Good morning Bill. Oh god, everybody's a happy mood. I
got to change that one around.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, that you just threatened to wreck our Thanksgiving, so
we're trying to counter that.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh and I'm not threatening to wreck it. I am
going to record. And that's because there is this does
not be just prognosticati prognosticating or just flying off the
handle or having an opinion.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Oh no, no, no, no, this is for real. Good morning, Anne,
good morning Bill. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And then there's Neil, who is at disney Land yesterday.
And the first thing I asked you, Neil, was was
it crowded? Was it crowded? Because I love talking about
how the crowds that disney Land.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
It was pretty full, but it was festive. We didn't
have any problems. It was uh oh it was. It
was crowds. It was festively crowded.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's like it's like sardines jumping up and down in
their can being so thrilled.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Being there is.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
So orderly and clean, and you're not worrying about it.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
It just it's the best.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And I yes, you've just described life in North Korea.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh so orderly, so festive. I don't know, it was great,
it was anyway, okay, got it?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Enough?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
All right, enough of that. I'm going a little bit
too far, you know. And the shame of it all
is I really like Disneyland. I think it's an absolutely
fabulous place. Uh it's just as it's it's a little
too crowded for me.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You just don't like people.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well that's a given. And you know the problem is
we go back to other people.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yes, as I have said, we go back to the
days when I could go to Disneyland, and I remember
the unfortunately vividly where midweek January February March.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Nobody was in the park. It was completely empty and
there was zero weight. And that is that sticks with you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Now, before we get to the news, we have the
auction items which are going to go until the evening
of Pastathon, which will be December one, Pastason December two,
and it's there's some fun items this year.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
An hour with John Colebilt. Why people would pay for that?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It already already has gone her two thy seven and
twenty seven dollars. That's a weird number, but John always
does well. Gary and Shannon not yet. Dodgers game with
Dean and Tina. Dean and Tina not yet. It will
come and there'll be some good numbers.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Coaching the picture Dean is smooching his wife. No, I
didn't see the picture yet. That would be incomfortable if
I went to the Dodgers and they were making out
in the stands.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh, there you are, and then put on the jumbo screen,
you know, like Michelle was on the jumbo screen when
she was flashing at a should have kissed in our photo,
pardon you, and I should have kicked I know, But
that's sort of a given. A coaching meeting with doctor Wendy.
I was going to bid for one. I was going
to bid for that, but one meeting with doctor Wendy
(05:32):
wouldn't begin to.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Touch my issues.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
As a matter of fact, I would be halfway through
explaining the problems I have during.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The initial meeting, so I hope she wouldn't touch the issue.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
There we go, Angel Martinez with her Nazi sandals as.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Naughty naughty, naughty.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Naughty sandals, and they're beautiful and incredibly well made.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I guess I miss eating this. Yeah, Okay, got it, understood,
young lady.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, And so far the backyard barbecue with us Neil,
that's Bill and' neil, And this one we've never done before,
and that is a private backyard barbecue. We're going to
broadcast yet and the winner and a guest will join
us for this private barbecue. It'll be we had a
(06:28):
bunch of grill masters coming and Anaheim White House is
going to be catering it. I mean, it's it's a
big deal and people are going to be winners are
going to be invited to the house, and there will
be some additional perks. For example, uh, sitting in my chair,
which I broadcast from of which during the summer I
am butt naked and sweat into the chair. So that
(06:50):
is h that's a good one. And you're also going
to get a two thousand dollars set of cookwaar from
Lake Industries as well as the years of Zelman's so
it's going to be a good time and plenty of alcohol.
So good time will be had by all. Okay, and
by the way, so far five thousand dollars. That was
(07:11):
the initial bid. I didn't think we were in even
going to get the initial bid, so that's kind of neat.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
And that's that's in the lead currently, So.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, it is in the lead.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But then again, enough people hate us that they want
to know what we are like in real life.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Hate us?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, okay, enough people hate us minus one and what
we are going to be in real life? Okay, guys,
the gem of the ie and I will report on.
