. Let's 305 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.920 say you're trying to buy a house or something like that, you got to 306 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.400 get a mortgage. That credit score is super important. But you can overdo 307 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.640 that too, right, And so the truth is a lot of people are 308 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.519 aiming for that eight to fifty credit score. They want perfection. But the 309 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.680 credits scoring model is so convoluted it's pretty hard to hit perfection, and so 310 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.559 all you need to do good enough is good enough. It's like horseshoes here. 311 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.720 It's not something super precise. And so as long as you're in the 312 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.240 seven sixty range or higher, you're totally fine. If you're at seven eighty 313 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.119 and you're like obsessed with your credit score, stop chill, you don't and 314 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.480 why why are you overthinking it? It's good to be it's good to have 315 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.119 a great credit score. It's good to be familiar with the credit scoring system, 316 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.279 but you can also overdo it and turn something that you know. I've 317 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:34.559 never liked the credit scoring system anyway. I don't love the credit bureaus. 318 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.359 But this is like a necessary evil that we have to understand and get familiar 319 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.039 with. But you also, yeah, there's no need to look at it 320 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.599 every day. That's right. Thank you so much for this information to start 321 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.599 our new year, and Joel's going to have so much more for you coming 322 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.920 up this weekend on How to Money with Joel, and that is Sundays from 323 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.079 noon to two right here on KFI. Joel, Happy new Year, and 324 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.240 we look forward to getting lots and lots of good financial advice from you this 325 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.759 whole year. Yeah, I look forward to it too, Thanks adye. 326 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.359 All right, take care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 327 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.240 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Three people have been found dead 328 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.079 inside a home that caught fire in Arcadia, LA. Fire says the house 329 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.920 and attached garage were fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived on scene on Tyler 330 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.720 Avenue or on one this morning. The people killed haven't yet been identified. 331 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:26.119 The FBI's investigating whether a crash in New York on New Year's Day was terrorism. 332 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.920 Police the two people were killed in five were hurt yesterday when a Ford 333 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.920 suv hit a car that was leaving a parking lot near the Kodak Center. 334 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.240 First Responders found at least a dozen gasoline canisters inside the Ford. It's unclear 335 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.640 why the driver was transporting so much gas. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says police around 336 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.160 the country have opped security over concern that the war between Israel and Hamas could 337 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.519 lead to violence in the US. Investigators say the driver went to the Syracuse 338 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.640 Airport before the crash to rent the suv. About one thousand people were at 339 00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:02.440 Kodak for a concert. January Tewod is National Swiss Cheese Day. The Holy 340 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.000 Cheese was created in the thirteen hundreds in Switzerland. The cheese is a light 341 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.480 yellow, medium hard cheese with holes or what are referred to as eyes. 342 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.599 The Swiss consume about forty eight pounds of their famous cheese a year. That's 343 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.519 a lot of cheese. A large passenger plane is erupted in flames after crashing 344 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.599 into a Coast Guard plane as it tried to land at an airport in Tokyo. 345 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.480 The Coastguard crew was killed, but more than three hundred and fifty passengers 346 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.599 and crew on the other plane were able to escape. A large group of 347 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.880 demonstrators have gathered outside former House speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco, calling 348 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.200 for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The group says it wants Pelosi to 349 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.759 push for money being sent to Israel to fight its war against Tomas to be 350 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.160 used to help Bay Area residents in need. Instead. The makers of a 351 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.440 baby formula for babies with allergies to cow's milk or recalling the formula because of 352 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:55.599 possible bacteria contamination. The recall is for twelve point six and nineteen point eight 353 00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.920 ounce cans of neutromagen with a used by date of January first, twenty twenty 354 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.440 five. Let's say good morning to ABC's ike aed Jachi. Good morning and 355 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.839 happy new year. Ike. Yes, happy new year to you too. 356 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:12.920 So, as we're looking into twenty twenty four, I know that like the 357 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:18.160 Biden administration's focusing on the economy, saying things are getting better, but Americans 358 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.400 don't necessarily want to talk about the economy. They're thinking we should, We 359 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.559 need to set a different priority for twenty twenty four. That's right, This 360 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.960 is one very new thing that Americans are starting to speak up about. Four 361 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:36.200 and ten US the Bodes meaned foreign policy topics as a focus for the US 362 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:41.279 government moving forward in twenty twenty four. Now they're pointing to two very recent 363 