00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.879
You're listening to KFI AM six forty
wake Up Call with me Amy King on

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.839
demand on the iHeartRadio apps. It's
gonna be left on a day, Los

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:22.079
Angeles, Srange County. It's time
for your morning wake up call. Here's

4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.079
Amy King. It's actually good that
we played that because that thing. This

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.440
is KFI and KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County. We have a certain

6
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.600
window of time that we have to
play that, and I think it played

7
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.479
way too early today. It was
outside our window of opportunity. So here's

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.679
what's ahead on wake up Call.
It is five oh five. You're not

9
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.600
getting started late. I actually got
started early, so we're restarting. It's

10
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.799
gonna be a day. The family
of the man accused of killing in La

11
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:53.359
County sheriff's deputy and Palmdale says he
has paranoid schizophrenia. There are several reports

12
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.159
the twenty nine year old has confessed
to the killing. The crash site for

13
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.159
the Stealth Fighter jet that went missing
after the pilot ejected has been found about

14
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.480
two hours north of Joint based Charleston, South Carolina. The pilot who ejected

15
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.439
is okay, but military officials are
wondering how the heck they lost a one

16
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:18.120
hundred twenty two million dollars fighter jet. A series of modern earthquakes have rattled

17
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.719
the Central Valley. The first was
a four point zero hit at five fifteen

18
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.640
in Stanislaus County last night. The
US Geological Survey says that was followed by

19
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:32.359
three point six and four point four
quakes. Lost recordings of the Beatles are

20
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.319
going to be auctioned off, but
those are going to go for big,

21
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.840
big bucks. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. We're

22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.599
gonna tell you why you might not
be able to get your favorite Clorox products,

23
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.920
and can we get Karen up?
Yes we do. Okay, we're

24
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.560
gonna say good morning to ABC's Karen
Travers. Karen, you're gonna have to

25
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.040
bear with us this morning. We've
got gremlins all over the place. Sorry

26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.959
about that, and not your fault. So now we just need you to

27
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.080
entertain and enlighten us and tell us
about. President Biden is making his big

28
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.080
address to the UN General Assembly today. What's he expected to talk about?

29
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.280
Yeah, it's coming up in about
two hours. These things always tend to

30
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.199
slide a little late, so I
kind of don't hold your breath for that

31
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.800
start time because of you, you're
at the liberty of a speaker before you.

32
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.599
But the President, according to White
House officials, will be issuing a

33
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:34.919
descents of American leadership abroad, and
he'll reiterate US support for Ukraine. It's

34
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.560
gonna be a false road, a
defense of American support for Ukraine, according

35
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.000
to a White House official, and
why that is so important not just for

36
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.759
the US national security interests, but
the idea of sovereignty and the sovereign nation

37
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.159
being invaded. And the timing,
of course is important because it comes as

38
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:57.240
there is this fierce debate right now
underway on Capitol Hill about funding for Ukraine.

39
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.560
Twenty four billion dollars is what the
administration has asked for and what Congress

40
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.000
is considering. You've got Republicans on
the Senate side who are firmly in favor

41
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.199
of that by partisan support there but
a loud group of House Republicans who say,

42
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.560
no, this has to stop.
We can't have a blank check and

43
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.520
this is all going to be tied
to the government funding site, which the

44
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.639
deadline is coming up of September thirtieth, So a big amount of pressure right

45
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.759
now on lawmakers and the President will
be making a case today to a global

46
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.879
audience, but also a message to
Capitol Hill. Okay, so all of

47
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.960
the funding that we have sent to
Ukraine, has that been getting Congressional approval

48
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.879
as it goes or so the President
can't just say, hey, we're going

49
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.680
to send it. They have to
run it by Congress each time. Yeah,

50
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.479
new funding has to be approved by
Congress. You know, they can

51
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.919
do a thing where they can happen
to existing stockpiles of like extra stuff,

52
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.120
but things have to be authorized by
Congress. You know. Congress controls the

53
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.000
purse strings, as they like to
say, so if the President wants to

54
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.000
send money, Congress has to sign
off on it. So everything so far

55
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.000
has had Congressional approval and has to
continue with that going forward. This new

56
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.680
request of twenty four billion dollars,
the White House would like to see it

57
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.360
done as soon as possible. And
that's where this is all getting tricky because

58
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.439
Congress also has to fund the government
by September thirtieth. They have not yet

59
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.079
done that. By that, you
know, they have to do this every

60
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.920
September at the end of the fiscal
year. Since there will be a short

