- 0:42Speaker 2: we are already at hump day, which means medical news
- 0:45Speaker 2: for doctor Jim Keeney, who joins us at eight thirty
- 0:50Speaker 2: this morning, as he always does. But before it's July eighth,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and before we go on anything in the soccer news,
- 1:00Speaker 2: I think Switzerland won and they're now going to the quarterfinals.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Argentina eked out, I mean eked out. It's it's wind.
- 1:14Speaker 4: It was a heartbreaker.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah, over Egypt. I'm not a big fan of Egypt.
- 1:19Speaker 2: They I'm not a big fan of Argentina either, so
- 1:24Speaker 2: frankly I wanted both of them to lose, which is
- 1:26Speaker 2: kind of difficult to do. All right, Hello Cono, good morning,
- 1:30Speaker 2: good morning William Ah, Yes.

- 1:37Speaker 3: Dodger blue?
- 1:38Speaker 5: Sure?
- 1:39Speaker 1: Or is that just blue?
- 1:40Speaker 4: You know what? It's all Dodger blue to me.

- 2:02Speaker 2: and good morning, Good morning Bill, okay, And Will Will coleswriiverer.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Will, I just, first of all, good morning to you.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Good morning Bill.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I got an email about you this morning, or actually
- 2:13Speaker 2: it came to me. I don't generally read my emails,
- 2:16Speaker 2: but I was informed about this email. No, it was
- 2:21Speaker 2: as someone who really defended you and said that handle
- 2:25Speaker 2: You've got to stop making fun of Will's weight. I mean,
- 2:30Speaker 2: you've gone right into defamation and you could sue you.
- 2:34Speaker 2: And I said, do you ever listen to Handle on
- 2:37Speaker 2: the law case. Well, no, it's a very good case.
- 2:40Speaker 2: But the point is as the defense defamation is the
- 2:44Speaker 2: absolute truth that if you the truth, you.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Just find a way to be a bigger day. You're
- 2:54Speaker 1: going to go. My first bit of evidence, your honor.
- 2:58Speaker 1: All right, will stand up on a scale.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Yeah, let's start with the fact is will are you
- 3:05Speaker 3: Jewish or not?
- 3:06Speaker 1: I am not Jewish?
- 3:07Speaker 3: No, okay, prove it to me.
- 3:12Speaker 4: There's got to be other ways to prove it, right.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Oh good lord, No, no really, I mean that's absolute okay,
- 3:19Speaker 2: not just emails.
- 3:20Speaker 1: By the way, we get tons of talkbacks of people
- 3:23Speaker 1: that are pissed off when you do that.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Oh stop it, everybody, Come on.
- 3:27Speaker 1: You know. Auto line is you were once much bigger
- 3:30Speaker 1: than all of us combined.
- 3:31Speaker 3: So it's okay. So that's the point.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the point, which is why and I
- 3:37Speaker 2: and and this is legit that I've never and will
- 3:43Speaker 2: not date heavy set women because I was so heavy
- 3:46Speaker 2: set that I was just one of those things in reaction.
- 3:50Speaker 2: So that's why Lindsay is this tiny little thing. It's
- 3:55Speaker 2: just also, did you know that Lindsay wanted to convert
- 4:00Speaker 2: to Judaism to I ever tell you that.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Story many times?
- 4:04Speaker 2: Okay, all right, thank you, we're done. You know that
- 4:09Speaker 2: that's what happens at home too.
- 4:10Speaker 3: I've run out of stories that I can repeat, you know,
- 4:13Speaker 3: doing this.
- 4:14Speaker 2: It's going to be thirty three years next month that
- 4:18Speaker 2: I've been doing this in the morning, and yeah, I've
- 4:21Speaker 2: just repeated every story fifty two times.
- 4:24Speaker 1: No, I've known you for thirty years and I've heard
- 4:27Speaker 1: every story a hundred times.
- 4:29Speaker 2: That's true, That's absolutely true. All right, hello, yeah, No,
- 4:37Speaker 2: there's just no more stories. I don't know what else
- 4:39Speaker 2: to say at this point. No, I'm just I'm just
- 4:41Speaker 2: done talking. No, yeah, it is I'm just done. I'm
- 4:44Speaker 2: just done. Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, why don't we play

- 5:06Speaker 1: You don't know?
