Speaker 1: rules the roost like they just I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is the correct terminology. They outdive everybody. Is just
Speaker 1: so fun to watch, and especially I love the tandem diving.
Speaker 1: They were doing the women's like ten meter, which I
Speaker 1: think is what is that like thirty feet? That's quite
Speaker 1: a high dive. Also, watch the track and I am
Speaker 1: astounded by how fast these women can run. I was
Speaker 1: watching just the women yesterday, but American Gabby Thomas she
Speaker 1: won her heat in the two hundred metals, so she
Speaker 1: qualifies for the final. And then Mackenzie Long and Britney
Speaker 1: Brown also moved on to the women's two hundred meter final.
Speaker 1: I think I'm not sure if that's today, but that's
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch it. And can I just
Speaker 1: say these women are stunning and I love that they're
Speaker 1: like world class athletes. Same thing with gymnastics, and everybody's
Speaker 1: all dulled up. Their hair's done, their makeup's done, their
Speaker 1: nails are done. They are ready for prime time. Fun
Speaker 1: to watch and a good excuse for me to sit
Speaker 1: on the couch on a hot summer day. Here's what's
Speaker 1: ahead on wake up call. Parts of the Edge Hill
Speaker 1: neighborhood in San Bernardino have been reduced to ash and rubble,
Speaker 1: looking more like a moonscape. At least five homes have
Speaker 1: been destroyed in the fire that broke out yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 1: prompting evacuations for people living south of Ridgeline Drive. Fire's
Speaker 1: progress has been stopped. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected

Speaker 1: more about that with ABC's and Flaarty coming up at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour. July was the hottest month
Speaker 1: ever on record in California. New data shows the average
Speaker 1: temperature was eighty one. That's two degrees higher than in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. The month started with a heat wave
Speaker 1: that lasted almost two weeks and played a role in
Speaker 1: the spread of wildfires, including the fourth largest ever in
Speaker 1: California that has burned four hundred and six thousand acres. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: of course, a wild ride on Wall Street. We're gonna
Speaker 1: watch what's gonna happen today, and we're gonna find out
Speaker 1: if you should panic now or stay the course. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking to our money guy, Joel Larsgard that's
Speaker 1: coming up before the top of the hour. He's always
Speaker 1: got great financial advice for us. We're also going to
Speaker 1: be checking in with Jordana Miller in Jerusalem as things
Speaker 1: continue to stay at fever pitch as a worries of
Speaker 1: a more widespread war continue in the Middle East. Let's
Speaker 1: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom that fast moving wildfire
Speaker 1: has destroyed several homes in San Bernardino.
Speaker 4: In the mid afternoon, the fire along Beverly Drive on
Speaker 4: Little Mountain had consumed one hundred acres, taking several houses
Speaker 4: one by one. By early evening, firefighters had stopped it
Speaker 4: from spreading. San Bernardino County Fire depart and spokesman Eric
Speaker 4: Sherwin says this fire was a fast one.
Speaker 5: It moves so quickly across the slope.
Speaker 4: Even getting our structured defense engines in place in enough
Speaker 4: time that they can actually do productive work was quite
Speaker 4: a challenge. On this incident, around two hundred firefighters were
Speaker 4: called to the scene at its height, including from neighboring
Speaker 4: counties in San Bernardino. Michael Monks KFI.
Speaker 1: News Neighbors who lived below the burning hillside watched in
Speaker 1: horror as the fire consumed homes on Little Mountain. Cameron
Speaker 1: Luna says he's learned a lesson to be ready for
Speaker 1: a wildfire at his door.
Speaker 5: During the fire, when there was chances of ambers running
Speaker 5: to dry areas over here, I started grabbing things kind
Speaker 5: of late. So I'm going to be a little bit
Speaker 5: more prepared next time.
Speaker 1: Luna says he and his neighbors at the foot of
Speaker 1: the hills started watering their properties in anticipation of the
Speaker 1: fire moving their way. Firefighters were able to stop it
Speaker 1: before that happened. A federal judge in Washington has ruled
Speaker 1: in an anti trust case that Google has acted to
Speaker 1: maintain a monopoly over the online search business Abces Rebecca Jarvis's.
Speaker 1: The ruling yesterday could also impact other companies.
Speaker 6: The judge will now decide whether to break up parts
Speaker 6: of Google or how the company operates as part of
Speaker 6: its business.
