You're listening to KFI AM six fortywake Up Call with me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI andKOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
It's time for your morning wake upcall. Here's Amy King Spring bring
(00:26):
time to wake up. There's yourwake up come. I like it.
It's five o'clock on this Tuesday,January twenty third. I'm Amy King.
Thanks for starting your day with us. Well, it looks like the rain
has moved out. We're going tosee sunny skies by this afternoon. Grapevine
still may have some issues. Theyhad some nasty, nasty weather up there
(00:48):
and are still experiencing some mudslides andsuch, so if you're traveling north,
you might want to check the grapeVine first. OSCAR nominations are going to
be announced during wake Up Call thismorning. We'll be watching that for you
and get them to you. Ithink Barbenheimer expected to be big in the
nomination category. The debate was lastnight for the US Senate seat that was
(01:11):
held for decades by Dianne Feinstein,held at USC and as I've told you
before, I am a junkie forthese debates. It was kind of fun
to see because normally we see apresidential debate, you don't always see a
debate for a Senate seat. Sothey had the top four candidates. It
was Barbara Lee, Katie Porter,Adam Shiff, all Democrats, and then
(01:36):
Republican Steve Garvey. I think thatone of the key things that came out
of this debate, which was airedright here on KFI, is when Steve
Garvey said that he wasn't a politician. He said, the politicians talk down
to us. He says, Iwant to talk to people as opposed to
(01:59):
talking down to people. He saidthat he's just tired of everyone telling us
everything is okay when it's not.And they really kind of that one resonated
with me. Katie Porter made somegood points. Everything she said was it's
Washington's fault. She kind of keptgoing back to it's Washington's fault. I
think Adam Schiff just only came unhingedwhen he talked about Trump. Other than
(02:24):
that, he seemed like he wasvery rational, and and that was,
you know, had some good pointsto make. The takeaway from the whole
debate for me, which they're goingto be doing another one if you miss
this one They really did have someinteresting things to say, and I like
to hear what their stances are andthat kind of thing. But the big
takeaway that both Barbara Lee and KatiePorter seemed so angry. They're not happy
(02:47):
warriors. Again, as I mentioned, Adam Schiff only lost it when he
talked about Trump, and Steve Garveyto me, was kind of the calm
one in the room. He seemedwise and grandfatherly, but he also because
he doesn't have the uh, thepolitical acumen, he seemed like he was
(03:09):
kind of slow, like he wasthinking through his answers, which I think
is actually a good thing, butwhen you only have thirty or sixty seconds
to give your opinion, you gotto get it out there, and I
think that he was a little slowon that. After the debate, Mo
Kelly, who was part of thedebate and got to ask a couple of
questions last night, he did anafter on Later with mo Kelly and got
(03:32):
to talk to the candidates one onone and that was spectacular. So if
you missed it, you can alwaysgo to the iHeartRadio app and check out
Later with Mo Kelly. Again,his interviews after the debate were really,
really good. Here's what's ahead onwake up call. Well, this did
not last long. Almost thirty thousandfaculty and staff members at all twenty three
(03:52):
cal State campus has held the firstday of a scheduled five days strike yesterday,
but then a tenet of agreement wasreached last night, so everyone's going
to be back at work today.It includes a five percent salary increase retroactive
to last July, with another fivepercent hike in pay this summer. A
small town in New Hampshire is kickedoff the first in the nation Republican primary
by voting at midnight. Six registeredvoters in the small town of Dixville Notch
(04:17):
cast their ballots for former South CarolinaGovernor Nikki Haley. Trump's leading in the
polls. The Dow opens trading ona new high. The industrial average closed
just above thirty eight thousand for thefirst time yesterday. The SMP five hundred
also hit a record high at sixpo oh five. It is handle on
the news. Israel has offered atwo month ceasefire in exchange for the release
(04:40):
of hostages, but will Hamas gofor it. Let's get started with some
of the stories coming out of theKFI twenty four Hour Newsroom. California's top
candidates for US Senate have met faceto face for the first debate in the
race to succeed Senator Dianne Feinstein.They clashed over a request from kfi's mo
Kelly, please finish this sentence ifthe American people should choose former President Donald
(05:01):
Trump to return as commander in chief, then blank. Former baseball star Seve
Garvey said he'll decide who the bestperson for the job is when the time
comes. Congresswoman Katie Porter accused Garveyof refusing to answer California, I think
what they say is true. Oncea dodger, always a dodger, Okay.
(05:26):
Garvey said we should support the presidentand support the office. To an
answer to that question, Shiff said, if Trump is elected, then we
are rhymes with crude, and hesaid that Trump is the greatest threat to
our democracy. Lee didn't answer thequestion, and Porter says we will lose
our credibility and it'll set us backdecades in our relationships around the world.
(05:48):
The LA Homeless Count, or aHomeless Services Authority, is starting. It's
twenty twenty four Greater Los Angeles HomelessCount. The three Day Count begins tonight
in the San Gabriel and San Fernandovalley'solunteers will be in West LA, Southeast
LA, and the South Bay areatomorrow. On Thursday, counters will travel
around the Annealope Valley to Metro LAin South LA. The twenty twenty three
(06:10):
Greater Los Angeles Homeless count revealed anine percent year over year increase in homelessness
in the county and a ten percentincrease in the city. The Israeli militaries'
twenty four soldiers have been killed inone day in the Gaza Strip. ABC's
Jordana Miller says most of the deathshappened during one attack yesterday. IDEF says
twenty one soldiers killed when Hamas firedRPGs on two buildings with soldiers inside laying
(06:36):
explosives for demolition in southern Gaza,the attack setting off deadly secondary explosions that
brought the buildings down. Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Natanyahu called it one of the
most difficult days since the start ofthe war. When Hamas attacked, He
says the fighting will not stop untilthe absolute victory. The Southwest Airlines Pilot
Association has scored a victory, overwhelminglyapproving a new contract that will result a
(07:00):
result in a nearly fifty percent payraise over the next five years. The
pilots will also get an immediate raiseof just over twenty nine percent. The
twelve billion dollars deal also includes changesto work rules and scheduling, paid maternity
leave, and parental leaf and retirementplans. Let's say good morning to ABC's
senior national reporter at the Pentagon andFlaherty. Good morning, and America has
(07:25):
struck back after another Iranian backed militaryattack against a US based How did we
do? Was it successful? Whathappened? Yeah, so this is one
of the bigger attacks that are takingplace almost daily. It seems that the
US is trying to strike these hootyrebels who've been attacking commercial ships in the
Red Sea. What happened yesterday wasnot just the US, The UK was
(07:47):
also involved, other countries involved.They struck missile sites where the hoosies were
storing ballistic missiles, including in anunderground bunker. They also got radar other
conventional weapons. With this, theysay that they have significantly degraded the houthy's
ability to strike those commercial ships.Now one military official told me, you
(08:09):
know, it could happen again.We're not expecting this to be the end,
but we know that this was asuccessful attack and that we feel very
good about our ability to degrade theHouthis launch attack ability, and they have
been striking. The Houthis have beenstriking since I don't know for a couple
(08:31):
of months now how many attacks havethere been on US or US backed locations.
So military officials told me yesterday itwas more than thirty. I think
the number was thirty three attacks onthese commercial vessels in the Red Sea since
about November and November. And notall of these are US ships. Some
(08:52):
of these are other international ships.And they say that it's very concerning,
And of course, you know,the concern is when you broaden out you
look at that region as a whole. There have been more than one hundred
and fifty attacks on US forces inIraq and Syria. All of these have
a common thread, and that isthat these are pro militants that are being
bankrolled from Iran. US officials veryconcerned that this could spill out over into
(09:15):
a broader war. Yeah, andis it all Houthis or are there other
Iranian backed militant groups. So inYemen it's the Houthis, but in other
countries like Hesbola in Lebanon that theytoo are believed to be backed by the
Iranians. And then over the weekendwe have this strike against US officials at
US Air base that also was froman Iranian backed group, but different than
(09:39):
the Huthies. Okay, And inthat one, there were some US soldiers
injured, and what do we knowwhat their condition is? So we know
that they have been evaluated and diagnosedwith traumatic brain injury, that these two
service members have returned to work,that they will continue to be treated,
and then we have been told thatthat number could of course rise because of
(10:03):
the nature of brain injury if servicemembers present with symptoms. We do know
that there were seventeen rockets and ballisticmissiles that were launched at this US base,
So this was a larger scale attackthat we've seen against the US than
we have in the past, andof course US air defenses intercepting most of
those missiles, but two of thoseballistic missiles getting through and causing that traumatic
(10:24):
brain injury in the service members.Okay, And you mentioned that seventeen were
fired. Two of them got throughbecause we were able to shoot them down.
Do we have the same kind ofiron dome system that Israel has,
so, you know, we haveit on a smaller scale. But yes,
the US, you know, theydon't talk about the operational capabilities of
(10:45):
their air defenses in that region,but they do say that they believe that
it didn't necessarily fail, that itwas able to intercept most of those missiles.
