00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>but there's lots of other things going along going on

31
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this morning. The Boeing strike has ended. After more than

32
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>seven weeks. About thirty three thousand workers with the International

33
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Association of Machinist Union voted to accept Boeing's latest offer.

<v Speaker 1>nuclear arms treaties, the US will notify Russia about the

43
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>test before it happens. Let's get started with some of

44
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

45
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Vice President Harris and former President Trump have made their

46
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>final pitches to voters in some key states, and now

47
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 1>it is up to the voters. Tens of millions have

48
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 1>already cast ballots, but many are voting on election Day today.

49
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Harris spent her day yesterday in Pennsylvania, ending the night

50

52
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to watch election results from Florida. Harris is expected to

53
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have an election night event at Howard University that's where

54
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.599

56
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 4>For more than twelve years, prosecutors across the country have

57
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 4>been keeping an eye on how elections are held for

58
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 4>months leading up to an election that Feds meet with

59
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 4>local officials to work out how to best handle discrimination

60
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 4>and intimidation at the polls, threats of violence directed at

61
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 4>election officials and workers, and election fraud. Prosecutors in Southern

62
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 4>California will oversee actions in seven counties including La Orange,

63
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 4>San Bernardino, and Riverside, and prosecutors also work with the

64
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>FBI and say if you're involved with any kind of

65
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 4>election related violence or intimidation, called nine to one one

66

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 6>We are closely tracking a legal challenge that some states

84
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 6>brought against the new regulation issued by the Biden Harris administration.

85
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.480

<v Speaker 2>k FI News.

91
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 1>It's five seven on your Tuesday morning election wake up call.

92
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning to ABC's Mike Debuski. So, Mike,

93
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 1>people aren't only talking about the election in the hallways

94
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and at home, they're talking about it on the most

95
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 1>powerful platform today online and someone's watching them. So what

96
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>are they saying?

97
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right.

98
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 7>So there's this new survey out from hoots Suite, which

99
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 7>is this company that tracks the sentiments that social media

100
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 7>users are feeling online and the way they do this,

101
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 7>they means by tracking certain keywords online that determine which

102
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 7>conversations are being had on Facebook, on TikTok, on x

103
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 7>and whether they're positive or negative for either candidate. The

104
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 7>findings here are pretty interesting. A lot more accounts online

105
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 7>in general are talking about Donald Trump as opposed to

106
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 7>Kamala Harris, about fifty percent more. In fact, that's three

107
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 7>posts for Donald Trump for every two mentioning Kamala Harris.

108
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 7>They break things out by gender, they break things out

109
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 7>by age, But the big takeaway from the survey amy

110
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 7>is that both candidates, when you add positive sentiment to

111
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 7>negative center, are discussed overwhelmingly negatively online.

112
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all. I mean, I

113
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>really think leading up to the selection, these were two

114
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>people that nobody wanted to run. Maybe not no better,

115
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, But that was the sentiment.

116
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 7>I mean certainly that is backed up at least by

117
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 7>online data. And what's worth mentioning here is that this survey,

118
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.319
<v Speaker 7>of course, does not translate into people actually going out

119
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 7>and casting a vote or casting a ballot, whether they

120
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 7>will or won't do that. It's purely a sentiment a

121
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 7>vib's based assessment here, if you will. But it is

122
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 7>interesting to kind of look into some of the cross

123
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 7>tabs here. Donald Trump enjoys more positive sentiment online in

124
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 7>all age groups except for one that's those sixty five

125
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 7>and older, where Kamala Harris is discussed more positively online

126
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 7>than Donald Trump is so also a gender breakout, which

127
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 7>is kind of interesting. Net sentiment is overwhelmingly negative for

128
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 7>both candidates among men and women. Again, that's something that

129
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 7>we should have expected given the sort of early or

130
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 7>overwhelmingly negative sentiment number. Harris though, is discussed more negatively

131
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 7>online than Trump among men specifically, whereas it's about even

132
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 7>for women.

133
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, So, is there anything that's like does it break

134
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>down like what kinds of things are hitting home? You know,

135
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 1>like Trump really is going in all in on immigration

136
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and the economy. Are those things showing up as missing

137
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 1>the mark or hitting the mark for him? Or do

138
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>they track that?

139
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 7>So they didn't look at issues specifically, but they did

140
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 7>look at endorsements, which I thought was very interesting. Every

141
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 7>election cycle we kind of ask ourselves the question, you know,

142
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 7>does it really matter who Beyonce throws her support behind? Well,

143
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 7>if you track online sentiment, it's certainly you know, creates

144
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 7>a lot of discussion online. So today Elon Musk endorsed

145
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 7>Donald Trump. That was on July thirteenth this past summer

146
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 7>generated nearly two hundred and thirty thousand results online that

147
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 7>they posts mentioning the endorsement of, you know, Donald Trump

148
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 7>by Elon Musk. When Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, it

149
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 7>generated one hundred and seventy six thousand reactions online, So

150
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 7>a smaller number, but both pretty large numbers online when

151
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 7>you consider that this is just tracking one day across

152
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 7>multiple social media platforms. What's also interesting here amy that

153
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, we've talked about in the past, the Brat

154
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.480
<v Speaker 7>summer memes that Kamala Harris you know, leaned into the

155
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 7>Harris campaign leaned into over the summer Brat summer. Of course,

156
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.199
<v Speaker 7>a reference to the Bratt album from from Charlie XCX

157
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 7>that gout somewhw popular this past summer. You know, people

158
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 7>online thought, you know, it is kind of funny, and

159
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 7>they remixed it with certain Kamala Harris you know, speeches,

160
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 7>and it became this sort of online movement that was

161
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 7>a genuine expression of support for the Vice president. You know,

162
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 7>we've talked two hundred and thirty thousand reactions for Elon

163
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 7>Musk endorsing Donald Trump, one hundred and seventy six for

164
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 7>Taylor Swift and Kamala Harris. Only sixty thousand results for

165
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 7>Kamala Harris and the word Bratt again a reference to

166
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 7>that album from Charlie xc Strali XCX also through her

167
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 7>support behind Kamala Harris, but much as smaller number.