Oh and you get a ride in the elevator that's
right up to the penthouse all the way from the
first floor to the penthouse, and what else.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Got a a lot of fun stuff going on. By
the way, is there any way that we can get
Cono down to the actual mote because ladies were asking
about him last year. He's shaking, no, can we don't
we have anybody to fill in? My goodness? I was like,
you know, and you know the morning crew?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Are you also get to meet the morning crew, of
which I had no intention, zero intention of inviting until
Lindsey said you have to invite the morning crew and
I broke down. So you also get to meet the
morning crew.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
What we all said that it's stupid for you not
to bring the morning crew. Hey, if Cono can't come,
can't we kind of I don't know, shave one of
Amy's cats and put a cap on it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, we could, we could, and we could also of
course we're going to video it h and show it
to Cono and go, look what you missed. It's we
don't have we don't have one. We don't have one
board omp that can fill in for you. Cony No, no, no, no,
no oh, you just don't want to come.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I want the listener. No, no one can do this job.
I just said. That's what I just said. I know,
that's what I'm saying. That's why I cannot's I'm shaking
my head. I canst around. I cannot do no matter
what you got to.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Ask, because a lot of people were asking for cono.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, anyway, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We got plenty of news to cover, and we got
a story that we knew was going to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Handle on the news, Amy Neil and Me lead story.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Judge, absolutely no surprise that the federal judge tossed out
the criminal charges against former FAI director James Comi and
New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Now not because of the underlying issues. It was a
technical issue that the judge threw out the case. And
the reason is I'll talk more about that. I think
it's seven o'clock the more. The big reason is the
way that Trump administration brought this case to the grand
jury was so bonehead, was so ridiculously stupid. And I'll
(10:08):
talk about that. And it truly is a technicality, you
know how they often say, oh, a technicality got off.
This was the reason this thing fell apart. And I'll
explain that later on.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Mark Kelly may have some explaining to do to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon says it's investigating Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly
in light of serious allegations of misconduct they could recall
him to active duty to face court martial or administrative punishment. Now,
this is all tied to Kelly and five other Democratic
(10:43):
lawmakers who posted a video telling service members that they
must disobey illegal orders from the president, but didn't say
what those illegal orders are. Kelly was a senior officer
who retired from the Navy, so he was required to
stay available to be recalled to the military.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Harry by law.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, a couple of things about that. Number One, he's
a sitting senator, so that becomes a little problematic. Number Two,
what they said is law, you are required not to
follow illegal orders. Now the issue is what's illegal and
what is not. And heg said is crazy. And if
they bring him back for the sole purpose of court
(11:22):
martialing him and demoting him, and they're going to go
for quote sedition, that's another one that's stupid. The death penalty,
that's just wrong. It's twenty years if you it's just
all of it sort of stupid, stupid, upon stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
He said, they did. You're at home. He did what
they did?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, what they did is First Amendment. It is First Amendment.
It is not sedition. You know what was sedition for real.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Uh, the overrunning of.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The capitol with twelve hundred people, that was real sedition
and of course they.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Were military personnel. Does don't have the right.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They don't have the same rights they have. But he
is a civilian. He is a civilian.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
That's one of the problems that they're going to have.
And because he could, but he hasn't been.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Recalled, right, But they will, and then they'll make him
say it again.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I don't know if you will. I don't know if
you will.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But if he admits, all all he'll admit is yes,
I said it, but I said it as a civilian.
I mean, this guy, they're never going to charge him,
never in a million years.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That one has way too many holes, all right.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
La to host the first Congressional hearing on effective immigration raid.