But of course it only took twoto injure those service members. And
I should also add that an Iraqiservice member was also injured in the attack.
Okay, and then let's shift shiftGarres real quick and the Defense Secretary
Austin has made his first public appearancein a little while. Where was he
(11:07):
and what did he do? Sohe is appearing actually as we speak,
he's going to be appearing in avirtual meeting for the first time since he
was hospitalized with complications related to prostatecancer. You know, this caused a
big stir because he had gone tothe hospital, he was even under anesthesia
at one point, and never alertedthe White House, never told Congress or
(11:30):
the public that he had had thesehealth issues. The serious concerns about the
transparency there, but he is.His son said, you know, I
take responsibility for that. We shouldhave been more forthcoming and that you know,
he's working from home. He hasfull responsibility and duties over the armed
forces. He's successfully doing that fromhis house. He's going to be taking
(11:50):
this meeting on Ukraine from his house. That he will not be doing a
press conference. So well enough towork, but not well enough to respond
to questions from the press. Okay. And there had been talk immediately after
this happened, or when we foundout, or when the US found out,
that they were going to do someinvestigating and figure out whether there should
be some sort of a punishment orhe should resign for not being transparent.
(12:13):
Have we had any movement on thator is it still just sort of in
the works. Yeah, So thepanag I'm saying it's going to do a
thirty day review. That thirty daysis up February eighth. Of course,
we're all very interested in that.You know, we've heard from the President
who says he still has confidence inLloyd Austin. We haven't heard talk of
Secretary of Austin resigning, but ofcourse we don't have the results of this
(12:33):
review yet. It's probably going togo to Congress. First Congress, they
want him to testify, So Idon't think Republicans are going to let this
go. And of course, youknow, people will say, well,
it's you know, private, butwhen you're at this level of government responsibility,
you actually do have to be transparentabout your health issues because it's a
matter of national security and being forthcomingwith the public. Right and he's in
the line of succession for the presidency. Great he controls all armed forces across
(13:00):
the globe. So you know,they said that when he was sick,
he did transfer duties immediately to hisdefense the Deputy Defense Secretary, Kathleen Hicks,
and that she had full control.But you know what's interesting about this
whole story, she was never eventold why, and she never asked.
I mean, it really is kindof amazing that the authority could be transferred
and very few details could come out. I know, I think one of
(13:22):
my first things would be why ishe okay? That would be my question,
right, all right, And we'rea journalist, so we always ask
that question. There's that. AnneFlaherty, thank you so much for the
information today and hope to talk toyou again soon. Thank you. All
right, Let's get back to someof the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. LA Countyhealth officials are warning against consuming raw oysters
(13:43):
because of a neuro virus outbreak.LA County's Department of Health, doctor Leelo
Tessima says restaurants have been advised aboutwhat to do to slow the spread.
Anora virus is a very contagious vire. This either coffiscates the oysters or to
stop selling them. More than onehundred and fifty cases in LA have all
been linked to oysters harvested out ofMexico. To Sema says people should avoid
(14:09):
eating oysters until officials declared the outbreakis over. The armorer on the film
Rust has been removed as a defendantin a lawsuit against her, actor Alec
Baldwin, and other crew members byrelatives of a cinematographer who was shot and
killed on US set. A judgeyesterday granted a motion to dismiss Hannah Guetera's
red on the grounds that she hasno ties to California that would allow a
(14:31):
state court to have jurisdiction. Shepleaded not guilty last year to involuntary manslaughter
charges for supplying the gun that killedHelena Hutchins. The mother of a young
boy found alone on a boat inMarina del Rey and her male companion have
been arrested on child endangerment charges.Polisi divers were initially called out on Sunday
because they thought an adult may havefallen overboard, but then the mother and
(14:54):
her male companion showed up a fewhours later. The little boys Okay.
A member of the La City Councilwants to eliminate right turns on red.
Nythia Rammins says a right turn onred restrictions a simple, low cost measure
to increase pedestrian safety and would decreasethe number of car versus pedestrian collisions at
intersections. The recommendations one of manybeing considered in the Cities Vision zero safety
(15:16):
study. Other changes could include moreleading pedestrian interval adjustments, which would allow
people to enter a crosswalk three toseven seconds before at green light, and
an increase in scramble intersections. Thiswould allow traffic at all intersections to stop
at once so people could cross fromall corners at the same time. Steve
Gregory k if I News Voting isunderway in the first in the Nation primary
(15:37):
in New Hampshire. Polls headed intothe primary have former President Trump with a
strong lead over Nikki Haley on theRepublican side. On the Democrat side,
twenty one candidates are on the ballot, but President Biden is not one of
them. He's the first incumbent inmore than fifty years not to be on
the New Hampshire ballot. The topfour candidates in the race to fill the
late Dianne Feinstein's old Senate seat havefaced off at usc Apparently one look at
(16:02):
the candidate wasn't enough, or atthe candidates wasn't enough, because the Democratic
representatives Adam Schiff, Barber Lee andKatie Porter and Republican Steve Garvey are going
to do another debate on February twelve. Nominations for the ninety sixth Annual Academy
Awards will be announced anytime now.I expected to come out at about five
point thirty. The nominations will beannounced by Jokers, Zazi Beats and the
(16:25):
Boys Jack Quad. The Oscars willbe awarded March tenth on ABC at six
ZHO five. It's handle on thenews. Israel has offered up a two
month ceasefire in exchange for the releaseof hostages. Will Hamas go for it?
Right now, Let's say good morningto the host of how to Money
on KFI. It's Joel Larsguard.So, Joel, a lot of people
are lying to their spouses cheating ifyou will. Yeah, Apparently there's a
(16:49):
new bank rate survey and they didsome digging, asked a bunch of questions.
Forty two percent of adults say they'vecommitted financial infidelity, which just sounds
wrong, right, It sounds sobad, And interestingly enough, I think
there are certain types of financial infidelitythat can tarnish a relationship, that can
(17:11):
irreparably harm a relationship, and keepingbig money secrets from your spouse can Or
let's say you open up separate creditcard or something like that, and you're
doing spending that your significant other doesn'tknow about. Or you start, like
a lot of people are doing thesedays, sports gambling on your phone and
you're losing money handover fist, butyou've got this separate account and so your
significant other doesn't know about this.That mistrust when they find out and the
(17:36):
money you've lost can do significant damageto a relationship. But I just want
to say too that this term iskind of all. It encompasses, even
those minor white lies. So let'ssay you go to the grocery store and
you spend one hundred bucks on groceries, but you get twenty bucks cash back
on the way out too, viayour debit card or something like that.
That could also be considered finance infidelity. And so when we're talking about this
(18:02):
term, it's important to say thatthere are degrees, levels, and variations
of financial infidelity. I think thoselittle white lies, like you want to
be careful about those two, right, because a bunch of little white lives
can add up as well and canimpact a relationship. But I think we
see that term and we're just like, oh my gosh, this sounds terrible,
because infidelity in and of itself islike the worst thing you can do
(18:22):
in your relationship. Well, andthe Bank Create survey says that because they
didn't only ask what people were doing, but they also were saying, you
know, is financial infidelity really thatserious? And a lot of people say,
uh huh, it is. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think
it is a big deal. Andagain, to depends on the degree,
depends on your relationship depends on theterms you've agreed to. The key here
(18:45):
is communication, and I think it'sreally important if you're in a long term
relationship to be open and honest aboutthose whatever's going on, so that you
before they find out. It's alwaysworse if you keep the lie. The
longer the lie, the consequences aremore significant. And it's really important to
have regular money chats with your spouse. And I know that that sounds ridiculous,
(19:07):
but put it on your calendar.My wife and I have, and
it's not just to talk about money, but we have a standing Sunday night
kind of hang where we're talking aboutcalendar, we're talking about money, and
then we have something like once ayear where we're talking about hopes and dreams,
what do we want for our familyfor the coming year. And that
involves a lot of money discussions too. But put it on the calendar and
make fun like have a glass ofwine, make watch one of your favorite
(19:30):
shows afterwards if you want to.It doesn't have to be some three hour
ordeal. The more often you checkin, the shorter those meetings can be.
And they don't have to be drudgeryeither. Yeah, and I think
that you make such an important pointbecause I know people who are in relationships
who are doing you know, Imean, they do communicate about those things,
(19:51):
and they talk about hopes and dreamsand that kind of stuff. But
then there's also times where they goand they go, oh, I just
did got this, and don't tellthem. It's like, yeah, okay,
but if it's your money, becauselike you know, the people have
their own bank accounts, so theyshould be able to do with what they
want. But you should still keepthose lines of communication open. Well.
