Speaker 2: Investigators say the man who set off a bomb outside

Speaker 2: test videos. Twenty five year old Guy Bartkiss died in
Speaker 2: the explosion Saturday. Investigators say he posted videos on YouTube
Speaker 2: months ago showing various homemade explosives. One of them shows
Speaker 2: a large explosion in a desert area. The YouTube account
Speaker 2: linked with the videos has been deactivated with the videos
Speaker 2: and they can no longer be found online. Former FBI
Speaker 2: official Robin Drake told KTLA he thinks this incident could
Speaker 2: lead to the start of a new area of investigation
Speaker 2: for the FBI.
Speaker 6: This is really going to be, I think a new
Speaker 6: data point for the FBI to start creating profiles and
Speaker 6: doing some deep research on this, because you know, if
Speaker 6: you have one, there's potentially others.
Speaker 2: The FBI says bart Kiss, who was killed, and they
Speaker 2: believe he is the one who set the explosion and
Speaker 2: he is anti pro life. All right, right, Let's take
Speaker 2: a quick look at your traffic with a crash on
Speaker 2: the sixth, so five and Wittier.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got some problems on the six and you know,
Speaker 4: I think they give you the wrong teas there or
Speaker 4: didn't you know what maybe that was from yesterday. Let's
Speaker 4: talk about something different. How about the five in the
Speaker 4: Commerce area. It's going to be the five southbound right
Speaker 4: around Garfield. Two vehicles, one of them is overturned. It's
Speaker 4: all in the right lane, and traffic stopped all the
Speaker 4: way back from Washington as a result. It's tough there.
Speaker 4: We've already got some backup in the Inland Empire as well.
Speaker 4: Two fifteen northbound at Martin Luther King. That's a car
Speaker 4: fire that got things backed up to the sixties. They
Speaker 4: worked to clean up that mess. And on the four
Speaker 4: oh five, I missed this one just barely, thankful, least
Speaker 4: southbound side of the four h five down there by
Speaker 4: a Ventura Boulevard. A crash in lanes, and traffic quickly
Speaker 4: stopped all the way back from the oneh one. Really
Speaker 4: slow there as you try to head towards the Subpulvita Pass.
Speaker 4: With Southern California's most accurate traffic reports, I'm wi Cole Schreiber.
Speaker 3: Thank you, will all right.
Speaker 2: On Monday, President Trump held separate calls with Russian President
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski, aiming to end
Speaker 2: what he calls the bloodbath in Ukraine. Heyfi, White House
Speaker 2: correspondent John Decker is here to help us break down
Speaker 2: the significance of these calls.
Speaker 3: Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you, Heather.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 8: They were significant, and this was just the third phone
Speaker 8: conversation that President Trump has had with President Putin since
Speaker 8: he took office for his second term. It was a
Speaker 8: two hour plus conversation. We got that from both the
Speaker 8: Kremlin and the White House. The President very optimistic, but
Speaker 8: the fact of the matter is, nothing's really changed. Two
Speaker 8: and a half months ago, Ukraine agreed to a thirty
Speaker 8: day ceasefire, that was a proposal put on the table
Speaker 8: by the US. But two and a half months later,
Speaker 8: Russia has still not agreed to that thirty day ceasefire.
Speaker 8: And even after that call that President Trump had with
Speaker 8: President Putin yesterday, they're no closer to getting Russia to
Speaker 8: agree to that thirty day cease fire.
Speaker 2: So Trump's call reportedly lasted over two hours and was
Speaker 2: described as quote very informative. So do we have any sense,
Speaker 2: any nuggets of information about what was actually discussed in
Speaker 2: that two hour phone.
Speaker 8: Call, Well, some nuggets. I was in the Oval office
Speaker 8: late in the afternoon yesterday. I asked the President some
Speaker 8: question in regards to his conversation with President Putin, And
Speaker 8: you know what the President said was he thought that
Speaker 8: this was positive in the sense that what Russia has
Speaker 8: agreed to is to continue conversations with Ukraine, but not
Speaker 8: at the leadership level. You're not going to see a
Speaker 8: face to face meeting at this stage between President Putin
Speaker 8: and President Zelenski. The President mentioned the idea of increasing
Speaker 8: trade if a peace deal is reached between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 8: That with that is trade between Russia and the US.