Speaker 1: Google says it will appeal the ruling. Japan's benchmark nie
Speaker 1: K average has soared more than ten percent, a day
Speaker 1: after it set markets tumbling in Europe and the US.
Speaker 1: The knee K fell more than twelve percent yesterday. Nearly
Speaker 1: everything on Wall Street was also down as investors worried
Speaker 1: the US economy is slowing too much. The SNP five
Speaker 1: hundred sanc three percent. That was its worst day in
Speaker 1: nearly two years. The Dow dropped more than a thousand points.
Speaker 1: The Nasdaq was down three point four percent. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking more about that with Joel
Speaker 1: Larsgard coming up at the bottom. Actually, before the end
Speaker 1: of the hour, let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana
Speaker 1: Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, we're hearing that an attack by
Speaker 1: Iran and its proxies against Israel could come at any moment.
Speaker 1: So how are Israelis preparing for that and kind of
Speaker 1: where what's the feeling where you are in Jerusalem.
Speaker 7: Well, I would say things are very very tense, and
Speaker 7: there's kind of a low grade anxiety as Israeli's kind
Speaker 7: of weight for the moments that the spokesman for the
Speaker 7: Israeli Army, you know, holds a pressor and says, okay,
Speaker 7: now the moment when everyone needs to be, you know,
Speaker 7: close to their safe rooms. So you know, Israelis are
Speaker 7: essentially stocking up on water and canned food and you know,
Speaker 7: putting mattresses down in their safe rooms or cleaning out
Speaker 7: bomb shelters if it's in a building, and basically getting
Speaker 7: ready to hunger in for you know, the attack. It's
Speaker 7: clear that Iran is going to launch what it calls,
Speaker 7: you know, it's called it a decisive strike, but we
Speaker 7: still don't know exactly when it will start and if
Speaker 7: it will also include hasbo Lah, which is likely, but
Speaker 7: as the lag could strike separately or first, because one
Speaker 7: of their top commanders was also killed hours before the
Speaker 7: top HOMOS leader was killed in Tehran. So you know,
Speaker 7: there's a lot of a lot of moving pieces. And
Speaker 7: the estimate here at least in Israel, which now really
Speaker 7: is in line with the American estimate, is that the
Speaker 7: Iranians are still trying to figure out exactly what they're
Speaker 7: going to do, and that's why we haven't seen the
Speaker 7: strike yet, but it's surely coming.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Jordana, when you get the word, like you said,
Speaker 1: you're kind of waiting for the word that people need
Speaker 1: to get into their shelters and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: When the attacks are launched, how much warning do you
Speaker 1: have do you? Like, they know when the rockets are launched,
Speaker 1: but what's the time span before they potentially would hit.
Speaker 7: So I'll try to explain it, you know, based on
Speaker 7: what happened in April. For example, there were drones, cruise missiles,
Speaker 7: and ballistic missiles that were fired, and the drones take
Speaker 7: several hours directly from Iran to reach Israel. The cruise
Speaker 7: and ballistic missiles are quicker, some are a couple hours,
Speaker 7: some are something like fifteen twenty minutes, so you know,
Speaker 7: essentially you know at the first sign that something has
Speaker 7: been launched, which in April were some of the drones,
Speaker 7: everyone went into kind of emergency mode and then we're
Speaker 7: able to you know, hunker down. And we were even
Speaker 7: told in April when the first hits would probably make
Speaker 7: it through some if some made it through Israeli airspace
Speaker 7: and were shot down in Israel because there were so many.
Speaker 7: They told us an estimated time, which they were quite accurate.
Speaker 7: It was somewhere between one and two am, right, and
Speaker 7: in Jerusalem. We thought, you know, Jerusalem wouldn't be a target,
Speaker 7: but then some of the drone, some of the missiles
Speaker 7: were shot down over Jerusalem and that sent the sirens going.
Speaker 7: So we were I mean I was up anyway, but
Speaker 7: I took my kids to you know, the safest spot
Speaker 7: in our house for those for those humanettes, do not.
Speaker 1: Envy the position you guys are in right now. So also.
Speaker 7: The rockets are unnerving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the rockets aren't only headed to Israel. We
Speaker 1: got word that some US soldiers were hurt yesterday in
Speaker 1: a rocket attack in Iraq. How are they.
