Import GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin

I am working on code using the gensim and having a tough time troubleshooting a ValueError within my code. I finally was able to zip GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz file so I could implement it in my model. I also tried gzip which the results were unsuccessful. The error in the code occurs in the last line. I would like to know what can be done to fix the error. Is there any workarounds? Finally, is there a website that I could reference?

Thank you respectfully for your assistance!