So they're poking through all of the stories from the
Long Beach Mayor of Boyle Heights. Pastor spoke out all
these stories of people being not only illegal in the
(12:45):
end documented but also legal residents and or American citizens
and issues that went down with that. So they're saying
that that many people don't feel safe around the ice
being enforced here. La Mayor Karen Bass and top Democratic
(13:06):
House Oversight and Government Reform committees announced last month that
they were opening a broad investigation with Congress.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I love La Mayor Karen Bass saying that Congress
is going to open an investigation. I am part of that.
Give me a break, okay, And then, of course it's
the Democrat who is opening it. But how far do
you think that's going to go when the Republicans in
fact control all the committees in the House.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Closing in on a deal, Apparently, Ukraine's government has agreed
to a peace deal brokered by the Trump administration to
stop Russia's nearly four year invasion. It said that details
do need to still be worked out, but that Ukrainian
President Volodimir Zelensky could travel through DC before the end
of this month to finalize the agreement. The news comes
(13:57):
as the US Army Secretary Dan Risco was an Abu
Dhabi meeting with Russian officials.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, it turns out that once this is done, and
considering what the president is insisting on, and the President's
going to probably make the call. Here is why did
Ukraine even fight Russians came in. They wanted the don
Bass region. They're getting it. They point to this other
place we also want that.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
They're getting it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
We don't want a we don't want a robust military
from Ukraine. We're knocking thirty percent of their number of
soldiers off the table. They're getting it. No, they don't
want Ukraine ever to go to NATO. They're getting it.
(14:47):
They're getting everything they want. The Russians. Why bother with
the war. That's the problem that's going on here. That's
the peace proposal. So, I mean, they're going to have
to give up something. So here's the news.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
If you happen to be a country and you want
parts of the other country, just invade.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's all you got to do is invade and the
piece comes out that you're gonna get what you're gonna get.
It's it's that disgusting, it really is. It's it's horrific.
This is a crazy story. So you've got this national
landlord group, Gray Star. They manage dozens of apartment complexes
(15:31):
in southern California. They're settling a lawsuit now. The lawsuit
alleges that the this massive property giant and other landlords
got together and colluded to keep rents artificially high.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
They use this.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
It's you know, this this page, this digital page that
keeps all the pricing. Its software that they use that
all these apartment operations use, and it sets rent prices.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Right.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
So apparently they're accused of working together to keep these
vacant units at a higher price, to keep it artificially inflated.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
That's collusion, for straight collusion. And you're not allowed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And of course they settle and didn't do anything wrong,
did not admit fault. How unusual.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Well, Grandma's gone. After more than a century roaming around
the San Diego Zoo, a beloved Galapagos tortoise named Grandma died.
She's the oldest resident of the zoo. She was estimated
to be about one hundred and forty one years old.
A zoo official say she came from the Bronx Zoo
in either nineteen twenty eight or thirty one as part
(16:48):
of its first Galopagos tortoise group. She lived through two
World Wars and twenty US presidents.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Wow, it's impressive, so has Bill, Yeah, go up. Those
turtles last a very long time.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Is it true that that she got ran over by
a reindeer.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
No, okay, I read different.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, yes you do.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
News outlet, Yeah okay.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
White House.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You know they were going to unveil their new healthcare
cost proposal. This has been something a sticking point that
has been, you know, overshadowing all of the government shut
down and all of that. But they have postponed it.
They were going to roll out a new proposal to
address healthcare just yesterday, I believe, and this was going
(17:41):
to avert, hopefully the spike and premiums driven by the
expiration of the Affordable Care Act.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Want what you want.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
A Republican has been fighting Obamacare since it was created.
We have a better plan, we have a better plan.
Just let us do our better plan. They have yet
to have a better plan, and that they've never come
up They've never come up with any plan, not eve one.
