• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Will is not here. He's still on vacation and Neil
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: he talked to me last night. Anne was very funny,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you know, she says, Oh, that's so sweet of you
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to talk to Neil and see how I was doing.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Matter I said, he called me, Oh, of course, why
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: would I think that you actually any case, he is.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's coming back on Monday. He has some tests and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: there's some dehydration going on as a result of his
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: bariatric surgery. He is particularly susceptible to complications. Nothing ever shattering,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and it's not like he's in trouble or anything, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: just you know, some complications and the doctors wanted just
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to relax, and it's very difficult to relax on this show,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to say the least. Tonight, the US plays Turkey. Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I saw Brazil play Scotland where everybody, all the Scots
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: got drunk and they bore the day, party and story
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: after story about Scott's partying. And I don't think they're
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: partying anymore. Maybe they do, maybe they don't care. They're here,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: they're having a ripwaring good time. They're drinking like crazy
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and My daughter is going to Scotland. Did I tell
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you she's going to school in Scotland. She is going
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to university, a University of Abertay in Dundee. And Dundee,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: now you know how cold Scotland is. Scotland is really
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: cold because it's pretty high up in terms of the latitude,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the latitudes of this earth. Dundee is at the top
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of Scotland. It's right next to the North Pole effectively,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and she is going to freeze her buns off, coming
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: from southern California and moving into one of the most
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: frigid places on Earth. Well, not quite, but it get
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: pretty cool to say the least. Okay, guys, are you
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: ready to do it? And we have some bad news
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and we will start with handle on the news. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Amy and Me until Monday, and let's do it. Lead story,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: get a massive earthquake in Venezuela, actually two earthquakes, one
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: following the other one. So far, it's reported one hundred
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and sixty four people who have been killed and nine
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy one injured. And they started just started
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to count the injured and the dead. What is interesting
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and unusual about this earthquake? It was a seven point
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: two magnitude earthquake, and then the aftershock, which usually goes
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: down substantially, went up to seven point five. And you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: think it's only three points of just three points or
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: three tenths of a point. I think it goes up
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a thousand degrees of magnitude magnitude, or certainly one hundred,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: because every point just goes up and up and up
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and up, so when they get.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Pretty increases exponentially instead of what's the other part I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: looking for?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Do I have that any new numbers as far as
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the deaths are concerned.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: No, we're at one sixty four now and almost a
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: thousand hurt. But they're also they're using their hands and
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: heavy equipment to dig through the rubble because there are
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: people underneath yelling and calling for help.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, the United States is sending crews out there.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You'll see cruise from Israel probably going countries first world
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: countries that have experience with earthquakes and natural disasters, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the US is one of them. So first responders are
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: going down there to help.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: We got teams from LA going.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, they have cadaver dogs coming down. I've always
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: wondered about cadaver dogs because it's it's pretty rough to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: drag those those dead dogs across the rubble stop.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, moving on, it's finally out. The fire that has
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: been burning at a warehouse and boil heights for more
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: than a week is out. LA Fire officials say the
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: knockdown was declared at about six pm. Cruis are now
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: transitioning to what they're calling an overhaul phase. They're going
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: to be searching the nearly five hundred thousand square foot
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: cold storage facility to find any hidden embers, to put
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: out any hotspots, and remove smoldering debris. Apparently there is
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: still smoldering debris but no active flame. And then drones
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: with infrared cameras are flying around to identify hidden heat
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: sources and allow crews to precisely direct high volume water streams.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You wonder what is in what was in this cold
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: storage facility that caused a week long fire, Well, it's
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: half a million square feet, it's enormous and cold storage.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It's food that they had in there, and what is
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it that burned for a week now? Granted, I mean
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: there are some upside. It's going to be the world's
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: biggest barbecue. That is going to come as a result
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of this, but I don't get where and what burned
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: for a week.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Well, part of it was they couldn't get inside to
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: put anything out. And you've got all that insulation because
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: it's a cold storage facility, and they literally had to
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: fight it from outside because the structure is compromised, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: because they've got these fifty five foot towers or storage
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: racks kind of like what you see at Costco, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: a lot taller, and they were literally according to Captain
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Robbie with LA Fire, who I talked to, said that
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: those storage racks were literally holding parts of the roof
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: up and it's just too dangerous to go in.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: All right, That answers that question, understood, Thank you for that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Not so fast, Okay, not so fast, President and me.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: President Trump has canceled a planned signing ceremony for a