Speaker 7: Doing well, We're waiting to hear from the Pentagon more details,
Speaker 7: but it appears a handful of servicemen or injured. The
Speaker 7: most likely culprit are pro Iranian militias who attacked at
Speaker 7: the beginning of this war back in October. We saw
Speaker 7: Aron use some of those militias to attack us. Please
Speaker 7: make headlines because everyone was trying to get their heads
Speaker 7: around what you know, around what exactly happened October seventh.
Speaker 7: But you know, they were waving essentially to hear more details.
Speaker 7: And obviously it was a provocative move by Iran. They
Speaker 7: see that the United States is boosting and moving their
Speaker 7: defenses in the Middle East to help Israel, you know,
Speaker 7: defend itself against this attack, and you know, it appears
Speaker 7: that's probably part of the motive for attacking US assets.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, some tense times ahead, and I hope I
Speaker 1: know cliche to say, be safe, but I hope that
Speaker 1: you are. And we'll talk to you again soon, Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, Jordana.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, Tuck soon, thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man has

Speaker 1: let's say good morning to ABC's Annez de la Catera
Speaker 1: in Paris. Good morning, Sure, something very unusual happened yesterday
Speaker 1: and women's gymnastic, and as you told us about it
Speaker 1: right as it was happening. But Team USA didn't win
Speaker 1: any medals on the balance people.
Speaker 11: That's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bit of a bubber. But we've also
Speaker 3: you know, a good reminder that they are you know,
Speaker 3: they're only human and you can't win them all. And
Speaker 3: they did do an amazing job regardless overall in these Olympics.
Speaker 3: So this was the last day of artistic gymnastics, and
Speaker 3: we did see them competing in the beam final and
Speaker 3: the floor final. In the beam it was Toumy Lee
Speaker 3: Anthimone Bils. They both fell off the beam, so they
Speaker 3: didn't make the podium there, and then in the floor
Speaker 3: final they still did very well. They got so someone
Speaker 3: got the silver and Jordan Childs got the bronx and
Speaker 3: two medals there for Team USA, but it was the
Speaker 3: Brazilian superstar war buck On Drage who got the gold.
Speaker 3: I think what worked against the Moon and that one
Speaker 3: was the neutral deductions out of bounds twice with both
Speaker 3: her feet, and typically that doesn't really work against her
Speaker 3: because her routines are so complicated, but in this case,
Speaker 3: the Brazilian just had an incredible routine and so she
Speaker 3: did get the gold. There's a really nice moment though
Speaker 3: at the end where all three of them got on
Speaker 3: the podium and you had Simone and Jordan both kind
Speaker 3: of bowing down to Andraj as she was celebrating her gold,
Speaker 3: and it was a beautiful moment of camaraderie.
Speaker 1: Happy to see Andrej win though, because man, like you're
Speaker 1: rooting for her. You know, she did such a great
Speaker 1: job at the Olympics. But Simone is such a powerhouse
Speaker 1: that you know, she just kind of all ships rise
Speaker 1: when you're with Simone. So it was fun to see
Speaker 1: Andreja get the gold in that, even though it wasn't
Speaker 1: for Team USA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's so inspiring. I mean, her whole backstory
Speaker 3: of you know, I was reading that she grew up
Speaker 3: in the slums and that her brother would walk her
Speaker 3: two hours for her to go to the gym, and
Speaker 3: she's a very I mean, all three of them have
Speaker 3: very inspiring personal stories. But it is cool to see Andraje,
Speaker 3: you know, be rewarded. She's had such a good run.
Speaker 3: She's just seventeen at her personal so she's got you know,
Speaker 3: we'll be seeing a lot.
Speaker 1: More of her well, yeah, and Simone had said when
Speaker 1: she was done, she was like, this was great. I
Speaker 1: loved it. She said, I don't know about twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 1: but I am getting old because Simone's is she twenty
Speaker 1: seven now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's on the older side for a gynes. It
Speaker 3: was that she had kid an earlier pressed days ago
Speaker 3: where she did say that, you know, she did say
Speaker 3: that she's getting old, that you know, she might be
Speaker 3: nearing me into her career, but that because the next
Speaker 3: games are going to be in La, you know, she
Speaker 3: she was indicating that she yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was watching diving yesterday. China just dominates in diving.
Speaker 1: They're amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're amazing. And China's been doing very well these Olympics. Also,
Speaker 3: I will say we are now tied her first place
Speaker 3: with the in terms of the gold medal tally with China,
Speaker 3: so they had been leading pretty much the whole time.