But we're gonna we finally have one. Oh no, we
(18:09):
actually don't. We thought we did, but no, it's going
to be postponed.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Wouldn't be funny if the actual idea is just to
rename it trump Care, that would.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Be Hilda, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'll tell you when this is going to blow up
in the Republicans' faces is come January thirty one, when
there's going to be another shutdown. We're looking at another
shutdown and we have yet to have a plan that
the Republicans are going to put forward. And if that
happens and people lose all their insurance because they have
(18:43):
a better plan, and it won't happen.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
This is exactly the same argument as day one prices
will be in half. You'll pay half of the prices
you're paying day one. Not really, and the new plan
not really. You wait till the midterms come. If it
keeps ongoing the way it's going, it's not going to
(19:06):
be pleasant for the Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
All right, we can do one more and then we'll
take a break.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Inglewood Police now required to post so apparently they've been
violating state public records. In an Ella County Superior Coorp
judge granted an ACLU motion for summary judgment. They said
that the Inglewood Police Department demonstrated a pattern and practice
of failing to comply with statutory obligations, meaning they didn't
(19:32):
comply for requests for police misconduct, including fatal shootings, documents
and those kinds of things. So now they have to
post the information on the website.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Sad story continues to unfold the death of that eighteen
year old girl on the Carnival cruise ship.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Her name was Anna Kepner.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
It's been ruled a homicide and they say it's mechanical affixiation,
so that is obviously someone being choked.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Uh there.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
They haven't come out and said, you know who the
suspect is, but there is some focus around Kepner's stepbrother.
We'll see how that pans out. But she was with
her grandparents or father, her stepmother, siblings and step siblings.
And I've read all kinds of stories about this and
how you know, don't know if they're true or not
(20:29):
about the stepbrother was infatuated with her in different other claims,
So we'll have to wait and see. But she was
found wrapped in a blanket with uh the life jacket
on under a bed, So I don't know if something,
you know, would you put a life jacket on somebody
if you're going to roll them off the side of a.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And then that and then that she was surrounded by
life vests as well, like they thought, oh we'll hide
her this way or take.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
A break, guys, because we are running a little bit late. Connor,
I'm sorry. I was trying to get the printer working.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It is a Tuesday morning, November twenty fifth, and I
actually am going to pay attention to the news this time,
as I was trying to get my printer to work,
and I was harassed by the morning crew.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Why don't we move on?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So she was only mostly dead, not completely dead. This
is a bizarre story out of Thailand. A woman apparently
died in quotes in Thailand and her sixty five or
her brother said, well, I'm gonna take her up and
get her cremated. So he drove like three hundred miles
to the place where he could get her cremated. And
(21:48):
then she started knocking on the coffin, so she wasn't
quite gone. Apparently her health had deteriorated. It's very sad.
She became unresponsive and stopped breathing, apparently a couple of
days ago. So that's when he took her off to
be cremated, and then she.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Started, oh, oh it's hot.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Well they got there before that started.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Oh, not much to say, all right, there is strange
alignment in a world of discontent and complete you know,
left right, all this. There's a new study out of
loyal LA mayormount that says that the vast majority of
LA County is in agreement on one particular topic, that
(22:34):
things are not going so good here in the city
of Angels So hundreds of Angelino's conducted this study. University's
Study LA team found that registered voters in Los Angeles
County think the government is off track and many believe
the only way to write the ship is with sweeping reform.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, and this is not just La. This is across
the country. People are really not happy.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I can't worry about all of them. I have to
worry about my own city. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
The confidence factor, the confidence index is truly in the toilet.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Well, they're mismanaging everything, all the money, the homeless situation
are you know, mass transit, everything is so wickedly mismanaged.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Let me ask you a question, is have we reached
the point where government is ungovernable, where it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Almost doesn't matter what you do.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It has its own The inertia has hit and it's
moving down a track that no one can really, you
can't take it off the track.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You have to do something to have inertia. There's they're
not no one's doing anything, and they're worrying about things
that are are are Listen, we all are concerned about
the climate, all of us. But I sometimes it seems
like where we won't spend money on our fourteen year
old child that needs a huge operation because we want
(24:09):
to have the money for their college, and it's like, well,
your kids can an example without the operation.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Example, and we're not going to spend money. Well, now
we're talking political climate change.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
We have had real with things now in the now
that have to be done before then.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Okay, so listen, by the way, you sound like Bill Gates,
That's exactly what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Moving on, Trump's going there, She's coming here. President Trump
says that he's going to head two Beijing in April,
and then we'll host Chinese President Jijinping for a state
visit later in twenty twenty six. Trump announced those plans
after he and she got off a phone call on Monday.