61
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.800
term agreement of some sort to punt, to kick the can down the road

62
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.279
a little bit. Whether or not
the Ukraine funding is part of that,

63
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:38.639
that's what the big conversation is right
now. And so McCarthy has like an

64
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.040
idea, but the chances of getting
the full on funding, what are the

65
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.120
chances of that happening. You just
mentioned the short term thing which they keep

66
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.720
doing, which is so frustrating that
they do it every September. I mean,

67
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.759
I can't think of a time when
they actually, like you did,

68
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.639
just the way it's supposed to be
done by September thirtieth. There's always just

69
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.560
a short term deal hunted to November
or December, and then you know,

70
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.360
the train speeds up so quickly in
December because nobody wants to be here in

71
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.959
December once the holidays are coming around, and everybody then quickly hurries up.

72
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.120
Or as we've seen in a couple
of years, there actually was a government

73
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.519
shutdown. So you know, I
think we have seen some agreements reached amongst

74
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.360
the House Republican caucus that did not
have the funding for Ukraine in there.

75
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.079
That's dead on arrival in the Senate
because the Senate's controlled by Democrats, and

76
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.879
there were Republicans from the Senate side
who say we have to have this funding,

77
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.279
we need to keep supporting Ukraine.
So it's all going to come to

78
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.399
a boiling point over the next potentially
ten days, two weeks, okay,

79
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.399
And then Biden takes the stage to
really make his bid that hopefully we'll shore

80
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.240
up support for the funding for Ukraine, all right, and then we'll see

81
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.199
President Zelinsky in Washington on Thursday.
He's visiting the White House to meet with

82
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.920
the President, and then we'll be
going to Capitol Hill to make his own

83
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.800
whibbying case to lawmakers. Okay,
Karon Travers, thank you so much,

84
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.120
and thanks for baron with us,
with our gremlins this morning. That it's

85
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.480
going to be a day peers is
better than our good luck. All right,

86
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.680
thank you, Karen. Let's get
back to some of the stories coming

87
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.759
out of the KFI twenty four hour
news room. A twenty nine year old

88
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.680
man has confessed to fatally shooting in
La County. Sheriff's deputy in Palmdale,

89
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.480
Sheriff Luna says after a swat team
arrived, Kevin Salazar refused to come out

90
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.079
of his home in Palmdale. Finally, early yesterday morning, Salazar surrender.

91
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.319
All of our resources were entirely committed
for this investigation. Thirty six hours later,

92
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.360
in collaboration with our community, we
have the person that we believe is

93
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.480
responsible for the tragic murder of Ryan. On Saturday evening, Ryan Clinton Brewmer

94
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.839
was shot as he sat in his
patrol suv at a red light. Luna

95
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:49.279
says tips from the public led them
to Salazar. Steve Gregory Knafi news Yeah,

96
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:54.360
that's rocker. Marilyn Manson. He
has pleaded no contest in New Hampshire

97
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.000
to blowing his nose on a videographer. He was sentenced yesterday to twenty hours

98
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.319
of community service. He was also
fined a little more than fourteen hundred dollars

99
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.800
for the offense. In twenty nineteen, the judge agreed to let Manson serve

100
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.839
his community service in California so he
can blow his nose on more of us.

101
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.560
Teamsters and lawmakers in Arcadia have urged
governing Newsom to sign a bill that

102
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.720
would preserve trucking jobs amid the rise
of automated trucks Driver Missus dangerous. The

103
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:26.600
bill requires automated semi trucks to have
human operators Teamsters Local sixty three Vice president

104
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.879
Robert Terrell says he has safety concerns
with automated trucks. Is some machine and

105
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.839
you have computer glitchen and something can
go wrong. Reps from SAGAFTRA, and

106
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:41.720
WGA joined truckers to support the bill
out of Teamster's rally in Arcadia yesterday.

107
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.279
The bipartisan back bill passed overwhelmingly in
the Assembly and state Senate in Arcadia.

108
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.360
Blake Trolley k i I news California
is stewing big oil, but not everyone

109
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.079
is on board. Republican state Senator
Shannon Grove of Bakersfield says the lawsuit is

110
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.240
misguided, just ridiculous. The state
is taking legal action against five oil companies

111
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.959
BP, Chevron, Conico, Phillips, Exxon, Mobil, and Shell,

112
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.199
as well as the trade organization that
represents them for their role in perpetuating climate

113
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.439
change. The suit claims oil and
gas executives are known for decades about the

114
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.079
dangers of the fossil fuels they produce, but haven't done anything to fix it.

