six. Let's say good morning nowto ABC's White House correspondents Karen Travers.
Karen, President Biden says, wemade a deal, but Speaker McCarthy said,
no, we didn't. So isit a Biden gaff or something in
the work. So we just don'tknow about you know, it could be
(04:48):
more the latter on that one,but the White House wasn't saying. So
this goes back to Sunday when thePresident was giving remarks about the short term
deal to avert a government sh down, the legislation that Congress passed on Saturday
that he signed into law, andhe was asked the question, or are
you going to be able to trustSpeaker McCarthy when the next deal comes around?
(05:09):
And the President said, we justmade one about Ukraine, so we'll
find out. Well, no surprise. That's going to spark a lot of
questions about what's this deal about Ukraine? Well, what are you talking about
here? And what will this looklike going forward? Because remember that Ukraine
funding that the White House wanted,twenty four billion dollars, was left out
of the short term extension. Itdid not get included in because there was
(05:30):
a lot of resistance, not alot vocal, loud resistance among some conservative
Republicans. So McCarthy did not putthis in, and now the White House
is still pushing for it. Butyesterday the White House wouldn't say what the
President meant, would not even explainwhat that comment was about. McCarthy has
denied that there's any sort of dealright now, but the White House says
(05:51):
that they're expecting that McCarthy will putforward this funding for a vote, that
there's bipartisan support for it in theHouse and Senate. But the reason this
has become such a political hot potatois because Matt Gates, as you guys
know, has put forward this motionto push Kevin McCarthy out of his job,
is how speaker. One of thethings he's now citing is this secret
(06:12):
deal he says McCarthy has made aboutUkraine funding with the President. It's not
the only thing. There's been awhole list of things. He's been kind
of moving towards this for some timebut now this has become another part of
it, saying, you know,look, McCarthy keeps making agreements with Democrats,
he keeps working with Democrats and sidingwith them over Republicans, and now
he's even working with the President onUkraine funding. Okay, but so backroom
(06:35):
deals are nothing new totally. Thishappens all the time. I mean,
it wouldn't be surprising if the Presidentand McCarthy did not talk over the weekend
and there was a conversation where theysaid, look, this did not get
included because we have to just getsomething done or to get something that can
pass. But we are now goingto move forward and just put it up
(06:55):
for a vote. And that's whatthe White House has been calling for because
they say, you know, weunderstand there's a ton of politics involved in
the government spending fight over the lastcouple of weeks, but they insist.
From Jake Sullivan, the National SecurityAdvisor, to other senior officials, they'll
say, if you just voted straightup on Ukraine funding, it would pass
in the Senate and it would passin the House if there was nothing else
(07:18):
attached to it. That there isbipartisan support in both chambers for this,
but there's just this very loud resistancefrom some Republicans and that's why Kevin McCarthy
hasn't moved forward on it. Andyou know there's political dynamics at play,
of course, but the White Housetrying to put a little bit of pressure
on McCarthy saying, you know,this can get done. Let's get it
(07:38):
done. Yeah, And McCarthy hadsaid when he was talking about on Saturday,
because I remember hearing him say,we got to keep the government open.
I'm putting through this continuing Resolution withouta bunch of stuff in it.
It'll deal with Ukraine. We're notleaving Ukraine out, We're just not putting
it in this and that's what theWhite House is kind of clinging to at
(07:59):
this point, Karine said. Yesterday, Speaker McCarthy was on the air TV
radio multiple times saying that he wantsto continue to support Ukraine to get the
weapons that they need. So shesaid, we're going to hold him to
that. That's something he said,it's a commitment he has made. So
they're really putting the lean on him. But of course he's getting it from
all sides right now. And wesaw last night that motion to vacate,
(08:22):
the wonky term that basically means they'renow the clock is ticking, the official
clock is started for the process totry and remove him as Speaker. And
the numbers are really challenging for himbecause it's such a small Republican majority.
He can only afford to lose fourRepublicans so far, five have already signaled
(08:43):
publicly they would vote him out,so he would need Democrats to support him
to save his leadership job. Andmy Democrats vote from saying, hey,
you just did us a solid bydoing the continuing resolution, so we're not
going to fight this one. Imean you talked about like side deals and
agreements and back deals. You gottathink there's gonna be a lot of conversations
(09:03):
over the next thirty six hours ofwhat's in it for us, Like why
would they do that unless there issome concession to them and what they can
get out of it. There isno indication publicly yet about what Democrats are
going to do. A lot ofquestions to the White House yesterday about what
the President thinks about this, whatdoes he think Democrats on the Hills should
be doing, how they should bevoting. Kareem would not say. The
(09:24):
president's position basically said, this isup to House Republicans to sort out.
But it's not just up to HouseRepublicans. It's also up for the Democrats
at this point too. Okay,And before I let you go, when
when is this they're going to doa snap vote on this whole recall the
speaker ship thing. Yeah, thenext day or two. Yeah, So,
because it's a forty eight hour processfrom the time that motion to vacate
(09:46):
it started last night, I guessprobably evening our time, you know,
early evening year time. So we'relooking at Wednesday night. All right.
As always, thank you so muchfor your information and insight, Karen,
have a great day. Thanks.Let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty fourhour newsroom. A hearing for a lawsuit
filed on behalf of twelve cities challengingLa County's zero bail program is scheduled for
(10:09):
tomorrow morning. Hearing is scheduled fora Superior Court judge in downtown La Claudia
formitte As, the mayor of Downey, says the new policy is reckless and
dangerous and she doesn't really trust theLA court system. With the current policies
at hand, we do not believethat there's going to potentially be neutrality,
and so we want to make surethat this is transferred over to Orange County.
The suit was filed late last Friday, and the new zero bail policy
(10:31):
started Sunday morning. Steve Gregory KOFYNews. Divers have been searching the California
Aqueduct for the body of a missingseventy eight year old man. The body

