  Speaker 2: as against iHeart. All right, guys, we don't have Neil today,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: but we do have Amy, we do have me, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: let's do it. It's time for Handle on the news
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: with Amy and Neil and me and lead story. The
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: President has rejected Iran's latest offer for talks. No surprise,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: as the President keeps on saying they're desperate to have
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: some kind of a deal. They're calling constantly. They really
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: want to deal. Maybe not because the latest offer from
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Iran does not involved nuclear it's nuclear capabilities, or its drones,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: or its ballistic missiles, or its support of terrorist groups
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and organizations throughout the world. It basically only has to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: do with opening up the Strait and they're not going
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to open until other other aspects have been accepted. Nope,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. We're still going to ceasefire. Remember
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the ceasefire was going to end tonight. I was going
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to end on Wednesday, it was going to end next week,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and then it's going to end whenever it ends. So
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: right now, the ceasefire continues on and extended, and a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: duration of which no one has any idea while talks
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: are going on, and there's a lot going on with
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that which I'm sure we're going to explore big time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Iran says it put forward a generous proposal.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Of course it did.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: That's their comment today.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yea, naturally, Yeah, Trump's not going to walk away with
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this one without being stained somewhat because the Strait of
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Horn moves, which has never been closed. It's been an
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: international waterway, even though Iran clearly has the ability to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: shut it down, as it has just been proven, it
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: never did shut down the strait, and now not so
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: good now, And the longer this goes on, the more
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the president is going to be blamed for it, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: legitimately so, because it was an arbitrary decision that he made. Now.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I happen to agree with shutting Iran's ability for nuclear
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: weapons down and keeping its enrichment program going, but he
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: didn't do it so well. He woke up one morning
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and said this is what we're doing. He did not
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: converse or coordinate any aspect of this with our allies,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: which we don't have anymore anymore. In Western Europe. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I think that's where he's going to get nailed, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: didn't anticipate, did not anticipate Iran having this kind of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: fortitude Iran, remember it was the army has been obliterated.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Its ability to deal with or enrich enrich uranium has
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: been obliterated, Its ability to fight has been obliterated. We
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: won the war the first hour. They're desperate to have
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a peace talk. Yeah, not so much, not so much.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, they're back.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Seventeen Americans have been flown back to the US after
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: they were finally allowed to get off that cruise ship
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: that has suffered a hantavirus outbreak. So the ship anchored
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: in the Canary Islands after some back and forth because
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Canary Islands said no, we don't want you pulling up
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: to port here, but Spain said yes, they're going to.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: So then they had medical personnel in hasmat gear and
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: breathing masks escorting the people off the ship to shore
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: in tana Reef. And then the passengers from nineteen different
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: countries all got on their respective planes and have been
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: flown home. We got seventeen of them there in Nebraska.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: At the medical Center, which has I think one of,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: if not the most sophisticated quarantine medical facility in the country.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And one of the seventeen has tested positive for
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: hantavirus but isn't showing symptoms. Another person has mild symptoms
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: but it hasn't been confirmed yet if they have the virus.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And the French lady is the one who has been
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: tested and has come down with pretty severe symptoms, Do
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I have that right?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, these two have a lot to talk about. President
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Trump and Chinese President Hijin Ping are going to be
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: discussing Iran, Taiwan, ai nuclear weapons and more. Trump's making
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: a two day trip to China. It's their first face
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: to face talks in more than six months. Trump arrives
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: in Beijing on Wednesday ahead of talks set to take
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: place Thursday and Friday. It's going to be for his
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: first trip to China since twenty seven.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Team.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's be a lot to talk about. The United
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: States is really looking at some big issues, as is China.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But I think it's the US going to be asking
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: China for a lot more than China is going to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: be asking for the US. The big deal is going
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to be Iran. Well, actually they are all big deals.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You have the Iran situation, and keep in mind that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: what ninety percent of Iranian oil is sold to China
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and they are considered allies. And then you have the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: rare earth that China controls, I think ninety percent of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the world market for that. Without rare earths, you can't
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: manufacture cell phones, a lot of electronics, so there's a lot.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Then you have the balance of the balance of trade
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: where the US by so much more than China does
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: of our products, and so's it's going to be very interesting.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens on that one.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Pete Hegxas says Senator Mark Kelly is at it again.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called for Senator Kelly to
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: be investigated over some comments he made about US weapons stockpiles.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: He was on Face the Nation. Kelly was on Face