115
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.120
Grove says big oil isn't going anywhere
anytime soon. People use things that

116
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.000
are convenient and cheap and reliable,
and oil products are cheap, reliable,

117
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:37.279
inconvenient. California is seeking a clean
up fund from the oil companies that will

118
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.639
pay for recovery efforts for future damage
of human caused climate change. Researchers in

119
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.879
South Africa say the abundant great white
shark population has moved from its longtime home

120
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.879
off the country's western Cape province to
the eastern coastline. They say they believe

121
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.279
it has to do with climate change
and the availability of food. Two time

Super Bowl change and Patrick Mahomes is
getting a record paid a ESPN says Mahomes

123
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.879
has agreed to a restructured deal with
the Kansas City Chiefs that will pay him

124
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.639
more than two hundred ten million dollars
between now and twenty twenty six. The

dollar extension with the Chiefs in twenty
twenty. Well, that makes my head

127
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.519
hurt. It's a lot a lot
of money. Hey, they have Halloween

128
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.879
time at Disneyland. If you had
you know you were thinking about what you

129
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.960
were going to do for the Halloween. But I have sad news for you,

130
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.000
and that is that Space Mountain is
going to be closed, so they

131
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:45.879
do this ghost Galaxy overlay usually for
the Halloween season, but this year Space

132
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.480
Mountain has been closed. It's going
to be closed for five weeks though,

133
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:56.960
through October twenty five for refurbishment.
That's not very happy, do we have

134
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.000
nick? Okay, hey, it
National voter Registration Day. You just need

135
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.120

or you've turned eighteen, or you
had a name change. And if you

138
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.720
had a name change, maybe that
means you got married, so congratulations.

139
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.799
Of course, maybe it means you
got divorced, so I'll take that back.

140
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.320
Okay. Anyway, it's super easy
to register to vote. La vote

142
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.360
let's say good morning to the host
of How to Money. You're on

143
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.960
KFI, Joel lars Guard. Good
morning, Joel. Oh there, you

144
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.879
know what, there was a little
pause before you said good morning, and

145
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:45.440
I like panicked because you don't know
this. But we're having all kinds of

146
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.279
fun technical issues throughout this morning on
this show. So I'm glad you're here.

147
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.840
Okay, So let's talk about index
funds real quick. Not all are

148
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.559
created equal, but before you talk
about not creating them equal, tell us

149
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.559
about like give us the broad overview
for the the financially challenged, Like me,

150
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.360
what's an index fund? Yeah?
So, an index fund is basically

151
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.679
something you can invest inside of.
It's something that I really, I really

152
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.279
love as an investing strategy, and
it's because it allows you to buy not

153
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.320
just a single stock invest in just
a single company. You're investing in all

154
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.399
the companies, right, And so
there's like the S and P five hundred

155
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.559
is one of the most classic index
funds where you're tracking specifically the S and

156
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:39.039
P five hundred, and the fees
on those funds have gone down dramatically over

157
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.600
the years. And when the fee
goes down, that means more of the

158
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.080
dollars that you're investing, more of
every dollar you're investing is going to actually

159
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.840
buy the index fund instead of going
to line somebody else's pockets. So it's

160
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.559
good to see those funds continue to
fall. Although I will say you have

161
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.720
to pay attention still because depending on
where you asked, that will determine what

162
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.200
the fees are on the index fund
that you're investing in. So if you're

163
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.399
investing in one of my favorites like
Vanguard, you're paying point zero three percent,

164
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.279
which is almost nothing. But if
you're investing with one of the more

165
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.000
expensive companies, you might see something
ten x or twenty x that sort of

166
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.639
cost. So how do you find
that out? Is that information readily available?

167
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.559
Like I said, I'm I'm so
financially challenged, which is why I

168
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.600
love talking to you, Like,
I just kind of don't really manage my

169
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.080
money that well. I mean,
I'm good at saving it, but as

170
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.519
far as like these investments, I'm
not great at this. So how do

171
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.279
you find out? Yeah, so
that's a great question. You should be

172
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:45.559
able to You should be able to
easily find out how how much that expect

173
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.080
what that x called an expense ratio, right, And so when you go

174
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.480
back into the back end of your
of your investment account, you should be

175
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.320
able to look up the specific index
fund that you're interested in, and you

176
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.759
should be able to see what the
expense rat show is. You can also

177
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.399
go to a site like Morningstar dot
com and morning Star does a great job

178
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.519
of rating funds, and so you
can go to Morningstar dot com and you

179
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.679
can type in a fund, you're
like, hmm, I'm not seeing it

180
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.519
on the back end for some reason, or I'm having a hard time.