Speaker 3: We did tie them on Sunday and they won another
Speaker 3: couple of medals, so they pulled up ahead. But we
Speaker 3: did just win another gold this morning in surfing and
Speaker 3: that tied us back with China. So we are now
Speaker 3: each both China and the US have twenty one gold medals.
Speaker 3: We are still leading in the total medal count with
Speaker 3: seventy nine gold medals so far. The surfing one was
Speaker 3: cool to see. They've had they've been having weather issues
Speaker 3: out in Ta TV, so that's where the surfing competitions
Speaker 3: are being held. And we've talked a lot about weather
Speaker 3: here in Paris and the rain during the opening ceremony,
Speaker 3: the rain that's affecting water quality of the Sen River.
Speaker 3: But they've been having weather issues out there too, and
Speaker 3: so these surfing competitions have been continuously delayed. But they
Speaker 3: did go ahead finally this morning and we did have
Speaker 3: Tmusay winning gold, so very exciting.
Speaker 1: And that was the women's surfing right.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yes, that's right in the shipboard.
Speaker 1: She's from San Clementi, which is in our neck of
Speaker 1: the woods. So that's fun and I think Tusa still
Speaker 1: has a lot of chances to win gold because we
Speaker 1: were hitting the track. Is the two hundred meter final?
Speaker 1: I can't say two hundred meter because the two hundred
Speaker 1: meter final today for women, I know they did the
Speaker 1: heats yesterday.
Speaker 3: Refer for they will have the two hundred meter final
Speaker 3: for men. That's going to be tomorrow and today will
Speaker 3: be for women, so we are hoping for, you know,
Speaker 3: a medal. Mayn with Gabby Thomas, I think is the
Speaker 3: probably a best bet for a medal. You do have
Speaker 3: you know, another runner for Team USA there, so we'll see.
Speaker 3: But but yeah, that's the women. The men's it's going
Speaker 3: to be tomorrow. No Lyles competing in that you favorite
Speaker 3: to medal in that competition. You know, he did incredibly
Speaker 3: well over the weekend. He said that the two hundred
Speaker 3: meter is his race. That is what he loves to do.
Speaker 3: He prefers, you know, doing that one, so high hopes
Speaker 3: for him. And then yeah, more track and field later
Speaker 3: this week. Today, we've also got some basketball to keep
Speaker 3: an eye on, so the US against Brazil and quarterfinals.
Speaker 3: Team USA of course favored to win in basketball as well.
Speaker 1: Yes they are. We love our Team USA. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. And as where are you getting to go
Speaker 1: see anything today?

Speaker 3: sneak away early in the mornings or late at night,

Speaker 11: course he's the former astronaut, is very popular in his
Speaker 11: home state of Arizona, another battleground state. Of course, if
Speaker 11: she picks him, you're going to have a Senate race
Speaker 11: on your hands come twenty twenty six, so that might
Speaker 11: not be the best option for her. And then you
Speaker 11: have Governor Tim Wallas of Minnesota, who a lot of
Speaker 11: Democrats really like his rhetorical style. It's kind of Midwestern charm.
Speaker 11: He's very popular with rural voters. So, you know, a
Speaker 11: lot of these candidates have different things to offer her,
Speaker 11: and I think at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 11: going to be who does she think can help her
Speaker 11: win and who does she vibes with who's going.
Speaker 1: To help her govern Doesn't it make sense that it
Speaker 1: would be Shapiro. I mean, they're doing the first rally
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia.
Speaker 11: Well, you know, I wouldn't argue with that, but her
Speaker 11: campaign has said, don't read into that. We picked that
Speaker 11: site to do the first rally for various reasons that
Speaker 11: actually has nothing to do with the candidate. She was
Speaker 11: still deciding. Yesterday, we were told by a source close
Speaker 11: to the campaign that she actually had not made her decision,
Speaker 11: and she had met with these three top contenders on Sunday.
Speaker 11: So you know, we're being told not to read into it.
Speaker 11: But you know, I wouldn't argue that. He's certainly not
Speaker 11: an I mean, he's certainly an attractive candidate for her
Speaker 11: because of his popularity with moderate voters and those moderate
Speaker 11: conservatives in a swing state like Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Well, and I have a little breaking news for you.