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: the Nation talking about US we stockpiles amid the Iran
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: warr and Kelly is accused by Hegseth of blabbing on
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: TV about a classified Pentagon briefing.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Kelly said, go ahead, go ahead.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Oh just that Kelly had said after he had had
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: those briefings about tomahawks and atacms's and Patriot rounds. He
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: found it shocking how deep we've gone into these magazines,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: saying we've used up a lot of them.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yep, and you know it's true. He did say that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: our munitions are way down after reading about it in
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the New York Times, watching stories about it on CNN,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: did the all kinds of internet, what posts all over
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it is common knowledge and what Hegseth is saying, oh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you said that we have munitions and we have a
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: dearth musician of munitions. Therefore you've violated some kind of law.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's crazy. I mean just it's insanity what
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: they're doing. You know, it's so ham handed. You would
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: think that they'd be a little bit more sophisticated about that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Find something else instead of pure stupidity going against Mark Kelly.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So this is investigation number two. When this thing disappears,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: which it will very very quickly, then there'll be investigation
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: number three and four. And of course the administration says,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: oh no, no, this isn't retaliation at all. This is
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: just legitimately being concerned with our national Securityugh Tricia nuts
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Taken on the DOJ.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Former President Biden apparently plans to intervene in litigation to
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: block the Trump administration's efforts to release seventy hours of
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: partially redacted audio recordings of interviews that Biden conducted in
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: twenty seventeen with a ghost writer. So Justice Department attorneys
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: say they've set a deadline of tomorrow for Biden to
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: take the legal action to block the release and hold
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: off on any disclosures of those seventy hours of tapes.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I wonder what those disclosures are. I mean,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: if they dealt with national security, I can see that
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: anything that would be involved. But are they simply dealing
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: with his book writing that he's going to release a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: book clearly, and so I don't know. And where do
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you go with this?
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: It's probably about his mental capabilities. Can some of this
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: come out already?
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Cases of it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: And they where he was confused and that kind of stuff,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: And so that's what.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: They want to actually, you know, again, let's this very
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: ham handed stuff. You know, we have a lot going on, guys.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You want to, you know, talk about something that's serious.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: The bodies of two of at least one US soldier
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: has been found. One of the Americans who apparently fell
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: off a cliff while in Morocco has been recovered. First
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Lieutenant Lamont Key Junior was one of two US service
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: members who went over the cliff a week ago in
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: waters off Morocco's Southern Course coast. The other person hasn't
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: been found yet. They haven't identified who that is, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: they are continuing to look for him now.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And there was an accident they were sightseeing. Both of
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: them fell into the water. I think one of them
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: fell into the water and then the other one tried.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: To rescue him and the other one jumped in.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you know how many there are. There
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: has to be several accidental deaths throughout the year when
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: you have armed forces in the hundreds of thousands of people.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: So I'm wondering why this has become such a big deal,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: not that it's not a big deal, but why this
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: story has legs. And I've often asked that of you, Amy,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: because there may be half a dozen out there right now,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and one of these has just captured the imagination of
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: news outlets.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: It may be because it happened during training exercises that
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: they were doing with NATO forces, and I think at
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: first they didn't know that. It happened during off duty
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: time while they were out.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: On a hike.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, And right now NATO is the topic of conversation.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Whether we're going to stay in it or the president
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: is going to pull us out of NATO. That's up
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: in the air too.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: An actor could get life in prison. Nick pass Squal,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: he appeared on How I Met Your Mother, has been
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: found guilty of attempted murder. He apparently tried to kill
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: makeup artist and ex girlfriend Ali Sheehorn. It happened in
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: May of twenty twenty four. He stabbed Sheehorn, his ex girlfriend,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: in her home and Shadow Hills up to twenty times,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and then was caught at a border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Could get life in state prison for that one.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, stabbing someone in multiple times generally does it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: It's hard to argue that I really didn't do it. It
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: was sort of an accident. No, No, it's pretty serious stuff.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Chat gpt A killer open AI is being sued by
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: the family of one of the people killed in the
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: April twenty twenty five mass shooting at Florida State University.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Two people were killed. The lawsuit claims that open AI's
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: chat gpt enabled the attack. It says that the shooter's
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: extensive conversations with chat gpt contributed to the murders. The