Speaker 8: But you know, look, I can't think of one product
Speaker 8: from Russia that Americans desire. I mean, there's it's not
Speaker 8: like it's a huge market that the US desires to
Speaker 8: increase trade. Russia would certainly could use a lot. Their
Speaker 8: economies been devastated by sanctions placed upon them, and there's
Speaker 8: the threat of more sanctions being placed upon the Russian government,
Speaker 8: not only from the US, but from Europe as well.
Speaker 2: The only thing I could think of immediately was vodka, obviously,
Speaker 2: but that feels very stereotype.
Speaker 8: We got Russian.
Speaker 2: Vactor you want a stereotype. Let's talk about what Trup mentioned.
Speaker 2: He mentioned that the Vatican might host negotiations.
Speaker 3: What is that about.
Speaker 2: Is there any historical precedent there for the Vatican playing
Speaker 2: this kind of role.
Speaker 8: Well, I think that Pope Leo, the newly installed pope,
Speaker 8: you know, realizes that this particular war is at a
Speaker 8: stalemate three years on and no movement in terms of
Speaker 8: moving to peace, and he's offered his good offices to
Speaker 8: try to reach or at least get on a pathway
Speaker 8: to peace. And the President taking up Pope Leo on
Speaker 8: that particular offer, but there's nothing firm. There's no meeting
Speaker 8: that is on the schedule in the course of the
Speaker 8: next few days, the next few weeks taking place at
Speaker 8: the Vatican involving Ukraine and Russia. Will have to see,
Speaker 8: you know, whether or not that actually gains any traction.
Speaker 3: So at this point, it seems like there really was no.
Speaker 2: Major movement towards any sort of resolution, which is what
Speaker 2: I think everyone was sort of hoping for.
Speaker 8: Is that right? That is right, and that's unfortunate. You know,
Speaker 8: it's been frustrating for the president. He's expressed that frustration.
Speaker 8: I heard it yesterday from the White House Press Secretary
Speaker 8: Caroline Levitt, you know, talking about the president's frustration that
Speaker 8: he's had in terms of trying to end this war,
Speaker 8: get on a pathway to peace. But even after a
Speaker 8: two hour plus conversation yesterday, it just doesn't sound like
Speaker 8: we're any closer to bringing an end to that war.
Speaker 8: And those attacks by Russia on civilian areas, drone attacks
Speaker 8: on civilian areas in Ukraine, they continue, even after the
Speaker 8: President had this conversation with President Putin.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, we'll continue to keep a close eye on
Speaker 2: this story, John, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 8: Thanks a lot, Heather, have a great day.
Speaker 9: Bye bye.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 2: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former
Speaker 2: President Biden's office says the eighty two year old and
Speaker 2: his family are continuing to review cancer treatment options. ABC's
Speaker 2: Avery Harper says there are reasons for the timeline of
Speaker 2: Biden's diagnosis.
Speaker 3: Healthcare is individualized.
Speaker 10: It's based on a person's health, their personal risk factors,
Speaker 10: family history, and presidents are just the same, and there's
Speaker 10: also no standard for what a president divulges about their
Speaker 10: medical evaluations.
Speaker 2: She also says there's no standards in terms of what
Speaker 2: tests a president gets during a physical exam. The federal
Speaker 2: government has settled a lawsuit filed by the family of
Speaker 2: Ashley Babbitt, the woman from San Diego who was shot
Speaker 2: and killed by a policeman during the riot at the
Speaker 2: US Capitol on January sixth. ABC Stephen Portnoy says the
Speaker 2: settlement is opposed by the head of the Capitol Police.

Speaker 7: the path forward. McMahon has made clear she opposes settling

Speaker 11: The apartment go over.

Speaker 2: it's going to be like one thousand degrees in LA today,
Speaker 2: so we all are kind of ready. I think maybe
Speaker 2: in that summer mindset.
Speaker 12: Yep, yep.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to some news, shall we.
Speaker 2: Here's some of the stories we're following in the KFI
Speaker 2: twenty four hour newsroom. A business owner and commerce was
Speaker 2: conducting a private sale and he was fatally shot a
Speaker 2: man connected to the buyer. Authorities are investigating the incident
Speaker 2: and have not released any identities of people involved. The

Speaker 3: Then at six oh five, it's Handle on the news.