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: landmark housing affordability bill. It passed both houses of Congress
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: in a bipartisan fashion with large majorities. He says he
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: doesn't want to sign that legislation until lawmakers passed an
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: elections bill known as the Save America Act, and he
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: posted on social media seeing today's housing news conference and
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: signing is hereby canceled until such time as we pass
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the desperately needed Save America Act, which I consider to
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: be a national emergency.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, far more than housing, which he called a minor act.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: How to make it make housing more affordable? A couple
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: things about this. This shows absolute fealty to the president
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: is necessary in the republic Party, fealty and I wonder
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: if this is going to continue on after the mid terms.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know that answer. And the argument is housing
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: is not as important as the Voter Act, where illegal
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: undocumented voters by the tens of millions are voting and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: have put are putting the Democrats in all the Democrats
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that have won in the anti Trump Democrats that have
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: won are the vote has been rigged across the board.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And we're going to hear that again. Rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: How is it that no Republican party or no Republican
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: vote has been rigged. Ever, there's no such thing as
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: a Republican rigging a an election, even when the Republican
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: goes wins in a Democratic in a Democratic congressional congressional
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: district or a seat. Well, no, I do get it,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and it's it's hard to believe, and as he said,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the party is unified, and it is. The party is
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: unified to anything he has to say. So, of course,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the people that voted, the four Republicans that voted in
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: favor of the War Powers Resolution Act, have come back
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon, voted in the morning, changed their minds
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon after Trump said I want it changed. Okay.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Venezuela wasn't the only place shaking. There were some injuries reported,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: not major injuries. But a magnitude five point six earthquake
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: hit northern California yesterday morning. It centered near Willits, which
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: is north of u Kay. It's about two two and
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: a half hours northeast of San Francisco, in a relatively
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: unpopulated area. About a dozen after shocks have rumbled through
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the area, but most of them were under a two
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: point five. The Mendocino County Executive Office says that there
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: have been some injuries but no deaths.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to find out. It's a massive, massive earthquake,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and far more than anything would happen here, particularly in
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: southern California, because the building codes there were not were
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: not at the same level. One of the things about
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: southern California, La Orange County. Is that as expensive as
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: housing is to build, part of that is probably some
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of the strictest earthquake resistant building that you can do.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And that is good news on our side.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: And we've talked to like earthquake retrofitters. It's not that expensive.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: One of the big things is just bolting down your
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: house to the foundation so it doesn't bounce off.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I had a duplex. I had a building in Hancock
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Park adjacent before the Persian Palace, and it was a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: building that was built nineteen twenty seven. It was beautiful.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: It was not bolted down. In an earthquake. It could
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: literally just slip three inches and the house is gone,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: has to be destroyed. They just it just sat on
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the foundation and we bolted it down with nice big bolts,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and then we put in something called the creep wall,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: which describes people who live in the house, and it
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: was perfect for us. Actually that's not true. A creep
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: wall is the part for the foundation and where the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: house really started being built about three four feet so
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: people didn't get under the house. That has to be
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: reinforced because that was a weak point. And I did both.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And you're right, it's not that expensive. It was about
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: three thirty five hundred dollars. I mean, it was not inexpensive.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: This was a long time ago. But you know, it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: certainly less money than the house being destroyed simply by
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: slipping off the foundation.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Jade takes the chair andres Chate has been named superintendent
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: of the La School District, just three days after Alberto
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Carvallo resigned cours he's being investigated by the FBI. The
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Board of Education announced its unanimous decision yesterday. Jade has
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: been serving as the acting superintendent since February twenty seventh,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: just two days after the FBI raided the home and
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: office of his predecessor Carvolo. All right, not much to say, Uh,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Mayor Bass is bringing in the big guns. So the
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: story starts by saying the top strategist for La Mayor
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Bass's reelection bid has left the campaign. Apparently they had
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: some strategic differences. Doug Herman has worked with Bas since
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, and already he's been replaced by Julie
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Chavez Rodriguez. She was the campaign manager for Joe Biden
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and Kamala Harris presidential campaigns in twenty twenty four. That's
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: a pretty big gun for.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's being done. So she's unhappy with where she's
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: going on this one because she's is relatively in trouble
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: for an incumbent mayor, a Democratic incumbent mayor.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: It looks like some vaccinations will be required for recruits.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: The Pentagon says boot camps for all military services are
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: once again requiring a flu vaccination for all recruits. Defense
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Secretary Pete Hegseth made the shot optional for the military