168
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.679
<v Speaker 3>There than I think I was expecting. Maybe it's just

169
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 3>speaking to the sort of viral power of figures like

170
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Elon Musk and Kamala Harris or and Taylor Swift, I

171
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 3>should say.

172
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 1>And how well known that artist is too, because I

173
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 1>mean that artist would be known to younger voters, but

174
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 1>not I mean, like I don't know who that is really.

175
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it might have part of it as well. Yeah,

176
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 7>And I mean you kind of go back to the

177
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 7>age question where you know, Donald Trump is, is you know,

178
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 7>enjoying somewhat positive sentiment or at least more positive sentiment

179
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 7>online among those younger age groups. You know, how does

180
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 7>that translate to Elon Musk. You know, I'm here in

181
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 7>Bucks County right now, a crucial swing district in a

182
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 7>swing state. Been talking to Trump supporters and several of

183
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 7>them mentioned the Elon Musk endorsement and how they saw

184
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 7>that as a as a net positive. They liked the

185
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 7>Elon Musk is in the fold here, and yeah, that's

186
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 7>absolutely resonating online as well. Of course, we can't forget

187
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 7>that Elon Musk also owns the X platform formerly Twitter,

188
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.000
<v Speaker 7>and that's a pretty big platform for political discussion as

189
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 7>we've seen play out over the last several months.

190
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and speaking of big platforms for political discussion, podcasts

191
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>have beencome a really big deal this selection cycle.

192
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 3>They really have.

193
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 7>Now, podcasts have been around forever, they've been around for

194
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 7>a really really long time, but this election cycle we

195
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 7>really saw both campaigns lean into the podcasting circuit, but

196
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 7>one more than the other. The Trump campaign sat for

197
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 7>multiple long form interviews with podcast hosts. Obviously, the Joe

198
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 7>Rogan podcast was the biggest of those, and that's the

199
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 7>podcast that can stretch two to three hours long. Don

200
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 7>Trump also sat with CEO Vaughn and Logan Paul, other

201
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 7>very prominent online influencers who host sort of long form

202
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 7>podcasts that ours campaign did much the same. They sat

203
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 7>for the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper. That's

204
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 7>a several hour long podcasts well sort of long form

205
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 7>format interview there. But we really didn't see them go

206
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 7>much bed beyond that. Instead, the Harris campaign focused on

207
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 7>these shorter form videos. Again, we talked about these sort

208
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 7>of brat summer memes. A lot of that you know,

209
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 7>energy was typified by TikTok videos and edits that were

210
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 7>posted on social media. The short form content for the Democrats.

211
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.559
<v Speaker 7>We're gonna have to see how that plays out in

212
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 7>real life when you know, voters, you know, head to

213
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 7>the polls today and the votes start being tallied through

214
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.679
<v Speaker 7>tonight and tomorrow morning. But you know, this is a

215
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 7>kind of interesting glimpse into that. The long form versus

216
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 7>the short form talk a lot about attention spans online

217
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 7>and what role that plays among younger, you know, voters

218
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 7>potentially versus long form podcasts, which are also popular among

219
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.799
<v Speaker 7>that cohort as well. So it's really hard to get

220
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 7>a grasp on it, but it's kind of interesting to track.

221
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and interesting. You mentioned the Joe Rogan podcast that

222
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.159
<v Speaker 1>he came out last night and endorsed Trump, which it'll

223
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>be interesting again to see does that mean anything, Do

224
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the celebrity endorsements mean anything, Does Joe Rogan mean anything?

225
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Or are people hopefully making up their own mind. We'll

226
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>see any any last minute things we can expect to

227
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>see online today as people are heading out to vote.

228
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 7>I mean, obviously people are keeping a close eye on

229
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 7>the potential for conspiracies to threat to spread. You know,

230
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 7>given the sort of high stakes nature of this election.

231
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 7>We saw, given that in twenty twenty, related to the

232
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.000
<v Speaker 7>COVID nineteen pandemic, there be a whole influx of conspiracy

233
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 7>theories flood onto the internet, you know, the longer it

234
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 7>took for the votes to be tallied. Then speaking to

235
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 7>kind of local elections officials here and they say that,

236
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 7>you know, in Pennsylvania they can't start counting mail in

237
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 7>ballots until the morning of about an hour ago is

238
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 7>when they started tallying those ballots that have come in.

239
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 7>They're in a much better position. They tell me that,

240
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 7>you know, they can count these ballots faster. They have

241
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 7>more modern machinery that is allowed to do this and

242
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 7>that hopefully will shrink the amount of time it takes

243
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:57.960
<v Speaker 7>for these votes to be counted and as such not

244
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 7>allow as much time for conspiracy to spread online. But

245
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 7>that's definitely something that you know, law enforcement and online

246
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 7>elections experts are are going to be playing a pretty

247
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 7>close attention to today and into tomorrow.

248
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Mike Tbuski in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I'm sure you

249
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>have a long day ahead and we will be talking

250
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.159
<v Speaker 1>to you again soon. Thanks so much for the information.

251
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>As always, of course, Dami, take care. All right, let's

252
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.919
<v Speaker 1>get back to some of the stories coming out of

253
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The winds have died down,

254
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>but they're expected to pick up again tomorrow, increasing fire

255
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 1>danger in the Southland. Red flag warnings will be in

256
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>effect from tomorrow morning until Thursday evening in La and

257
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Ventura Counties, along with high wind advisories for much of

258
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>southern California.