Speaker 1: We don't know who it is yet, but now we're
Speaker 1: hearing that she has actually made the decision, because last
Speaker 1: even up to last night, they were saying she hadn't
Speaker 1: made the decision. But we're just getting it's crossing on
Speaker 1: the wires that she has decided on her running mate
Speaker 1: and will announce it in the next few hours, so
Speaker 1: we will find out and then that happens. You mentioned
Speaker 1: there's a rally in Philadelphia and then they hit they
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. Where are they going?
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right. They're going to be going to seven
Speaker 11: different states in five days. So you know, she's going
Speaker 11: to be going to these states. Wisconsin, I believe is
Speaker 11: one of them, Pennsylvania. What's interesting is that jd Vance,
Speaker 11: who is Trump's VP pick, is going to be almost
Speaker 11: you know, you hate to use the word trolling them,
Speaker 11: but he announced in his own speaking schedule in any
Speaker 11: of these same states. So I think it's going to
Speaker 11: be you know, very very interesting to watch her go through.
Speaker 11: You know, I'm looking at some of these other states
Speaker 11: where she's going to be going through Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona,
Speaker 11: making stops in North Carolina and Nevada. I mean, these
Speaker 11: are all states that you know, the Democrats have to win.
Speaker 11: This is this is the state. These are the states
Speaker 11: that matter. There's no you know, misunderstanding. California is always
Speaker 11: going to vote for Kamala Harris. But the question is
Speaker 11: can she win a state like Pennsylvania or Georgia or Arizona.
Speaker 11: So I think her VP pick will factor into that.
Speaker 11: Because her number one job here is to try to win.
Speaker 11: They are very focused on that. It's also about who
Speaker 11: she can govern with, but it's really about who she
Speaker 11: can win with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and of those who aren't picked an, I know
Speaker 1: it's super early, but are some of the others who
Speaker 1: are potential contenders. Would they be considered for cabinet positions
Speaker 1: if she won?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think absolutely. I mean, we're in an unprecedented
Speaker 11: campaign season here where they actually haven't had much time
Speaker 11: to do any background research on any of these people.
Speaker 8: You know, a lot of them.
Speaker 11: Aren't very well known nationwide. You know what skeletons do
Speaker 11: they have in their closet? That's going to be a
Speaker 11: factor in a lot of these decisions about who might
Speaker 11: be you know, picked to run cabinet level positions. The
Speaker 11: Democrats don't seem to struggle as much as the Republicans
Speaker 11: with having people, you know, willing to step up to
Speaker 11: do those kinds of jobs of you know, energy secretary
Speaker 11: and secretary of State. We do have on the Trump
Speaker 11: side a lot of people who had governed with the
Speaker 11: former president Trump who said that they are not willing
Speaker 11: to do it again. So they're going to have to
Speaker 11: figure out. You know, there's a lot of positions you
Speaker 11: have to fill if you're elected to government. They're going
Speaker 11: to have to figure that out. I've spoken with government
Speaker 11: experts on this who, interestingly enough, say, you know, both
Speaker 11: candidates are behind and figuring out how they will actually
Speaker 11: staff the government and run the country because you only
Speaker 11: have a few short months between the election and taking over.
Speaker 11: So that's something that they've got to consider.
Speaker 1: Yes, but we are putting the cart before the pony.
Speaker 1: We'll just wait and see who the VP pick is.
Speaker 1: That's the big, the big reveal for today, and then
Speaker 1: we'll watch as they hit the can pagntrout see what
Speaker 1: they have to say and how they are received.
Speaker 11: That's right, absolutely, Thank.
Speaker 1: You so much and appreciate your time. As always, we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you again soon.
Speaker 11: Thank you, by bye.
Speaker 1: All right bye, Let's get back to some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: The LAPD has released images showing three people possibly involved
Speaker 1: in the shooting death of actor Johnny Wact in downtown
Speaker 1: La Wector's friend and fellow actor Michael Parker has taken
Speaker 1: Instagram to push for swift justice.
Speaker 3: My faith calls on me to forgive, but that does
Speaker 3: not mean that you escape the consequences of your actions
Speaker 3: here on earth.
Speaker 5: But in order for them.
Speaker 3: To pay for their crimes, they have to be captured.
Speaker 1: The police image is released over the weekend show one
Speaker 1: of the three people with the two tattoos on their face.