That's another really important point too,is when we talk about where we funnel
(20:15):
money and how we're able to accessmoney in a relationship, those things have
to be crystal clear. And sowhen you look at kind of the stats,
it turns out most couples are happierwhen they combine their finances into one
account. But that comes with areally big caveat because it's because they're able
to like share the goals of payingoff debt, of investing. The more
(20:36):
that they combine their assets, thehappier the couple typically is. But at
the same time, you have togive each other enough freedom, have at
least a number or have maybe separateaccounts where you funnel a few hundred bucks
five hundred bucks a month into thoseaccounts so that you can spend, no
questions asked, on whatever you want. And then we're not talking about financial
infidelity, but we are allowing youthe freedom to kind of do what you
(20:57):
want with some of the income that'scoming in. It doesn't all have to
go into the joint account and allbe subject to mutual decision making process.
Gotcha, So keep some of ittogether and maybe set aside some fun money
for each of you. And yougot to have that pressure release valve,
you know. Yeah, And thenyou said that there were little things,
and so I wanted to go overthe list of the bank said are possible
(21:19):
financial infidelities. And one is havinga secret credit card like you apply for
it, don't tell anybody. Anotheris spending more than the partner would be
okay with, which as we werejust talking about, I've witnessed that have
a secret debt, which might bewith the sports betting or something like that,
have a secret savings account, whichI know people who've done that.
(21:41):
I know people who've done all ofthis, and or having a secret checking
account. Yeah, I mean thoseare all problems because you're hiding money from
your spouse, or you're hiding alack of money a debt from your spouse,
and that is just clearly going tocreate conflict. And it's oftentimes it's
less about the money and it's moreabout the secretiveness. Right, So,
(22:03):
oh, hey, I screwed upand guess what I lost two grand gambling
on NFL football on the app onmy phone. Well, I think your
partner might be able to forgive youif you're able to tell them quickly and
you're able to like be honest aboutit. It's the dishonesty over a long
period of time that really does beginto degrade the trust in the relationship.
I think what's so interesting about somany of our conversations, Joel, is
(22:23):
that you talk about communication, andit seems like that is key to a
lot of money issues. I wantto just touch really quick before we run
out of time, which we alwaysdo, is that the stock market hit
an all time high yesterday over thirtyeight thousand. So what kind of reaction
are you having to that? Anddo we change anything because of this?
(22:45):
So not? Really, My wholething is think about the long term,
right and it's great that the stockmarket hit all time highs. It took
a couple of years to bounce back, but this is also a really normal
thing. We should expect downturns inthe stock market that potentially last two to
three years, and it's really importantto think about how you reacted to the
(23:06):
downturn in the stock market. Wereyou nervous, were you selling off some
of your positions, were you makingchanges to your portfolio? If so,
then you need to think long andhard about how you're positioned now so that
the next downturn doesn't catch you offguard and cause you to do something that
you otherwise wouldn't. It's fine tobe at all time highs, and actually,
(23:27):
I think a lot of people alsothink, oh, if we've just
had some sort of twenty plus percentreturn and we're back at all time highs,
well maybe I should pull back abit. I should be a little
wary that the stock market can continueto produce returns. And I understand where
that mindset comes from. But it'salso important to note that historically, when
the market produces something like a twentyplus percent return like it did last year,
(23:48):
that doesn't mean that there's an automaticpullback the next year. In fact,
the average increase in the market issomething like nine percent the year after
a massive rally like that. Sostaying the course canntinuing to do the right
thing dollar cost averaging, which isputting money in the market every single paycheck
that you get those automatic ach transfersto your IRA, let's say every single
(24:11):
month. Keep those going. Andall time highs or a bear market,
none of those things should really influencewhat we're doing day to day. We're
in it for the long haul,Joel. That's right. That's how you
build wealth. Okay. The hostof how to Money is Joel Larsgard.
You can hear him every Sunday fromnoon to two right here on KFI.
(24:32):
You can also follow him at howto Money. Joel, thanks so much.
Can't wait to hear what you haveto say this weekend. Thanks Amy.
All right, let's get back tosome of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.The cal State University System says an agreement
has been reached with the California FacultyAssociation. On day one of the faculties
planned five day strike, a statementfrom CSU says they have reached common ground.
(24:52):
The Faculty Association says the agreement includesraising the floor for the most vulnerable
faculty, say for workplaces, andexpanded parental leave. The union also says
the deal includes various salary increases,including a five percent boost for all faculty
retroactive to July last year, andthen another five percent bump on July first
of this year. A state senatorsays he's putting an end to taxes on
(25:17):
disaster settlement money. California currently addsmoney from insurance companies or utilities to people's
taxable income. Senator Brian Dally saysthe practice isn't fair here. You are
just beat down. At the sametime they're asking you after you finally got
some money to go start your life, you're getting a tax on it.
The legislature has voted to waive thetaxes on disasters for years. However,
(25:37):
Dally's bill would guarantee people won't betaxed. Dally says the bill may face
some challenges given the state's budget deficit. Like trolly k if I News,
the Supreme Court has granted the Bidenadministration's request to throw out a lower court
ruling that banned federal agents from removingthe razor wire that Texas has strung across
the border. It clears the wayfor federal officials to remove physical barriers and
(26:00):
help illegal immigrants who are struggling acrossthe Rio Grande. Well, this one
didn't last long. About thirty thousandfaculty and staff members at all twenty three
cal state campuses walked off the jobyesterday for the first day of a scheduled
five day strike. But then atentative deal was reached last night, so
everyone's going back to work today.The Dow opens trading on a new high.
(26:21):
The industrial average closed just over thirtyeight thousand for the first time yesterday.
The S and P five hundred alsohit a record high. Dry weathers
expected to move into southern California aftera series of storms drenched the area.
One point two inches of rain fellin downtown La over a twenty four hour
period. Let's see one point fourinches fell in Redondo Beach, San Gabriel
(26:42):
Valley one point five inches, allwell below the two to two and a
half inches forecasted at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The
top four candidates for one of California'stwo Senate seats faced off at USC Bill's
going to take a look at whatthey said and what they didn't say last
night. Right now, let's saygood more to ABC's Stephen Portnoy in New
(27:03):
Hampshire, where we're not looking ata Senate race, but a presidential race,
and voting is underway in the firstin the nation primary. That's right.
In fact, the first votes werecast at midnight here in the tiny
town of Dicksville Notch, and well, you could say Nikki Haley is off
to an early lead. She hadsix votes coming out of that six person
contest, and we'll see what happens. But Donald Trump, of course,
(27:26):
has been the front runner going intothis. Our five point thirty eight polling
average had him with about a fifteento sixteen percentage point lead over Haley,
and he's hoping to end this nominatingprocess here. He's hopeful that Nicky Haley
will lose and then get out ofthe race, and he'll be able to
consolidate Republican support behind his candidacy andgo right to the general election against President
Biden. Haley, on the otherhand, is hoping that moderates and even
(27:48):
liberally inclined, independent minded voters herein New Hampshire will come out and droves
and support her and upset Donald Trumpand a surprise the pundits, the pollsters,
the press. We'll see what happens. And she says she's staying in
until at least South Caroline, Alina. She doesn't say at least, but
she says, we're building momentum andI'm staying in and gaining support. But
(28:11):
Desanta said the same thing that hewas staying in two and that dropped out,
So that's right. And politicians willoften say that they don't want to
depress or suppress their turnout. Shesays she's spending money on ads in Carolina,
is going to go to her homestate next. It's voting in about
a month. She feels that there'stime to build momentum. But the fact
is Donald Trump is a leader inthe polls there too, and almost to
(28:33):
troll her here in South Carolina.Here in New Hampshire, he's been bringing
up on stage South Carolina's elected leaders, the governor, the Lieutenant governor,
the attorney general, the Senator TimScott, the members of the House delegation,
all to demonstrate that he has thesupport of the political establishment in her
home state. Yeah, I wantto go back to Dixville, Notch because
I know that they make a bigdeal out of it. It's six swapping
(28:56):
votes, but they're the first onesto vote for every election. It's tradition.
How often did they get it rightand how often do they get it
wrong? Or do we? Oh? I don't have the answer to that,
okay, but I will say broadly. You know, New Hampshire recently
has had a pretty good track recordas a state if you look at the
overall you know, matchups in contestedprimaries. The last time that New Hampshire
(29:22):
voted for someone other than the manwho became the Republican nominee. On the
Republican side was in two thousand,when Maverick John McCain bested George W.
Bush twenty four years ago. Butever since in twenty eight, in twenty
twelve, in twenty sixteen, whenDonald Trump won in each of those contested
Republican primaries, the way New Hampshirevoted is the way the ultimate nomination contest
(29:45):
turned out. Unlike Iowa, whichjust has all kinds of it's kind of
all over the board. Well,Iowa has not had a great track record.
They are hoping the Iowa Republicans arehoping that this year broke that streak
of for example, Mike Huckabee TedCruz Rick Santorum winning the Iowa contest.
