Here's what's ahead on wake up call. About two 7 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.560 dozen former LA School District employees who were fired for refusing to get the COVID 8 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:48.320 nineteen vaccine have held a protest outside district headquarters in downtown LA. They're demanding 9 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:53.439 they be rehired, get back pay and lost wages, and get a public 10 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.039 apology. The district ended its COVID VACS mandate last week. The Angels have 11 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.560 fired manager Phil Nevin after the team missed the playoffs for the ninth straight season. 12 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.480 Nevin's replacement will be the Angel's fourth manager in six seasons. No One 13 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.439 matched all six winning numbers from last night's powerball drawing. That pushes the next 14 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.680 jackpot to one point two billion dollars for Wednesday night's drawing. At six oh 15 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.319 five, you're gonna want to stick around. It's handle on the news. 16 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.159 He's gonna have a lot to say about this. Representative Matt Gates has filed 17 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.000 emotion to take the speakership away from Representative Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy responded minutes later 18 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.319 on social media, saying, bring it on. Let's get started with some 19 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.359 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Thousands of 20 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.680 healthcare workers are prepared to strike if negotiations with Kaiser don't improve. The workers 21 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.040 say they're protesting unfair labor practices and unsafe staffing levels. They say they'll hit 22 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.159 the picket lines tomorrow at six am if their demands are not met today. 23 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.599 The union says the three day action would be the largest healthcare worker strike in 24 00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.439 US history, affecting seventy five thousand workers across the country. Late night shows 25 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.920 have returned as striking Hollywood actors continue labor talks with the studios. The Late 26 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.319 Show with Stephen COLBERTI on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon were some of the 27 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.800 first shows to return last night after writers ended a five month strike. Writers 28 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.280 got the green light to get back to work after the WGA approved a three 29 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:23.120 year contract with major studios. Actors started bargaining again with production companies yesterday after 30 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.639 nearly two months of silence. Writers are expected to ratify their deal with the 31 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.919 AMPTP early this month. Sagaftres says it's scheduled to meet with studios to continue 32 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:38.960 negotiating tomorrow. Chris Adler KFI News former Elly Kenny supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas his 33 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.120 filed papers asking to be allowed to remain free while he appeals his conviction on 34 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.680 federal corruption charges. He was sentenced in August to three years and six months 35 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.120 in federal prison starting November thirteen. His lawyers say Ridley Thomas should be allowed 36 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.199 to stay out of prison during appeals because he's not likely to flee and does 37 00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.479 not pose a danger to the community. Republican Congressman Matt Gates's filed emotion to 38 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.879 remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker. ABC's Rachel Scott says the resolution would set a 39 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.680 snap vote this week, though only a handful of hard right Republicans have signaled 40 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.479 that they're willing to vote to remove McCarthy. All of this comes after how 41 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.919 Speaker Kevin McCarthy made a deal with Democrats working with them and moderate Republicans to 42 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.199 keep the government open and funded. McCarthy responded on social media to Gates's effort 43 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.879 yesterday, saying, bring it on. A nine year old girl who disappeared 44 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.560 in Upstate New York has been found safe. The little girl was found in 45 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:38.919 a cabinet cupboard. She's rescued, and she knew she was being rescued. 