181
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.559
It's kind of buried. Well,
you can go to morning Star and you

182
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:20.639
can type in different funds and you
can kind of see what morning Star thinks

183
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.519
about those funds, and you can
also kind of see associated with that fund.

184
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:30.759
And the interesting thing is the morning
Star ratings are actually morning Star did

185
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.720
a study a few years ago and
they said, our ratings are really important.

186
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.559
But guess what's even more important.
Low costs. Low cost funds are

187
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.440
more important than a five star morning
Star rating. Okay, I'm going to

188
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.440
check that out. Okay, now, let's talk about cell phone carrier promotions

189
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.399
because a lot of people are offering
us some goodies right now. Yes,

190
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.840
So, the new iPhone, as
we all know at this point, came

191
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.240
out last week, was announced last
week. It's really expensive. It's like

192
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.480
twelve hundred bucks if you want the
super fancy new titanium one. And the

193
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.639
carriers now are all about trying to
get you in a new iPhone. They

194
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.720
know that if they get you a
new iPhone that you are going to be

195
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.080
a sticky customer. You're going to
stick around with them, and so they're

196
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.559
they're creating these enticing promotions. Hey, if you trade in your old phone,

197
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.480
we'll get you into that new iPhone
fifteen that you are like, you

198
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.759
desperately want. But the thing is, and the contracts don't exist in the

199
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:37.240
way that they used to for with
wireless providers. But the thing is you

200
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.159
can still if you really want the
best deal, you're going to sign up

201
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.000
for one of these carrier promotions and
they're going to keep you around because if

202
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.519
you really want the deal, you
got to stick around for twenty four or

203
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.480
thirty six months. And so I
prefer to see people either one not upgrade

204
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.720
or to pay for the full price
of the phone outright, which I know

205
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.240
is very, very very expensive,
but it's going to give you the best

206
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.559
overall low cost for service and phone
combined, going with one of the low

207
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.919
cost carriers like Mint, Visible or
Google five. Those are three of my

208
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.120
favorites. And then just buying your
phone like you'd buy a laptop or something

209
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.679
like that, right instead of kind
of the subsidized weird model where carriers are

210
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.519
trying to, you know, get
you into their spider web instead doing it

211
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.600
your own way is a better way
to go. Okay, So if you're

212
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.200
going to go buy your own phone, because I usually do, just go

213
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.279
like to the AT and T store
and get my phone there. And you

214
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.399
want to have the low cost carrier? Can you buy it at the Apple

215
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.159
store? Can you buy it on
Amazon? Can you kind of where can

216
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.279
you get them? Yes? So
you can buy it directly through Apple.

217
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.000
You can buy it at the at
Amazon as well. You can buy it

218
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.679
use. You can buy a used
model on eBay. I mean, there

219
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.759
are all sorts of places to go. You can go on Facebook, Marketplace,

220
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.559
find somebody who's you know, selling
their iPhone twelve and you're saying,

221
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.519
hey, listen, the iPhone twelve
is still good enough for me. Let

222
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.440
me get that one firm. I
don't know what they're going for, like

223
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.960
three fifty or something like that,
save myself so much money. And then

224
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.480
you sign up for one of the
these really low cost services. I mean,

225
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.279
I'm on a Mintmobile plan that costs
me fifteen dollars a month. And

226
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.679
so when most people are paying,
they see these carrier promotions and they're saying,

227
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.159
oh, man, like I really
want the new phone, and they're

228
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.320
going to give it to me for
free if I trade in this old phone.

229
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.399
But the thing is it's not actually
free because you're paying more for service

230
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.559
every single month, and so it
attracts a certain kind of customer cracker who

231
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.240
wants to save the most money over
time. All right, Joel lars Guard,

232
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.200
you're gonna help me save money whether
I like it or not. Thank

233
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.320
you so much for your time today, Joel. Okay, here's what we're

234
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.600
following in the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. The family of the man accused

235
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:44.799
of killing an Ella County sheriff's deputy
in Palmdale says he has paranoid schizophrenia and

236
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.120
had stopped taking his meds. Apparently, the twenty nine year old has confessed

237
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.000
to the killing of the sheriff's deputy
in Palmdale. Over the weekend, the

238
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.720
average price of a gallon of self
serve regular gas in Ella County and in

239
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:02.120
Orange County has topped six dollars for
the first time since mid October. The

240
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.640
Ella County average is up eleven cents
just today to six oh three. It's

241
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:12.359
six oz two in Orange County.
Elon Musk has hinted at a subscription fee

242
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.200
for all users of his ex social
media platform. He claims this subscription fee

243
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.200
would be the only way to put
a stop to bought accounts on the platform.

