Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://s3.local.amazonaws.com/"

I am trying to run the command "aws s3 ls" and I'm getting the following response:

Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://s3.local.amazonaws.com/"

I have verified that the credentials I have set up in my credentials file have programmatic access.
My config file is set up with the following values:
[default]
region = us-east-1
output = json

I have tried setting up a new user and creating new credentials.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the cli.
Ping request could not find host s3.local.amazonaws.com.
I did get a response from ping s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what else I can try?