46 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.719 She knew that she was in safe hands. Governor Kathy Hockle says Charlotte Sana 47 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.719 disappeared during a bike ride Saturday while on a family camping trip. Police say 48 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.319 they were able to find her suspected kidnapper yesterday after pulling fingerprints from a ransom 49 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.919 note he left at the family's home. The man, who was living in 50 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.400 a camper behind his mother's home, was take and into custody. Three people 51 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.199 in Thailand have been killed in a shooting at a mall in Bangkok. The 52 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.840 sounds of gunshots today sent shoppers scrambling for safety. Several were hurt. Police 53 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.519 say the suspected shooter has been taken into custody. The US Postal Service has 54 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.480 released a postage stamp that honors the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 55 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:27.920 The stamp celebrates what Postal Service or what the Postal Service calls Ginsburg's groundbreaking contributions 56 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.079 to justice, gender equality, and the rule of law. It's five oh 57 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.399 six. Let's say good morning now to ABC's White House correspondents Karen Travers. 58 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.519 Karen, President Biden says, we made a deal, but Speaker McCarthy said, 59 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.279 no, we didn't. So is it a Biden gaff or something in 60 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.600 the work. So we just don't know about you know, it could be 61 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.600 more the latter on that one, but the White House wasn't saying. So 62 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.319 this goes back to Sunday when the President was giving remarks about the short term 63 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.360 deal to avert a government sh down, the legislation that Congress passed on Saturday 64 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.480 that he signed into law, and he was asked the question, or are 65 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.319 you going to be able to trust Speaker McCarthy when the next deal comes around? 66 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.040 And the President said, we just made one about Ukraine, so we'll 67 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.639 find out. Well, no surprise. That's going to spark a lot of 68 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.600 questions about what's this deal about Ukraine? Well, what are you talking about 69 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.319 here? And what will this look like going forward? Because remember that Ukraine 70 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.120 funding that the White House wanted, twenty four billion dollars, was left out 71 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.680 of the short term extension. It did not get included in because there was 72 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.560 a lot of resistance, not a lot vocal, loud resistance among some conservative 73 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.720 Republicans. So McCarthy did not put this in, and now the White House 74 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.439 is still pushing for it. But yesterday the White House wouldn't say what the 75 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.519 President meant, would not even explain what that comment was about. McCarthy has 76 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.439 denied that there's any sort of deal right now, but the White House says 77 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.560 that they're expecting that McCarthy will put forward this funding for a vote, that 78 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.199 there's bipartisan support for it in the House and Senate. But the reason this 79 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.480 has become such a political hot potato is because Matt Gates, as you guys 80 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.800 know, has put forward this motion to push Kevin McCarthy out of his job, 81 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.720 is how speaker. One of the things he's now citing is this secret 82 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.600 deal he says McCarthy has made about Ukraine funding with the President. It's not 83 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.279 the only thing. There's been a whole list of things. He's been kind 84 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.560 of moving towards this for some time but now this has become another part of 85 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.199 it, saying, you know, look, McCarthy keeps making agreements with Democrats, 86 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.399 he keeps working with Democrats and siding with them over Republicans, and now 87 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.639 he's even working with the President on Ukraine funding. Okay, but so backroom 88 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.199 deals are nothing new totally. This happens all the time. I mean, 89 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.240 it wouldn't be surprising if the President and McCarthy did not talk over the weekend 90 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.920 and there was a conversation where they said, look, this did not get 91 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.199 included because we have to just get something done or to get something that can 92 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.959 pass. But we are now going to move forward and just put it up 93 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.879 for a vote. And that's what the White House has been calling for because 94 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.319 they say, you know, we understand there's a ton of politics involved in 95 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.600 the government spending fight over the last couple of weeks, but they insist. 