259
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 8>We're looking at critical fire weather conditions on Wednesday and

260
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 8>Thursday because those.

261
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 7>Are the days where we have the strongest wind and

262
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 7>the lowest humidity.

263
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>The National Weather Services Alex Tardi says the Santa Anas

264
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 1>could be the strongest we've seen this year, win gus

265
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 1>sixty to eighty miles per hour expected in the mountains,

266
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>with gus up to one hundred miles per hour possible.

267
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 1>A man's been arrested for what police are calling a

268
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>felony hit and run during a street takeover in Anaheim.

269
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Investigator say the man was driving a black dodged charger

270
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>seen on video, hitting several people at Orangewood Avenue and

271
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>State College Boulevard last week. Video shows the cars spinning

272
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 1>out and trapping two young men under it. Police say

273
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen year olds were taken at the hospital. The

274
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>driver ran away before police got there. He was arrested

275
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 1>three days later. The La County Board of Supervisors may

276
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 1>get active in pushing for Hollywood tax credits.

277
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 5>The proposal from Governor Newsom would more than double California's

278
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 5>tax credits for the film and TV industry to seven

279
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 5>hundred and fifty million dollars. The Board of Supervisors will

280
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 5>take up a motion tomorrow in support of that effort, and,

281
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.399
<v Speaker 5>if approved, would direct the county's lobbying arm to spring

282
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 5>into action, engaging all eighty eight cities. Hollywood has been

283
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.679
<v Speaker 5>hit by dwindling returns in the fallout from dual strikes

284
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 5>last year by writers and actors. Newsom has said making

285
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 5>the state more attractive through incentives would make it more

286
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 5>competitive with the states and countries luring away productions in

287
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:15.080

<v Speaker 1>Tributes for legendary music producer Quincy Jones, if flooded in Oprah,

289
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.960

290
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>by the better after meeting him, while Paul McCartney wrote,

291
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Quince's always had a twinkle in his eye and a

292
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 1>very positive, loving spirit. Doctor Dre said the reason he

293
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>decided to become a record producer was because of Quincy

294
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Jones and even Vice President Harris as she was honored

295
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 1>to call Jones a friend. Jones co produced We Are

296
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the World. He won twenty eight Grammy Awards during his

297
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>producing time of Ray, Charles, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder.

304
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 1>The mansion tax in LA has taken in hundreds of

305
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>millions of dollars, but it kind of missed projections. Measure

306
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 1>ULA went into effect about eighteen months ago. It adds

307
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a four percent fee on property sales over five point

308
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 1>one million dollars and five and a half percent on

309
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>sales over ten point three Six hundred and seventy properties

310
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>sold in the last eighteen months brought in four hundred

311
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and thirty nine million in tax revenues. Sounds like a lot,

312
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.679
<v Speaker 1>but initial projections were that the measure would take in

313
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>between six hundred million and a trillion dollars during its

314
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>first eighteen months. Time to dust off those skis and snowboards.

315
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Snowmaking crews have been busy for weeks, and the Mount

316
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Rose Ski Tahoe Resort is kicking off as sixtieth season

317
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. The resort has a fourteen to eighteen inch

318
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>basin areas and has cooler weather than some other mountain areas.

319
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.879
<v Speaker 1>At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Some

320
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 1>states are now allowing the Justice to apartments election are Actually,

321
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.359
<v Speaker 1>some states are not allowing the Justice departments election monitors

322
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:09.599
<v Speaker 1>into polling places. Bill's going to tell you why so, Starbucks.

323
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 1>If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if it is,

324
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you might want to try something new. I don't know

325
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 1>if you've noticed the new ads for Starbucks. I don't

326
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.680
<v Speaker 1>think I've ever seen ads for Starbucks, and now I'm

327
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>seeing them on TV a lot, and they're very basic.

328
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like a cup of coffee and tries to bring

329
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:32.039
<v Speaker 1>back that nostalgic feeling of chilling and just starting your

330
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.039
<v Speaker 1>morning in a nice relaxing way. I used to work

331
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in Starbucks.

332
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and it's called your third place when when you

333
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.759
<v Speaker 9>feel like that, So your home is your first place, yeh,

334
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 9>work is your second place, and then Starbucks is your

335
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 9>third place.

336
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think Starbucks has lost its third place over

337
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the last years. They just came up last week reporting

338
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a third straight quarter of slumping sales and less customers

339
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>customers coming into Starbucks. Remember when Starbucks was like the

340
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>place to hang out. You would go and you'd go

341
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in there and you'd see people just kind of camped

342
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>out or meeting friends or working on their computers. I

343
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 1>haven't noticed that as much, and I haven't been going

344
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>as much. I almost never go to Starbucks anymore. Well,

345
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.880
<v Speaker 1>their prices like doubled. Their prices have gone up. Yeah,

346
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty crazy.

347
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 9>When my wife's like, can you get me this, and

348
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 9>I'm like six bucks seven bucks, it's coffee, it's happening here.

349
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well they're making some changes. I've noticed this too.

350
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Remember they used to write your name on the cup,

351
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 1>and then it went automated, and they have the little

352
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>labels that they would put on the cup. They're going

353
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>back to writing your names on the cups, the personal touch.

354
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 10>Can I ask you something, cono, Yeah, do you purposely?

355
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.559
<v Speaker 10>Did you guys purposely write names wrong?

356
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Purposely?

357
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.599
<v Speaker 10>Yeah? But sometimes the spellings of basic names, I mean,

358
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 10>come on.

359
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying a that they spelled your name wrong

360
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:01.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot.

361
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 10>No, they always put an e on it. But whatever,

362
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.599
<v Speaker 10>I'll let that slide. But it just seems like basic names.