Speaker 2: The Trump administration has agrees to pay has agreed to
Speaker 2: pay just under five million dollars to settle a wrongful
Speaker 2: death lawsuit that Ashley Babbitt's family filed over her shooting.
Speaker 2: We're going to tell you more about that right now,
Speaker 2: Let's say good morning for the first time to well
Speaker 2: not for the first time. For the first time, the
Speaker 2: public is seeing the graphic evidence behind the federal government's
Speaker 2: case against music mogul Sean Diddy Coombs. ABC's Peter Harlamboos,
Speaker 2: who has been following the case closely, is joining us now.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Peter, Good morning, Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 2: All Right, So, the release of these photos marks a
Speaker 2: turning point in the public's view of this case. I
Speaker 2: know you've been following this very closely. What has stood
Speaker 2: out most to you about the evidence that they've unveiled.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, we've heard all about
Speaker 11: these allegations interred at four days of testimony last week,
Speaker 11: but seeing the photos as something else, we're finally getting
Speaker 11: these pieces of evidence put into the public record, prosecuted
Speaker 11: releasing them yesterday. In addition, to a video showing Comb's
Speaker 11: assaulting Ventura at a hotel. In these videos, you can
Speaker 11: see what she described across her graphic testimony, the bruises,
Speaker 11: the gases that she's said she endured at the hands
Speaker 11: of Combs, the effort she went to conceal them using
Speaker 11: makeup when she had to go to a red carpet premiere,
Speaker 11: for example, and even some of the materials that prosecutors
Speaker 11: say they seized from combs to hotel room when they
Speaker 11: rated it last year. They found nine thousand dollars in cash,
Speaker 11: drugs that tasted positive for ketamine and MDMA, and tons
Speaker 11: and tons of bottles of baby oil, which Ventura testified
Speaker 11: were kind of key to these these sex parties that
Speaker 11: are kind of at the center of the case called
Speaker 11: freak offs. Really, it's one thing to see to hear
Speaker 11: about them in testimony. It's another thing to see these
Speaker 11: photos that the jury has been examining at this point
Speaker 11: for days.
Speaker 2: So the list of some of the items that we're
Speaker 2: seeing you just mentioned there, ketamine, the baby oil, in
Speaker 2: large amounts of cash. How are prosecutors using these elements
Speaker 2: to tie in the larger trafficking and racketeering charges?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think they're slowly trying to piece this all together.
Speaker 11: I think, if anything, they used those pieces of evidence
Speaker 11: to kind of establish the credibility of their star witness.
Speaker 11: During the first few days of testimony, they really focused
Speaker 11: on that twenty sixteen assault at a hotel that was
Speaker 11: captured on video. If anything, that's kind of like the
Speaker 11: anchor of this case for the prosecutor. It's kind of
Speaker 11: showing on camera Ventura, excuse me, Combs beating Ventura, something
Speaker 11: that they really have no defense to other than saying
Speaker 11: that while that might be domestic violence, it isn't rocketeering
Speaker 11: or sex trafficking. I think as we see this case progressed,
Speaker 11: I think we'll see more and more of this evidence
Speaker 11: to corrobreak the story that this wasn't a one off thing,
Speaker 11: this was a pattern of conduct, that this was an
Speaker 11: enterprise that prosecutors say was criminal.
Speaker 2: Now I know, you know, we have all as the
Speaker 2: general public scene for years, their red carpet photos, these
Speaker 2: forward facing photos that they put out in their public
Speaker 2: life together that seemingly indicated there was nothing going on
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. We would have no idea. But now
Speaker 2: we're really peeling back the layers and getting to see
Speaker 2: what was going on. Do you think that these visuals
Speaker 2: are going to impact the jury as well as public
Speaker 2: opinion in this case?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think for the jury, I think there are
Speaker 11: times really effective, especially when the prosecutors are contrasting the
Speaker 11: private photos of Ventura, the ones she took of herself
Speaker 11: documenting the bruising, documenting the gashes, and they contrast them
Speaker 11: to the red carpet images that were used to seeing.