244
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.279
At six oh five, it's handled
on the news. The Republicans have

245
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.880
a plan to avoid a government shutdown. Bill will tell you what it is

246
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:33.559
and whether it'll work. So I
gotta tell you this stinks. We were

247
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.039
out and about at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in

248
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:44.680
San Marino to see the infamous corpse
flower. Those are those giant corpse flowers

249
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.440
that when they bloom, they stink
to high heaven. We caught up with

250
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.880
botanical curator Brandon tam who showed us
the gigantic bloom that they have named Stankasaurus

251
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.920
rex. So this is an amazing
plant. This is a Morphrofallus titanum,

252
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.039
which is a very fancy word,
a very botanical fancy word. But it's

253
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.240
commonly known as the corp flower.
And the reason why it's called the corp

254
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.359
flower because it smells like a dead
carcass of an animal that you may find

255
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.160
in the wild. How exciting.
But I have to tell you, so

256
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.319
it actually bloomed a couple of days
ago. So for me. It's kind

257
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.000
of a good thing. Is it
doesn't smell like rotting flesh, right,

258
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:26.160
No, exactly, but it's still
is just fabulous. How how tall is

259
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.200
this? Like eight feet? Yeah? So we actually we measured this on

260
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.960
a daily basis and it measured in
at ninety three point seventy five inches on

261
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.599
the day of the bloom, so
quite quite tall. Truly an amazing specimen.

262
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.839
And if you look at it,
I mean just the design on it,

263
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.720
the pattern, the smell, the
fragrance, the size of it.

264
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.640
I mean, all of these are
atrophies that fascinate human being. The fragrance,

265
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.799
I think it's funny that you call
it a fragrance. Okay, So

266
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.759
how often do these things bloom?
Yeah, so they bloom once every two

267
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.359
to four years in cultivation, but
in the wild once every four to six

268
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.200
years. But thankfully, because we're
in a greenhouse in the conservatory, we're

269
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:06.480
able to give it ideals environments,
give it a fertilizer to bloom more often,

270
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.519
so that our visitors can see this
amazing plant more often because it blooms

271
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.279
so infrequently. Okay, And where
in the wild would you find it?

272
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.799
Yes, you can find them endemic
to only Smatcha in Asia, so you

273
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.160
can only find it in that region
of the world and nowhere else. And

274
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.440
somebody had the idea, let's get
this big, stinky thing and bring it

275
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.599
over to the United exactly exactly.
There's something about human fascination like things that

276
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.400
are stinky, things that are big, and these are just one example.

277
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.039
Okay, So speaking of stinky,
this is the other corpse flower that just

278
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.759
recently bloom. What's left of it? Correct, And you can see along

279
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.240
the base I'm going to kind of
point to it, or you can point

280
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.039
to it. Yeah, that's the
actual flower. Yeah, so right down

281
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:45.759
here, these are the actual flowers
here. So at the very bottom these

282
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.240
are the female flowers, and at
the very top those are male flowers.

283
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:55.319
So this plant has both male and
female flowers flowers on the same structure here,

284
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.240
and that's what makes it so unique. But the female flowers are only

285
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.680
open for the first twenty four hours, and then the male pollen after that

286
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.519
twenty fourth hour will then start to
dehess pollen. And the reason why they

287
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.880
flower at different times so that it
doesn't self pollinate to increase genetic diversity.

288
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:12.920
Okay, so then it starts the
whole process over again, it goes dormant,

289
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.680
and then in a couple of years
it's going to come up again,

290
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:17.839
and I want it. There's one
of the really cool thing. It's called

291
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:22.519
the corpse flower because if it tracks
bugs and stuff that thinks it's a rotting

292
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.720
corpse. And if you look at
this, it's sort of the color of

293
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.119
like something dead, like a dead
animal or something. Yeah, exactly,

294
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.559
it's the color of red. It's
kind of showing that the dead kane carcass

295
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.319
of an animal. And this is
great because the offspring of flies and sweat

296
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.319
bees will try to lay their eggs, so they have a source of food

297
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.920
for that hatching of their offspring.
Okay, so far this year we've had

298
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.440
three blooms. Correct. How many
of these corps flowers do you have in

299
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.680
here? Yeah? So the Huntington
has around forty three in our collection,