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: suit says that open ai failed to effectively detect a
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: threat and claimed that the chatbot either to effectively failed
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: to connect the dots or was never properly designed to
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: recognize a threat.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Then I think if this goes forward, everybody who
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: has received some any kind of advice on how to shoot,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: where to shoot, where to get a gun, any kind
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: of was considered help at all, they should all be
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: arrested or sued. Where do you think this one's going
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: to go? How about no place? Huh?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Scared out of the jungle. Political consultant Steve Maviglio has
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: filed an application with state officials to alter California's voting system.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: You know, we have a jungle primary now, where the
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: top two finishers in a race go on to the
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: general election, regardless of party. Well, Maviglio filed this application
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: to switch it back to a traditional primary, where the
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: top candidates from each party would advance to the general election.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Why the change now, Well, because there's a distinct possibility
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: that two Republicans could be the top finishers in the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: June primary election for governor of California, which would mean
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: only Republicans running in a heavily Democratic state.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, because you have five people running for governor
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: in the Democratic Party and two on the Republican side,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and one may well the five if they split up
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the vote, they cannibalize each other and guess what, they
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: don't have enough votes for the one Republican that is
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: going to get it, and if one drops out then
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: there's no issue. And of the five, even though it
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: looks like a couple have broken out, you're going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: have the only way that's going to work is to
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: have the rest of the Democrats say, Okay, we're giving
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it up and we're going to endorse the one or
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: two Democrats left. And they passed this because this was
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: a Prop. Forty I think, in which the imccotic party
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, fifty fifty, that's close twenty thirty forty whatever,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and in which the Democrats figured out, well, let's get
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: just two Democrats. We'll never get a Republican aboard. Boy,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: is that backfired?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Oh? Wait?
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Prop fifty was redistricting.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Sorry, never do that again. Okay, a little confusing. We
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: have a lot of.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Props Amazon is slow in its role on high speed
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: e bikes. Amazon has agreed to stop selling certain e
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: bikes in California that go faster than state speed limits.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: California's Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a consumer alert last
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: month highlighting a rise in deaths related to crashes of
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: electric bikes and motorcycles. They said, if you want to
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: ride a motorcycle or a moped, you have to have
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: an appropriate driver's license, you have to comply with rules
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: of the road. And Bonta's alert stated that some pedal
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: assisted e bikes are not supposed to exceed twenty eight
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: miles by per hour, and others are supposed to only
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: go twenty miles per hour. But Amazon been selling them
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: and they go forty miles per hour.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And which are the ones that can be modified?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: That's the other issue. If Mamazon sells a bike that
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: is manufacturer to go twenty eight miles an hour or below,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that people buy them and modify them. That's another issue.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: But it's true. I mean, we've all seen those crazy kids,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: well those kids on the e bikes, you know, doing
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: wheelies and cutting in front of traffic and going between cars. Yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I mean they're crazy, those kids.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Runover on the runway. A Frontier passenger jet has hit
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: a person who's trying to cross the runway at Denver
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: International Airport. They've released the security video showing. It's black
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and white showing someone kind of strolling across the runway
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: right as a Frontier jet is getting ready to take
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: off and it hit him and killed him.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Does this sound like he was sucked into the engine
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: When you talk about the engine catching on fire as
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: supposed to be run over, Sure sounds that way. And
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the engine, Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Because I was wondering how it would start an engine fire.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well I think which adds to the story
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: is this guy who walked across the runway is a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: magician who said just before now you see me, Now
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you don't.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Bad?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Does that almost work?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Yes? Almost?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, came close.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: As KNO just played, it's time to get on the
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: road again. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has taken a road
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: trip across the country. It's called The Great American Road Trip,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: five part reality series to air on YouTube to celebrate
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: the United States two hundred and fiftieth anniversary follows Duffy
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: as he, his wife and their nine kids cross the country.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: The motto is to love America is to see America,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: and of course he's already under attack for that, the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: show drawing criticism from those who call it tone deaf
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: because average fuel prices are more than four to fifty
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: a gallon in the US, of course, is up to
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: six twenty two here in La. Former Transportation Secretary buddhaj
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Edge was one of the first to pile on, saying