96 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:11.680 From Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, to other senior officials, they'll 97 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.079 say, if you just voted straight up on Ukraine funding, it would pass 98 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.959 in the Senate and it would pass in the House if there was nothing else 99 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.879 attached to it. That there is bipartisan support in both chambers for this, 100 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:28.439 but there's just this very loud resistance from some Republicans and that's why Kevin McCarthy 101 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.600 hasn't moved forward on it. And you know there's political dynamics at play, 102 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.399 of course, but the White House trying to put a little bit of pressure 103 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.639 on McCarthy saying, you know, this can get done. Let's get it 104 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.040 done. Yeah, And McCarthy had said when he was talking about on Saturday, 105 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.279 because I remember hearing him say, we got to keep the government open. 106 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.639 I'm putting through this continuing Resolution without a bunch of stuff in it. 107 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.680 It'll deal with Ukraine. We're not leaving Ukraine out, We're just not putting 108 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.480 it in this and that's what the White House is kind of clinging to at 109 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.800 this point, Karine said. Yesterday, Speaker McCarthy was on the air TV 110 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.000 radio multiple times saying that he wants to continue to support Ukraine to get the 111 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.680 weapons that they need. So she said, we're going to hold him to 112 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.399 that. That's something he said, it's a commitment he has made. So 113 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.839 they're really putting the lean on him. But of course he's getting it from 114 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.480 all sides right now. And we saw last night that motion to vacate, 115 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.240 the wonky term that basically means they're now the clock is ticking, the official 116 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.559 clock is started for the process to try and remove him as Speaker. And 117 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.200 the numbers are really challenging for him because it's such a small Republican majority. 118 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:43.360 He can only afford to lose four Republicans so far, five have already signaled 119 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.159 publicly they would vote him out, so he would need Democrats to support him 120 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.759 to save his leadership job. And my Democrats vote from saying, hey, 121 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.960 you just did us a solid by doing the continuing resolution, so we're not 122 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.480 going to fight this one. I mean you talked about like side deals and 123 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.399 agreements and back deals. You gotta think there's gonna be a lot of conversations 124 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.000 over the next thirty six hours of what's in it for us, Like why 125 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.600 would they do that unless there is some concession to them and what they can 126 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.480 get out of it. There is no indication publicly yet about what Democrats are 127 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.200 going to do. A lot of questions to the White House yesterday about what 128 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.720 the President thinks about this, what does he think Democrats on the Hills should 129 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.399 be doing, how they should be voting. Kareem would not say. The 130 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.039 president's position basically said, this is up to House Republicans to sort out. 131 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.399 But it's not just up to House Republicans. It's also up for the Democrats 132 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.879 at this point too. Okay, And before I let you go, when 133 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.879 when is this they're going to do a snap vote on this whole recall the 134 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.240 speaker ship thing. Yeah, the next day or two. Yeah, So, 135 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.519 because it's a forty eight hour process from the time that motion to vacate 136 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.840 it started last night, I guess probably evening our time, you know, 137 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.320 early evening year time. So we're looking at Wednesday night. All right. 138 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.039 As always, thank you so much for your information and insight, Karen, 139 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.080 have a great day. Thanks. Let's get back to some of the stories 140 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.480 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Hearing is scheduled for a Superior Court judge in downtown La Claudia 143 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.440 formitte As, the mayor of Downey, says the new policy is reckless and 144 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.320 dangerous and she doesn't really trust the LA court system. With the current policies 145 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.000 at hand, we do not believe that there's going to potentially be neutrality, 146 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.519 and so we want to make sure that this is transferred over to Orange County. 147 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.480 The suit was filed late last Friday, and the new zero bail policy 148 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.399 started Sunday morning.