300
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.599
so quite a bit. And our
whole goal was, because they bloom so

301
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.559
infrequently, we want it as many
as we could so that we have at

302
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.480
least one bloom a year. Since
the timing of this is very short,

303
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.079
you can only see it for about
twenty four hours and after that starts to

304
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.839
fade away. A very short period
of time. So by having forty three

305
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.839
in a collection, it enables us
to have at least one a year and

306
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.720
even more, just like this year
we had a total of three. Okay,

307
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.480
and we might have a snake preview. We don't know yet because it

308
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.640
gets all confusing for my little brain. But it can either turn into a

309
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.799
bloom or it can turn into that
which looks more like a tree. Right,

310
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.680
So exactly if we take a look
at that, that's actually people think

311
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.880
it's a tree, but it's actually
one single leaf. This entire structure,

312
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.799
this being the petio and the very
top being leaf lit. But botanically speaking,

313
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.880
this is one single leaf and not
a tree. Okay, And then

314
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.400
we have to show you one other
thing. And we're going to come about

315
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:48.319
twenty feet away and show you another
one of the Yeah, a morpha phallus

316
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.000
titanium yep? Is that how you
say? Exactly? Yeah, this is

317
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.559
another one. And you don't know
yet if it's going to be a bloom

318
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.640
or a leaf. Correct, We
don't know if it's going to be a

319
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.920
leaf or it's gonna be a flower. We don't know because it's hard to

320
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.240
tell at the moment. But you
know, that's then amazing thing about these

321
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.720
clients is that you'll never know until
a little closer to the actual cycle of

322
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.480
it emerging out. Okay, so
in a couple of weeks, you'll know

323
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.839
which way it's going to go.
And if it does turn into a bloom,

324
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.759
wouldn't that be an extra treat.
If it does turn into a bloom,

325
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.319
how long would it be before that
one blooms. It would take about

326
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.119
a month and a half, about
a month and a half, and that's

327
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.279
probably around the cycle that we'd expect. Okay, so stay tuned. You

328
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.039
may be hearing from us more that
there's another corpse flower at the Huntington.

329
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.160
Thank you so much, Brendon dam
This has been so educational and not too

330
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.960
stinky, thankfully, thankfully. Okay, I've been hearing about the corpse flower

331
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.160
for years, but I had never
actually gone to see it. So it

332
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.480
was really really interesting and if you
get a chance, I highly recommend that

333
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.279
you do go see it now.
During the interview, I was pointing the

334
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.599
things and having him show me some
things, So we wanted to make sure

335
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.160
that we make that available for you. And you can check out my social

336

338
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.119
today so you can check it out. It's really kind of cool and we'll

339
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.519
let you know if that new growth
does go on to bloom soak you can

340
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.160
see it yourself. Otherwise you're just
gonna have to wait until next year to

341
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.200
see the famous corpse flower. Let's
get back to some of the stories coming

342
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.880
out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. A California Highway Patrol officer has

343
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.079
been involved in a shooting with multiple
suspects in Compton. Police responded to a

344
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.000
call of shots fired at eleven thirty
last night. CHP says people at the

345
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.920
scene smashed into the HP officer's car
after trying to run over an officer who

346
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.759
was outside the vehicle. That's when
the officer fired. The suspects took off.

347
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.400
No arrests have been made. News
brought to you by Sempers Solaris dot

348
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.400
com. Sheriff Luna says a twenty
nine year old man from Palmdale has confessed

349
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.759
to the deadly ambush of a deputy. When the sheriff was asked about a

350
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.240
motive. During a press conference yesterday, he said, I think everybody here

351
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.079
wants to know the answer to that. I have no doubt our homicide investigators

352
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.759
will get to the bottom of why
something that makes absolutely no sense occurred.

353
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:14.160
Kevin Salazar was arrested at his home
early yesterday morning after an hour's long standoff.

354
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.400
Luna says numerous weapons were found inside
the home and the suspected getaway car

355
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:23.759
was parked outside. Gas prices in
Southern California are rising even as demand for

356
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:29.240
fuel is dropping. The Auto Club
of Southern California's Dug Shoop says several factors,

357
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.440
including hurricane season, are contributing to
the higher prices. This is a

358
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:37.119
time of year when things really eat
up, so if a major storm impacts

359
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.759
the East Coast or the Gulf of
Mexico, that of course could cause prices

360
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.680
all across the country to move higher. Drivers in La and Orange Counties are

361
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.400
paying more than six dollars a gallon
on average for regular unleaded fuel. The