Speaker 1: The three people were seen in what is believed to
Speaker 1: be a stolen black four door Infinity Q five with
Speaker 1: a tan interior. A homeowner in Laguna Beach has been
Speaker 1: ordered to stop harassing people who are visiting Victoria Beach.
Speaker 10: The California Coastal Commission warned the woman to clear out
Speaker 10: the rope she used to section off portions of the
Speaker 10: beach she claims is their property. This woman says the
Speaker 10: same woman told her months ago not to lay out
Speaker 10: in front of her home.
Speaker 3: He set up on the sand, nowhere near any property,
Speaker 3: and a lady came out telling us that we needed
Speaker 3: to pick up and move our things because we were
Speaker 3: blocking her property in the entrance.
Speaker 10: The woman was seen in a viral TikTok video last
Speaker 10: month yelling and cursing at visitors telling them to get
Speaker 10: off her property. The commission says she has until next
Speaker 10: month to clear the area or she'll be fined more
Speaker 10: than eleven thousand dollars a day.
Speaker 1: Chris Adler KFI News, Thank you, Chris. So. Olympics continues
Speaker 1: today and I haven't watched last night's competition yet. We
Speaker 1: know that Simone Biles and Jordan Childs both metaled on
Speaker 1: the floor. They got silver and bronze. I love that
Speaker 1: Biles and Childs going together. If you miss that and
Speaker 1: you still want more gymnastics, this is very cool. There
Speaker 1: is a tour coming to southern California called Gold Over
Speaker 1: America Tour, and it's going to feature our little goat,
Speaker 1: Simone Biles and Jordan Childs is also going to be
Speaker 1: part of it. Jade Carey, who medaled and was part
Speaker 1: of the metal gold medal winning US women's gymnastics team.
Speaker 1: She also happens to be from Oregon State University, which

Speaker 1: But they're all going to be at this tour. It
Speaker 1: launches in San Diego in Septembers. It September, where did

Speaker 1: So if you're looking for gymnastics, the Gold Over America
Speaker 1: Tour coming to Southern California, I'm super excited. I gotta
Speaker 1: go get tickets. Vice President Kamala Harris has made her choice.
Speaker 1: She's planning to announce her pick for her running mate
Speaker 1: in the next few hours. Harris and her VEEP pick
Speaker 1: will hold a rally in Pennsylvania this afternoon. Her campaign
Speaker 1: is saying just because there's a rally in Pennsylvania doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is her choice. He
Speaker 1: is one of the top contenders, along with Minnesota Governor
Speaker 1: Tim Walls. An LA City Council committee will consider an
Speaker 1: allocation of another four hundred million dollars to settle some
Speaker 1: legal claims and finalize completion details for LAX's people mover project.
Speaker 1: If the city approves the money, the total cost of
Speaker 1: the delayed project will increase to more than three point
Speaker 1: three billion dollars. It's now supposed to be completed late
Speaker 1: next year and be ready to start moving people in
Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty six. People who live in the
Speaker 1: hills near the Hollywood sign say there are just too
Speaker 1: many visitors. Residents say people double park and stand in
Speaker 1: the roadway to take selfies with the sign in the background. Yep,
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of that. And one resident says the roads
Speaker 1: just can't accommodate so many cars. They're calling for a
Speaker 1: limit on how many people can come up the hill
Speaker 1: when we're just minutes away from handle. On the news
Speaker 1: this morning, metro buses are soon going to automatically be
Speaker 1: ticketing cars that get in their way. They're going to
Speaker 1: tell you about that right now. Let's say good morning
Speaker 1: to the host of How to Money on KFI. It's
Speaker 1: Joel Larsgard. Joel, let's talk stock market.
Speaker 9: Everybody's talking stock market.
Speaker 1: Aren't they eat well? You know when it drops over
Speaker 1: what it was? It down over eleven hundred points or
Speaker 1: just under eleven hundred points. That's a lot.
Speaker 9: Yeah, three percent drop them one day. And it's just
Speaker 9: so interesting to see the way the news media and
Speaker 9: a lot of individuals too are reacting to something that, really,
Speaker 9: in the grand scheme of things in stock market history,
Speaker 9: is a blip and almost insignificant, i'd say, and so that, yeah,
Speaker 9: but you're still seeing like highlighted terms like bloodbath and
Speaker 9: you just I think as partly the twenty four hour
Speaker 9: news cycle, we have to fill it with something, and
Speaker 9: so hey, if the market is acting up just a
Speaker 9: little bit, then let's highlight this and make it seem
Speaker 9: as dramatic as it can possibly be.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, Joel, I got to interrupt you just a second,
Speaker 1: because Vice President Harris has just picked Minnesota Governor Tim
Speaker 1: Walls to be her running mate. That's according to CNN.
