Speaker 3 (00:11):
I love this story.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You know why because if you do this, you are
either going to die, which is one of my favorite stories,
or you're going to be miserable when you go. And
nothing makes me happier than your misery. It's just part
of what makes my life go around.

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