362
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.160
Auto Club says people should try to
avoid excess idling and make sure tires are

363
00:24:55.240 --> 00:25:00.039
full to help save gas. A
Jewish misuza in the er break room at

Saint Joseph's in Orange County is meant

you can actually have mindful rest. Saint

Joseph's Ear medical director Jim Lee says
he pitched the idea to a sister on

367
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.400
the hospital board installed by a rabbi. Sister Sweeney's Catholic. I am a

368
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.720
agnostic, and it doesn't matter what
faith you belong to, says The ear

369
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.279
is as slammed as it was during
the height of the pandemic. It kind

370
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.559
of also came from a little bit
of ted lasts. So that tattered belief

373
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.400
News. Right now, let's say
good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim,

374
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.640
my parents bought me a fake rolex
in China, and apparently that was

375
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.079
not a very good thing to do. What was it called rollos If it's

376
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.839
ro olox and it's clearly not a
rolex, and they're probably okay, that's

377
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.359
that's a dupe, Okay, but
that's not an actual counterfeit. Okay,

378
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.160
So, but I did buy a
fake Kate Spade on the streets of downtown

379
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:08.599
New York City. That's not so
good if you if you knowingly bought it

380
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.839
and it looks just like a real
Kate Spade, that's a problem now,

381
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.680
or the police can come and knock
on your door. Probably not, but

382
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:22.079
you should know that you're helping to
contribute to massive losses to the retail industry.

383
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.759
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
has said that fake goods make up

384
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.079
about three point three percent of world
trade, So three point three percent of

385
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.119
the goods that are purchased and sold
out there are not what they purport to

386
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:41.680
be, about five hundred and nine
billion dollars, including that Kate Spade purse

387
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.839
that you bought in New York City. Well, I will stay on my

388
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.359
defense. Did it said Kate Spade? And who am I to tell if

389
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:55.519
it's not Kate Spade even though it's
sitting there on the street. Well,

390
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:59.400
that's that's your big tip off where
it's being sold, how much it's being

391
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.319
sold for. A cake Spade goes
for what four hundred, five hundred bucks.

392
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.519
I think for some of the particular
purses. If you bought yours for

393
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.640
thirty or forty bucks tops, then
you know that it's a fake. You

394
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.039
know where it's being sold on the
street, how much it's being sold for.

395
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:21.519
You can look at the stitching and
look at the label, you know,

396
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:25.519
the little shields on there, to
see if they look as they're supposed

397
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:29.119
to look. And very often you
can spot those fakes. And again I

398
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.000
mean purchasing a fake good like that
or a fake merchandise. There's a bad

399
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.799
thing counterfeit. But counterfeits are different
from dupes. Amy. Dupes are the

400
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:42.000
things that are being promoted so heavily
on places like TikTok. Influencers are purchasing

401
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.599
dupes now the dozen, say Kate
Spade. It might look like a Kate

402
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.720
Spade, but it's going to cost
a whole lot less. And a lot

403
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:55.559
of folks on social media see purchasing
things like that as a way of filming

404
00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:00.839
their nose at Corporate America, you
know, or or or turning their back

405
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.960
or making a statement about high fashion. So there is a difference between dupes

406
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.319
and counterfeits. It's counterfeits that are
costing so much money and so many jobs.

407
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.640
By the way, yeah, okay, so if it's if it looks

408
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.960
too good to be true, it
is most likely Okay. So and I

409
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.440
will say I'm going to say,
in my defense, this was over twenty

410
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.759
years ago, and uh we were
on a little tourist you know, our

411
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.799
tourist trip to New York City like
today, I would never buy a fake

412
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:32.720
paid Kate Spade knowingly. So I'm
wondering, though, how many people are

413
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.759
buying fakes or dupes unknowingly because so
much is online. I mean, how

414
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:42.079
do you know? How do you
have that authenticity? And that's why this

415
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:47.240
is still this is why a story
now because with the with the surgeon,

416
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:55.720
online merchandise or online retailing, this
is seeing a major increase. The incidence

417
00:28:55.759 --> 00:29:00.279
of counterfeiting has grown like tenfolds since
the year two thousand. What's happened since

418
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.160
then? Amazon has happened, you
know, a whole host of other smaller

419
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:11.319
online retailers have happened, and it's
very difficult for them to police every single

420
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.920
seller that they have on their site. So that's where this all is coming

421
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.400
from. So it's impossible to tell
me that exactly is being lost because of

422
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:23.920
this whole thing, But it's online
trade that has really generated this whole cottage