(12:26):
Private Travis King met with family membersover the weekend. He made international headlines
when he darted across the border intoNorth Korea from South Korea along the DMZ
back in July. No one hassaid why exactly King did it, although
he was facing potential punishment after spendingsome time in a South Korean jail earlier
in the summer. Got to remindyou that tomorrow we're all going to get
(12:50):
a good scare. Actually it shouldn'tbe a scare. It's an emergency alert,
and you know those emergency alerts thatgo out. But tomorrow's at eleven
twenty hours time is going to bea nationwide test, which means that all
TVs and radios and cell phones aroundthe US should be getting this emergency alert.
(13:11):
So again it's not only for broadcastTV, but it's also for cable
systems, satellite radio, TV providers, wireless video providers. So they want
to get this out. It's atest that they've been doing since twenty eleven,
I believe is when they first didthe first nationwide tests. So it's
happening at eleven twenty. Don't befreaked out. Just know what's happening and
(13:37):
most of us are going to hearit. Here's what we're following in the

handled on the news. Sag Aftraand the Hollywood Studios met for a whole
day. That's pretty much all they'resaying about the negotiations yesterday. Right now,
let's say good morning to the hostof How to Money right here on
KFI. It's Joel lars Guard.Good morning, Joel, morning Amy.
(14:43):
So first let's talk about there's somemoney things that are coming up, like
a tax deadline. Oh yeah,that's right. So normally, you know,
we're talking about filing taxes in April, but everyone remembers the winter storms,
right that happened. So because ofthat, the tax stadline was pushed
back to October sixteenth for basically everyonein the state of California. And so
(15:07):
it's it's important to get your taxesdone on time, and so this was
an extension. Nobody had to actuallygo in there and request the extension.
It was just granted to everyone.And so if you haven't filed your taxes
yet, the time the clocks ticking, so it's time to time to get
on that. Yeah, on Mondaythe sixteenth, and you know, I
did my taxes on time because eventhough I knew I had that extra six
(15:28):
months and I knew I had topay, so I could have not paid
until now. I was like,it's going to get out of my mind.
I'm going to completely forget about it, and then I'll get a reminder
on the radio a week before andgo into full on panic mode. So
yes, yeah, so yeah.And for a whole lot of people too.
So many people get a refund,and so there's no point in waiting
in delaying just because you can,unless you really, you know, had
(15:54):
were severely impacted and could not getaround to it. That that's understandable.
But for a whole lot of people, it just made sense to file,
go ahead, get the refund,and start doing good things with that money.
Yep. Okay. So, speakingof taxes and bills, savers are
going to get a new tax bill. Oh yeah, so okay, this
is there's good news and bad news, and the bad news isn't really all
(16:15):
that bad, right, So thegood news is that interest rates on savings
accounts, on CDs, on allsorts of savings type products have gone up
and up and up, and atthe same time, inflation has gone down,
down and down, and so it'sbeen really good. Now savers are
out of place where they're actually makingreal returns on any money that they've gotten
(16:37):
savings. If and I stress this, if if they're with the right bank,
if they're with the right institution,there's still a whole lot of people,
much to my chagrin, banking withthe giant banks like Wells Fargo and
Bank of America, who are gettingpaid essentially nothing on their money. And
so with inflation running wild, itobviously calmed down a little bit. Right,
it's now in the three point sevenrange. But if you're paid point
(17:00):
zero one percent on your money,you're losing regularly because of what inflation is
doing to those dollars that are insavings. But if you make one little
move and go to one of myfavorite high yield savings accounts with an online
bank, you're gonna be able tooutpace inflation actually making real returns on your
money. So that's really important tomention. But then the flip side is
(17:22):
you are, if you've got asignificant chunk of change in savings and you're
earning that high yield, which isgreat, you're gonna owe tax on that
and so be on the lookout fora ten ninety nine i MT. That's
what it's called early next year.And if you've got significant amounts of savings
you're gonna have, you're gonna hundreds, maybe even depending on how much you
have maybe even an extra grand ortwo in taxes to the federal government.
(17:45):
But then again, like I said, it's good news because you're actually making
money. This is more like asuccess tax than some sort of penalty that
you should be upset about. Okay, And just again, you know,
you know, I've told you I'mno good with money. So I have
a savings account at one of thebig banks. Theoretically, not that I
would do that Joel oh Bro,of course not okay, But and I'm
(18:06):
really not making any money on it. I'm not gonna have to pay taxes
on it. It's only if youlike make a bunch of money on the
savings that you already have, rightright, I mean, so if you
have one of these accounts, evenif you got one hundred grand in it
and you're you're getting the point zeroone percent return, Yeah, you didn't
make much money from that account.And so because of that, your ten
(18:26):
ninety nine aint is going to bepathetically small. You're not going to owe
almost any tax. You're you're notgoing to notice any difference. But if
you're the kind of person going onehundred grand and you had it in one
of my favorites, that's making fivepercent, Yeah, you're gonna get that
ten ninety nine aint and you're gonnago oh a few hundred bucks in tax
that maybe you weren't planning on,you weren't expecting. But again, like
I said, that's a good thingthough. Yeah, you made the money,
(18:48):
and so it's worth it's worth payingthe tax. It's not really that
bad in the scheme of things.It's just something that people need to plan
for as rates on those savings accountshave increased as it's gone. Okay,
and how do I find a goodonline bank? Oh, that's a good
question. So I've got a fewof my favorites that I like to mention
most of the time. I likeAlly, I like Discover, and I
(19:11):
like c I T and I reallylike I stress online banks for a reason.
It's because the brick and mortars,for the most part, aren't paying
as well. You might find adeal, one off deal at a local
credit union. I love credit union. So if your credit union is offering
something that's competitive in the marketplace whenit comes to savings, usually they're better
at loan type products, then definitelyit's worth considering that. But if you
(19:33):
go with one of those online savingsaccounts like ally c I T or Discover,
and you can actually find a listof the highest paying best savings accounts
out there on a site called doctorof Credit dot com Doctor of Credit dot
com, And so that's a reallygood place to turn if you're looking to
find kind of Okay, who's gotthe absolute best rate? I've got a
lot of money to stock away.And some of these banks will even offer
(19:57):
like a special onus if you openan account with them, So not only
are they paying a much high rate, but you might get a couple of
hundred bucks for moving over your savingstoo, So it's definitely worth looking into.
Okay, I've got my work cutout for a doctor credit dot com.
Joel lars Guard, thank you somuch. I mean I hadn't even
thought about that. So this isgood to at least get us thinking about
(20:18):
how we're going to make money offof our money that's just sitting there right
Oh man? Yeah, well,and you know the savings Wait, wait,
people are getting hammered for years andyears and years, and finally savers
are not getting you know, bentover a barrel. So I'm glad to
see that savers aren't getting smacked aroundthese days. I love that. Okay,
how to Money you can find outmore great stuff about money and how
(20:40):
you can keep more of your moneywith How the Money with Joel lars Guard
noon to two. When is thatSaturday? No, Sunday, Sunday,
Sunday. I'm getting my days allmixed up. Sundays noon to two.