(24:51):
He said, our relationship with China is extremely strong. Now
we can set our sites on the big picture. And
then they announced the ravel plans after detailing a trade
deal framework with China. That will mean that soybeans will
be purchased by China, and that also export restrictions on
rare earth minerals will be loosened.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, that's this week, and the only reason that decision
is going to stay till the end of the week
is because it's Thanksgiving week. Come Monday Tuesday of next week,
it will probably be a whole different set of circumstances
as to where who is going to go and what's
going to change. I think we have time to finish
(25:34):
one more.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Yeah, we've heard of flights being canceled before, but very
rarely is it because of a volcano. But flights have
been canceled after an Ethiopian volcano erupts for the first
time in twelve thousand years. So it puts this massive
ash cloud. You know, we've seen that before that not
(25:56):
only is it because of visuals, but the particulates.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, mountsand Hells for example, a rand blast. Yeah, when
Mount Stanton Hellis blew up in Washington. I mean that
cloud then was the one that blew up in Iceland
where the airplanes had to go around the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Yeah, because it could cause damage to the engine.

I'm talking to my mic Here we go is how
is that? As we get started on the show, our
professional show. This is the Bill Handle Show. This is
an award winning show, and unfortunately it actually is. If
I could go down the list of awards that this
show has garnered, you will say that's an impossibility. That
(01:45):
is humanly impossible. All right, go figure anyway, morning everybody,
as we start on a let me look at this
a Tuesday morning, November twenty, coming up a day after tomorrow,
of course, is the one and only Thanksgiving. Oh, I
(02:06):
got a great story coming up at seven thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
How you are not going to enjoy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It's of course what else would I do?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
How this is gonna be the worst Thanksgiving that you
have ever experienced.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I'll explain why and you will know. In the meantime.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Let me say hello, Cono, good morning, good morning, good morning.
And there's Amy, good morning, Hi Bill, Hi, Will Coleschreiber.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Good morning Bill. Oh god, everybody's a happy mood. I
got to change that one around.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, that you just threatened to wreck our Thanksgiving, so
we're trying to counter that.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh and I'm not threatening to wreck it. I am
going to record. And that's because there is this does
not be just prognosticati prognosticating or just flying off the
handle or having an opinion.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Oh no, no, no, no, this is for real. Good morning, Anne,
good morning Bill. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And then there's Neil, who is at disney Land yesterday.
And the first thing I asked you, Neil, was was
it crowded? Was it crowded? Because I love talking about
how the crowds that disney Land.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
It was pretty full, but it was festive. We didn't
have any problems. It was uh oh it was. It
was crowds. It was festively crowded.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's like it's like sardines jumping up and down in
their can being so thrilled.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Being there is.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
So orderly and clean, and you're not worrying about it.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
It just it's the best.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And I yes, you've just described life in North Korea.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh so orderly, so festive. I don't know, it was great,
it was anyway, okay, got it?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Enough?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
All right, enough of that. I'm going a little bit
too far, you know. And the shame of it all
is I really like Disneyland. I think it's an absolutely
fabulous place. Uh it's just as it's it's a little
too crowded for me.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You just don't like people.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well that's a given. And you know the problem is
we go back to other people.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yes, as I have said, we go back to the
days when I could go to Disneyland, and I remember
the unfortunately vividly where midweek January February March.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Nobody was in the park. It was completely empty and
there was zero weight. And that is that sticks with you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Now, before we get to the news, we have the
auction items which are going to go until the evening
of Pastathon, which will be December one, Pastason December two,
and it's there's some fun items this year.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
An hour with John Colebilt. Why people would pay for that?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It already already has gone her two thy seven and
twenty seven dollars. That's a weird number, but John always
does well. Gary and Shannon not yet. Dodgers game with
Dean and Tina. Dean and Tina not yet. It will
come and there'll be some good numbers.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Coaching the picture Dean is smooching his wife. No, I
didn't see the picture yet. That would be incomfortable if
I went to the Dodgers and they were making out
in the stands.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh, there you are, and then put on the jumbo screen,
you know, like Michelle was on the jumbo screen when
she was flashing at a should have kissed in our photo,
pardon you, and I should have kicked I know, But
that's sort of a given. A coaching meeting with doctor Wendy.