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:47.839 con conflicts. Israel Hamas war that's still feeding public anxiety. That conflict was 364 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.119 mentioned by five percent, well almost no one signed a year ago. It's 365 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.359 a nation that's dominated geopolitics since Israel to quar war in Hamas and gods after 366 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.880 that October seventh attack. And also four percent of the mentioned the conflict between 367 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:07.160 Russia and Ukraine. That's something their government should also focus on. Both parties, 368 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.880 they're listening foreign policy as gaining importance forty six percent of Republican thing it 369 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.720 that's up through twenty three percent last year, and thirty four percent Democrats list 370 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.759 foreign policy as a focal point compared to sixteen percent last year. But a 371 00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:26.240 lot of this has an undertone of economic anxiety as well. If you look 372 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:32.319 at the Russia and Ukraine conflict, Russia constitutes a large portion of natural gas 373 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.440 production in the world. Look at Ukraine, they make up thirty percent of 374 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:42.319 the world's wheat production. Those two things greatly affected the Americans bottom line last 375 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.519 year. You can see that by the prices at the pump and even the 376 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:49.799 prices at the grocery store all across the board. They went up. So 377 00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:56.960 we're seeing Americans right now tune in to this Israel Hamas war right now and 378 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:03.359 really move forward with anxiety their own bottom line. And we're starting to see 379 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.640 a little aspect of that now with how the United States has been shooting down 380 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.640 those drones in the sea, the Red Sea right there in the Middle East. 381 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.759 That's seed, that's trade that's affected. That's our major thoroughfare for a 382 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:22.119 lot of the world's commerce and trade routes. Those large cargo ships flew through 383 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.000 that area. That's affected, that's going to go into affects prices across the 384 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.720 board in all sectors of our economy. So now that it affects us, 385 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:34.799 we care about it for the most part. Right, ike, thanks so 386 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.160 much. We know you got to run, and we appreciate your time this 387 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.319 morning. Looking forward to talking to you many more times than twenty twenty four. 388 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.880 Likewise, take care, great, take care. Let's get back to 389 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.480 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 390 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.599 man has been found shot to death in a car near a golf course in 391 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:53.440 Santa Clarita. People who live in the area had called nine to one one 392 00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.960 to report hearing gunshots along Vista Fairways Drive, and when deputies arrived in the 393 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.240 early morning hours of Smiths Eve, they said they didn't see anything, but 394 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.960 another caller directed them down a little further to the twenty five to seven hundred 395 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.559 block, where they found a car stopped in the middle of the street inside 396 00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:12.519 a man in the driver's seat unresponsive. He was pronounced dead later at a 397 00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:18.279 hospital. Investigators say they have no leads and no motive Steve Gregory, King 398 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.920 of Fine News. Voters in California unaffiliated with a party can vote for a 399 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.599 presidential candidate in March no party preference. Voters have to request a crossover ballot. 400 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.720 Voters can request a mail in crossover ballot all the way through February twenty 401 00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:36.440 seven. People voting in person can ask for a crossover ballot all the way 402 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:40.920 through election day on March fifth. A judge has denied a request to block 403 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.200 Huntington Beach from putting voter ID laws on the ballot in March. The measure, 404 00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.319 Huntington Beach City attorney Michael Gates says, would increase the number of in 405 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.599 person polling places, allow dropboxes to be monitored with cameras, and require voter 406 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.559 ID at the polls. The city council said, let's let the people of 407 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.880 Huntington Beach decide to make sure things are done right and to build confidence in 408 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.240 the process and the system and the results. Frankly, a judge Thursday said 409 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.839 the temporary injunction was premature, but the lawsuit can resume if the proposal passes. 410 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.559 The lawsuit claims the measure is an unconstitutional attempt to make it harder for 411 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:18.279 people to vote in Orange County co Ben Carson kf I News no more than 412 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.039 two hundred lowriders have cruised the streets of East LA to celebrate a new law 413 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:30.039 lifting restrictions on lowrider cruising. This car fanatic says low riders are a staple 414 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:36.720 in Southern California. Cruising is our lifestyle, it's our culture, it's our 415 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.359 life. Governor Newsom signed a bill in October prohibiting lowrider bands and anti cruising 416 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.240 ordinances across the state. The law went into effect yesterday. The lowrider culture 417 00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:52.079 was developed by Mexican Americans in southern California after World War II. The IDF 418 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.920 has started the year by withdrawing thousands of soldiers out of the Gaza Strip. 