He made international headlines 172 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.559 when he darted across the border into North Korea from South Korea along the DMZ 173 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.120 back in July. No one has said why exactly King did it, although 174 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:45.279 he was facing potential punishment after spending some time in a South Korean jail earlier 175 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.039 in the summer. Got to remind you that tomorrow we're all going to get 176 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.639 a good scare. Actually it shouldn't be a scare. It's an emergency alert, 177 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.159 and you know those emergency alerts that go out. But tomorrow's at eleven 178 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:05.200 twenty hours time is going to be a nationwide test, which means that all 179 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:11.840 TVs and radios and cell phones around the US should be getting this emergency alert. 180 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.559 So again it's not only for broadcast TV, but it's also for cable 181 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.519 systems, satellite radio, TV providers, wireless video providers. So they want 182 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.840 to get this out. It's a test that they've been doing since twenty eleven, 183 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.080 I believe is when they first did the first nationwide tests. So it's 184 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.679 happening at eleven twenty. Don't be freaked out. Just know what's happening and 185 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.799 most of us are going to hear it. Here's what we're following in the 186 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.759 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A three day strike involving about forty percent of 187 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.080 Kaiser Permanente employees in California and six other states could start tomorrow morning. Kayser 188 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.159 says it is still negotiating with leaders of several unions in hopes of reaching a 189 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.919 tentative deal. Ford Motor Company is laying off three hundred and thirty more employees 190 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.000 due to the UAW strike against them. General Motors and Stilantis Fort said layoffs 191 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.440 are the result of the strike that recently expanded to its Chicago assembly plant. 192 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.519 The Golden Globe Awards says it's membership is now diversified. The membership now includes 193 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.519 three hundred journalists from around the world. That is what the Golden Globes people 194 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.919 say is sixty percent racially diversive and forty seven percent female. The eighty first 195 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:28.080 Golden Globe Awards will be handed out January seventh at six oh five. It's 196 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.440 handled on the news. Sag Aftra and the Hollywood Studios met for a whole 197 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.480 day. That's pretty much all they're saying about the negotiations yesterday. Right now, 198 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.360 let's say good morning to the host of How to Money right here on 199 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.840 KFI. It's Joel lars Guard. Good morning, Joel, morning Amy. 200 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:48.919 So first let's talk about there's some money things that are coming up, like 201 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.039 a tax deadline. Oh yeah, that's right. So normally, you know, 202 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.200 we're talking about filing taxes in April, but everyone remembers the winter storms, 203 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.720 right that happened. So because of that, the tax stadline was pushed 204 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.799 back to October sixteenth for basically everyone in the state of California. And so 205 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.240 it's it's important to get your taxes done on time, and so this was 206 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.799 an extension. Nobody had to actually go in there and request the extension. 207 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.879 It was just granted to everyone. And so if you haven't filed your taxes 208 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.840 yet, the time the clocks ticking, so it's time to time to get 209 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.200 on that. Yeah, on Monday the sixteenth, and you know, I 210 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.720 did my taxes on time because even though I knew I had that extra six 211 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.600 months and I knew I had to pay, so I could have not paid 212 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.960 until now. I was like, it's going to get out of my mind. 213 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.399 I'm going to completely forget about it, and then I'll get a reminder 214 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.279 on the radio a week before and go into full on panic mode. So 215 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.039 yes, yeah, so yeah. And for a whole lot of people too. 216 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.559 So many people get a refund, and so there's no point in waiting 217 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.519 in delaying just because you can, unless you really, you know, had 218 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.799 were severely impacted and could not get around to it. That that's understandable. 219 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.159 But for a whole lot of people, it just made sense to file, 220 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.720 go ahead, get the refund, and start doing good things with that money. 221 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.840 Yep. Okay. So, speaking of taxes and bills, savers are 222 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.440 going to get a new tax bill. Oh yeah, so okay, this 223 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.559 is there's good news and bad news, and the bad news isn't really all 224 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.759 that bad, right, So the good news is that interest rates on savings 225 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:25.080 accounts, on CDs, on all sorts of savings type products have gone up 226 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.399 and up and up, and at the same time, inflation has gone down, 227 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.200 down and down, and so it's been really good. Now savers are 228 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.000 out of place where they're actually making real returns on any money that they've gotten 229 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.919 savings. If and I stress this, if if they're with the right bank, 230 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.840 if they're with the right institution, there's still a whole lot of people, 231 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.080 much to my chagrin, banking with the giant banks like Wells Fargo and 232 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.840 Bank of America, who are getting paid essentially nothing on their money. And 233 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.320 