Amy King hosts your Monday Wake Up Call. ABC White House Correspondent Karen Travers discusses President to address UN General Assembly and give a “full-throated defense of support for Ukraine. Host of ‘How to Money’ Joel Larsgaard joins Amy King on Wake Up Call to talk about why not all index funds are created equal, cell phone carrier promotions that are happening right now that are trying to entice folks into getting a new iPhone. Amy interviews Botanical Gardens Curator Brandon Tam about the Corpse Flower that is ready to bloom at the Huntington Library. The Corpse Flower is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the plant kingdom. It can grow more than 8 feet tall, blooms for only 1 to 3 days every year or so, and boasts a powerful stench when it blooms, earning the flower its putrid name. ABC News Crime and Terrorism analyst Jim Ryan wraps the show speaking on fake goods causing real damage.