419 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.200 Israel says it still expects the war to last for of twenty twenty four. 420 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:04.759 The Prime Minister's office telling ABC News and Israeli team will head to Cairo this 421 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:10.720 week to discuss a potential hostage deal, but no breakthrough is eminent. ABC's 422 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.160 Marcus Moore says some residents in southern Israel near Gaza have gotten the ok to 423 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.200 go home, but life in those communities will never be the same. Ukraine's 424 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:23.279 two largest cities have been attacked by Russian ballistic missiles. Officials say at least 425 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.640 four people were killed and almost one hundred others were hurt. As the war 426 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:32.400 approaches its two year mark, Ukraine's President Zelensky says the cities were hit with 427 00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:37.880 hypersonic missiles that fly ten times the speed of sound. Hospitals in southern California 428 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.400 have delivered their first babies of twenty twenty four. Javir entered the world yesterday 429 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:45.960 at one thirty eight am in Long Beach. His parents were gifted a first 430 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.759 baby basket in honor of having the hospital's first baby of the year. In 431 00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:56.400 Lomalinda, baby Dove was born at two nine am at Lomlinda University Children's Hospital. 432 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.599 Theodore was born at three forty two at Ua Sea Verdugo Hills Hospital in 433 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.519 Glendale, and Nicholas was born in Panorama City at five five am at Kaiser 434 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:12.039 Permanente. The southern California coast is in for another round of big waves. 435 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:17.720 The National Weather Service expects the high surf to hit Wednesday and Thursday, and 436 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.839 then again Saturday and Sunday. LA County could see waves between four and six 437 00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:26.000 feet high. Ventura County could see seven to twelve foot waves, and further 438 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.079 north, the central Coast is expecting ten to eighteen foot waves. Police are 439 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.480 looking for the shooter who opened fire on an underground New Year's Eve party in 440 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.920 downtown LA. Two people were killed early Monday morning. Up to eight others 441 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.480 were hurt. At least three were taken to the hospital. Michigan is going 442 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.279 to face Washington for the National College Football title on Monday. The Wolverines earned 443 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.160 their spot in the title game with a thrilling twenty seven twenty overtime win over 444 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:59.000 Alabama at the Rose Bowl yesterday. We're just minutes away from handle on the 445 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.519 news this morning, why Dave Chappelle walked off stage during the middle of his 446 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.039 set at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida. Right now, let's say 447 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.279 good morning and Happy New Year to ABC's Steven Portnoy. Hi, Stephen, 448 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.400 Hey, good morning, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. So two 449 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.079 states have disqualified former President Trump from the ballot. What's next, Well, 450 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.200 next is the appeals and it's important that we as we can lump them together, 451 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:27.599 which is an easy way to think of it. But the really important 452 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.559 way to do it is to remember that the Colorado case is ripe for Supreme 453 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.039 Court consideration. The main case we heard about last week is not the main 454 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.920 Secretary of State issued for ruling that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection and their force 455 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.519 disqualified. But the right course in Maine is to appeal that to the state 456 00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:44.279 court, and that's what could start as soon as today. We expect that 457 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.839 Trump will file his appeal in Maine and then it'll wind its way through the 458 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.920 courts in Maine. But the Colorado case is already at the steps of the 459 00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:53.200 Supreme Court, and we expect Donald Trump to file and appeal there today. 460 00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.119 The Colorado Republican Party already has and separately from the Fourteenth Amendment cases that I've 461 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.279 discussed so far, there's the d C. Circuit Court of Appeals argument over 462 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.319 whether Trump enjoys absolute immunity from prosecution in the January sixth case that is set 463 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:14.160 for oral argument a week from today. It'll stream online soever we can all 464 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.880 listen together. But leading up to that, Trump's lawyers face an afternoon deadline 465 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.839 today to make one more filing on paper. They're legal brief to tee up 466 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:27.759 the oral arguments next week. She's keeping track of everything that's going on with 467 00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:30.920 him in court. It's just got to be. It's kind of a daunting 468 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:36.400 task. It is a reason for being for me, giving me something to 469 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:37.279 do. But listen, you know, as hard as it is to follow 470 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.160 the bouncing ball of Trump's legal matters, think of that. It's also happening 471 00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.640 during the political season and with a lot going on here in Washington, DC 472 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.599 as we cover Congress. So to follow that bouncing ball. We're two weeks 473 00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:53.519 away, less than two weeks away from the Iowa caucus that's for thirteen days 474 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:59.839 away the Monday after next and we're three weeks away from the New Hampshire primary. 