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: at the end of April, but the development of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: reinstatement of the requirement comes emit a growing week's long
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: flu outbreak at the US Air Force's boot camp at
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Lachlan Air Force Base. About three hundred people have gotten sick.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem when people are not vaccinated, what
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: they are not vaccinated for tends to come roaring back. Oh,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: like the measles. That's a little problematic. And so this
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: one was the flu. Where you know, they're they're close together,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: their their immune system. We're talking about boot campers. It's
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a tough place to be and so you know they
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: all live in very close proximity with each other. Some
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: of the gay recruits sleep in the same bed together. Okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I think that's the case. Yeah, that's probably true.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Not so much.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a don ass, don't tell, and so
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: so there it is. Hey, why are you two sleeping
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: in the same bed? I won't tell.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Getting gassed by a I. A group of drivers in
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: California has filed a lawsuit accusing some of the big
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: gas companies of using artificial intelligence to keep pump prices high.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: The proposed class action lawsuit alleges that BP, Circle, K
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: seven Eleven, Walmart, Marathon Petroleum, and Albertson all use the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: same AI powered tool from a company called Calibrate. According
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: to the lawsuit, the software pulls in data from competing
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: stations and recommends prices. The lawsuit alleges the shared software
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: let the company's prices move higher all together.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Big problem with the shermin Anti High Trust Act here,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: A big one, because you're not allowed to have collusion.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what this is about. And it doesn't
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: matter how you get there either, whether you have the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: executives sitting in a boardroom talking to each other, oh,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: let's talk, let's price gas at this at this point,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: or using AI it really doesn't matter. Okay, Moving on
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: a bit.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Hot under the collar, President Trump apparently be rated Senate
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Republicans face to face for allowing a vote to block
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the war in around the War Resolution Act. That, of course,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: further escalates a feud that has diverted Republican efforts to
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: focus on election year affordability issues. Senator Rick Scott invited
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: President Trump to speak at a GOP luncheon at the Capitol,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: and he said he was going to use that time
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: for a closed door meeting to push senators to pass
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: his proof of Citizenship voting bill, But the conversation was
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: more focused on the vote to approve the War Powers Resolution,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: and apparently he and Cassidy got into it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're screaming at each other, and that usually you
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: don't scream at the president, but this one was a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: screaming match. However, Cassidy later on changed his vote, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: again it's the fealty that the Republicans must have towards
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the president must and Cassidy will no longer be a
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: senator come January first, because Trump was able to primary.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Him out, then why would he care?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Cassidy, I don't know, you got me.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe Trump made a good argument.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah maybe, and that's exactly what Cassidy said, I just
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: need more information, and he said he got it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I think yeah. I think one of the complaints about
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the way Trump is handling this is not necessarily that
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: he should or should not have for the War Powers Act,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: is that he is not telling Congress or the American
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: people why, what, where? Well, where is easy? Or how
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: long this is going to be? We don't know at
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: The Boys in Blue make good on a pledge. The
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Dodgers have fulfilled a pledge to donate one point one
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: million dollars. It goes to the California Community Foundation and
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Labor Community Services. It's direct financial assistance for families of
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: immigrants impacted by ICE activities in the region. Joseph Thomas McKellar,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: who's the executive director of Pico, California, and he says,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers have been in LA for sixty eight years.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: They're beloved among immigrant communities in a way no other
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: sports team is. That gives the Dodgers cultural and financial
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: power in the region. He says, we applaud what they did,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: but they could do even more by exercising some leadership.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Hmm. Now this I think is going to end because
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I think the President is moving to have the Dodgers
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: declared illegal. He is not no more Dodgers. There again,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: just being Dodgers is against the law. Okay, I'm being ridiculous.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you for point. I know, I know, I just
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I always take a cheap shot when I can really
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: really Oh, great story, and thank you for putting this
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: in in the pile, because this one's just for me.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I wonder if he had some kianti with this.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Oo.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: A Hungarian hospital worker allegedly put human remains on the menu.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: He's thirty years old. Someone got it. He was a
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Police were given a tip that he was stashing human
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: body parts, so they searched his apartment and say that
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: they found a gruesome collection that included skulls, a human hand,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: a full lower leg, and even a reconstructed face made
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: from human skin. But the most stomach turning allegation came
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: during questioning, when police say the guy admitted to them
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: that he was fascinated by human body parts and confessed
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: to preparing meals from some of the remains before eating them.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Ooh remains, I know favorite meal, spaghetti and peace walls. Okay,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: moving on, looks like where was Sam oh Man?