And then, as you know,there's a saying that Nicki Haley employed here
(30:07):
and that's Iowa picks corn but NewHampshire picks presidents, and the people of
Iowa were a bit put off bythat. So at the end of the
day, look, Nikki Haley iscounting on the support of moderates and liberals,
and Donald Trump's been using that againsther. This is a primary in
which people who are not registered Democratscan take part. If you're an undeclared
(30:29):
voter, and about four and tenpeople here are, you can come out
and vote for Nicki Haley one Xfactor. And this is interesting Joe Biden,
to spite the state that has thefirst in the nation primary, he
doesn't want it to be first anymore. On the Democratic side, he wants
South Carolina to go first. Hehad withheld his name from the ballot here.
So if Democrats go and take partin the Democratic primary today, they
(30:52):
will not see the name of theincumbent president on the ballot. The leading
candidate who's been campaigning here is DemocratDean Phillips. The Minnesota Now because Dean
Phillips has been actively campaigning and totry to prevent him from winning the state,
Democratic leaders have been calling on Democratshere in New Hampshire to go to
the polls Democratic ballot and write inJoe Biden's name. If Democrats do that,
(31:18):
they won't have the opportunity to votefor Nicki Haley in the Republican primary,
because you can only pull one ballot. Be interesting to see what happens.
Hm. And the reason that theydidn't put Biden on the ballot was
because it was sort of a hey, we don't want New Hampshire to be
number one anymore, so we're notgoing to do it. Or was there
another reason that he's actually not onthe ballot. No, that's the reason
(31:42):
Joe Biden decided that. And look, remember four years ago he did not
win the New Hampshire primary. Ithink he came fourth, maybe fifth.
And I remember the morning after theNew Hampshire primary, which Bernie Sanders won
and Pete Buddha Jete came in aclose second. Everyone was saying, oh,
what's the path for Joe Biden withSouth Carolina, whether it's yeah,
predominantly black Democratic voter base, andso he decided that that should contest should
(32:06):
go first. And I was spoketo one voter yesterday at a Nikki Haley
event and she said she's inclined tosupport Nikki Haley, but she's not sure.
She said she had been a Democrat, but she's not going to vote
for Biden now. And it wasn'tbecause of the state of the economy or
world affairs. She said she wouldn'tvote for Biden because of what he did
(32:28):
to the New Hampshire primary. Ah, don't mess with people in a state.
You know, they gets territorial.That is what she said. Yeah,
okay. And whether I saw somestuff yesterday and it's sunny but it's
still cold. Is that affected orexpected to affect turn out at all?
No, I don't think so.It's mild weather here for this time of
(32:49):
the year. I think it's inthe low thirties. And that's perfectly fine
for New Hampshire. Nothing compared towhat they dealt with in Iowa. And
you dealt with because you were there, you could say that again, all
right, Steve Portnoy is they thankyou so much. If you'd like to
follow mister Portnoy, it's at StephenPortnoy. He'll keep you up to date
on what's going on. Let's getback to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The CDC says La County had one
(33:13):
of the highest numbers of m poxcases last year. Impox is a member
of the smallpox family, and anoutbreak of the virus first popped up in
the early part of last year.Health officials say from May through August and
twenty twenty three, there were fiftysix cases of mpox. That's up from
seven cases just a few months before. Of those fifty six patients who were
infected, thirty two were unvaccinated,eight partially vaccinated, and sixteen were fully
(33:36):
vaccinated. Forty eight patients reported sexualactivity three weeks before symptoms appeared. Forty
five of the men identified as gayor bisexual. Steve Gregory k if I
News. A seven point one magnitudeearthquake has struck western China, leaving at
least six people hurt and more thanone hundred houses damaged or destroyed. Local

but has since been restored. Therewere no reports of any deaths. The
youngest son of doctor Martin Luther King, Junior, has died the King Center

Malibu. King had been battling prostatecancer. He was sixty two. Voting
under way in the first national primaryin New Hampshire. Polls headed into the
(34:22):
primary have former President Trump with astrong lead over Nikki Haley on the Republican
side. The Israeli militaries is twentyone soldiers have been killed in the Gaza
Strip in what may be the singledeadliest attack against IDF soldiers since the war
with Hamas started. The top fourcandidates in the race to fill the late
Dianne Feinstein's old Senate seat to facedoff at usc Apparently one look at the
(34:43):
candidates wasn't enough, because another debateis scheduled for February twelfth, between Democratic
Representatives Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee,and Katie Porter and Republican Steve Garvey.
The primary is March fifth. Thetop two finishers in the primary will face
off for the seat in Nova.We're just minutes away from handle on the
news this morning, the CSU strikeis over after just one day. What's
(35:07):
the deal that got faculty off thepicket lines and back to class. Bill's
going to tell you right now,Let's check in with ABC's Jim Ryan.
Jim, we had a five tofour decision from the Supreme Court regarding the
border yesterday. Yeah, at fiveto four. Obviously, since nine people
sit on the court, it couldnot have been any closer. Literally,
Yeah, a five to four decisionthat clears the way for Border Patrol agents
(35:29):
to snip some of the Concertina wirethat the State of Texas has unrolled along
thirty miles of the Rio Grand thatseparates Texas from Mexico, the US from
Mexico, and so now presumably BorderPatrol agents immediately this morning can start cutting
that wire. The claim of theBorder Patrol is that the Concertina wire keeps
(35:50):
them, keeps their agents from gettingdown to the river to do their job,
and it also keeps people from safelygetting ashore. Three people drowned in
the river just last week, hundredsover the last couple of years, have
drowned. So the decision clears theway for border agents to go in cut
that razor wire. But is Texasgoing to stop them from doing that?
(36:13):
I mean, are we setting upa confrontation here or do the Texas people
who put up the razor wire juststand back. No, it's already happening
that confrontation. I mean, mysuspicion is that the Border Patrol agents and
the Texas troopers and the Texas NationalGuard there along the border are probably friendly
enough. They probably have coffee afterwork and hang out. But you know,
(36:36):
once they're in their uniforms and they'redoing their job, that's when this
kind of standoff happens. And it'sall cetered on a park, Shelby Park
in Eagle Paths at forty seven acrescity Park that the Texas National Guard has
essentially taken over, and Border Patrolagents who are trying to get access to
the river through the park are beingkept from entering that park. So you
(36:57):
do have kind of this confrontation ofthe standoff happening right there. The Concertino
wires a symbol of that. Iguess, as are these big globes,
these big four foot spheres that arethat have been put out in the river
as kind of a floating barrier.But yeah, the city Park is really
where it's going down right now.Okay, So back to the Supreme Court.
(37:19):
It was a five to four decision. The Court is six to three
conservative to not conservative, conservative toliberals, so obviously it wasn't just along
party lines, even though it neveris supposed to be right. What did
the dissenter say or what did thepeople on the side of I guess on
both sides, what are their theirarguments? Zero? There was one page
(37:45):
statement that said, this is theruling. We voted five Foytel's who voted
which way? Chief Justice? Yeah, John Roberts led the majority. Sonya,
So why arm Elena Kagan, AmyCony, Barrett Catanji Brown Jackson and
the rest of the justices were indissent. So you had them, you
know, on the one side writingfor the majority in favor of the Biden
(38:07):
administration. The others opposed. Butno, no explanation at all was offered
for the reasoning behind the ruling.That's interesting that they just don't say anything.
They just said this is what itis. Deal with it. I
do think it's interesting. And thisis just a side note, but you
know when Supreme Court justices get appointedand everybody starts freaking out saying, oh,
(38:27):
it's never going to be the sameand we need to pack the court
to make it, you know,more equal or whatever. But then you
have someone who is incredibly conservative,Amy Cony Verrett, who went with the
majority on this one. Yeah,you're right, and you've hit on something
that's been amazing to me over thelast thirty years or so that when somebody
(38:49):
appoints or names nominates a member ofthe Supreme Court, they say, this
person won't let politics stand in theway with this person will rule constitutionally.
We'll let they founding father's guide hisor her way. But in the back
of their mind they're saying, well, why would you choose this person?
Well, because they philosophically are alignedright along with you. Right. So
is it an illusion, an illusionthat a Supreme Court could be impartial on
(39:14):
any ruling. I mean we lookat a ruling like this one and start
parsing it and saying, oh,wow, this person ruled this way,
this one that maybe it could bethat the individual court members do follow the
constitute because often they make their theirnominators kind of mad, don't they,
Yes, they do. They do. Well. It'll be interesting to see
(39:36):
then what happens, because like yousaid, they probably they. I would
imagine a lot of these the borderagents and the Texas people, they know
each other, like you said,and it's it reminds me of but not
in a funny way kind of.But remember, oh shoot, it was
the old Saturday Morning cartoons. Itwas Sam the sheep Dog, oh yeah,
yeah, born and Ralph the laterRalph where they got a great afterward,
(40:00):
but at work they had to beat each other's throats. So that's
one of my favorite episode, oneof my favorites. I know, we
talk about the Supreme Court, now, Ralph and Sam checking in the world
the sheep Dog in the Sheep Well, Jim, we dig into the important
stuff here on WAKEP. In's areally crazy, ridiculous world, I know,
and we're so glad that you're partof it. Thanks so much for
joining us today, See you later. All right, let's get back to
(40:22):
some of the stories coming out ofthe KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Cases
of atypical canine infectious disease or spikingin La County. That is not spiking
in La County. Let's go backup here, and here's Chris. The
county's Department of Public Health isn't surewhere the disease is coming from or how
far it has spread. Fullerton RegionalVeterinary Hospitals. Doctor Erica Coreo says symptoms
(40:44):
are similar to kennel cough, exceptwith this disease, the illness lasts much
longer. Most of these diseases areself limiting, so just kind of giving
them time to recover, just likeus with the cold. You know,
there's really no cure. You justkind of have to wait it out.