- 5:07Speaker 2: Oh, you don't know the lunchbox story.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Wow, lone the ok Yeah, yeah, it's a whole story.
- 5:18Speaker 2: And I will I'm not going to do it this morning,
- 5:20Speaker 2: but the lunch box story. Next time we do an
- 5:24Speaker 2: immigrant story, new immigrant, illegal, immigrant story, I will share
- 5:29Speaker 2: my lunchbox story with you, because that is wow. There's
- 5:33Speaker 2: actually people on the show that have not heard my
- 5:35Speaker 2: lunchbox story. Neil, of course, has been with me for
- 5:38Speaker 2: thirty years, so he's if I do it once a year.
- 5:42Speaker 2: He started thirty times. Cono, you're looking at me. Have
- 5:46Speaker 2: you heard the lunchbox story?
- 5:48Speaker 1: No?
- 5:49Speaker 3: Oh ay, lunchbox story.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I don't think I have.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Oh well, of course, hasn't heard the lunchbox story? Too
- 5:58Speaker 2: soon on the show Lunchbox Story? Yeah?
- 6:01Speaker 3: No, wow?
- 6:04Speaker 1: Just say yes people, Wow?
- 6:07Speaker 3: Is that worth? Hold on, man, is that worth a segment?
- 6:12Speaker 1: Now?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Okay? I certainly says that one.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Although actually it has a lot to do with mental illness,
- 6:21Speaker 2: of which I am a big proponent of having mental illness,
- 6:24Speaker 2: not dealing with it, mind you. Uh, I'm a big
- 6:28Speaker 2: officionado of mental illness. Okay, guys, I think we're ready
- 6:33Speaker 2: to go. Oh okay. Have you heard the story? Yes,
- 6:39Speaker 2: many times? Cono, you know what you just did to me?
- 6:45Speaker 2: You just destroyed my life the biggest compliment. Good wow,
- 6:52Speaker 2: all right, guys, let's do it.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Time for handle on the news, Amy, Neil and me lead. Sorry, Well,
- 7:05Speaker 5: the lead story today is I'm thinking of doing the
- 7:07Speaker 5: lunch box story. But the second most important story is
- 7:12Speaker 5: it looks like the Iran deal is collapsing. It's probably
- 7:17Speaker 5: over Oil prices jump as you would expect, stocks drop,
- 7:22Speaker 5: now oil prices they rose six percent.
- 7:26Speaker 3: They're above seventy eight dollars a barrel.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Big deal. The pre war price was seventy two bus
- 7:33Speaker 5: dollars a barrel.
- 7:34Speaker 2: So at seventy six dollars seventy eight dollars a barrel,
- 7:37Speaker 2: that's just the vagaries of the market that happens all
- 7:40Speaker 2: the time. So I'm kind of surprised that it hasn't
- 7:44Speaker 2: gone up substantially, but so be it. And then when
- 7:50Speaker 2: you talk about gasoline prices, which usually are slower going down,
- 7:56Speaker 2: it's a great, great story or great saying about gasoline.
- 8:00Speaker 2: They rise like a rocket and fall like a feather,
- 8:03Speaker 2: and that's what normally does happen. So anyway, the point is,
- 8:07Speaker 2: I'll do this story more at seven o'clock. And the
- 8:11Speaker 2: President being the president, this is the part about the
- 8:14Speaker 2: President that I absolutely love, is his response to it.
- 8:18Speaker 3: The posts on through social.
- 8:24Speaker 4: Maybe forget London bridges. We have midtown buildings falling down.
- 8:32Speaker 4: Structural columns speak to building in midtown Manhattan on forty
- 8:38Speaker 4: second Street started buckling yesterday. Officials say that damaged building
- 8:43Speaker 4: has stopped moving enough for contract just to start installing
- 8:47Speaker 4: temporary shoring.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Do you see the video of those walls.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I mean those walls are buckled, the steels structure buckled.
- 8:57Speaker 3: I heard brick floor twenty one, floor twenty two.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Who I mean, this thing could come down and that
- 9:02Speaker 2: becomes a little problematic for the people that bought this
- 9:05Speaker 2: building turning it into condos.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the old Pfizer building. And I was
- 9:12Speaker 4: just talking with Sasha Peasant with ABC about it. And
- 9:18Speaker 4: part of the problem, apparently or potentially is because they
- 9:22Speaker 4: added on to the building, so they added more floors
- 9:26Speaker 4: because they're converting it into luxury condos.