Speaker 11: And you can see in these photos the prosecutors ventured
Speaker 11: into evidence the efforts to which Ventura was going to
Speaker 11: conceal this bruising, these injuries, the makeup she was using
Speaker 11: to hide black eyes, to hide bruising, but she was
Speaker 11: wearing on the red carpet long dresses that concealed bruises
Speaker 11: on her legs. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 11: we're used to seeing these celebrities in the context of
Speaker 11: these high profile red carpets, and it's interesting and if anything,
Speaker 11: very compelling for this jury to see those images with
Speaker 11: the new context of what was being done to conceal
Speaker 11: all of this violence that Ventura alleges was done upon her.
Speaker 11: I think that clearly came across during the testimony last
Speaker 11: week and now we're just beginning to see it as
Speaker 11: members of the public.
Speaker 2: All right, so quickly looking ahead, what's the next step
Speaker 2: in the prosecution's case and what kind of defense is
Speaker 2: Combs's team, you know, likely looking to mount in response
Speaker 2: to this evidence.
Speaker 11: So at this point, the prosecution has five more weeks
Speaker 11: of testimony. We're going to hear from more victims, but
Speaker 11: this week, I think we're expecting to hear from some
Speaker 11: people closer to Venturre, including your mother, who could be
Speaker 11: called as early as today. We're also expecting to hear
Speaker 11: from another male escort today who's going to be called
Speaker 11: this morning as witness. You know, this is a long case.
Speaker 11: They have plenty of time to prove the idea of
Speaker 11: this criminal enterprise, and at this point we're expecting to
Speaker 11: see the end of the case revert, hopefully by July fourth.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people also, too, are curious
Speaker 2: to find out if any other celebrity names are mentioned
Speaker 2: in this case, so I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: will be watching closely for that as well. Peter, thank
Speaker 2: you so much for your time, and we'll touch base soon.
Speaker 11: Thanks for for having me all.
Speaker 2: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out

Speaker 2: what you have planned for Memorial Day weekend, what you
Speaker 2: enjoy doing over the weekend with your family, and what
Speaker 2: you're most looking forward to this summer.
Speaker 3: You go into the beach, are you're going to go
Speaker 3: to the pool?
Speaker 2: Are you going to just be netflixing and chilling inside
Speaker 2: to try to stay cool.
Speaker 3: It's all welcome. We want to hear from you.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some of the stories coming
Speaker 2: out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. With forecasts
Speaker 2: showing a thirty to fifty percent chance of the US
Speaker 2: economy could slide into recession this year, many Americans are
Speaker 2: understandably a little bit anxious. And now while we can't
Speaker 2: control economic trends, we can control how we respond to them.
Speaker 2: ABC's Jim Ryan is here with more about what this
Speaker 2: means for everyday consumers.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Jim, Good morning, Heather.
Speaker 14: Yeah, anxiety is one thing, but then channeling that anxiety
Speaker 14: into something positive, trying to prepare for nothing inevitable, then
Speaker 14: at least the possible that is an inflation, you know,
Speaker 14: job laws and skyrotting prices and whatnot. So yeah, they
Speaker 14: Investipedia wallet hub financial advisors are urging people to set
Speaker 14: some money aside. It's that simple, making sure that you
Speaker 14: have an emergency fund. Very few Americans actually have that,
Speaker 14: according to surveys, and the average family needs something like
Speaker 14: thirty five thousand dollars to go for six months that
Speaker 14: include housing, transportation, food, those sorts of costs, much less
Speaker 14: having something aside for emergencies.
Speaker 2: Heather, all right, So for people who may already feel
Speaker 2: financially stretched, Hello, I'm raising my hand over here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what is the first and most sort of realistic step
Speaker 2: that we can take to prepare well?
Speaker 14: Making some sort of automatic payment every week? Right, So
Speaker 14: you set up an account first of all, maybe a
Speaker 14: high yield savings account away from your current bank, right,
Speaker 14: so that when you open the app for your bank,
Speaker 14: you're not seeing your regular checking, then your savings account,
Speaker 14: then your credit card.
Speaker 12: It makes it that much.
Speaker 14: Easier to transfer from one into the other, into Rob
Speaker 14: Peter to pay Paul.
Speaker 15: Right.
Speaker 14: So if you set it off into an account and
Speaker 14: set up some kind of automatic payment every week into
Speaker 14: that account.
Speaker 12: It'll start to grow.
Speaker 14: Then when an emergency does come along and you leave
Speaker 14: it alone, unless there is an emergency, then it'll be there.