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: this is brutally out of touch.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Now I have a question, and I've often said, I've
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: often asked this question, how does President Trump choose a
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: cabinet member? We know the number one criteria is complete
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: absolute loyalty to the president, having absolutely no independent thought whatsoever.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: It's whatever the President says goes. So you're not looking
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: at any cabinet member who has any kind of independent thought. Okay,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: that's reason number one. Reason number two, does the potential
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: candidate has that potential candidate had a show on Fox?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: And if the answer is yes, the chances of a
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: cabinet appointment are increased dramatically. And here we go, I mean,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: give me a break, would you please? Now? It can
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: we argue that Pete Boodhagic didn't have any transportation experience,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: which is true. He was actually he was the mayor
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: of Indianapolis. Wasn't that has claim to fame. He came
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: in as the mayor, and so you don't need credentials
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: to be the president. Donald Trump won the presidency with
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: absolutely no political experience whatsoever.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: He was the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: There it is okay, it's close Indianapolis, South Bend, Indiana.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: That both cities that we know nothing about or I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: know nothing about. But there have been plenty of presidents
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: who have not had any elected experience whatsoever, and some
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: have had almost none, Abraham Lincoln being one, Dwight Eisenhower
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: having no experience. I think Andrew Jackson didn't have experience
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: in terms of elected office or administrative work. Dwight Eisenhower
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: had never been elected to an office, but plenty of
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: management experience, having run the Allied forces in World War Two.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: So well, good idea to have a Fox show, not
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a show on MSNBC or CNN. That pretty well precludes
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: you from ever being a cabinet member.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Dead on a train.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Six people have been found dead on a cargo train.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: It happened or they were found in a box car
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: near a railyard in Laredo, Texas. The ages of the victims,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: the origin of the train, origin of the train not
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: immediately released. Temperatures in Laredo yesterday hit a high of
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: ninety seven degrees, but official haven't said if that's what
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: caused the deaths.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: They're investigating, and.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: We don't know how long they were dead in the
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: box car, and then there is no word about why
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: they were in the box car. But it's pretty obvious
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: that they were trying to snink across the border. I mean,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: that's sort of I think a given, and we'll see
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: what happens. At this point, they're still investigating, which is
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: legitimate saying we're investigating it and we don't we don't
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: have an answer for you.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Things got little heated over hot dogs. A fight broke
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: out between two street vendors early yesterday morning at the
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: corner of Santa Monica and San Vicente Boulevards in West Hollywood.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Apparently it's over a turf dispute because that's a prime
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: hot dog kart location. Larry Block owns the nearby business
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: block Party, who described the situation as turf wars light
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: the ongoing concerns among local business owners about unlicensed street
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: vendors and.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: The politics of this having these street vendors on the
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: street period, the politics of that because the city city
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: council issues permits for street vendors to be on the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: street selling hot dogs and fruit, et cetera. And the
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: businesses around there are not very happy about it. But
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the politics around this also, you think they have more
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: turf wars. Remember the story we did about the Batman.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: The Batman fight at the Chinese theater where these people
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: dress up in various costumes of superheroes. You can take
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: pictures and you pay twenty bucks or fifteen dollars, and
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: you have foreign tourists who snapped these pictures. And remember
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the two Batmen were just beat each other senseless and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: were carted off to the hospital. That was a great story.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy that. Do we have time for what
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: more we did? Yeah? We do.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Now that's a rock. A massive ruby has been unearthed
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: in Burma. It's being hailed as the second largest ever.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Of course, Burma a conflict ridden country. The ruby weighs
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: about eleven thousand carrots. That's four zero point eight pounds.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Was discovered in the Mandalay region, So it's half the
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: size of another ruby that was discovered in nineteen ninety six.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: That one was twenty one thousand, four hundred and fifty carrots.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: But apparently this new one could be even more valuable
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: because it's got a higher quality.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this one is about five pounds.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: And they don't look very pretty in their original form.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Well, very few do. When you look at, for example,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: a diamond in the rough, it looks pretty rough and
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: then it's cut into carrots. Facets never figured out how
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the carry. There is a background as to why they
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: call it a carrot, and I used to know that,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: but I don't because my memory is fase at a
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: very rapid pace. Okay, coming up, we talked about this earlier.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: The all GOP governor's race may have two Republicans running
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: for governor in the general election. How is that possible.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'll explain that one when we come back. KFI Am sixty.