- 9:28Speaker 2: And why I don't get how that could even happen,
- 9:34Speaker 2: because before you could do that, structural engineers have to
- 9:37Speaker 2: come in and provide the city all the math.
- 9:43Speaker 3: And did How is it possible unless.
- 9:47Speaker 2: The columns themselves were defective and maybe bad steel was
- 9:53Speaker 2: put in. I find this fascinating and I don't know
- 9:55Speaker 2: how this happened, but anyway, the building was about to
- 9:58Speaker 2: collapse of collapse. Buildings in the immediate area were evacuated.
- 10:04Speaker 2: But now it looks like they have shored up the
- 10:05Speaker 2: building and it looks like it's reasonably okay.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to move in there.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I'll bet you the prices there have certainly dropped.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet there's politics involved, and they're pushing for
- 10:18Speaker 1: this thing to be done and they're cutting corners. That's
- 10:21Speaker 1: just me.
- 10:23Speaker 3: These are existing columns that were holding it up.
- 10:27Speaker 2: So, yeah, we don't know, we don't know enough about.
- 10:32Speaker 1: It, all right. So we all heard about the chaos
- 10:36Speaker 1: on fourth of July, four hundred and two arrests there
- 10:39Speaker 1: in Newport Beach. They were still trying to sort things
- 10:42Speaker 1: out and figure out what the hell was going on.
- 10:44Speaker 1: New details emerging. Of course, these large, aggressive crowds they
- 10:50Speaker 1: kind of filled the beach on Saturday and caused massive
- 10:54Speaker 1: chaos with illegal fireworks and all kinds of routing. This well,
- 11:02Speaker 1: they think that the vast majority of these people came
- 11:05Speaker 1: from to Newport Beach from out of state Arizona and Nevada,
- 11:08Speaker 1: where the two main locations they're talking about. And this
- 11:12Speaker 1: is based on the fact that those four hundred and
- 11:14Speaker 1: two people that were arrested, the vast majority of them
- 11:18Speaker 1: were miners and from out of state.
- 11:22Speaker 2: This is one of those things that where people disrupt
- 11:26Speaker 2: our lives. I mean, if a bank is robbed, for example,
- 11:29Speaker 2: it's a bank and if a burglar breaks in, usually
- 11:32Speaker 2: it's a house.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:35Speaker 5: This screws up everybody and everything. It's like graffiti. These
- 11:40Speaker 5: people are arrested, you get twenty five to life for
- 11:43Speaker 5: doing this.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Well, you know it's nuts, is you say that? But
- 11:46Speaker 1: it goes even beyond the beach. There was a what
- 11:51Speaker 1: do they call that stay in place or whatever order,
- 11:54Speaker 1: so shelter in place, So people weren't even allowed to
- 11:58Speaker 1: go out of their own homes to go get dinner
- 12:01Speaker 1: somewhere else, not even at the beach because they were
- 12:05Speaker 1: The city was basically on lockdown.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just and it's getting far worse too, isn't
- 12:12Speaker 3: that pleasant?
- 12:13Speaker 2: Uh?
- 12:14Speaker 4: Well, Americans are learning to love the other football. The
- 12:18Speaker 4: US game against Belgium in the round of sixteen at
- 12:22Speaker 4: the FIFA World Cup has set another record. It's the
- 12:25Speaker 4: most watched soccer match in US history. Thirty million people
- 12:30Speaker 4: on average watched the game. Course it was Belgium beating
- 12:35Speaker 4: Team US four to one, but the audience peaked at
- 12:37Speaker 4: more than thirty six point eight million people between six
- 12:41Speaker 4: point fifteen and six thirty hour time, which is about
- 12:45Speaker 4: the time that Belgium scored their first goal against US.
- 12:50Speaker 4: By comparison, the most watched Super Bowl was in twenty
- 12:52Speaker 4: twenty five. It averaged one hundred and twenty seven point
- 12:57Speaker 4: seven million, so, you know, just one hundred million more.