Speaker 14: It'll be there waiting for you. And yeah, every week
Speaker 14: it gets a little larger.
Speaker 2: So you often hear the term rainy day funds, which
Speaker 2: is such a fun little term there. What exactly constitutes
Speaker 2: like a rainy day fund and how much should someone
Speaker 2: be ideally trying to save and what counts as a
Speaker 2: true emergency.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a great question. And it's all based and
Speaker 14: you can find nerd wallet, for example, has an online
Speaker 14: calculator to figure out what you should be setting aside.
Speaker 14: And it's not based on your income, it has nothing
Speaker 14: to do with that. It's on how much you spend, right,
Speaker 14: So your rent or mortgage, your utility, payments, the debts,
Speaker 14: the grocery expenses, that sort of thing. Figure that all out,
Speaker 14: extend that out for you know, three four or five
Speaker 14: six months, and you've come up with an amount that
Speaker 14: you should be setting aside or should have in reserve,
Speaker 14: just in case the unknown happens. You know, if a
Speaker 14: recession does come, if you lose your job suddenly you're
Speaker 14: having to pay more for groceries. At least you'll have
Speaker 14: something in reserve. By the way, just having a little
Speaker 14: bit in reserve. A psychologist say that if you have
Speaker 14: two thousand dollars set aside in a savings account, your
Speaker 14: sense of financial well being, the way you feel about
Speaker 14: your finances goes up twenty one percent. Right, So, even
Speaker 14: with that small amount in there, I imagine what having
Speaker 14: four or five six, maybe ten thousand or the thirty
Speaker 14: five thousand recommended by financial planners for an average family,
Speaker 14: how much easier it's going to make your life feel
Speaker 14: At least?
Speaker 2: Are there any common mistakes that people make when they
Speaker 2: think of recession is coming?
Speaker 14: Not using that emergency fund as an emergency fund, dipping
Speaker 14: into it and you know it's more convenient, I'm just
Speaker 14: gonna do that. I'll use some of the money in
Speaker 14: there instead of my usual checking account or debit card
Speaker 14: or something. That's a big mistake that you see here,
Speaker 14: and you know it's as if a recession is coming.
Speaker 14: You want to make sure that that's something that hasn't
Speaker 14: been touched at least as far as withdrawals are concerned.
Speaker 3: All right, So it's not my coffee fund, it's not
Speaker 3: my shopping fund.
Speaker 2: I need to leave it, leave it alone, got it,
Speaker 2: all right, Jim, thank you so much for sure your
Speaker 2: time today to Heather. All right, now it is time
Speaker 2: to get in your business. Get up in your business
Speaker 2: with the Bloomberg's Courtney dot Jo.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Courtney, Good morning.
Speaker 9: I still laugh about every single morning.
Speaker 3: I'm sure people listening are like, why business? These people
Speaker 3: are wild.
Speaker 2: All right, let's jump right into We got a lot
Speaker 2: of fun things to talk about today. Sprite is dropping
Speaker 2: a new flavor drink.
Speaker 9: For the summer exactly, and I'm here to fill the
Speaker 9: tea this morning. And that's your first clue, Oh folks,
Speaker 9: a Coca Cola noticed a viral trend of people steeping
Speaker 9: tea bags in ice cold Sprite, so after several rounds
Speaker 9: of consumer testing to fine tune that formula. Sprite is
Speaker 9: now rolling out its own version called Sprite plus Tea,
Speaker 9: so the drink is hitting store shelves this week. Sprit
Speaker 9: plus Tea will be available for a limited time until
Speaker 9: October in regular and also zero sugar version, so be
Speaker 9: on the lookout for that. If you really like a
Speaker 9: little bit of vice tea and a little Sprit combined.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say no, thank you. That does not sound very.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm taking a hard path on it to eliminate.
Speaker 9: I'd be like, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 2: With you if that's what you're into, but I don't
Speaker 2: think it's brite and tea.
Speaker 3: That's not for me. Not for me, all right. If
Speaker 3: you're flying, no, I agree.
Speaker 2: If you're flying to several cities, this summer lift is
Speaker 2: bringing back cheaper shared trips from the airport yay. Yeah.