Speaker 1: We'll bring you more on that. So sorry to interrupt you,
Speaker 1: but wanted to let you know. And again, k if
Speaker 1: I'll be all over this, but apparently Minnesota Governor Tim
Speaker 1: Walls is her pick.
Speaker 9: Okay, Okay, let's keep talking stocks then real.
Speaker 1: Yes, let's get back to stocks. Didn't mean to interrupt you, No,
Speaker 1: that's totally fine.
Speaker 9: That's really important news Okay, so just on this. When
Speaker 9: you're someone who's just it's slowly but surely putting money
Speaker 9: in your four O one K or your roth ira,
Speaker 9: I think sometimes these headlines they maybe hit you in
Speaker 9: a way and you're like, am I supposed to do
Speaker 9: something about this? Is this massive drop? Is this bloodbath?
Speaker 9: Is this crater during my potential retirement? And that's what's
Speaker 9: disconcerting to me about a lot of these headlines in
Speaker 9: the way people are treating. Ultimately, what is a non
Speaker 9: dramatic thing is it's going to cause some people at
Speaker 9: least to tinker or to sell off some of their
Speaker 9: investments and go into cash, and then they don't know
Speaker 9: when to go back into investments. And ultimately the thing
Speaker 9: is stay the course, especially for long term investors, this
Speaker 9: is essentially insignificant in the grand scheme of things for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know how I always use myself as
Speaker 1: a cautionary tale because I've been really bad. Yes, in
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight or was it two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight, it must have been, Yeah, I pulled my
Speaker 1: money out. I freaked out, and.
Speaker 9: I remember having a conversation with a friend and he
Speaker 9: was like, I'm thinking about it, and I was like,
Speaker 9: don't do it like you're doing it the worst possible time.
Speaker 9: And that's the exact kind of behavior amy that a
Speaker 9: lot of people exhibit. They freak out and they and
Speaker 9: they're worried about, oh, could this get worse? And the
Speaker 9: thing is, think about think about what would have happened
Speaker 9: with those funds if you'd left them invested. Not to
Speaker 9: rub it in obviously, but like the truth is, like
Speaker 9: you're still working, you're still contributing, you're buying all along
Speaker 9: the way, and the market eventually recovers even and that
Speaker 9: was a much more significant downturn what we experienced yesterday,
Speaker 9: just to put it in context, where the stock market
Speaker 9: is still up roughly ten percent over just in this
Speaker 9: year alone, in twenty twenty four alone, we're only down
Speaker 9: eight percent from all time highs. And the truth is,
Speaker 9: when you look at statistics as well, two thirds of
Speaker 9: years the stock market experiences a minimum ten percent decline.
Speaker 9: So I think people got used to, oh, my retirement account,
Speaker 9: my investment accounts, Well that's basically like a high old
Speaker 9: savings account. But on steroids, there's like no fluctuation, there's
Speaker 9: there's very little risk. And the truth is if you
Speaker 9: want the higher reward, you have to deal with the
Speaker 9: higher risk. And it's the emotional behavioral element that can
Speaker 9: be hard to tame, but that's what we need to
Speaker 9: do if we want to be good investors over time,
Speaker 9: so we stay the course no matter what. And especially
Speaker 9: when it's a day like yesterday, if that caused you
Speaker 9: to freak out or think about making changes, the one
Speaker 9: thing you're going to want to consider is are my
Speaker 9: investments too risky? Am I over allocated to stocks? And
Speaker 9: it's not a knee jerk thing that you want to
Speaker 9: do today, but you do want to at least assess
Speaker 9: and say, if I was considering making changes, if I
Speaker 9: was freaking out, what would my allocation need to be
Speaker 9: so that I'm not freaking out in future downturns.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a good time to just talk to
Speaker 1: your financial advisor, take a deep breath, and wait and
Speaker 1: see what happens. Because I know, like you said, bloodbath,
Speaker 1: people were screaming recession and that might be coming, but
Speaker 1: we just don't know yet.