- 13:00Speaker 1: I will tell you that it does feel like Americans
- 13:03Speaker 1: have been bit with football season or you know, I'm.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Totally obsessed with it. That's what I watch every day now.
- 13:11Speaker 1: I think it's good. Yeah, it's fun, great, great global sport.
- 13:16Speaker 3: It is a little boring though, scoring more well.
- 13:21Speaker 2: First of all, one zero two zero tie is the norm.
- 13:26Speaker 2: A game that has four or five goals is aberrational, right.
- 13:30Speaker 4: So like the game yesterday between Switzerland and Columbia, you
- 13:34Speaker 4: just watched them running up and down the pitch for
- 13:37Speaker 4: ninety minutes or actually more like one hundred minutes and
- 13:40Speaker 4: no scores.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you look at it, yeah, you can
- 13:46Speaker 2: look and see the strategy where they pass back and
- 13:48Speaker 2: forth and then the kicks into the goal, the headers.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Occasionally you see a bicycle kick where they go up
- 13:56Speaker 2: in the air and backwards. Oh, it's just those are phenomenal.
- 14:01Speaker 2: And what they can do with the ball with the
- 14:04Speaker 2: English on it and twist the ball around and it's
- 14:06Speaker 2: kind of neat. But for the most part, it's ninny minutes. Also,
- 14:10Speaker 2: they kind of shape these guys are in. They are
- 14:12Speaker 2: running for ninety minutes, moving on.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Okay, I thought you were going to get into their
- 14:23Speaker 1: big strung legs and you were having them.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I have Well, let me put
- 14:28Speaker 2: it this way. I have a very hard time watching
- 14:30Speaker 2: a game without a direction.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Okay, bad dog, all right. A federal agent shot and
- 14:38Speaker 1: killed a man from Mexico during a traffic stop in
- 14:40Speaker 1: Houston just yesterday morning. The acting Director of Ice came
- 14:47Speaker 1: out with this statement. His statement said that the driver
- 14:50Speaker 1: had weaponized his vehicle and tried to run over the
- 14:54Speaker 1: agent who fired at him, and he went to the
- 14:59Speaker 1: hospital and later died.
- 15:02Speaker 2: So the yes, problem is anybody here's the problem, is
- 15:04Speaker 2: anybody believe it to the statement because so far there's
- 15:07Speaker 2: been a few of those, and the video shows exactly
- 15:10Speaker 2: the opposite. And so let's see the video. You would
- 15:15Speaker 2: think they would release the video instantly and show what happens.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Wait, which one showed the opposite?
- 15:24Speaker 3: Oh?
- 15:24Speaker 2: The two Uh, the two that were run over that
- 15:27Speaker 2: ice killed, that woman went in Minneapolis.
- 15:31Speaker 5: Uh.
- 15:31Speaker 2: And the guy who was shot and he was was
- 15:37Speaker 2: he on the ground No, he was. Oh yeah he was.
- 15:39Speaker 2: He had a weapon on him, but he never brought
- 15:41Speaker 2: it out. And he was accused of having a weapon,
- 15:45Speaker 2: remember Christinome, which he said weaponizing and tried to kill
- 15:49Speaker 2: ICE agents. Yeah, that's the problem is uh, it's right now.
- 15:56Speaker 2: The credibility of ICE is is is so low. Okay,
- 16:00Speaker 2: he weaponized his car. Here's the video, all right under wraps.
- 16:11Speaker 4: The LAPD is not releasing the identity of the officer
- 16:15Speaker 4: who shot and killed a Golden Saint berdoodle last month
- 16:19Speaker 4: in Canoga Park, citing threats to the officer's life. Now
- 16:23Speaker 4: you'll remember this. Police responded to reports of a woman screaming.
- 16:28Speaker 4: It turned out that she was screaming because she was
- 16:30Speaker 4: excited about the Knicks winning the NBA championship, and she
- 16:35Speaker 4: had a large, one hundred pound dog named Jamison, and
- 16:41Speaker 4: the officers ended up shooting and killing the dog. State
- 16:44Speaker 4: law and court rulings require law enforcement agencies to release
- 16:48Speaker 4: the names of officers involved in on dut TO shootings
- 16:51Speaker 4: except in cases of a proven threat, and LAPD says
- 16:55Speaker 4: there are threats against this officer.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Oh leah, that is what is mean.