Speaker 9: So they're piloting the program in eight cities, including La
Speaker 9: so good news for you guys. Also Boston, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Denver, Vegas,
Speaker 9: New Orleans. So here's how it works. A passenger at
Speaker 9: those airports going in a similar direction, they're going to
Speaker 9: be all picked up in the same car. So people
Speaker 9: taking these shared trips could see as much as the
Speaker 9: twenty percent discount compared to a regular lift, and we're
Speaker 9: all looking to save a little money in this environment.
Speaker 9: But keep in mind that Lift actually discontinued share drives
Speaker 9: two years ago. They said it took too many people
Speaker 9: way out of their way, so they said, we're not
Speaker 9: going to do it. But I guess people are looking
Speaker 9: for it again, especially as they try to save money.
Speaker 2: And people are looking to save a little bit of
Speaker 2: money at home depots, So what's going on there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so there's a couple of things going on at
Speaker 9: home depot, So economic turbulence has definitely been squeezing spending
Speaker 9: recently at home depot. Sales for the home improvement retailer
Speaker 9: came in lower than what Wall Street expected in the
Speaker 9: latest quarter. Customers are telling them that the interest rate
Speaker 9: environment remains a big consideration and a lot of people
Speaker 9: are deferring these large home improvement projects for now. But
Speaker 9: Home People Management says consumer habits remain steady and that
Speaker 9: allowed the company to maintain their financial guidance for the year. Plus.
Speaker 9: It's a little more positive on tariffs than other retailers.
Speaker 9: Looking right at your Walmart they've been defersifying their supply chain,
Speaker 9: and that's going to help Home Depot generally keep a
Speaker 9: lid on price hikes, which is good news if you
Speaker 9: need to go in and you need to fix something
Speaker 9: on your house. But it's very different than what Walmart
Speaker 9: said last week, where they sent out a warning that
Speaker 9: price hikes are going to be ahead, especially some of
Speaker 9: them coming within this month.
Speaker 2: All right, Courtney, thank you so much. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I'll be here tomorrow. I mean, I'll be here
Speaker 2: on this earth, I believe, but I don't know if.
Speaker 3: I will be here at wake up Paul. But we hope.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I need that dark. I made that dark.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, but Amy, maybe back tomorrow is what
Speaker 2: I was getting at. So thank you so much for
Speaker 2: your time.
Speaker 9: Definitely we'll see it soon no matter what.
Speaker 3: All right, bye bye, Let's get back man. I made
Speaker 3: that dark. Wow, real yet dark.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get back to a couple of stories coming
Speaker 2: out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman
Speaker 2: whose embryos were being stored at the Ivy of clinic
Speaker 2: in Palm Springs targeted and explosions say they are grateful
Speaker 2: to the firefighters who save them. This woman told kat
Speaker 2: Lay she had egg stored at the clinic since March.
Speaker 2: My embryo is already a little fighter because she's she's
Speaker 2: the only embryo that made it.
Speaker 13: She survived this incident.
Speaker 2: She says, her embryo transfer is on schedule at a
Speaker 2: different clinic. The historic US Courthouse on Spring Street and
Speaker 2: Downtow in LA was built in the nineteen thirties, and
Speaker 2: it's now up for an expedited sale by the federal government.
Speaker 2: The General Services Administration aims to offload under used properties,
Speaker 2: and this fourteen story landmark is among them. While no
Speaker 2: official price is listed, estimates suggested could fetch around sixty
Speaker 2: million dollars.
Speaker 3: Wowser, will how'd you like to buy a building downtown?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sure, why not?
Speaker 16: Why not?
Speaker 11: We'll go in.
Speaker 3: I'm sure if we all compile our money a little
Speaker 3: bit a lot, we're going to.
Speaker 12: Need a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Hey, we're taking your talkbacks this morning. Let me know
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. Just hit that talkback button what
Speaker 2: you are looking forward to doing with your family and

Speaker 2: to hear what you're up to and when we come back.