Careo says she's had one case inher office in Orange County, and people
might want to keep the dogs formingling with other pups. The health department
says at least forty cases have beenconfirmed in La County. Chris Adler KFI

been accused of allowing anti Semitic messageson his social media platform x. Some
voters in New Hampshire are reportedly receivingfake robo calls that sound like they're from
(41:28):
President Biden, urging them not tovote in today's primary. You know the
value of voting Democratic on our votecount. It's important that your savior vote
for the November election. A formerNew Hampshire Democratic Party chair plans to file
a complaint over the calls with thestate attorney general and bring it to the
federal law enforcement's attention. Biden isnot actually on the ballot today. A
(41:55):
Dynamic Oscar nominated filmmaker known for Fiddleron the Roof, Moonstruck, and In
the Heat of the Night has died. Norman Jewison died Saturday at his home.
Despite his name and directing one ofthe most iconic Jewish movies of all
time, Jewison was raised Protestant inCanada. He was nominated for seven Oscars,
including three for Best Director. Hisfilms received a total of forty six
(42:19):
nominations and twelve Academy Awards. Jewisonwas ninety seven and speaking of Academy Awards,
the nominations have been announced and hereare just a few of them.
For Best Actor, Bradley Cooper fromMaestro, Coleman Domingo for Rustin, Paul
Giamatti for The Holdovers. My typingis so bad. I wrote The Goldovers
(42:43):
Killian Murphy for Oppenheimer, love him, and Jeffrey write for American Fiction.
I gotta tell you that's going tobe a tough one. I haven't seen
Rustin yet, but I've seen theother ones, and I love all those
actors. They did such a goodjob for Best Actress, and At Benning
for Niad, Lily Gladstone for Killersof the Flower Moon, Sandra Huler,
I'm saying that last name wrong forAnatomy of a Fall, Carrie Mulligan for
(43:06):
Maestro, and Emma Stone for PoorThings. I haven't seen that yet.
I need to go see that.For Best Picture, I think I got
them all. I'm named the topfive, but there's actually ten, and
they hadn't finished announcing him when Istarted talking a couple of minutes ago.
But we have American Fiction, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer,
Anatomy of a Fall, Poor Things, Zone of Interest, The Holdovers,
(43:35):
and Maestro. Oh wait, there'sone more, oh and Past Lives.

It's time for your morning wake upcall. Here's Amy King Spring bring
(00:26):
time to wake up. There's yourwake up come. I like it.
It's five o'clock on this Tuesday,January twenty third. I'm Amy King.
Thanks for starting your day with us. Well, it looks like the rain
has moved out. We're going tosee sunny skies by this afternoon. Grapevine
still may have some issues. Theyhad some nasty, nasty weather up there
(00:48):
and are still experiencing some mudslides andsuch, so if you're traveling north,
you might want to check the grapeVine first. OSCAR nominations are going to
be announced during wake Up Call thismorning. We'll be watching that for you
and get them to you. Ithink Barbenheimer expected to be big in the
nomination category. The debate was lastnight for the US Senate seat that was
(01:11):
held for decades by Dianne Feinstein,held at USC and as I've told you
before, I am a junkie forthese debates. It was kind of fun
to see because normally we see apresidential debate, you don't always see a
debate for a Senate seat. Sothey had the top four candidates. It
was Barbara Lee, Katie Porter,Adam Shiff, all Democrats, and then
(01:36):
Republican Steve Garvey. I think thatone of the key things that came out
of this debate, which was airedright here on KFI, is when Steve
Garvey said that he wasn't a politician. He said, the politicians talk down
to us. He says, Iwant to talk to people as opposed to
(01:59):
talking down to people. He saidthat he's just tired of everyone telling us
everything is okay when it's not.And they really kind of that one resonated
with me. Katie Porter made somegood points. Everything she said was it's
Washington's fault. She kind of keptgoing back to it's Washington's fault. I
think Adam Schiff just only came unhingedwhen he talked about Trump. Other than
(02:24):
that, he seemed like he wasvery rational, and and that was,
you know, had some good pointsto make. The takeaway from the whole
debate for me, which they're goingto be doing another one if you miss
this one They really did have someinteresting things to say, and I like
to hear what their stances are andthat kind of thing. But the big
takeaway that both Barbara Lee and KatiePorter seemed so angry. They're not happy
(02:47):
warriors. Again, as I mentioned, Adam Schiff only lost it when he
talked about Trump, and Steve Garveyto me, was kind of the calm
one in the room. He seemedwise and grandfatherly, but he also because
he doesn't have the uh, thepolitical acumen, he seemed like he was
(03:09):
kind of slow, like he wasthinking through his answers, which I think
is actually a good thing, butwhen you only have thirty or sixty seconds
to give your opinion, you gotto get it out there, and I
think that he was a little slowon that. After the debate, Mo
Kelly, who was part of thedebate and got to ask a couple of
questions last night, he did anafter on Later with mo Kelly and got
(03:32):
to talk to the candidates one onone and that was spectacular. So if
you missed it, you can alwaysgo to the iHeartRadio app and check out
Later with Mo Kelly. Again,his interviews after the debate were really,
really good. Here's what's ahead onwake up call. Well, this did
not last long. Almost thirty thousandfaculty and staff members at all twenty three
(03:52):
cal State campus has held the firstday of a scheduled five days strike yesterday,
but then a tenet of agreement wasreached last night, so everyone's going
to be back at work today.It includes a five percent salary increase retroactive
to last July, with another fivepercent hike in pay this summer. A
small town in New Hampshire is kickedoff the first in the nation Republican primary
by voting at midnight. Six registeredvoters in the small town of Dixville Notch
(04:17):
cast their ballots for former South CarolinaGovernor Nikki Haley. Trump's leading in the
polls. The Dow opens trading ona new high. The industrial average closed
just above thirty eight thousand for thefirst time yesterday. The SMP five hundred
also hit a record high at sixpo oh five. It is handle on
the news. Israel has offered atwo month ceasefire in exchange for the release
(04:40):
of hostages, but will Hamas gofor it. Let's get started with some
of the stories coming out of theKFI twenty four Hour Newsroom. California's top
candidates for US Senate have met faceto face for the first debate in the
race to succeed Senator Dianne Feinstein.They clashed over a request from kfi's mo
Kelly, please finish this sentence ifthe American people should choose former President Donald
(05:01):
Trump to return as commander in chief, then blank. Former baseball star Seve
Garvey said he'll decide who the bestperson for the job is when the time
comes. Congresswoman Katie Porter accused Garveyof refusing to answer California, I think
what they say is true. Oncea dodger, always a dodger, Okay.
(05:26):
Garvey said we should support the presidentand support the office. To an
answer to that question, Shiff said, if Trump is elected, then we
are rhymes with crude, and hesaid that Trump is the greatest threat to
our democracy. Lee didn't answer thequestion, and Porter says we will lose
our credibility and it'll set us backdecades in our relationships around the world.
(05:48):
The LA Homeless Count, or aHomeless Services Authority, is starting. It's
twenty twenty four Greater Los Angeles HomelessCount. The three Day Count begins tonight
in the San Gabriel and San Fernandovalley'solunteers will be in West LA, Southeast
LA, and the South Bay areatomorrow. On Thursday, counters will travel
around the Annealope Valley to Metro LAin South LA. The twenty twenty three
(06:10):
Greater Los Angeles Homeless count revealed anine percent year over year increase in homelessness
in the county and a ten percentincrease in the city. The Israeli militaries'
twenty four soldiers have been killed inone day in the Gaza Strip. ABC's
Jordana Miller says most of the deathshappened during one attack yesterday. IDEF says
twenty one soldiers killed when Hamas firedRPGs on two buildings with soldiers inside laying
(06:36):
explosives for demolition in southern Gaza,the attack setting off deadly secondary explosions that
brought the buildings down. Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Natanyahu called it one of the
most difficult days since the start ofthe war. When Hamas attacked, He
says the fighting will not stop untilthe absolute victory. The Southwest Airlines Pilot
Association has scored a victory, overwhelminglyapproving a new contract that will result a
(07:00):
result in a nearly fifty percent payraise over the next five years. The
pilots will also get an immediate raiseof just over twenty nine percent. The
twelve billion dollars deal also includes changesto work rules and scheduling, paid maternity
leave, and parental leaf and retirementplans. Let's say good morning to ABC's
senior national reporter at the Pentagon andFlaherty. Good morning, and America has
(07:25):
struck back after another Iranian backed militaryattack against a US based How did we
do? Was it successful? Whathappened? Yeah, so this is one
of the bigger attacks that are takingplace almost daily. It seems that the
US is trying to strike these hootyrebels who've been attacking commercial ships in the
Red Sea. What happened yesterday wasnot just the US, The UK was
(07:47):
also involved, other countries involved.They struck missile sites where the hoosies were
storing ballistic missiles, including in anunderground bunker. They also got radar other
conventional weapons. With this, theysay that they have significantly degraded the houthy's
ability to strike those commercial ships.Now one military official told me, you
(08:09):
know, it could happen again.We're not expecting this to be the end,
but we know that this was asuccessful attack and that we feel very
good about our ability to degrade theHouthis launch attack ability, and they have
been striking. The Houthis have beenstriking since I don't know for a couple
(08:31):
of months now how many attacks havethere been on US or US backed locations.