The police department is preparing for thepossible increase by carrying out a retail
(21:23):
sting operation more often. Pasadena PoliceLieutenant Monica Quaar says the operation works by
having detectives poses shoppers at different stores. We know what stores are getting hit
the most, you know, soit last time it was Macy's. Macy's
was getting hit every week, everyday. The stings will now happen every

with the Lakers to his son rightnow. We hear a lot of bad
things about kids these days, soI wanted to share a story about a
young woman who is making a difference. She's helping students, and I would
(22:27):
venture to say she's making the worlda better place. It's Hannah Karnick.
She's a recent graduate of Sage OakCharter High School. Hannah's family has been
taking in foster kids over the years, and that's given her some perspective and
insight and maybe even compassion for others, which led her to starting up a
charity called Hannah's Helpful Hands. SoI'd like to say, welcome to Hannah.
(22:51):
Please tell us about your charity.Basically, what it does is it
works with students to provide them basicnecessities like shirts and backpack x and socks
and from toilet tree bags and hygienebags. So it's a free closet inside
of elementary schools and so students candiscreetly get these items so that you know
(23:12):
they can have them. And itstarted by me having fifteen foster siblings.
And wait wait fifteen foster siblings.Yeah, that's so like all at the
same time or over a period ofyears. How did that all come together?
That was over a period of time. Okay, so over over my
(23:33):
whole seventeen years of life. Yeah, I've had fifteen foster siblings. Wow.
So I would imagine that there wouldbe some challenges along the way with
that. And so you saw thatthere was a need for kids and said
I'm going to do something about it. Yeah, yeah, basically I love
that and the program. You've beendoing it since seventh or eighth grade.

(24:42):
You know, like college is veryexpensive, and so winning news types of
scholarships has been like and winning thisscholarship has been such a such a blessing
for me. And because of thatscholarship, like I don't have to work
as much in school, so thatschool is cheaper and now I can focus
(25:04):
more on my studies and gaining moreskills to learn how to better help these
kids and to work more with theschools and with the students. Okay,
so you are working and you're goingto school. Where are you going to

So you're doing it, and thenyou're also working with your Helpful Hands
charity and making sure that that continues. Yeah, yeah, so it's still
I went to school. Biola isnear Anaheims, so it's not that far
away, so I can still keepmy charity going. But the cool thing
is is that I have had morepeople help me recently, so I've been