Speaker 9: And that's exactly right. I mean, some people are saying
Speaker 9: this is indicative of something worse coming down the pike.
Speaker 9: That might be the case, I don't have a crystal ball.
Speaker 9: I can't predict the future. I don't know. But even
Speaker 9: if it is, the truth is what has happened in
Speaker 9: the market over the last couple of years has been
Speaker 9: pretty incredible, pretty insane, pretty otherworldly. And so if we
Speaker 9: had a pullback or a correct and went into correction territory,
Speaker 9: that's and especially for young investors, that's the thing is,
Speaker 9: let's get into the mentality of let's buy stocks when
Speaker 9: they're on sale. A lot of people are like, oh,
Speaker 9: look at my portfolio balance going down, and I get
Speaker 9: if you're reaching retirement age, that means again you need
Speaker 9: to reassess your risk tolerance and what you're invested in.
Speaker 9: But especially for those younger investors, the millennials and the
Speaker 9: gen z ers out there, it's like, have the mentality
Speaker 9: that now, oh the market's going down, let me continue
Speaker 9: to buy and buy on sale, and I'm just getting
Speaker 9: a better bank form my buck.
Speaker 1: It's the long game, baby, Yeah, no doubt. Okay, speaking
Speaker 1: of buying things, we talked a few weeks ago about
Speaker 1: something that I bought online. And remember I was telling
Speaker 1: you guys that I got a Dodger's jacket and I
Speaker 1: was looking for it. It looked like it was on sale.
Speaker 1: I ordered it and when it came five weeks later,
Speaker 1: it was not very good quality. It didn't fit, and
Speaker 1: so I wanted to return it. And then and I said, okay,
Speaker 1: mail it back to us. And it was like over
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars to fedeics back to Pakistan. And I
Speaker 1: was like, well, I guess I'm just out that money.
Speaker 1: And Joel suggested to contact your credit card company and
Speaker 1: challenge the charge. And so I actually followed your advice, Joel,
Speaker 1: and wanted to give you an update. Okay, we did
Speaker 1: an interview over the phone. I told a very nice
Speaker 1: and very helpful person what happened. So you know, when
Speaker 1: they say customer, no service, this was actually customer service,
Speaker 1: which was a nice which was a nice change and
Speaker 1: super easy to do. You just call them, you say
Speaker 1: i've got a charge to dispute. Here's what happened, and
Speaker 1: tell them the story and they take it down. They
Speaker 1: gather the information and ask your questions and stuff. She said, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll review it and let you know I got the
Speaker 1: money back.
Speaker 3: Yay.
Speaker 9: See, this is one of those things that is that's
Speaker 9: a big win. That's sticking up for yourself. It took
Speaker 9: you much how much time out of your life in
Speaker 9: order to call that money back?
Speaker 1: Oh for the ACTU, we'll call it was about ten minutes,
Speaker 1: the back and forth with them, with the emails and
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. I mean, it was a couple hours,
Speaker 1: but you know what, it was one hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it was worth it.
Speaker 9: I love it. I love that you did that. And
Speaker 9: there was like another article recently about just some new
Speaker 9: statistics coming out about how people are actually using that
Speaker 9: that chargeback status more and more. That's one of the
Speaker 9: best benefits of credit cards. Realizing that, hey, if I
Speaker 9: buy something in the retailer or the company I'm doing
Speaker 9: business with doesn't follow through, I have rights and you
Speaker 9: don't necessarily have the same right. You definitely don't have
Speaker 9: the same rights when you pay with cash. If you're
Speaker 9: paying with a debit card, you're trying to call your
Speaker 9: own money back versus hey, this is money that hasn't
Speaker 9: left my account yet.
Speaker 1: Yep. So for more great financial advice like what Joel
Speaker 1: gave me and you know, got me some money back,
Speaker 1: which I so appreciate. You can find out more on
Speaker 1: how to Money Sundays noon to two right here on KFI.
Speaker 1: You can also follow Joel at how to Money. Joel.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Joel Larsgard. Appreciate your information and your tips
Speaker 1: and tricks as always.
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you next week. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: well we're about done. But again, Vice President Harris has
Speaker 1: formally picked maybe hasn't made the formal announcement yet, but
Speaker 1: she has picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walls to be her
Speaker 1: running mate in the twenty twenty four presidential election. They're