363
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 9>Well, sometimes we don't hear it, we didn't hear it correctly,

364
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 9>and then we ask you know, we asked Mike next

365
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 9>to me, Hey, did you hear their name? And no, okay,

366
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 9>let just put them down, just put some down. That

367
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 9>person was red hair, yes, and you can't.

368
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Put that on the cup. Person with red hair, you

369
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 1>can't put that on the cup.

370
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 11>No.

371
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't think they would like that. Oh

372
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's probably true, hey red Yeah, I mean I

373
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be offended by that, But that's Okay, So the

374
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 1>other thing that Starbucks is doing is it's also bringing

375
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 1>back self serve condiment stations. Apparently they took those out

376
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 1>when the pandemic hit, so they're letting you do that,

377
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and they're saying that that's going to speed things up,

378
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.200
<v Speaker 1>because that's the other thing. Every time I do go

379
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 1>into two Starbucks, the line is forever. I'm like for

380
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a cup of coffee, really, and I just I don't

381
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 1>want to wait for it. It's more than a couple

382
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>of coffee. Amy. Well, yeah, okay, So and then you

383
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 1>know the double Calf, triple Whip nothing with oat milk

384
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.599
<v Speaker 1>and all of that stuff. They've got those special tea

385
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 1>milks that aren't dairy. They used to charge for those.

386
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna stop charging for those, so you'll get those included.

387
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.319
<v Speaker 1>I think that's good. Charging an extra twenty bucks for

388
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 1>oat milk. Okay, maybe not twenty bucks, but I just

389
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 1>I think that might have been a little over the

390
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 1>pot top. But the new CEO is trying to bring

391
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.319
<v Speaker 1>things back down. They're also going to cut out promotions.

392
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:40.559
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to offer the discounts as much because

393
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.960
<v Speaker 1>they want to make it more of a premium we'll

394
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 1>see if it works. I don't see myself stepping up

395
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>my Starbucks anytime soon. My sister in law is a

396
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Starbucks junkie. She still goes like twice a day, runs

397
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.440
<v Speaker 1>down wild, takes a break from work and runs to Starbucks.

398
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>So she gets new Starbucks mugs every Christmas. She's any

399
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 1>person to shop for. But anyway, we'll see if it works.

400
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.160
<v Speaker 1>But they got to do something right three quarters in

401
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 1>a row, and plus they have I think they have

402
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 1>competition from Little Mom and Pops. The coffee is really

403
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>good and you kind of feel like it's more of

404
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a personal touch. I like that too. We shall see,

405
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.319
<v Speaker 1>we'll be watching. It's making me want a nice vanilla

406
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>latte though, or like Anna and I talked about a

407
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Chaiiti lat I love that. I do love their Chai

408
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Ti LTEs. Yes, all right, let's get back to some

409
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

410
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 1>hour newsroom. Races for the House and Senate are going

411
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 1>to determine which party holds the majority in Congress. Democrats

412
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 1>in California and New York are trying to win back

413
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>seats held by Republicans, who now control the House. Senate

414
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:46.039
<v Speaker 1>attention is focused on Montana and the so called Blue

415
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Wall states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where Republicans are

416
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to unseat Democrats. The Pentagon says the National Guard

417
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.279
<v Speaker 1>is being activated across eighteen states and Washington, d C.

418
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 1>To help with election day security. Pentagon Press Secretary Major

419
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.799
<v Speaker 1>General Pat Ryder says hundreds of National Guard troops are

420
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>on standby.

421
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 8>The National Guard has ongoing and long standing relationships with local, state,

422
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.559
<v Speaker 8>and federal agency partners and has assisted with national special

423
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 8>security events like Election Day and Inauguration Day for many years.

424
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Some troops will be helping state governments with cybersecurity. Others

425
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.559
<v Speaker 1>are ready to help police and first responders in case

426
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:27.039
<v Speaker 1>of emergency. The city of Detroit is also increasing security.

427
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Elections Director Daniel Baxter says they've stepped up security since

428
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, when Trump supporters gathered outside Detroit's Convention Center

429
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.559
<v Speaker 1>where election workers were counting absentee ballots. We now have

430
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>bulletproof glass on the front of our building. We have

431
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.279
<v Speaker 1>more cameras, we have a panic button, Baxter says. This year,

432
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.400
<v Speaker 1>police officers will be in and around the election building.

433
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>He says they'll also be on the roof California's announced

434
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>a lawsuit against nor Walk over the city's moratorium on

435
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>building homeless shelters and supportive housing. Attorney General Ruld Rob

436
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Bontis's cities have a responsibility to help address the state's

437
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.799
<v Speaker 1>housing and homeless problems. But you can't ignore a law

438
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't.

439
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Suit you, your plans, your ideas of what California should be.

440
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 1>You must follow the law, all laws, all the time.

441
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Norwalk officials have said the moratorium until next summer is

442
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.799
<v Speaker 1>necessary because homeless and supportive housing programs have been a

443
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:27.799
<v Speaker 1>financial strain on the city. The state filed a lawsuit

444
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 1>yesterday in La County Superior Court. A man from San

445
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Diego who molested a fourteen year old girl on a

446
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 1>cross country flight has been sentenced to two years in prison.

447
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Coffee pleaded guilty to giving the girl alcohol and

448

00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.559
<v Speaker 1>marine veteran choking a man on a subway train in

451
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 1>New York City has been shown to a jury in

452
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the Vets manslaughter trial. ABC's Lindsay Tuckman says Jordan Neely's

453
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>death by choke last year is controversial.

454
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:04.200
<v Speaker 12>And lawyers were both sides farred about whether or not

455
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 12>Daniel Penny, the man who was on trial, was acting

456
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.559
<v Speaker 12>in an over the top way or in a courageous way.