so with inflation running wild, it obviously calmed down a little bit. Right, 234 00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.519 it's now in the three point seven range. But if you're paid point 235 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:06.519 zero one percent on your money, you're losing regularly because of what inflation is 236 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.119 doing to those dollars that are in savings. But if you make one little 237 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.440 move and go to one of my favorite high yield savings accounts with an online 238 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.400 bank, you're gonna be able to outpace inflation actually making real returns on your 239 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.720 money. So that's really important to mention. But then the flip side is 240 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.599 you are, if you've got a significant chunk of change in savings and you're 241 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.960 earning that high yield, which is great, you're gonna owe tax on that 242 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.640 and so be on the lookout for a ten ninety nine i MT. That's 243 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.680 what it's called early next year. And if you've got significant amounts of savings 244 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.799 you're gonna have, you're gonna hundreds, maybe even depending on how much you 245 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.519 have maybe even an extra grand or two in taxes to the federal government. 246 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.000 But then again, like I said, it's good news because you're actually making 247 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.400 money. This is more like a success tax than some sort of penalty that 248 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.039 you should be upset about. Okay, And just again, you know, 249 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.119 you know, I've told you I'm no good with money. So I have 250 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.519 a savings account at one of the big banks. Theoretically, not that I 251 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.400 would do that Joel oh Bro, of course not okay, But and I'm 252 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.519 really not making any money on it. I'm not gonna have to pay taxes 253 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.559 on it. It's only if you like make a bunch of money on the 254 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.200 savings that you already have, right right, I mean, so if you 255 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.000 have one of these accounts, even if you got one hundred grand in it 256 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.599 and you're you're getting the point zero one percent return, Yeah, you didn't 257 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.599 make much money from that account. And so because of that, your ten 258 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.519 ninety nine aint is going to be pathetically small. You're not going to owe 259 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.200 almost any tax. You're you're not going to notice any difference. But if 260 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.240 you're the kind of person going one hundred grand and you had it in one 261 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.839 of my favorites, that's making five percent, Yeah, you're gonna get that 262 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.839 ten ninety nine aint and you're gonna go oh a few hundred bucks in tax 263 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.000 that maybe you weren't planning on, you weren't expecting. But again, like 264 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.359 I said, that's a good thing though. Yeah, you made the money, 265 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.200 and so it's worth it's worth paying the tax. It's not really that 266 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:55.200 bad in the scheme of things. It's just something that people need to plan 267 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.559 for as rates on those savings accounts have increased as it's gone. Okay, 268 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.960 and how do I find a good online bank? Oh, that's a good 269 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.440 question. So I've got a few of my favorites that I like to mention 270 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.279 most of the time. I like Ally, I like Discover, and I 271 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.960 like c I T and I really like I stress online banks for a reason. 272 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.079 It's because the brick and mortars, for the most part, aren't paying 273 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.599 as well. You might find a deal, one off deal at a local 274 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.720 credit union. I love credit union. So if your credit union is offering 275 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.799 something that's competitive in the marketplace when it comes to savings, usually they're better 276 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.640 at loan type products, then definitely it's worth considering that. But if you 277 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.720 go with one of those online savings accounts like ally c I T or Discover, 278 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.319 and you can actually find a list of the highest paying best savings accounts 279 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:47.640 out there on a site called doctor of Credit dot com Doctor of Credit dot 280 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.319 com, And so that's a really good place to turn if you're looking to 281 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.079 find kind of Okay, who's got the absolute best rate? I've got a 282 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.039 lot of money to stock away. And some of these banks will even offer 283 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:02.000 like a special onus if you open an account with them, So not only 284 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.400 are they paying a much high rate, but you might get a couple of 285 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.279 hundred bucks for moving over your savings too, So it's definitely worth looking into. 286 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.319 Okay, I've got my work cut out for a doctor credit dot com. 287 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.400 Joel lars Guard, thank you so much. I mean I hadn't even 288 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.559 thought about that. So this is good to at least get us thinking about 289 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.519 how we're going to make money off of our money that's just sitting there right 290 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.000 Oh man? Yeah, well, and you know the savings Wait, wait, 291 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.200 people are getting hammered for years and years and years, and finally savers 292 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.599 are not getting you know, bent over a barrel. So I'm glad to 293 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.480 see that savers aren't getting smacked around these days. I love that. Okay, 294 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.839 how to Money you can find out more great stuff about money and how 295 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:44.240 you can keep more of your money with How the Money with Joel lars Guard 296 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.000 noon to two.