- 17:00Speaker 2: There are threats where their statements are their emails, and
- 17:03Speaker 2: those should be released obviously without names being given. I mean,
- 17:08Speaker 2: the evidence has to be produced these days, because.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Who believes What about the fact that they kept saying,
- 17:13Speaker 1: over and over, control your dog, control your dog, control
- 17:18Speaker 1: your dog.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Okay, but here is okay, here is the story is read.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Because you're right, if if a police officer a police officer,
- 17:27Speaker 2: if the door is open and a dog comes out
- 17:30Speaker 2: there and is friendly but is barking, I think the
- 17:33Speaker 2: cop can reasonably say I was about to be attacked
- 17:36Speaker 2: by a dog. Makes sense. I think that is a
- 17:39Speaker 2: policy shooting. However, if you look at this, the cops
- 17:43Speaker 2: knock on this person's door after the neighbor complained and
- 17:50Speaker 2: a legitimate green plane heard. Oh my god, it turned
- 17:52Speaker 2: out that the woman was watching a Knicks game, the
- 17:56Speaker 2: dog wearing a Knick's T shirt. Although how is the
- 17:58Speaker 2: cops going to figure that out out? Immediately barked when
- 18:02Speaker 2: she opened the first door, and there's a cop, And
- 18:05Speaker 2: then the cops say, put the dog away, and there's
- 18:09Speaker 2: a second cop shows up, upholsters his gun or unholstering
- 18:16Speaker 2: his gun, backing away, puts the puts his gun away,
- 18:21Speaker 2: and then they returned to the door and that's the problem.
- 18:25Speaker 2: And she says he is not aggressive. The dog is
- 18:28Speaker 2: not aggressive.
- 18:29Speaker 1: You're right, run out in the video.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Yeah, but but she was. The dog was. The cop
- 18:35Speaker 3: was told not aggressive.
- 18:37Speaker 1: That's the cop that went into somebody's backyard unannounced and
- 18:41Speaker 1: shot the dog. That's clear cut, man, he will you're right, this.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Is not This is not clear cut. Yeah, both sides
- 18:48Speaker 3: have an argument here.
- 18:49Speaker 2: And as far as as Amy reported, the fact, they're
- 18:52Speaker 2: not going to release the name if there are threats,
- 18:54Speaker 2: you damn right, you're not going to release the names.
- 18:56Speaker 3: That's state law, by the way, that allows that to happen.
- 18:59Speaker 1: All right. Burbank Airport or what they referred to as
- 19:03Speaker 1: Hollywood Burbank and what I referred to as Bob Hope
- 19:06Speaker 1: Airport and always will be in my heart, sir. We'll
- 19:10Speaker 1: open a new one point three billion with a B
- 19:13Speaker 1: terminal in place of the two smaller concourses. If you've
- 19:18Speaker 1: been there, it's used them for decades. You have to
- 19:21Speaker 1: walk out on the tarmac there, and this happened. This
- 19:26Speaker 1: particular replacement project was voted on back in twenty sixteen,
- 19:31Speaker 1: so construction began in twenty twenty four. Following the design
- 19:36Speaker 1: intended and suggested their whole vibe is going to be
- 19:40Speaker 1: Hollywood glitz and glamour. So it's kind of funny.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Same of it is that it's going to change right now.
- 19:48Speaker 2: It's the best regional airport out there for a major city.
- 19:51Speaker 2: It's a wonderful airport with an amazing history. Amelia Earhart
- 19:57Speaker 2: flew out of that airport. That was her airport. The
- 20:00Speaker 2: skunkworks that created the U two and the SR seventy
- 20:04Speaker 2: one was based there at Hollywood Burbank at the end
- 20:08Speaker 2: of the runway. It's a neat place. Even with one
- 20:12Speaker 2: point three billion dollars. You're still gonna have to walk
- 20:14Speaker 2: up to the planes like you do now on those.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Stairs like that, though I don't know, it feels old
- 20:20Speaker 1: timing and cool.
- 20:21Speaker 2: It does, especially if you in a wheelchair. We have
- 20:23Speaker 2: no legs. It's really interesting walking up those stairs.