457
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutors say Pennies chokehold was justified because Neely was an

458
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>in unhinged threat to others. The defense argued in opening

459
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.720
<v Speaker 1>statements last week that the former marine stood up to

460
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 1>protect thy neighbor. Hundreds of Dodgers fans showed up to

461
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Raisin Canes in Alhambra to be served by G. K. Hernandez.

462
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:31.880
<v Speaker 1>It's unreal.

463
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.799
<v Speaker 12>Fans waited for hours for the big leaguer to show

464
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 12>up in the friar's cashier and drive up window. Hernandez

465
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 12>is the second Dodger to work at the location this year.

466
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.880
<v Speaker 12>Mookie Betts took a shift in April. I've seen some

467
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:45.240
<v Speaker 12>of the footage and I know he had a lot

468
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.880
<v Speaker 12>of fun, so you know, I was really excited to

469
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 12>be here. The first fan to be served yesterday says

470
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 12>she arrived to the restaurant the night before. Another fan

471
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:55.359
<v Speaker 12>who was trying to give Hernandez a sketch she drew

472
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.039
<v Speaker 12>of his dogs drove up from oceanside in Alhambra Blake trolley.

473
00:24:59.079 --> 00:24:59.759
<v Speaker 3>K if I knews.

474
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.799
<v Speaker 1>I love it. Election Day, as I mentioned, is finally arrived.

475
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Polls open in person voting is available starting at seven

476
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>o'clock in California. It's gonna be open or polls will

477
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.839
<v Speaker 1>be open until eight tonight. About thirty percent of voters

478
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 1>in California have already cast ballots early, either in person

479
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 1>or by mail. Voters can drop off mail in ballots

480
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.519
<v Speaker 1>polling locations. When the polls close, workers are required by

481
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the Secretary of State's office to loudly announce the polls

482
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 1>are closed. I think that's so fun. They also have

483
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to when they open. They have to announce it loudly

484
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.400
<v Speaker 1>before people can start casting their ballots the polls are open.

485
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Tropical Storm Raphael has formed in the Caribbean. It's expected

486
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:43.039
<v Speaker 1>to become the eleventh hurricane of this season as it

487
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 1>makes its way toward southern US cities. The National Hurricane

488
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Center says the lower and Middle Florida Keys could experience

489
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.839
<v Speaker 1>tropical storm conditions beginning late tomorrow or tomorrow night. Three

491
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.599
<v Speaker 1>become a free agent after declining his ten million dollar

492
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>option with the Dodgers, But that might just mean that

493
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.839
<v Speaker 1>he is signing a new deal. At the Dodgers World

494
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Series Championship celebration on Friday, Kershaw called himself a Dodger

495

496
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:20.599
<v Speaker 1>news podcast Sensation, Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump for president.

497
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning now to ABC's Josh Margolin and Josh.

498
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>With election day finally here, law enforcement is kicking into

499
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>high gear. Election workers are looking over their shoulders.

500
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 11>Why well, happy election Day. He has been years, the

501
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 11>years of build up, and just as you talk about

502
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 11>the anxiety and the anxiousness that's out there, there have

503
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 11>been a lot of threats online. The FBI has now

504
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.400
<v Speaker 11>processed hundreds to thousands of threats. Most of them are garbage,

505
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 11>not credible, not serious. There are over one hundred investigations

506
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.720
<v Speaker 11>into threats that look like they could be more serious,

507
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.920
<v Speaker 11>threats against election locations, election infrastructure, poll workers. So what

508
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.440
<v Speaker 11>people can expect to see when they get up and

509
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.920
<v Speaker 11>go vote in person today is they will see law enforcement.

510
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.920
<v Speaker 11>They'll see precautions being taken. They might see more lines

511
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.680
<v Speaker 11>because there might be you know, uniform deputies or police

512
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 11>at locations monitoring, you know, just to make sure that

513
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.160
<v Speaker 11>people are safe and secure, that nobody wants to commit

514
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 11>violence gets into a location. Definitely, around locations where they're

515
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.519
<v Speaker 11>going to be counting ballots, there will be more precautions,

516
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:35.200
<v Speaker 11>potentially road closures. We know that there's bulletproof glass. We

517
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 11>know that the LA Sheriff is actually transporting ballots to

518
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:45.759
<v Speaker 11>be counted by secure Sheriff's helicopters. In some cases, people

519
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.480
<v Speaker 11>should know that these things are real, but that law

520
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 11>enforcement is taking it seriously and people should go vote.

521
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 11>It's going to be safe and people should be confident.

522
00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Josh, you mentioned that hundreds or even thousands of

523
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.839
<v Speaker 1>threats have been made. Are people making these threats being

524
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 1>caught or are they just like you said, a lot

525
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of them are garbage so they just kind of dismiss it.

526
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>But are they actually making arrests of people that are

527
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 1>making threats?

528
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 11>Well, they have made arrest in their investigations. We know

529
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 11>that over a week ago there were there was an

530
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 11>actual act of violence where incendiary devices, fire bombs, were

531
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.640
<v Speaker 11>put into drop boxes in the northwestern Washington State and

532
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:31.960
<v Speaker 11>an Oregon, and those investigations are ongoing. We are understand

533
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.319
<v Speaker 11>that law enforcement has some good leads. A lot of

534
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:38.960
<v Speaker 11>times these online threats cannot be traced, but they do

535
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:41.680
<v Speaker 11>try to trace them, and so we have seen some

536
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:46.279
<v Speaker 11>arrest and there is deterrence. The problem for law enforcement is,

537
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:50.279
<v Speaker 11>like with anything else we talk about, there's so much

538
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 11>stuff out there and it's almost impossible to get every

539
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.119
<v Speaker 11>single one. In the case of what's going on with

540
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 11>our election. Also, some of these things are being pushed

541
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:04.799
<v Speaker 11>out by Russian, Iranian and Chinese intelligence agencies just designed

542
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 11>to drive us crazy, right, so they could they could

543
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 11>actually track these people, but what are they going to do?