So military officials told me yesterday itwas more than thirty. I think
the number was thirty three attacks onthese commercial vessels in the Red Sea since
about November and November. And notall of these are US ships. Some
(08:52):
of these are other international ships.And they say that it's very concerning,
And of course, you know,the concern is when you broaden out you
look at that region as a whole. There have been more than one hundred
and fifty attacks on US forces inIraq and Syria. All of these have
a common thread, and that isthat these are pro militants that are being
bankrolled from Iran. US officials veryconcerned that this could spill out over into
(09:15):
a broader war. Yeah, andis it all Houthis or are there other
Iranian backed militant groups. So inYemen it's the Houthis, but in other
countries like Hesbola in Lebanon that theytoo are believed to be backed by the
Iranians. And then over the weekendwe have this strike against US officials at
US Air base that also was froman Iranian backed group, but different than
(09:39):
the Huthies. Okay, And inthat one, there were some US soldiers
injured, and what do we knowwhat their condition is? So we know
that they have been evaluated and diagnosedwith traumatic brain injury, that these two
service members have returned to work,that they will continue to be treated,
and then we have been told thatthat number could of course rise because of
(10:03):
the nature of brain injury if servicemembers present with symptoms. We do know
that there were seventeen rockets and ballisticmissiles that were launched at this US base,
So this was a larger scale attackthat we've seen against the US than
we have in the past, andof course US air defenses intercepting most of
those missiles, but two of thoseballistic missiles getting through and causing that traumatic
(10:24):
brain injury in the service members.Okay, And you mentioned that seventeen were
fired. Two of them got throughbecause we were able to shoot them down.
Do we have the same kind ofiron dome system that Israel has,
so, you know, we haveit on a smaller scale. But yes,
the US, you know, theydon't talk about the operational capabilities of
(10:45):
their air defenses in that region,but they do say that they believe that
it didn't necessarily fail, that itwas able to intercept most of those missiles.
But of course it only took twoto injure those service members. And
I should also add that an Iraqiservice member was also injured in the attack.
Okay, and then let's shift shiftGarres real quick and the Defense Secretary
Austin has made his first public appearancein a little while. Where was he
(11:07):
and what did he do? Sohe is appearing actually as we speak,
he's going to be appearing in avirtual meeting for the first time since he
was hospitalized with complications related to prostatecancer. You know, this caused a
big stir because he had gone tothe hospital, he was even under anesthesia
at one point, and never alertedthe White House, never told Congress or
(11:30):
the public that he had had thesehealth issues. The serious concerns about the
transparency there, but he is.His son said, you know, I
take responsibility for that. We shouldhave been more forthcoming and that you know,
he's working from home. He hasfull responsibility and duties over the armed
forces. He's successfully doing that fromhis house. He's going to be taking
(11:50):
this meeting on Ukraine from his house. That he will not be doing a
press conference. So well enough towork, but not well enough to respond
to questions from the press. Okay. And there had been talk immediately after
this happened, or when we foundout, or when the US found out,
that they were going to do someinvestigating and figure out whether there should
be some sort of a punishment orhe should resign for not being transparent.
(12:13):
Have we had any movement on thator is it still just sort of in
the works. Yeah, So thepanag I'm saying it's going to do a
thirty day review. That thirty daysis up February eighth. Of course,
we're all very interested in that.You know, we've heard from the President
who says he still has confidence inLloyd Austin. We haven't heard talk of
Secretary of Austin resigning, but ofcourse we don't have the results of this
(12:33):
review yet. It's probably going togo to Congress. First Congress, they
want him to testify, So Idon't think Republicans are going to let this
go. And of course, youknow, people will say, well,
it's you know, private, butwhen you're at this level of government responsibility,
you actually do have to be transparentabout your health issues because it's a
matter of national security and being forthcomingwith the public. Right and he's in
the line of succession for the presidency. Great he controls all armed forces across
(13:00):
the globe. So you know,they said that when he was sick,
he did transfer duties immediately to hisdefense the Deputy Defense Secretary, Kathleen Hicks,
and that she had full control.But you know what's interesting about this
whole story, she was never eventold why, and she never asked.
I mean, it really is kindof amazing that the authority could be transferred
and very few details could come out. I know, I think one of
(13:22):
my first things would be why ishe okay? That would be my question,
right, all right, And we'rea journalist, so we always ask
that question. There's that. AnneFlaherty, thank you so much for the
information today and hope to talk toyou again soon. Thank you. All
right, Let's get back to someof the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. LA Countyhealth officials are warning against consuming raw oysters
(13:43):
because of a neuro virus outbreak.LA County's Department of Health, doctor Leelo
Tessima says restaurants have been advised aboutwhat to do to slow the spread.
Anora virus is a very contagious vire. This either coffiscates the oysters or to
stop selling them. More than onehundred and fifty cases in LA have all
been linked to oysters harvested out ofMexico. To Sema says people should avoid
(14:09):
eating oysters until officials declared the outbreakis over. The armorer on the film
Rust has been removed as a defendantin a lawsuit against her, actor Alec

people to enter a crosswalk three toseven seconds before at green light, and

Gregory k if I News Voting isunderway in the first in the Nation primary
(15:37):
in New Hampshire. Polls headed intothe primary have former President Trump with a
strong lead over Nikki Haley on theRepublican side. On the Democrat side,
twenty one candidates are on the ballot, but President Biden is not one of
them. He's the first incumbent inmore than fifty years not to be on
the New Hampshire ballot. The topfour candidates in the race to fill the
late Dianne Feinstein's old Senate seat havefaced off at usc Apparently one look at
(16:02):
the candidate wasn't enough, or atthe candidates wasn't enough, because the Democratic
representatives Adam Schiff, Barber Lee andKatie Porter and Republican Steve Garvey are going
to do another debate on February twelve. Nominations for the ninety sixth Annual Academy
Awards will be announced anytime now.I expected to come out at about five
point thirty. The nominations will beannounced by Jokers, Zazi Beats and the

ZHO five. It's handle on thenews. Israel has offered up a two
month ceasefire in exchange for the releaseof hostages. Will Hamas go for it?
Right now, Let's say good morningto the host of how to Money
on KFI. It's Joel Larsguard.So, Joel, a lot of people
are lying to their spouses cheating ifyou will. Yeah, Apparently there's a
(16:49):
new bank rate survey and they didsome digging, asked a bunch of questions.
Forty two percent of adults say they'vecommitted financial infidelity, which just sounds
wrong, right, It sounds sobad, And interestingly enough, I think
there are certain types of financial infidelitythat can tarnish a relationship, that can
(17:11):
irreparably harm a relationship, and keepingbig money secrets from your spouse can Or
let's say you open up separate creditcard or something like that, and you're
doing spending that your significant other doesn'tknow about. Or you start, like
a lot of people are doing thesedays, sports gambling on your phone and
you're losing money handover fist, butyou've got this separate account and so your
significant other doesn't know about this.That mistrust when they find out and the
(17:36):
money you've lost can do significant damageto a relationship. But I just want
to say too that this term iskind of all. It encompasses, even
those minor white lies. So let'ssay you go to the grocery store and
you spend one hundred bucks on groceries, but you get twenty bucks cash back
on the way out too, viayour debit card or something like that.