423
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:30.680
industry and in faiths and frauds.
Does Amazon try to make sure that things

424
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:36.079
are authentic? It does, and
they try to vet the sellers of the

425
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.279
products that they're offering on their website, and so do some of the other

426
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.279
big retailers. Like that used to
be up to the retailers, or to

427
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.799
the merchandisers themselves, or to the
producers of these items. So let's say

428
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:52.279
the genuine Kate Spade company, they're
very concerned about their trademark and about their

429
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.279
brand identity, and so they have
whole staffs of people who go out and

430
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.240
find these things either online or at
recture jobs or they're having to be sold

431
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:06.839
and try to rain that in.
But a lot of those companies, those

432
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.960
merchandisers don't have the resources now.
They're barely holding on after the pandemic.

433
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:18.519
So not only did did the pandemic
increase online merchandizing or online retail, it

434
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.720
also took away some of the profits
to the legitimate company, so they can't

435
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.079
really afford to police those things now. Okay, and then one last this

436
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.160
is how you're you're talking about how
the companies are trying to protect their you

437
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.559
know, their revenues and their products
and that kind of stuff. As a

438
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.960
consumer, how do you protect yourself
to make sure that you don't get a

439
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.480
bogus product when you think you're buying
the real things. Well, again,

440
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:44.480
the price. You know that the
Cakespade you purchased there probably on Canal Street,

441
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.240
New York. It was undoubtedly much
less than it would have been otherwise.

442
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.359
Look at the seller, look at
the products origin online. You can

443
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.160
trace that back and see who the
seller was and whether this is a legitimate

444
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.599
person. You know, go into
the seller's background and look out, you

445
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.880
know, fake reviews. Or another
way, if some product has sixty or

446
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.880
seventy reviews, start looking down at
the number fifty or number fifty one,

447
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.480
fifty two. A lot of times
the review there, if it's a big,

448
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.279
glowing review, probably has nothing to
do with the product that it's associated

449
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.119
with. Ah, Okay, so
let the buyer beware. I won't ever

450
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.200
I promise I will never buy a
fake Kate Spade again. Okay, all

451
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.119
right, thank you so much for
your sister in law, by the way,

452
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:32.640
who who purchased a Kate Spade purse
for my wife? Right, yeah,

453
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.920
her sister and my wife loved it, except it wasn't right color.

454
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.839
She takes it back to the store
and says, hey, can I get

455
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.640
a different color in this? They
said, sure, if it were a

456
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.759
real Kate Spade. They haven't spoken
since. Okay. So, not only

457
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.920
can it damage the economy, it
can damage your familial relationships, Rick families.

458
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:53.880
That's right, all right, Thank
you so much for your time,

459
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.720
Jim Ryan, appreciate it, Jamie. Let's get back to some of the

460
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.680
stories coming out of the kf I
twenty four hour newsroom. Free Field has

461
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:04.559
been found in rural South Carolina during
a search for a missing F thirty five

462
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.000
fighter jet. Military officials say the
jet disappeared after a mishap in the air.

463
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:13.279
Its pilot on a training mission was
forced to eject Sunday. He landed

464
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.480
safely, but the Marines couldn't find
where the plane came down. ABC's Andi

465
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:21.759
Field says the jet, assigned to
Joint Base Charleston, was on autopilot when

466
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.920
the pilot ejected over the weekend.
The debris was found yesterday about two hours

467
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.799
away from the base. A convicted
serial killer who admitted murdering five men in

468
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.640
La and Santa Monica has been charged
with killing another man in prison. The

469
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.640
inmate was strangled in February at the
prison in Kern County. He'd been sentenced

470
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.440
in La to life for aggravated sexual
assault of a child. Two people have

471
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.880
been found sleeping in a home they
allegedly broke into in San Bernardino. They've

472
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:51.400
been arrested. The homeowner saw the
intruders on his security cameras over the weekend

473
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.359
and called the Sheriff's department. The
pair found inside were arrested for conspiracy to

474
00:32:54.359 --> 00:33:00.240
commit a crime, vandalism, and
burglary. Where are the Three Bears when

475
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:05.720
you need them? Ahoimetis? It
is international talk like a Pirate Day.

476
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:07.480
It was created by two friends as
a joke in nineteen ninety five. The

477
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.119
days become a beloved holiday that lets
everyone channel their inner Jack Sparrow. The

478
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.880
friends came up with the idea during
a racquetball game and say it's all about

479
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:22.480
having fun, embracing create hitot creativity, and being silly. I can go

480
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:29.759
for that, especially after today.