544
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.039
<v Speaker 11>Go send the FBI into Beijing to arrest some guy

545
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.920
<v Speaker 11>at a computer terminal.

546
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to happen. Yeah, So what kinds of

547
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>threats are coming from outside the country.

548
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 11>Everything what's happening is it's it's it's interesting, you know,

549
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 11>from an academic standpoint, but it's very very bad for

550
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 11>us as Americans who have to live with this garbage.

551
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.359
<v Speaker 11>But the Chinese and the Iranians, they don't particularly care

552
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 11>what messages they're sending out as long as there are

553
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 11>messages of divisions, So they will push out messages on

554
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.440
<v Speaker 11>TikTok and on x Twitter and on Facebook and Instagram.

555
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 11>On every side. Trump is great, Trump is bad, Trump's

556
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 11>going to do this. Kamala is this kamma is that

557
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.599
<v Speaker 11>they don't care. In the case of the Russians, the

558
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:52.920
<v Speaker 11>intelligence agencies in Washington believe that the Russians very clearly

559
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:59.160
<v Speaker 11>would like Trump to win. But again, these foreign adversaries,

560
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:02.519
<v Speaker 11>they they feel that they've achieved their goal when they

561
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.640
<v Speaker 11>drive us insane.

562
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and from the ones that are coming from outside

563
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the country, Like you said, they're not going to go

564
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 1>in to arrest somebody sitting in a computer terminal in China.

565
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Have any of those threats turned out to be credible

566
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.079
<v Speaker 1>or they really are all just like what you're saying,

567
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>they're just trying to sew discourse.

568
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 11>No, no, really, these things are not credible. So these

569
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 11>swatting incidents that we see, these bomb scares, the fear

570
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 11>is with the election that these could these these online

571
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.359
<v Speaker 11>garbage threats, these hoaxes could turn out to be legitimately dangerous.

572
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 11>You know, it doesn't take a lot of overthinking to

573
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.039
<v Speaker 11>get to the point of, you know, there's a hoax,

574
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:47.680
<v Speaker 11>there's a swatting call that's not real, but you send

575
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.119
<v Speaker 11>the police armed with heavy weapons to a location because

576
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.400
<v Speaker 11>they're responding to a hoax, and then all of a

577
00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:56.400
<v Speaker 11>sudden you have people that are armed in a location,

578
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:58.559
<v Speaker 11>and then all of a sudden, you have we've seen

579
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:01.640
<v Speaker 11>this signals, so things get very very dangerous. That's actually

580
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 11>why here at ABC we've actually covered the changing training

581
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 11>of law enforcement, not just related to elections, but in

582
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.480
<v Speaker 11>relation to the bump scares and hoaxes and swatting hoaxes,

583
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 11>where law enforcement is trying to slow down the clock

584
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.960
<v Speaker 11>and not send swat teams on to the teeth to

585
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 11>every single call, because as soon as you put those

586
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:26.359
<v Speaker 11>heavy weapons out onto the street, things get much more dangerous.

587
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And become tense and things can escalate. You, okay, Josh,

588
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.519
<v Speaker 1>anything that you would recommend people should can do as

589
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>they head to the polls today.

590
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:38.200
<v Speaker 11>The most important thing is to make sure you know

591
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:40.240
<v Speaker 11>where you're going because as a result of some of

592
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 11>the security measures, some polling places have changed. You know,

593
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.720
<v Speaker 11>some schools no longer school districts no longer want to

594
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 11>have polling at their schools for security reasons, so people

595
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 11>need to check to make sure they're going to the

596
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 11>right place. Most important, they need to leave extra time

597
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:57.160
<v Speaker 11>security measures like we see at airports, you know at Thanksgiving,

598
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 11>security measures will oftentimes lead to delay. So you're not

599
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 11>going to want to vote if you're going to see

600
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.119
<v Speaker 11>a line that's lasting for an hour. So choose a

601
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.200
<v Speaker 11>good time that's convenient for you. Be ready to wait,

602
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.440
<v Speaker 11>as they say with the with the holiday travel, pack

603
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 11>your patients. And when you see armed deputies in uniform

604
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.559
<v Speaker 11>or police, don't be nervous, don't be put off. Don't say,

605
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:21.039
<v Speaker 11>oh my god, I don't want to bring my kid

606
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 11>with me because there must have been a threat to

607
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 11>the contrary. You should expect to see that, and you

608
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:29.799
<v Speaker 11>should then be satisfied the same way when you go

609
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 11>to an airport and you on some level know that

610
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 11>the TSA screening is keeping everybody safe. You know that

611
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.279
<v Speaker 11>when you see the LAPD or the sheriff out there

612
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:41.480
<v Speaker 11>at your polling place, that's keeping you and your family safe.

613
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 11>So be chill, go vote, be confident, but remember they

614
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:50.519
<v Speaker 11>are going to they are likely going to be inconveniences.

615
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 11>Also especially with traveling and parking. If you're near a

616
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.200
<v Speaker 11>place where they're counting ballots and your county buildings, that

617
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 11>there are definitely going to be road closures over there.

618
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.880
<v Speaker 11>So just keep that in mind as well.

619
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and if you see those police officers, maybe say

620
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>thank you because they're keeping our election process safe.

621
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:08.880
<v Speaker 3>You know what.

622
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 11>And the poll workers too, because these people are just

623
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.200
<v Speaker 11>assaults of the earth, and a lot of them just

624
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.839
<v Speaker 11>don't get paid and they have been the targets of

625
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 11>so many threats, and God bless them. They don't want

626
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.279
<v Speaker 11>they don't want to do anything other than just make

627
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:21.519
<v Speaker 11>sure everybody gets to vote.

628
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Yep, good reminder, Josh Margolin, thank you so much. We'll

629
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>look forward to talking to you again.