I was going to bid for one. I was going
to bid for that, but one meeting with doctor Wendy
(05:32):
wouldn't begin to.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Touch my issues.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
As a matter of fact, I would be halfway through
explaining the problems I have during.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The initial meeting, so I hope she wouldn't touch the issue.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
There we go, Angel Martinez with her Nazi sandals as.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Naughty naughty, naughty.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Naughty sandals, and they're beautiful and incredibly well made.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I guess I miss eating this. Yeah, Okay, got it, understood,
young lady.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, And so far the backyard barbecue with us Neil,
that's Bill and' neil, And this one we've never done before,
and that is a private backyard barbecue. We're going to
broadcast yet and the winner and a guest will join
us for this private barbecue. It'll be we had a
(06:28):
bunch of grill masters coming and Anaheim White House is
going to be catering it. I mean, it's it's a
big deal and people are going to be winners are
going to be invited to the house, and there will
be some additional perks. For example, uh, sitting in my chair,
which I broadcast from of which during the summer I
am butt naked and sweat into the chair. So that
(06:50):
is h that's a good one. And you're also going
to get a two thousand dollars set of cookwaar from
Lake Industries as well as the years of Zelman's so
it's going to be a good time and plenty of alcohol.
So good time will be had by all. Okay, and
by the way, so far five thousand dollars. That was
(07:11):
the initial bid. I didn't think we were in even
going to get the initial bid, so that's kind of neat.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
And that's that's in the lead currently, So.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, it is in the lead.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But then again, enough people hate us that they want
to know what we are like in real life.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Hate us?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, okay, enough people hate us minus one and what
we are going to be in real life? Okay, guys,
the gem of the ie and I will report on.
Oh and you get a ride in the elevator that's
right up to the penthouse all the way from the
first floor to the penthouse, and what else.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Got a a lot of fun stuff going on. By
the way, is there any way that we can get
Cono down to the actual mote because ladies were asking
about him last year. He's shaking, no, can we don't
we have anybody to fill in? My goodness? I was like,
you know, and you know the morning crew?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Are you also get to meet the morning crew, of
which I had no intention, zero intention of inviting until
Lindsey said you have to invite the morning crew and
I broke down. So you also get to meet the
morning crew.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
What we all said that it's stupid for you not
to bring the morning crew. Hey, if Cono can't come,
can't we kind of I don't know, shave one of
Amy's cats and put a cap on it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, we could, we could, and we could also of
course we're going to video it h and show it
to Cono and go, look what you missed. It's we
don't have we don't have one. We don't have one
board omp that can fill in for you. Cony No, no, no, no,
no oh, you just don't want to come.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I want the listener. No, no one can do this job.