- 20:27Speaker 1: They do have a little museum with stuff as you
- 20:31Speaker 1: walk through.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Yeah, they do, with some Amelia Airheart stuff, yeah.
- 20:35Speaker 1: And some Bob Hope stuff. But good for them. It's
- 20:39Speaker 1: a marvelous airport.
- 20:42Speaker 4: We're the worst. California is one of the worst states
- 20:45Speaker 4: that someone can move to in twenty twenty six. That's
- 20:47Speaker 4: according to a report from Consumer Affairs based on things
- 20:51Speaker 4: like affordability, safety, economic strength, healthcare, education, and quality of life.
- 20:57Speaker 4: California ranks as the third world state for the second
- 21:01Speaker 4: year in a row. It was named the worst state
- 21:03Speaker 4: to move to in the US in twenty twenty four,
- 21:06Speaker 4: but now New Mexico has beat us out. That's the
- 21:09Speaker 4: worst state.
- 21:10Speaker 1: It's also the second most dangerous state in the CORRECT.
- 21:13Speaker 2: That is the problem. You look at if you look
- 21:16Speaker 2: at economic strength, very good. If you look at healthcare,
- 21:18Speaker 2: probably very good. I'm just seeing education probably very good.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Affordability is that has to be eighty percent of what
- 21:27Speaker 2: makes it the worst state is affordability.
- 21:29Speaker 3: I thought education.
- 21:30Speaker 4: I thought you said that LA like LAUSD just sucks. Now,
- 21:34Speaker 4: well that's LAUSD and that's most of the students in
- 21:36Speaker 4: the state.
- 21:38Speaker 5: Well, no, come on, it's four hundred thousand or so
- 21:41Speaker 5: students at LAUSD. I don't know how many students there are,
- 21:44Speaker 5: but you know, I don't know what a percentage a
- 21:47Speaker 5: lot of students there.
- 21:49Speaker 2: But you're right, LAUSD. And it's not LAUSD's fault. It's yeah,
- 21:52Speaker 2: I've talked about that before.
- 21:54Speaker 1: I love our school. For Max. I think they do
- 21:57Speaker 1: a fantastic job, but some are than others.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Weird story here, Neil.
- 22:04Speaker 1: This is very strange, especially the adamacy the doctor here.
- 22:10Speaker 1: So this takes place in Phoenix and Toddler discovered in
- 22:15Speaker 1: the backyard pool in Phoenix, a little suburb out just
- 22:18Speaker 1: outside of Phoenix back in February, declared dead by the doctors,
- 22:23Speaker 1: but found breathing hours later. So basically, the hospitals have
- 22:28Speaker 1: a morgue or what they call a cold room, and
- 22:32Speaker 1: so cops respond to this. They bring the baby to
- 22:39Speaker 1: the hospital. The hospital pronounces the boy dead. The cops
- 22:45Speaker 1: are going, I'm seeing signs of life and get into
- 22:48Speaker 1: an argument with the doctor who said, please do your
- 22:55Speaker 1: thing and let me do my thing. I went to
- 22:57Speaker 1: medical school for a reason. And they put them in
- 23:01Speaker 1: the cold room aka morgue, and then later hours later
- 23:06Speaker 1: found the kid breathing and they rushed him to take
- 23:14Speaker 1: a look and go through all their concerns, and it
- 23:18Speaker 1: turns out that the baby ended up being fine been released.
- 23:23Speaker 5: I think it would have died of hypothermia being in
- 23:25Speaker 5: the cold room for a while.
- 23:26Speaker 1: There's the weird thing though, They found that that when
- 23:29Speaker 1: they got to the house of the parents. It smelled
- 23:32Speaker 1: of marijuana and the back door was open. So now
- 23:35Speaker 1: they've got to look through the social services type angle
- 23:39Speaker 1: to see what happened and if there was neglect. But
- 23:43Speaker 1: crazy story to have a doctor so adamant and pushing
- 23:47Speaker 1: back on the cops and then later the baby's alive.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm willing to bet that whatever hospital that doctor
- 23:56Speaker 2: practices out of, if he or she does, is going
- 24:00Speaker 2: to have some issues with HM.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Why don't we now create a board. You know they
- 24:07Speaker 3: do that all the time.