630
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:29.839
<v Speaker 11>Have a great lection day, all right you too.

631
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Vice President Harris and former President Trump have wrapped up

632
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 1>their campaign blitzes of key swing states. Between the two

633
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>of them, they went to nine campaign rallies just yesterday.

634
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Trump's last event was in Michigan, his last stop on

635
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 1>his twenty sixteen and twenty twenty campaigns. Harris ended in Philadelphia,

636
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>flanked by Lady Gaga and Oprah. You can outrack your

637
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.559
<v Speaker 1>election ballot to the finish line in California. To track

638
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:57.440
<v Speaker 1>your ballot, you can go to California Dot Ballot Tracks,

639
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 1>type in your information, choose the option for email, text,

640
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:02.720
<v Speaker 1>or phone calls, and then you'll get updates when your

641
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>ballot is mailed, received, counted, or if there's any kind

642
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>of issue. The City of California has filed a lawsuit

643
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.639
<v Speaker 1>against the City of Norwalk because the city's banned homeless

644
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>shelters and temporary housing. They say it's stressing city resources.

645
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>The state's lawsuit comes after warnings were issued to Norwalk

646
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:22.039
<v Speaker 1>over its policy. Last month, the state cut off funding

647
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to the city for housing and anti homelessness projects. We're

648
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning,

649
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Boeing workers are going to start building planes again following

650
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 1>a more than seven week long walkout. Let's say good

651
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:36.679
<v Speaker 1>morning right now to the host of How to Money

652
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>on KFI. It's Joel lars Guard. Joel, it is election day,

653
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:45.159
<v Speaker 1>and so I wanted to ask you about that real quick. First,

654
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>is the election going to have any effect on your

655
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:53.320
<v Speaker 1>four to h one k and should people do anything?

656
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Waited out? What's the feeling and the vibe there?

657
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that's a really good question. And I think

658
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 3>people are concerned right about what happens with this election

659
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.280
<v Speaker 3>and how that impacts their money. I mean, there's a

660
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.639
<v Speaker 3>lot of things on people's minds on election day today.

661
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.519
<v Speaker 3>But the truth is, when you zoom out and you

662
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 3>look at the stock market, over the course of US

663
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:20.000
<v Speaker 3>history and over the course of Republican and Democrat administrations,

664
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 3>the returns have been positive, essentially agnostic to who's in

665
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:26.480
<v Speaker 3>the office.

666
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:26.760
<v Speaker 11>Right.

667
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:30.320
<v Speaker 3>So I think for anybody out there who's saying, oh,

668
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:33.440
<v Speaker 3>if President Trump wins, oh if Kamala Harris becomes the

669
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.400
<v Speaker 3>next president, I don't know if I want to put

670
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 3>as much into my four one K, I would say

671
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.880
<v Speaker 3>that's short sighted. And I think that there's no reason

672
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:42.840
<v Speaker 3>to change your investing strategy based on who's in office.

673
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So no knee jerking, deep breath, write it out,

674
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>just like you always say with your zero one.

675
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.840
<v Speaker 3>K, right, right. That's the thing. Like, when I'm talking

676
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:58.719
<v Speaker 3>about investing, I'm thinking about decades in the future, and

677
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 3>so for most people out there, unless you're let's say,

678
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 3>nearing retirement age, and even if you are nearing retirement age,

679
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't mean you should make any sort of drastic

680
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.800
<v Speaker 3>change to your portfolio. But when we're talking when I'm

681
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:11.320
<v Speaker 3>talking to millennials, gen zers, people who are people that

682
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:14.519
<v Speaker 3>have ten, fifteen, twenty plus years before they retire, there's

683
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.079
<v Speaker 3>no point in changing anything based on what happens today

684
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.920
<v Speaker 3>or tomorrow. The truth is the American economy is incredibly resilient,

685
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.679
<v Speaker 3>and even if the person who you don't really love

686
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 3>gets elected, and maybe they're going to implement some economic

687
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.559
<v Speaker 3>policies that you don't think are the best, American businesses

688
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:34.559
<v Speaker 3>tend to figure it out. I mean, think about what

689
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.480
<v Speaker 3>happened during the pandemic and how American businesses were incredibly

690
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.800
<v Speaker 3>resilient to figuring out how to be profitable even with

691
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.480
<v Speaker 3>work from home, even with supply chain issues. I would say,

692
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.159
<v Speaker 3>if they can deal with that, they can deal with

693
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:48.760
<v Speaker 3>either administration and whatever policies come down the pipe.

694
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we mentioned four one k is just a minute

695
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 1>ago and there just wanted to touch on this. There

696
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:58.920
<v Speaker 1>was a small increase in the amount that you can

697
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:00.039
<v Speaker 1>contribute to your four one.

698
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Yes, there was so every year based on kind of inflation,

699
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:10.800
<v Speaker 3>the four one k or ira contribution amounts go up,

700
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:13.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, depending on and by how much it depends

701
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:15.679
<v Speaker 3>on kind of the rate of inflation. And so when

702
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:18.480
<v Speaker 3>it comes to your IRA contribution amount, that actually gets

703
00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:21.119
<v Speaker 3>stuck at seven thousand dollars, it was seven thousand in

704
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.960
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty four, it's gonna be seven in twenty twenty five.

705
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 3>But when it comes to your four to one K

706
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:28.920
<v Speaker 3>contribution amount, because it's a higher amount you're able to

707
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.840
<v Speaker 3>actually that's going to increase. So that's going from twenty

708
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 3>three thousand dollars a year that you can stick into

709
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.199
<v Speaker 3>your four O on K to twenty three thousand, five hundred.