475 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.079 Is a government funding deadline about two and a half weeks from now, 476 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.519 with Congress kicking the can for a number of agencies for their funding to run 477 00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:14.599 out on January nineteenth. There's the overall question of Ukraine and Israel AID tied 478 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:19.000 up in the discussion about border policy that is the subject of ongoing negotiations in 479 00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.199 the Senate. No end to that just yet. So there's a lot to 480 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.840 keep on top of here. Yeah, and has in that the funding package 481 00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:30.599 because we know that We talked about it quite a bit before the Christmas holiday, 482 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:36.159 that one hundred and six billion dollars they were just not getting to agreement 483 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.440 because it wasn't tied to border funding, and which kind of leaves both Israel 484 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:44.119 and Ukraine in limbo. Has there been any kind of movement, Are we 485 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.639 hearing any rumblings or just nothing? Well, the talks continued through the Christmas 486 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.440 New Year break and they have not resulted in an agreement. Yet they might 487 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:59.159 when Congress comes back next week. The point though, is that even if 488 00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.000 there's by part of agreement in the Senate on border policy changes that are amenable 489 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.400 to Republican leaders in the Senate and to the White House, you're going to 490 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.880 have a problem with Republicans in the House signing onto this because they're going to 491 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:12.719 be inherently skeptical. They're going to argue it doesn't go nearly far enough. 492 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.239 They've passed a package that you've heard about, Hr. Two that I read 493 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:22.679 into this morning. It is an expansive bill that initiates restarts the construction of 494 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:28.920 the border wall. It severely curbs attempts to claim asylum, and Republicans say 495 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:34.840 this is necessary to curb the draw that has pulled migrants to the border in 496 00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.400 these unprecedented numbers. They say that the law needs to be reformed so that 497 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:43.360 if people are coming to this country, even sneaking across the border, not 498 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.960 even lining up at ports of entry, but coming in, they should not 499 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:50.840 be able to make an asylum claim. Nearly ninety percent of the time these 500 00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:54.320 assignment claims are rejected anyway, and it takes years for these cases to be 501 00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.000 heard. So what happens in the meantime while these people come to the country 502 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:02.119 and they simply settle and have family here, and they are deemed by the 503 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:09.639 government or by society to be not deportable. So the idea is that the 504 00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:14.639 Republicans argue that the law should be fundamentally changed, and that's what HR two 505 00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.480 would do. I mean, it's a Republican wish list for immigration reform, 506 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:24.760 and it has been deemed extreme and unacceptable and by Democrats and immigration rights activists. 507 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.320 So any agreement that might come out of the border security talks in the 508 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.159 Senate is going to have a very difficult time in the House. Yeah, 509 00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:34.880 and it'll be interesting to watch too, because, like you said that, 510 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:42.119 they're saying no it's just too extreme. But the way that our system is 511 00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:45.159 set up now, everybody's not looking for compromise. They want the extreme, 512 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.480 or at least that's the appearance that they give, which makes it that much 513 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:54.280 harder to get anything done or to start reform because they're saying it looks like 514 00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:58.719 it's an all or nothing. All you've heard for years is that the system 515 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:02.400 is broken. Yepttempts to fix it. There's no agreement on what would fix 516 00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:07.400 it because to liberals and immigrant rights activists, the way to fix it is 517 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.280 to simply grant legal status and hope, you know, allow more people in 518 00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:15.159 and grant them permission to stay. To Republicans, the the way to fix 519 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:19.119 the broken system is to patch what they see as holes in the process and 520 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:22.679 to make it harder for people to come. Okay, well, we're going 521 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:24.239 to be watching it and lee. As you mentioned. Then, backing up 522 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.519 to the Trump thing, we're expecting to see Trump's lawyers to appeal as soon 523 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:35.000 as today, and that would be appealing the main ruling. Well, there's 524 00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.920 three separate things. So there's the main ruling, we expect an appeal in 525 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:39.719 state court. There's the Colorado case. We expect an appeal to the Supreme 526 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.199 Court. And in the d C Circuit here in Washington, d C. 527 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.559 There's a new filing. It's expected by the end of the day in the 528 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.119 absolute immunity case. Okay. And then along with all of that, there 529 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.800 are several other states who are still trying to get Trump off the ballot. 530 00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:59.480 Well, that's right. I mean, you know, we'll wait until we 531 00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:02.039 hear one way or the other from some sort of arbitrator in each of those 532 00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:07.280 states. It's almost too much to keep track of. But the bottom line 533 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.880 is it's going to be up to the Supreme Court to decide the application of 534 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.639 an amendment to the Constitution that was drafted in eighteen sixty six in the immediate 535 00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:19.599 aftermath of the Civil War, with expressed intent of those who wrote it to 536 00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:24.159 apply to those took part in the war against States the Civil War itself. 