- 24:08Speaker 2: We've talked to Jim there is they meet either weekly
- 24:11Speaker 2: or monthly and go through all of the cases and
- 24:14Speaker 2: talk about Eddie misdiagnosis in order to just get better
- 24:19Speaker 2: and better.
- 24:19Speaker 1: But that makes total sense.
- 24:23Speaker 3: All right, we do one more before we take a break.
- 24:25Speaker 4: Amy, speaking of still alive, Amy, what Mitch McConnell is
- 24:32Speaker 4: still with us? The Kentucky senator is still in the
- 24:36Speaker 4: hospital more than three weeks after he was admitted for
- 24:39Speaker 4: undisclosed health issues. The top two Republicans, or two of
- 24:43Speaker 4: the top Republicans in the Senate say they've talked to him,
- 24:47Speaker 4: send him. Majority leader John Thune said he spoke with
- 24:50Speaker 4: McConnell by phone on Monday and had a lengthy, substantive conversation,
- 24:56Speaker 4: and Wyoming's John Barrosso said he had a twenty minute
- 24:59Speaker 4: phone with McConnell on Tuesday. Of course, this is all
- 25:04Speaker 4: putting into question whether mcconnald's going to be healthy enough
- 25:07Speaker 4: to be at the Capitol when the Senate returns to
- 25:09Speaker 4: Washington next week after a two week recess.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Oh, he's coming back.
- 25:13Speaker 2: It's just the Senate will have its version of weekend
- 25:16Speaker 2: at Bernie's, that's all.
- 25:17Speaker 3: And it'll be he'll be there, just propped up. It'll
- 25:23Speaker 3: be good, all right. Boy. He is old.
- 25:26Speaker 5: He is eighty four, and not a young eighty four either,
- 25:29Speaker 5: I mean he is.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:33Speaker 1: So you get your California driver's license and you go whoo,
- 25:37Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, eleven thousand people are
- 25:41Speaker 1: being notified that they must retake the exam. It seems
- 25:46Speaker 1: there's something. They're referring to it as anomalies in the
- 25:51Speaker 1: testing there. So thousands of Californians have been receiving these
- 25:56Speaker 1: letters from the DMV and it's just saying, hey, there's
- 25:58Speaker 1: some irregular he's found in your written test results, and
- 26:04Speaker 1: that you're going to lose your license unless you retake
- 26:06Speaker 1: the exam within thirty days.
- 26:09Speaker 3: So that's not a written m Yeah.
- 26:11Speaker 2: I mean you go on the computer and you do
- 26:13Speaker 2: the multiple choice business. But what is the identified as
- 26:18Speaker 2: identified anomalies in the results of certain knowledge tests?
- 26:22Speaker 3: What the hell does that mean?
- 26:26Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't know. They don't really
- 26:29Speaker 1: explain any of that. But it affected eleven thousand people,
- 26:33Speaker 1: which is interesting. But Bill, I don't see anything that
- 26:38Speaker 1: says this could be done online because people have been
- 26:41Speaker 1: complaining about having to drive in No.
- 26:44Speaker 3: No, you have to go.
- 26:44Speaker 2: No, you have to go to a DMV office to
- 26:48Speaker 2: take that written touch. But it's but it is on
- 26:51Speaker 2: the computer and it's you know, multiple choice. And at
- 26:56Speaker 2: eleven thousand people, that's nothing. I mean, how many do
- 27:00Speaker 2: you think take that test every day in California?
- 27:02Speaker 1: Yeah, but each of those eleven thousand individuals, it's one
- 27:07Speaker 1: hundred percent pain in the ass.
- 27:09Speaker 3: That's true.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Freedom Fuel in Philadelphia, what is it? Well, it's a
- 27:18Speaker 4: Freedom Fuel Network gas station and it's opened in Philadelphia
- 27:24Speaker 4: and is offering gas at three forty seven per gallon.
- 27:28Speaker 4: That's for our forty seventh president. According to the social
- 27:32Speaker 4: media post President Trump, it says, is leading the charge
- 27:35Speaker 4: to lower gas prices. Is some are putting more money
- 27:38Speaker 4: in your pocket. Signed the White House. That's a good
- 27:42Speaker 4: deal five thirty six in California five thirty eight.