710
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 3>And I hope that there are people listening to this

711
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:42.320
<v Speaker 3>conversation Amy who are saying, oh, great, then I'm going

712
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.719
<v Speaker 3>to actually contribute more to my foural K. I didn't realize,

713
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 3>and I'm planning on maxing it out. But the reality

714
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:50.480
<v Speaker 3>is that most people don't max out their foural one

715
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 3>K contribution and it might not even be the smartest thing,

716
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.599
<v Speaker 3>depending on your income and depending all the things you have,

717
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:59.360
<v Speaker 3>you got going on blocking money away into a four

718
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.880
<v Speaker 3>one K is rate up until a point. And so

719
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:03.880
<v Speaker 3>I think for some people, maxing out of four one

720
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 3>K is an incredible goal and they should strive for it,

721
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 3>but it kind of depends on a bunch of nuanced factors.

722
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And not to feel bad, but I just read that

723
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>only fourteen percent of people actually do max out those contributions.

724
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, And actually I'm shocked to think that it's fourteen percent.

725
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's a lot of people to be maxing

726
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.519
<v Speaker 3>out at four one k, because again, that is such

727
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.519
<v Speaker 3>a substantial amount of money. I'm a fan of being

728
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 3>able to get to that point over time. I just

729
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.119
<v Speaker 3>remember when I was like starting off as a young investor,

730
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:35.440
<v Speaker 3>hearing people say, oh, that's that's a good goal to have,

731
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:39.039
<v Speaker 3>and thinking how will I ever get there? That sounds impossible, right.

732
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:41.320
<v Speaker 3>That is so much money to be funneling into a

733
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 3>retirement account that you're not going to be able to

734
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.360
<v Speaker 3>tap for many, many decades. I think it's a really

735
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.800
<v Speaker 3>really good goal to have, but I also think that

736
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:50.400
<v Speaker 3>life gets in the way, and there are other things

737
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.760
<v Speaker 3>that people want to spend money on in the here

738
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.920
<v Speaker 3>and now, and so be careful before you lock that

739
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:58.039
<v Speaker 3>money away for decades and decades to come. Yes, get

740
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.280
<v Speaker 3>the match, Yes, save even more than that. And when

741
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:03.239
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about putting twenty three thousand dollars away potentially

742
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 3>a good goal to have over the long run, but

743
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.519
<v Speaker 3>also taking the consideration other financial goals too.

744
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and then we wanted to touch on this really

745
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:16.000
<v Speaker 1>quick because Costco has changed its policy and it is

746
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:18.800
<v Speaker 1>now seeing the Netflix effect.

747
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's really interesting. Last couple times I went to Costco,

748
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.079
<v Speaker 3>I've seen this in person, and so basically, what they

749
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.639
<v Speaker 3>want you to do now is scan your membership as

750
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.679
<v Speaker 3>you're walking into the doors. Instead of just like, you know,

751
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.840
<v Speaker 3>flippantly showing it to the person as you walk in,

752
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 3>now you actually have to scan something. And there's a

753
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 3>screen on the other side of this scanner that the

754
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Costco employee is checking to say, wait a second, that

755
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:44.639
<v Speaker 3>does sound like Shila. It says Shila, and I'm seeing

756
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:46.199
<v Speaker 3>the person walking in, but it doesn't really match the

757
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:49.880
<v Speaker 3>picture that I'm seeing corresponding to this person, so it's yeah,

758
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:52.480
<v Speaker 3>you're right. It's a kind of a Netflix esque attempt

759
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to crack down on people borrowing each other's memberships and

760
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:58.480
<v Speaker 3>going to Costco as though you were your neighbor or

761
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.159
<v Speaker 3>something like that. What they want you to do is

762
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 3>sign up for your own Costco membership, which makes total sense,

763
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Like I've got no problem with Costco immitting a couple

764
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:08.519
<v Speaker 3>of security measures to make sure. I mean, I think

765
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.280
<v Speaker 3>it started with at the self checkout. They started checking

766
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:14.119
<v Speaker 3>people's IDs there to make sure they were the person

767
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 3>they said they were, so they're not using somebody else's membership.

768
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:21.320
<v Speaker 3>And the reality is Costco membership is pretty inexpensive compared

769
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:23.039
<v Speaker 3>to what you get. I think for a lot of families.

770
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:25.079
<v Speaker 3>It's not for everyone, but it can make a whole

771
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.199
<v Speaker 3>lot of sense, Like I get more value out of

772
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 3>my Costco membership than the membership fee by a mile.

773
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, absolutely so. And it's we know the handle

774
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>gets a lot out of his Costco membership. Do we

775
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:40.519
<v Speaker 1>know what the fees are? I need to go change mind?

776
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I have the executive membership. I don't need

777
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that anymore.

778
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:44.280
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.

779
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:48.239
<v Speaker 3>No, So Costco just raised membership fees, but they didn't

780
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:50.599
<v Speaker 3>raise them as much as I thought. And so now

781
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.519
<v Speaker 3>it's I believe sixty five dollars for the regular membership,

782
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.639
<v Speaker 3>and it's one hundred and thirty dollars for the executive membership.

783
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.320
<v Speaker 3>It used to be sixty and one twenty and they

784
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.920
<v Speaker 3>hadn't raised it in seven years before that. So Costco

785
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 3>has been pretty cognizant and pretty customer friendly when it

786
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.519
<v Speaker 3>comes to the membership piece they're charging. I'm pretty sure

787
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:11.320
<v Speaker 3>they could have raised the membership piece even more and

788
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:14.159
<v Speaker 3>still seeing people not leave or anything like that, but

789
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:16.599
<v Speaker 3>or at least you a very very very small percentage

790
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:19.400
<v Speaker 3>of people say sorry, you just priced me out, but yeah,

791
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.519
<v Speaker 3>the Costco membership is still represents a pretty reasonable value.

792
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Perfect, Joel. Thank you for the great information as always,

793