Speaker 2: Economic jitters are prompting young adults to tighten their belts
Speaker 2: and how to Money's joelars Guard will join us to
Speaker 2: talk about how inflation and recession fears are influencing millennials
Speaker 2: financial behaviors.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: A federal judge is weighing a plea deal for La
Speaker 2: County Deputy Trevor Kirk, convicted of assaulting a woman in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Two Colombian men have been indicted in
Speaker 2: La accused of trying to trade cocaine for weapons to
Speaker 2: support a terrorist group fighting the Colombian government. And the
Speaker 2: Milky Way will light up the night sky with billions
Speaker 2: of stars this month, and it'll be brighter than usual
Speaker 2: for most of the northern hemisphere. Lifescience dot com says
Speaker 2: the best time to view the Milky Way is tonight
Speaker 2: through next Friday. So I'm very excited about that, and
Speaker 2: we're just minutes away from handle. On the news, President
Speaker 2: Trump went off script when talking about Biden's cancer diagnosis.
Speaker 2: We're going to tell you what he said about the
Speaker 2: former president and his prognosis. As economic concerns continue to grow,
Speaker 2: many millennials are adjusting their spending patterns and why are
Speaker 2: people tipping lest How to Money's Joel Larsgard joins us
Speaker 2: to offer insights into navigating financial uncery.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Joel, are you there? Hello? Hello?
Speaker 2: All right, we might be having some technical difficulties with Joel.
Speaker 2: We'll come back to that in just a few minutes.
Speaker 2: Right now, we are waiting. I'd love to hear your talkbacks.
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from you, guys about what you plan
Speaker 2: to do this weekend for Memorial Day and how you
Speaker 2: plan to celebrate with your family. Just use that talkback
Speaker 2: button on the iHeartRadio app, or you can send me
Speaker 2: I guess we're still condom tweets. You can throw me
Speaker 2: a little something over on X at the Heather Brooker.
Speaker 2: Let me know what you have planned with your family
Speaker 2: and friends this summer.
Speaker 3: Do we have Joel yet?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, Joel A right, I'm going to if we
Speaker 2: get him, hopefully before the end of the show, we
Speaker 2: will bring you guys. His segment but if not, we're
Speaker 2: gonna just carry on. They as they say in show biz,
Speaker 2: the show must go on. Let's get back some of
Speaker 2: the store. He's coming out of the KFI twenty four
Speaker 2: hour newsroom. There's a new study on sleep, and ABC's
Speaker 2: Sherry Preston says snoozing is not good.
Speaker 3: It's a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Speaker 2: Quotes researchers who say the minutes just before waking are
Speaker 2: the most important phase of sleep, when rapid eye movements
Speaker 2: are at their peak.
Speaker 3: Snoozing interrupts that.
Speaker 2: She says the best advice is to get set your
Speaker 2: alarm for the latest possible time and then commit to
Speaker 2: getting out of bed the first time it goes off.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I'm never doing it. Joel, are you here?
Speaker 3: Do we have Joel?
Speaker 12: I'm here, I'm here, big, Good morning, Good morning, Heather.
Speaker 2: All right, So I kind of threw a little story
Speaker 2: at you last minute, and I want to get to
Speaker 2: that quickly before we run out of time.
Speaker 3: I saw this on my TikTok on my social media.
Speaker 2: The Trump bill, the budget bill is allowing for something
Speaker 2: called a MAGA account.
Speaker 3: What is that all about?
Speaker 6: Okay, so this is really interesting and it's still just
Speaker 6: a proposal, so it's a vaporware, so we don't know
Speaker 6: if this is actually going to become a part.
Speaker 12: Of this so called big beautiful bill.
Speaker 6: But essentially, this is a proposal that's been made by
Speaker 6: both Republicans and Democrats in the past, and it's an
Speaker 6: attempt to help youngsters save and invest for their future.
Speaker 6: So this MAGA account, it's somewhere between. It's kind of
Speaker 6: like a hybrid of a five to twenty nine and
Speaker 6: a four to one K where the government essentially invests
Speaker 6: one thousand dollars for kids who are born.
Speaker 12: Over the next few years.
Speaker 6: And which is part of what I don't like about
Speaker 6: this is that this proposal is likely only going to
Speaker 6: be around for a few years until its sunsets. So
Speaker 6: if we're gonna if we think this is a good thing,
Speaker 6: let's keep it around for a long time. And if
Speaker 6: we don't, let's not do it at all. But yeah,
Speaker 6: this is a really interesting idea, and again it's been
Speaker 6: a bipartisan proposal at different times to say, hey, for
Speaker 6: to allow the next generation to start building wealth through
Speaker 6: the future, let's start investing in them and allowing them
Speaker 6: to take part in stuff bock market gains from the
Speaker 6: minute that they're born.