That could also be considered finance infidelity. And so when we're talking about this
(18:02):
term, it's important to say thatthere are degrees, levels, and variations
of financial infidelity. I think thoselittle white lies, like you want to
be careful about those two, right, because a bunch of little white lives
can add up as well and canimpact a relationship. But I think we
see that term and we're just like, oh my gosh, this sounds terrible,
because infidelity in and of itself islike the worst thing you can do
(18:22):
in your relationship. Well, andthe Bank Create survey says that because they
didn't only ask what people were doing, but they also were saying, you
know, is financial infidelity really thatserious? And a lot of people say,
uh huh, it is. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think
it is a big deal. Andagain, to depends on the degree,
depends on your relationship depends on theterms you've agreed to. The key here
(18:45):
is communication, and I think it'sreally important if you're in a long term
relationship to be open and honest aboutthose whatever's going on, so that you
before they find out. It's alwaysworse if you keep the lie. The
longer the lie, the consequences aremore significant. And it's really important to
have regular money chats with your spouse. And I know that that sounds ridiculous,
(19:07):
but put it on your calendar.My wife and I have, and
it's not just to talk about money, but we have a standing Sunday night
kind of hang where we're talking aboutcalendar, we're talking about money, and
then we have something like once ayear where we're talking about hopes and dreams,
what do we want for our familyfor the coming year. And that
involves a lot of money discussions too. But put it on the calendar and
make fun like have a glass ofwine, make watch one of your favorite
(19:30):
shows afterwards if you want to.It doesn't have to be some three hour
ordeal. The more often you checkin, the shorter those meetings can be.
And they don't have to be drudgeryeither. Yeah, and I think
that you make such an important pointbecause I know people who are in relationships
who are doing you know, Imean, they do communicate about those things,
(19:51):
and they talk about hopes and dreamsand that kind of stuff. But
then there's also times where they goand they go, oh, I just
did got this, and don't tellthem. It's like, yeah, okay,
but if it's your money, becauselike you know, the people have
their own bank accounts, so theyshould be able to do with what they
want. But you should still keepthose lines of communication open. Well.
That's another really important point too,is when we talk about where we funnel
(20:15):
money and how we're able to accessmoney in a relationship, those things have
to be crystal clear. And sowhen you look at kind of the stats,
it turns out most couples are happierwhen they combine their finances into one
account. But that comes with areally big caveat because it's because they're able
to like share the goals of payingoff debt, of investing. The more
(20:36):
that they combine their assets, thehappier the couple typically is. But at
the same time, you have togive each other enough freedom, have at
least a number or have maybe separateaccounts where you funnel a few hundred bucks
five hundred bucks a month into thoseaccounts so that you can spend, no
questions asked, on whatever you want. And then we're not talking about financial
infidelity, but we are allowing youthe freedom to kind of do what you
(20:57):
want with some of the income that'scoming in. It doesn't all have to
go into the joint account and allbe subject to mutual decision making process.
Gotcha, So keep some of ittogether and maybe set aside some fun money
for each of you. And yougot to have that pressure release valve,
you know. Yeah, And thenyou said that there were little things,
and so I wanted to go overthe list of the bank said are possible
(21:19):
financial infidelities. And one is havinga secret credit card like you apply for
it, don't tell anybody. Anotheris spending more than the partner would be
okay with, which as we werejust talking about, I've witnessed that have
a secret debt, which might bewith the sports betting or something like that,
have a secret savings account, whichI know people who've done that.
(21:41):
I know people who've done all ofthis, and or having a secret checking
account. Yeah, I mean thoseare all problems because you're hiding money from
your spouse, or you're hiding alack of money a debt from your spouse,
and that is just clearly going tocreate conflict. And it's oftentimes it's
less about the money and it's moreabout the secretiveness. Right, So,
(22:03):
oh, hey, I screwed upand guess what I lost two grand gambling
on NFL football on the app onmy phone. Well, I think your
partner might be able to forgive youif you're able to tell them quickly and
you're able to like be honest aboutit. It's the dishonesty over a long
period of time that really does beginto degrade the trust in the relationship.
I think what's so interesting about somany of our conversations, Joel, is
(22:23):
that you talk about communication, andit seems like that is key to a
lot of money issues. I wantto just touch really quick before we run
out of time, which we alwaysdo, is that the stock market hit
an all time high yesterday over thirtyeight thousand. So what kind of reaction
are you having to that? Anddo we change anything because of this?
(22:45):
So not? Really, My wholething is think about the long term,
right and it's great that the stockmarket hit all time highs. It took
a couple of years to bounce back, but this is also a really normal
thing. We should expect downturns inthe stock market that potentially last two to
three years, and it's really importantto think about how you reacted to the
(23:06):
downturn in the stock market. Wereyou nervous, were you selling off some
of your positions, were you makingchanges to your portfolio? If so,
then you need to think long andhard about how you're positioned now so that
the next downturn doesn't catch you offguard and cause you to do something that
you otherwise wouldn't. It's fine tobe at all time highs, and actually,
(23:27):
I think a lot of people alsothink, oh, if we've just
had some sort of twenty plus percentreturn and we're back at all time highs,
well maybe I should pull back abit. I should be a little
wary that the stock market can continueto produce returns. And I understand where
that mindset comes from. But it'salso important to note that historically, when
the market produces something like a twentyplus percent return like it did last year,
(23:48):
that doesn't mean that there's an automaticpullback the next year. In fact,
the average increase in the market issomething like nine percent the year after
a massive rally like that. Sostaying the course canntinuing to do the right
thing dollar cost averaging, which isputting money in the market every single paycheck
that you get those automatic ach transfersto your IRA, let's say every single
(24:11):
month. Keep those going. Andall time highs or a bear market,
none of those things should really influencewhat we're doing day to day. We're
in it for the long haul,Joel. That's right. That's how you
build wealth. Okay. The hostof how to Money is Joel Larsgard.
You can hear him every Sunday fromnoon to two right here on KFI.
(24:32):
You can also follow him at howto Money. Joel, thanks so much.
Can't wait to hear what you haveto say this weekend. Thanks Amy.
All right, let's get back tosome of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.The cal State University System says an agreement
has been reached with the California FacultyAssociation. On day one of the faculties
planned five day strike, a statementfrom CSU says they have reached common ground.
(24:52):
The Faculty Association says the agreement includesraising the floor for the most vulnerable
faculty, say for workplaces, andexpanded parental leave. The union also says
the deal includes various salary increases,including a five percent boost for all faculty
retroactive to July last year, andthen another five percent bump on July first
of this year. A state senatorsays he's putting an end to taxes on
(25:17):
disaster settlement money. California currently addsmoney from insurance companies or utilities to people's
taxable income. Senator Brian Dally saysthe practice isn't fair here. You are
just beat down. At the sametime they're asking you after you finally got
some money to go start your life, you're getting a tax on it.
The legislature has voted to waive thetaxes on disasters for years. However,
(25:37):
Dally's bill would guarantee people won't betaxed. Dally says the bill may face
some challenges given the state's budget deficit. Like trolly k if I News,
the Supreme Court has granted the Bidenadministration's request to throw out a lower court
ruling that banned federal agents from removingthe razor wire that Texas has strung across
the border. It clears the wayfor federal officials to remove physical barriers and
(26:00):
help illegal immigrants who are struggling acrossthe Rio Grande. Well, this one
didn't last long. About thirty thousandfaculty and staff members at all twenty three
cal state campuses walked off the jobyesterday for the first day of a scheduled
five day strike. But then atentative deal was reached last night, so
everyone's going back to work today.The Dow opens trading on a new high.
(26:21):

The S and P five hundred alsohit a record high. Dry weathers

half inches forecasted at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The
top four candidates for one of California'stwo Senate seats faced off at USC Bill's
going to take a look at whatthey said and what they didn't say last
night. Right now, let's saygood more to ABC's Stephen Portnoy in New
(27:03):
Hampshire, where we're not looking ata Senate race, but a presidential race,
and voting is underway in the firstin the nation primary. That's right.
In fact, the first votes werecast at midnight here in the tiny
town of Dicksville Notch, and well, you could say Nikki Haley is off
to an early lead. She hadsix votes coming out of that six person
contest, and we'll see what happens. But Donald Trump, of course,
(27:26):
has been the front runner going intothis. Our five point thirty eight polling
average had him with about a fifteento sixteen percentage point lead over Haley,
and he's hoping to end this nominatingprocess here. He's hopeful that Nicky Haley
will lose and then get out ofthe race, and he'll be able to
consolidate Republican support behind his candidacy andgo right to the general election against President
Biden. Haley, on the otherhand, is hoping that moderates and even
(27:48):
liberally inclined, independent minded voters herein New Hampshire will come out and droves
and support her and upset Donald Trumpand a surprise the pundits, the pollsters,
the press. We'll see what happens. And she says she's staying in
until at least South Caroline, Alina. She doesn't say at least, but
she says, we're building momentum andI'm staying in and gaining support. But
(28:11):
Desanta said the same thing that hewas staying in two and that dropped out,
So that's right. And politicians willoften say that they don't want to
depress or suppress their turnout. Shesays she's spending money on ads in Carolina,
is going to go to her homestate next. It's voting in about
a month. She feels that there'stime to build momentum. But the fact
is Donald Trump is a leader inthe polls there too, and almost to
(28:33):
troll her here in South Carolina.Here in New Hampshire, he's been bringing
up on stage South Carolina's elected leaders, the governor, the Lieutenant governor,
the attorney general, the Senator TimScott, the members of the House delegation,
all to demonstrate that he has thesupport of the political establishment in her
home state. Yeah, I wantto go back to Dixville, Notch because
I know that they make a bigdeal out of it. It's six swapping
(28:56):
votes, but they're the first onesto vote for every election. It's tradition.