537 00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.239 But I've dug into some of the legislative history of the fourteenth Amendment, and 538 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.440 it was mentioned in eighteen sixty six that the way it was written, it 539 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:36.760 would apply not just to the Civil War, but to future rebellion or insurrection. 540 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:38.719 And in fact, in the early twentieth century, around the time of 541 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:43.559 World War One, there were a couple of attempts to try to invoke the 542 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:49.719 Fourteenth Amendment to prevent socialists from getting elected to Congress if they were aligned or 543 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.039 believed to be aligned with enemies of the United States in World War One. 544 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:57.039 And so if you have a couple of instances where since the Civil War the 545 00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:04.000 fourteenth Amendment had been invoked, it stands to reason that it could apply to 546 00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:08.280 Donald Trump if you believe, as the arbitrators or the arbiters in Colorado and 547 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:13.679 Main have the Trump engaged an insurrection. But a key question, how do 548 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.280 you know that he did? Who's to say that he did? Well? 549 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.840 The Supreme Court's going to have to dive into this to answer those questions. 550 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.360 All right, and we will be watching Steven port Ando. I thank you 551 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.000 so much for the information, and we're looking forward to getting all kinds of 552 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:29.679 great information from you this coming year. You bet. All right, Let's 553 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.320 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 554 00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:35.760 newsroom. Three hundred and seventy nine passengers and a pilot on a plane in 555 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:39.199 Tokyo have been able to escape a fiery crash on the runway of the city's 556 00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:44.400 busiest airport. The Japanese Coast Guard says a plane hit a Coastguard plane and 557 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:50.000 burst into flames. Five crew members were killed. Investigators say they're trying to 558 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:53.159 find the people responsible for the shooting death of a woman in Hawthorn. Just 559 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:58.679 after midnight Saturday, officers with the Hawthorne Police Department were sent to the fourteen 560 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:05.119 hundred fourteenth block of Crenshaw Avenue after getting reports of gunshots. Officers say they 561 00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.719 found a man and woman with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to the hospital. 562 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.559 The woman died a short time later. The man's in stable condition. 563 00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:15.800 Investigators say it was determined later that three others were also shot and taken to 564 00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:22.119 hospitals. Their conditions are not known. A feasibility study has finally cleared a 565 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:27.400 one hundred acre cemetery for Gypsum Canyon in Anaheim, following ten years of political 566 00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:30.039 wrangling. We are the only large county in the state that doesn't have a 567 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.079 veteran cemetery. Veterans. The Lines of OC President Nick Bardino says the county 568 00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:40.039 has one hundred and thirty thousand veterans. A significant number of families are cremating 569 00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:46.039 their veterans and keeping their urns in storage or in their omes waiting for the 570 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:51.360 Orange County Cemetery to be built. Phase one is expected to cost one hundred 571 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.320 and twenty six million dollars. The county and state have put up forty five 572 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:57.280 million of that, with the goal that a federal grant will chip in the 573 00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:01.400 rest in Orange County Corbin Carson Caws and as you make your travel plans. 574 00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:07.679 Something to keep in mind, which airline is the most reliable? Nerdwallet did 575 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.719 a study. They looked at on time percentages, cancelation rates, flight diversions, 576 00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:20.239 mishandled baggage, tarmac to play delays, and also involuntary denied boardings. 577 00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:23.880 What's an involuntary denied boarding anyway? They looked at all these factors to see 578 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:31.360 which is the most reliable best airline. The best airline on time percentage is 579 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:38.719 Delta Airlines eighty point eight percent of its flights arrive on time. Alaska came 580 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:45.880 in second at seventy nine point nine percent. The worst performing airlines Frontier with 581 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:51.320 just sixty two percent of its flights arriving within fifteen minutes of the scheduled arrival 582 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:55.039 time, and then Jet Blue which had a just over a sixty five percent 583 00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:01.360 on time percentage. They also looked at how many how many bags get lost 584 00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:08.159 and Allegiant actually has the best record for lost or mishandled bags. Just one 585 00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:12.719 out of every six hundred and ten bags checked was lost, delayed, or 586 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:20.519 mishandled. The airline that has the highest lost or delayed luggage record is American 587 00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:25.079 and United. And then overall, as you're booking your flights, I'm all 588 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:30.880 for this. Alaska Airlines is rated the most reliable airline for twenty twenty three. 589 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.760 Delta Airlines came in second. Something to keep in mind is you're making 590 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:38.800 your plans for flying around the world or around the country in twenty twenty four. 591 00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:45.360 This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