Speaker 2: Well, I know that some of the questions that people
Speaker 2: had about it were like, they can't access it till
Speaker 2: they're twenty five or thirty. There's a lot of questionable
Speaker 2: things about it. So I want to encourage people to
Speaker 2: do their research on this, you know, before before anything
Speaker 2: moves forward.
Speaker 6: And from what I could tell by the way, it
Speaker 6: looks like they're going to have access to the funds
Speaker 6: at age eighteen and then they need to be spent
Speaker 6: down by age thirty one. So it's essentially to say, hey,
Speaker 6: we'll stick a thousand bucks in and your parents can
Speaker 6: even add more to it, and it's a way for
Speaker 6: you to say, I don't know, maybe have actually some
Speaker 6: money to buy a home when you turn when you're
Speaker 6: in your early twenties, or to start a business or
Speaker 6: something like that. So the kind of idea behind it,
Speaker 6: the concept I think makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 12: The details.
Speaker 6: The devil's going to be in the details, and then
Speaker 6: in particular that detail of how long this account is
Speaker 6: actually in action, Because if it's really only to help
Speaker 6: kids that are born over the next few years and
Speaker 6: then it goes away, then and I don't think it
Speaker 6: will have done.
Speaker 3: Its job and really quickly before we have to go.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about millennials cutting back on their expenses because
Speaker 2: of the economic anxiety.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so this is something The Wall Street Journal
Speaker 6: had an article about this, and I think people are seeing,
Speaker 6: you know, tariffs and higher predictions of recession. And there's
Speaker 6: something about kind of the perpetually online nature of our
Speaker 6: society too, and just the fact that people are are
Speaker 6: saying they're seeing they're being exposed more to economic uncertainty
Speaker 6: in the reality that we're not sure where things are headed.
Speaker 6: The truth is there's always some of that. And even
Speaker 6: when there's when it feels like things are smooth sailing,
Speaker 6: things pop out of nowhere, like COVID for instance, where
Speaker 6: you're like, oh, it seems like the economy is doing
Speaker 6: well and then boom, COVID drops on us and it
Speaker 6: sends our economy and supply chains into a tailspin. So
Speaker 6: even the thing, even if there are things that are
Speaker 6: not on our radar coming up, there's always something that's
Speaker 6: at risk to our collective economic.
Speaker 12: Future into our individual economic futures.
Speaker 6: But people are saying, Hey, I'm anxious, and what I'm
Speaker 6: doing because of that is I'm pulling back on my spending,
Speaker 6: and I think that can make sense, right. I'm all
Speaker 6: for frugality, but I also don't want people to let
Speaker 6: fear drive their lives, and so I want people to
Speaker 6: be careful about saying, hey, I'm anxious, so I'm gonna
Speaker 6: hoard money and not spend as I normally would. I
Speaker 6: think there are times to cut back significantly, for sure,
Speaker 6: but I just want people to be prepared, which means
Speaker 6: having a basic emergency fund.
Speaker 12: I say you need to have at least three thou
Speaker 12: forty five dollars.
Speaker 6: That's the baseline amount I want people to have in
Speaker 6: their savings account that can help you weather most emergencies
Speaker 6: that are.
Speaker 12: Going to come along.
Speaker 6: And beyond that, yeah, be saving more, but also don't
Speaker 6: let fear and uncertainty drive your decision making.
Speaker 3: That is such great advice.
Speaker 2: Everyone listen to How to Money on Sundays from noon
Speaker 2: to two right here on KFI.
Speaker 7: Is that right?
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure I got it right.
Speaker 3: That's it awesome, Thank you, Joel.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to see thanks ether all right, before we
Speaker 2: head out, I want to get to some of your talkbacks.
Speaker 2: You guys have been sending us messages all day, and
Speaker 2: I hope I'm going to do this right here we go.
Speaker 11: Good morning. My wife and I are going to go
Speaker 11: to my son's place and just have a nice intimate
Speaker 11: barbecue on Memorial Day.
Speaker 3: That sounds nice.
Speaker 16: Good morning, Heather. I always love it when I wake
Speaker 16: up to you. I live in Bakersfield, so during the
Speaker 16: summer I like to sit in the air conditioning because
Speaker 16: it's hot.

Speaker 15: But this year we're taking a break. We are gonna