How often did they get it rightand how often do they get it
wrong? Or do we? Oh? I don't have the answer to that,
okay, but I will say broadly. You know, New Hampshire recently
has had a pretty good track recordas a state if you look at the
overall you know, matchups in contestedprimaries. The last time that New Hampshire
(29:22):
voted for someone other than the manwho became the Republican nominee. On the
Republican side was in two thousand,when Maverick John McCain bested George W.
Bush twenty four years ago. Butever since in twenty eight, in twenty
twelve, in twenty sixteen, whenDonald Trump won in each of those contested
Republican primaries, the way New Hampshirevoted is the way the ultimate nomination contest
(29:45):
turned out. Unlike Iowa, whichjust has all kinds of it's kind of
all over the board. Well,Iowa has not had a great track record.
They are hoping the Iowa Republicans arehoping that this year broke that streak
of for example, Mike Huckabee TedCruz Rick Santorum winning the Iowa contest.
And then, as you know,there's a saying that Nicki Haley employed here
(30:07):
and that's Iowa picks corn but NewHampshire picks presidents, and the people of
Iowa were a bit put off bythat. So at the end of the
day, look, Nikki Haley iscounting on the support of moderates and liberals,
and Donald Trump's been using that againsther. This is a primary in
which people who are not registered Democratscan take part. If you're an undeclared
(30:29):
voter, and about four and tenpeople here are, you can come out
and vote for Nicki Haley one Xfactor. And this is interesting Joe Biden,
to spite the state that has thefirst in the nation primary, he
doesn't want it to be first anymore. On the Democratic side, he wants
South Carolina to go first. Hehad withheld his name from the ballot here.
So if Democrats go and take partin the Democratic primary today, they
(30:52):
will not see the name of theincumbent president on the ballot. The leading
candidate who's been campaigning here is DemocratDean Phillips. The Minnesota Now because Dean
Phillips has been actively campaigning and totry to prevent him from winning the state,
Democratic leaders have been calling on Democratshere in New Hampshire to go to
the polls Democratic ballot and write inJoe Biden's name. If Democrats do that,
(31:18):
they won't have the opportunity to votefor Nicki Haley in the Republican primary,
because you can only pull one ballot. Be interesting to see what happens.
Hm. And the reason that theydidn't put Biden on the ballot was
because it was sort of a hey, we don't want New Hampshire to be
number one anymore, so we're notgoing to do it. Or was there
another reason that he's actually not onthe ballot. No, that's the reason
(31:42):
Joe Biden decided that. And look, remember four years ago he did not
win the New Hampshire primary. Ithink he came fourth, maybe fifth.
And I remember the morning after theNew Hampshire primary, which Bernie Sanders won
and Pete Buddha Jete came in aclose second. Everyone was saying, oh,
what's the path for Joe Biden withSouth Carolina, whether it's yeah,
predominantly black Democratic voter base, andso he decided that that should contest should
(32:06):
go first. And I was spoketo one voter yesterday at a Nikki Haley
event and she said she's inclined tosupport Nikki Haley, but she's not sure.
She said she had been a Democrat, but she's not going to vote
for Biden now. And it wasn'tbecause of the state of the economy or
world affairs. She said she wouldn'tvote for Biden because of what he did
(32:28):
to the New Hampshire primary. Ah, don't mess with people in a state.
You know, they gets territorial.That is what she said. Yeah,
okay. And whether I saw somestuff yesterday and it's sunny but it's
still cold. Is that affected orexpected to affect turn out at all?
No, I don't think so.It's mild weather here for this time of
(32:49):
the year. I think it's inthe low thirties. And that's perfectly fine
for New Hampshire. Nothing compared towhat they dealt with in Iowa. And
you dealt with because you were there, you could say that again, all
right, Steve Portnoy is they thankyou so much. If you'd like to
follow mister Portnoy, it's at StephenPortnoy. He'll keep you up to date
on what's going on. Let's getback to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The CDC says La County had one
(33:13):
of the highest numbers of m poxcases last year. Impox is a member
of the smallpox family, and anoutbreak of the virus first popped up in
the early part of last year.Health officials say from May through August and
twenty twenty three, there were fiftysix cases of mpox. That's up from
seven cases just a few months before. Of those fifty six patients who were
infected, thirty two were unvaccinated,eight partially vaccinated, and sixteen were fully
(33:36):
vaccinated. Forty eight patients reported sexualactivity three weeks before symptoms appeared. Forty
five of the men identified as gayor bisexual. Steve Gregory k if I

The primary is March fifth. Thetop two finishers in the primary will face
off for the seat in Nova.We're just minutes away from handle on the
news this morning, the CSU strikeis over after just one day. What's
(35:07):
the deal that got faculty off thepicket lines and back to class. Bill's
going to tell you right now,Let's check in with ABC's Jim Ryan.
Jim, we had a five tofour decision from the Supreme Court regarding the
border yesterday. Yeah, at fiveto four. Obviously, since nine people
sit on the court, it couldnot have been any closer. Literally,
Yeah, a five to four decisionthat clears the way for Border Patrol agents
(35:29):
to snip some of the Concertina wirethat the State of Texas has unrolled along
thirty miles of the Rio Grand thatseparates Texas from Mexico, the US from
Mexico, and so now presumably BorderPatrol agents immediately this morning can start cutting
that wire. The claim of theBorder Patrol is that the Concertina wire keeps
(35:50):
them, keeps their agents from gettingdown to the river to do their job,
and it also keeps people from safelygetting ashore. Three people drowned in
the river just last week, hundredsover the last couple of years, have
drowned. So the decision clears theway for border agents to go in cut
that razor wire. But is Texasgoing to stop them from doing that?
(36:13):
I mean, are we setting upa confrontation here or do the Texas people
who put up the razor wire juststand back. No, it's already happening
that confrontation. I mean, mysuspicion is that the Border Patrol agents and
the Texas troopers and the Texas NationalGuard there along the border are probably friendly
enough. They probably have coffee afterwork and hang out. But you know,
(36:36):
once they're in their uniforms and they'redoing their job, that's when this
kind of standoff happens. And it'sall cetered on a park, Shelby Park
in Eagle Paths at forty seven acrescity Park that the Texas National Guard has
essentially taken over, and Border Patrolagents who are trying to get access to
the river through the park are beingkept from entering that park. So you
(36:57):
do have kind of this confrontation ofthe standoff happening right there. The Concertino
wires a symbol of that. Iguess, as are these big globes,
these big four foot spheres that arethat have been put out in the river
as kind of a floating barrier.But yeah, the city Park is really
where it's going down right now.Okay, So back to the Supreme Court.
(37:19):
It was a five to four decision. The Court is six to three
conservative to not conservative, conservative toliberals, so obviously it wasn't just along
party lines, even though it neveris supposed to be right. What did
the dissenter say or what did thepeople on the side of I guess on
both sides, what are their theirarguments? Zero? There was one page
(37:45):
statement that said, this is theruling. We voted five Foytel's who voted
which way? Chief Justice? Yeah, John Roberts led the majority. Sonya,
So why arm Elena Kagan, AmyCony, Barrett Catanji Brown Jackson and
the rest of the justices were indissent. So you had them, you
know, on the one side writingfor the majority in favor of the Biden
(38:07):
administration. The others opposed. Butno, no explanation at all was offered
for the reasoning behind the ruling.That's interesting that they just don't say anything.
They just said this is what itis. Deal with it. I
do think it's interesting. And thisis just a side note, but you
know when Supreme Court justices get appointedand everybody starts freaking out saying, oh,
(38:27):
it's never going to be the sameand we need to pack the court
to make it, you know,more equal or whatever. But then you
have someone who is incredibly conservative,Amy Cony Verrett, who went with the
majority on this one. Yeah,you're right, and you've hit on something
that's been amazing to me over thelast thirty years or so that when somebody
(38:49):
appoints or names nominates a member ofthe Supreme Court, they say, this
person won't let politics stand in theway with this person will rule constitutionally.
We'll let they founding father's guide hisor her way. But in the back
of their mind they're saying, well, why would you choose this person?
Well, because they philosophically are alignedright along with you. Right. So
is it an illusion, an illusionthat a Supreme Court could be impartial on
(39:14):
any ruling. I mean we lookat a ruling like this one and start
parsing it and saying, oh,wow, this person ruled this way,
this one that maybe it could bethat the individual court members do follow the
constitute because often they make their theirnominators kind of mad, don't they,
Yes, they do. They do. Well. It'll be interesting to see
(39:36):
then what happens, because like yousaid, they probably they. I would
imagine a lot of these the borderagents and the Texas people, they know
each other, like you said,and it's it reminds me of but not
in a funny way kind of.But remember, oh shoot, it was
the old Saturday Morning cartoons. Itwas Sam the sheep Dog, oh yeah,
yeah, born and Ralph the laterRalph where they got a great afterward,
(40:00):