Okay, let's get back to 301 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.400 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 302 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.799 body has been found in a burned RV in Sun Valley. The fire was 303 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.640 reported around nine last night. A woman who was inside the RV ran away 304 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.160 and was treated by paramedics for burns and smoke annhialation. Pasadena police say they 305 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.599 expect an increase in retail theft because of La County's near new zero bail policy. 306 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:23.440 The police department is preparing for the possible increase by carrying out a retail 307 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:29.720 sting operation more often. Pasadena Police Lieutenant Monica Quaar says the operation works by 308 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:34.000 having detectives poses shoppers at different stores. We know what stores are getting hit 309 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.319 the most, you know, so it last time it was Macy's. Macy's 310 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.599 was getting hit every week, every day. The stings will now happen every 311 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.720 two weeks, up from once every three months in the past. In Pasadena, 312 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.759 Blake Trolley k if I News, le Bron James says his son Brownie 313 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.480 is doing extremely well following a cardiac arrest episode in July. We stuck behind 314 00:21:53.519 --> 00:22:00.440 each other and gave Brownie strength throughout the whole process, and are we happy 315 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.480 to see where he is today and we look forward to seeing you know what 316 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.039 his future still has a store for him, he says. Brownie, who 317 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.319 turns nineteen on Friday, has started his rehab process and is hoping to play 318 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.880 with his USC basketball team this season. Lebron says he's dedicating his own season 319 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:21.599 with the Lakers to his son right now. We hear a lot of bad 320 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.400 things about kids these days, so I wanted to share a story about a 321 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.640 young woman who is making a difference. She's helping students, and I would 322 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:32.599 venture to say she's making the world a better place. It's Hannah Karnick. 323 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.960 She's a recent graduate of Sage Oak Charter High School. Hannah's family has been 324 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.480 taking in foster kids over the years, and that's given her some perspective and 325 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.440 insight and maybe even compassion for others, which led her to starting up a 326 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:51.039 charity called Hannah's Helpful Hands. So I'd like to say, welcome to Hannah. 327 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.319 Please tell us about your charity. Basically, what it does is it 328 00:22:53.400 --> 00:23:00.119 works with students to provide them basic necessities like shirts and backpack x and socks 329 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:06.480 and from toilet tree bags and hygiene bags. So it's a free closet inside 330 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.880 of elementary schools and so students can discreetly get these items so that you know 331 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.079 they can have them. And it started by me having fifteen foster siblings. 332 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:26.079 And wait wait fifteen foster siblings. Yeah, that's so like all at the 333 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.240 same time or over a period of years. How did that all come together? 334 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.119 That was over a period of time. Okay, so over over my 335 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.480 whole seventeen years of life. Yeah, I've had fifteen foster siblings. Wow. 336 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.039 So I would imagine that there would be some challenges along the way with 337 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.799 that. And so you saw that there was a need for kids and said 338 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:52.279 I'm going to do something about it. Yeah, yeah, basically I love 339 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.319 that and the program. You've been doing it since seventh or eighth grade. 340 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.599 You recently graduated, so what first six years? Yeah? Yeah, for 341 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:06.200 sixty years, and it's been going on super strong so far. I've expanded 342 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.960 to twelve different schools. So it started in my former elementary school and now 343 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.359 it's at twelve different schools. That's so great. And are all the schools 344 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.599 in Anaheim or where are they? Most of them are. They're in like 345 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.880 Orange County, so they're kind of scattered, but most of them are in 346 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.640 Anaheim. Yeah, okay. And all of that wonderful work that you have 347 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:33.839 done got someone's attention, and you recently were awarded the eighteen under eighteen Award 348 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.640 by the National Society of High School Scholars So tell us about that and how 349 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:42.319 excited were we to win that. I was so excited to win that. 350 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:48.799 You know, like college is very expensive, and so winning news types of 351 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:53.079 scholarships has been like and winning this scholarship has been such a such a blessing 352 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:59.319 for me. And because of that scholarship, like I don't have to work 353 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:04.440 as much in school, so that school is cheaper and now I can focus 354 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:11.319 more on my studies and gaining more skills to learn how to better help these 355 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.079 kids and to work more with the schools and with the students. Okay, 356 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:21.160 so you are working and you're going to school. Where are you going to 357 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:25.960 school now? I go to Biola University. Good for you. That's amazing. 358 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.279 So you're doing it, and then you're also working with your Helpful Hands 359 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.759 charity and making sure that that continues. Yeah, yeah, so it's still 360 00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:41.119 I went to school. Biola is near Anaheims, so it's not that far 361 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.559 away, so I can still keep my charity going. But the cool thing 362 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.799 is is that I have had more people help me recently, so I've been 363 00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:55.079 able to take a few steps back and that's been super awesome the way that 364 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.000 people have also been helping. That's great because at some point you need to 365 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.039 move on, focus on you and take care of you so you can go 366 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.960 change the world even more.

Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 379 00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.880 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A large criminal street gang in LA's Harbor Gateway 380 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.880 area has been busted up LAPD Chief Morris as a multi agency operation that started 381 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.440 in June ended last week with twenty seven arrests and the seizure of weapons, 382 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.359 drugs, and ghost gun. We look at the numbers year to day shooting 383 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.880 violence in this area here in the Harbor area is down twelve percent and violent 384 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:19.000 crime is down seventeen percent. Homeland Security Investigations Eddie wongs as Operation Save Harbor 385 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:23.640 was a success. Aside from the bullets. These gang members continue to wreak 386 00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:30.839 havoc by flooding their communities with dangerous and illicit narcotics, including feed Steve Gregory 387 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:37.599 King if I News President Biden's son Hunter is due in federal court in Delaware 388 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.480 to face charges of violating federal gun laws. Sunter Biden had hoped to avoid 389 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.279 all this, first with a plea deal that fell apart of the summer, 390 00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.119 and then with a request or take part in today's arraignment by video conference from 391 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.200 this home in southern California. The magistrate judge who will take his plea insisted 392 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.440 the President's sun show up in person. ABC Steven Portnoy says the three felony 393 00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.759 charges are related to Biden's purchase of a handgun in twenty eighteen when he was 394 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.759 an admitted drug user. Biden's expected to plead not guilty, as lawyer says 395 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.319 the charges may violate the Constitution and reflect political pressure on the Justice Department from 396 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.640 the right. Two of the counts carry a maximum sentence of up to ten 397 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:18.519 years in prison. You know, I'm a Disneyland fan, so I'm very 398 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.519 excited about this. But this is a cool thing for anybody who likes Disney, 399 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.759 and we're getting more information about Disney's expansion plans. It's called their Disneyland 400 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:33.119 Forward Project. There's a seventeen thousand page environmental impact report and it shows gives 401 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.079 a little sneak peek into what they're planning. And it's a theme park with 402 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.759 sixteen rides and an outdoor show. So it sounds like, if I'm reading 403 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:48.079 this right, that it's a whole separate theme park on the downtown Disney and 404 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.359 Lelo and Stitch parking lots, and it'll be kind of woven between the Disneyland 405 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:57.960 Hotel and Paradise Pier Hotel. But it's expected to have outdoor thrill rides like 406 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.559 Big Thunder Mountain and in credit coaster, indoors rail rides like Star Wars, 407 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.440 Rise of the Resistance and Space Mountain, plus the Circle rides they call them, 408 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.880 which would be like Dumbo. And then they talk about having an outdoor 409 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.279 show which would be similar to World of Color and Fantasmic, So this would 410 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:23.519 be it sounds like a smaller park. Disneyland has forty rides and attraction California 411 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.240 Adventure has twenty five about rides