- 27:45Speaker 2: And al no, this is this is national. So it's
- 27:48Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. But I think in Philadelphia, well, I don't
- 27:51Speaker 2: know in the national price in Philadelphia how it compares
- 27:54Speaker 2: the national price, which is three seventy nine. So this
- 27:58Speaker 2: is thirty cents cheaper per gallon, which still money, you know,
- 28:01Speaker 2: on a twenty gallent tank.
- 28:02Speaker 3: That's still six bucks.
- 28:05Speaker 5: I just like a three forty seven based on the
- 28:09Speaker 5: forty seventh president.
- 28:10Speaker 3: I mean there's always a way, isn't there. I mean
- 28:13Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do.
- 28:17Speaker 1: And the three is or the three times that he's
- 28:20Speaker 1: going to be president.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all of it. I love it, all right.
- 28:25Speaker 1: So Toyota making a move some of their promises that
- 28:28Speaker 1: they've said in the past, and also with some changes
- 28:33Speaker 1: in Washington declining to renew the North American Trade Pack
- 28:37Speaker 1: with Mexico as well as Canada, there's a lot of
- 28:40Speaker 1: uncertainty for business there. Toyota said that it will shift
- 28:44Speaker 1: most productions of its mid size Tacoma pickup truck from
- 28:48Speaker 1: Mexico to the United States as part of a three
- 28:50Speaker 1: point six billion dollar investment in his San Antonio, Texas plant. Obviously,
- 28:56Speaker 1: they sell a butt ton of cars and it'll create
- 29:00Speaker 1: more than two thousand jobs, increasing annual production capacity in
- 29:05Speaker 1: the plant to one hundred and fifty thousand units now Here.
- 29:10Speaker 2: President Trump is taking credit for this plant being moved
- 29:14Speaker 2: into the US, and I think you have to give
- 29:16Speaker 2: it to him when he talks about so when he
- 29:19Speaker 2: talks about the beauty of tariffs, that's the word he uses.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Would Toyota have done this without the presidential intervention in
- 29:27Speaker 2: terms of tariffs, I don't know. I think he's rightly
- 29:31Speaker 2: taking credit for this. And it's not just two thousand jobs.
- 29:35Speaker 2: You have the construction of this plant over two years,
- 29:38Speaker 2: thousands of people working on it. And then if you
- 29:40Speaker 2: have two thousand jobs, I don't know how many of
- 29:42Speaker 2: her are local, but that means people are gonna have
- 29:45Speaker 2: a lot more money, which means they're going to spend
- 29:48Speaker 2: a lot more at restaurants and buy more goods.
- 29:52Speaker 3: So this is good news, very very good news.
- 29:55Speaker 2: And I'm going to give the President credit for this
- 29:58Speaker 2: one because this is a good side of tariffs, certainly for.
- 30:01Speaker 4: US metro workers. Up to no good. Several people have
- 30:07Speaker 4: been arrested, including a Metro worker, as part of an
- 30:10Speaker 4: operation targeting trans national organized crime. It's responsible for flooding
- 30:16Speaker 4: communities with drugs and illegal weapons. That's according to federal authorities.
- 30:21Speaker 4: Justin Guzman's twenty six he was arrested at the Elmonte
- 30:24Speaker 4: Transit center where he works. He's one of twenty four
- 30:28Speaker 4: people arrested so far, eight of them from southern California.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Federal prosecutors say that Guzman is an associate of an
- 30:35Speaker 4: India based organized crime syndicate known as the Bogwon Purea
- 30:40Speaker 4: organized crime ring. They're behind lots of things, including the
- 30:46Speaker 4: twenty twenty three assassination of a prominent political and religious
- 30:50Speaker 4: sick figure seekh figure in Canada.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Yeah, when they arrested Guzman and he went to a
- 30:58Speaker 2: jail awaiting his preliminary he asked for the food to
- 31:04Speaker 2: be spicyer. It wasn't hot enough. Okay, that's a that's
- 31:08Speaker 2: an Indian food joke, by the way. Okay, I just
- 31:12Speaker 2: wanted to share that with you.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Vindaloo not much vindaloo with you.
- 31:20Speaker 1: What's the matter. Rather, I'd rather hear the lunchbox story
- 31:26Speaker 1: a game.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I will do the lunchbox stories sometime. Okay, we
- 31:29Speaker 2: are done.