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Looks like there were some back room talks. President Trump
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: spoke personally with the CEO of Live Nation in the
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: weeks leading up to the Justice Department's decision to abruptly
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: settle its long standing anti trust lawsuit against the entertainment
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: giant and it's Ticketmasters subsidiary that was revealed in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: court filing. Lawyers for Live Nation told the court Monday
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: that Trump and the company CEO, Michael Rappino, spoke about
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: the anti trust lawsuit in February, but says they didn't
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: discuss substantive terms of any potential settlement.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Now, Trump does talk to CEOs of companies all the time,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: so this could be innocent. However, it doesn't look like this.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, the optics are not very good. The Justice
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Department files antitrust, a phone call is made, and the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: anti trust lawsuit is dropped. Seems like a lot of
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the paramount Sky Sky Dance lawsuit and that went through.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: So the optics, the optics, said best, are not good
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and at worst a straight out collusion, straight out you
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: dropped this suit. And this is what I'll give you,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: although we don't know what Trump would be getting or
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: he's just doing this is a philosophy. I don't know
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: at this point. And do you know where I think
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: is happening, because there's too many of these conversations going
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: on where lawsuits and you've got various actions against companies
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: just straight out dropped.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, a blue collar boost goes bust. A plan to
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: set a twenty eight dollars minimum wage for some California
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: home builders when put when the industrial or the influation,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: let me start that over, when the influential trades union
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: protested it could undermine prevailing wage rates.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty eight million dollar minimum wage. And the unions
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: are against a twenty eight dollars minimum wage.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they just said it would be too high, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: they would have gotten it was an assembly bill would
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: fast track approval of townhouses and then an approved in
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: response to that or in exchange for that, the builders
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: would then have to agree to pay a higher wage
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: to the workers.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What it did is go against what the union wanted,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and that's prevailing wage for any particular job or industry.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: And they're saying it would undercot undercut wages that are
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: higher than that, and that's why they're against it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Really strange, Well, would it make everybody because of their costs?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe the people who are making higher wages would get
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: their wages lowered to procact the otherwise.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because prevailing wage is no longer the issue here. Yeah.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Another top general is retiring early. Four star Army general
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: apparently highly respected, is stepping down from his post commanding
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: soldiers in Europe and will retire as he has thus
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: far not been nominated for an new job that is
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: consistent with his rank by Defense Secretary Pete HeiG Seth.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: It's General Christopher Donna Hugh. He's the commander of US
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Army Europe and Africa. He's stepping down from command July second.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Multiple sources told CNN there has been tension between Heigsa's
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: office and Donna Hugh's office or command. Rather, No, though
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: not necessarily between the two directly.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: It's a HeiG Seth is just cleaning house with senior
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: members of the military and the rest. They're scared to death. Now.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know about the rumor that the general has
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: just bought the Subway sandwich franchise and that's where he's moving,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we don't know. Let's see, that's really not true.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: All right, that was see how what I did without Amy?
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out what you did with that one?
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: It was well, I could have been to McDonald's.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Mean, you know, any franchise could be a seven eleven.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: But I don't think I don't think that the General
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Donahue speaks FARSI. So seven eleven is off the table.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Some stinks here?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: The food in the US. Apparently there's a little controversy
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: going on because Norway brought its own food to the
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: World Cup, and so is like, why what's going on?
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Why won't you eat the US food? It's true that
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: the team did ship some products from Norway for the
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: World Cup, but the reason has nothing to do with
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: safety or quality. Apparently, so the claim is that the
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Norwegian men's soccer team brought its own food to FIFA
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: World Cup because it doesn't trust the quality of the
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: food in the US. But the team is saying, hey,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: we brought our own food because we want to keep
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: consistency in our players' diets. Nutrition experts say that that
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: kind of practice is common among elite athletes who play internationally.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Norwegian brown cheese have no idea what it's like. Yarlsbird
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: cheese is great. You know what they eat Norway? They
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: eat whale in Norway. Norway is one of the few
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: countries that is not a signatory to the International Convention
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: on Whale. On Whaling, I've had whale.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Is it good? I would imagine it's fatty.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I know, not even a little bit. It's the other
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: way around, because blubber is on the outside of the whale.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: The meat itself has virtually no fat. Is the way.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: When I was eating it, all I could think of
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: was free willie. But it's whale is and it's very
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: difficult to cook because there is zero fat in there,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: so it overcooks instantly. Yeah, it's like beef that's been
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: sitting next to liver in the refrigerator for a while.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: It's not liver, but it's sort of kind of liver ish. Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't particularly like it. I'm not a big fan
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: of liver or kidneys. Neil is a fan of kidneys.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: But let's see a one.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's what don't we just get out of here?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Yeah? And then we're going to
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: talk about the high housing bill the President refused to sign,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: and it was a bipartisan bill and a little bit
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: of politics coming up. Kf I am sixty. You've been
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my Show Monday
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: through Friday, six am to nine am, and anytime on
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