I just said. That's what I just said. I know,
that's what I'm saying. That's why I cannot's I'm shaking
my head. I canst around. I cannot do no matter
what you got to.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Ask, because a lot of people were asking for cono.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, anyway, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We got plenty of news to cover, and we got
a story that we knew was going to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Handle on the news, Amy Neil and Me lead story.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Judge, absolutely no surprise that the federal judge tossed out
the criminal charges against former FAI director James Comi and
New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Now not because of the underlying issues. It was a
technical issue that the judge threw out the case. And
the reason is I'll talk more about that. I think
it's seven o'clock the more. The big reason is the
way that Trump administration brought this case to the grand
jury was so bonehead, was so ridiculously stupid. And I'll
(10:08):
talk about that. And it truly is a technicality, you
know how they often say, oh, a technicality got off.
This was the reason this thing fell apart. And I'll
explain that later on.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Mark Kelly may have some explaining to do to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon says it's investigating Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly
in light of serious allegations of misconduct they could recall
him to active duty to face court martial or administrative punishment. Now,
this is all tied to Kelly and five other Democratic
(10:43):
lawmakers who posted a video telling service members that they
must disobey illegal orders from the president, but didn't say
what those illegal orders are. Kelly was a senior officer
who retired from the Navy, so he was required to
stay available to be recalled to the military.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Harry by law.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, a couple of things about that. Number One, he's
a sitting senator, so that becomes a little problematic. Number Two,
what they said is law, you are required not to
follow illegal orders. Now the issue is what's illegal and
what is not. And heg said is crazy. And if
they bring him back for the sole purpose of court
(11:22):
martialing him and demoting him, and they're going to go
for quote sedition, that's another one that's stupid. The death penalty,
that's just wrong. It's twenty years if you it's just
all of it sort of stupid, stupid, upon stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
He said, they did. You're at home. He did what
they did?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, what they did is First Amendment. It is First Amendment.
It is not sedition. You know what was sedition for real.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Uh, the overrunning of.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The capitol with twelve hundred people, that was real sedition
and of course they.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Were military personnel. Does don't have the right.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They don't have the same rights they have. But he
is a civilian. He is a civilian.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
That's one of the problems that they're going to have.
And because he could, but he hasn't been.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Recalled, right, But they will, and then they'll make him
say it again.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I don't know if you will. I don't know if
you will.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But if he admits, all all he'll admit is yes,
I said it, but I said it as a civilian.
I mean, this guy, they're never going to charge him,
never in a million years.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That one has way too many holes, all right.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
La to host the first Congressional hearing on effective immigration raid.
So they're poking through all of the stories from the
Long Beach Mayor of Boyle Heights. Pastor spoke out all
these stories of people being not only illegal in the
(12:45):
end documented but also legal residents and or American citizens
and issues that went down with that. So they're saying
that that many people don't feel safe around the ice
being enforced here. La Mayor Karen Bass and top Democratic
(13:06):
House Oversight and Government Reform committees announced last month that
they were opening a broad investigation with Congress.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I love La Mayor Karen Bass saying that Congress
is going to open an investigation. I am part of that.
Give me a break, okay, And then, of course it's
the Democrat who is opening it. But how far do
you think that's going to go when the Republicans in
fact control all the committees in the House.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Closing in on a deal, Apparently, Ukraine's government has agreed
to a peace deal brokered by the Trump administration to
stop Russia's nearly four year invasion. It said that details
do need to still be worked out, but that Ukrainian
President Volodimir Zelensky could travel through DC before the end
of this month to finalize the agreement. The news comes
(13:57):
as the US Army Secretary Dan Risco was an Abu
Dhabi meeting with Russian officials.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, it turns out that once this is done, and
considering what the president is insisting on, and the President's
going to probably make the call. Here is why did
Ukraine even fight Russians came in. They wanted the don
Bass region. They're getting it. They point to this other
place we also want that.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
They're getting it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
We don't want a we don't want a robust military
from Ukraine. We're knocking thirty percent of their number of
soldiers off the table. They're getting it. No, they don't
want Ukraine ever to go to NATO. They're getting it.
(14:47):
They're getting everything they want. The Russians. Why bother with
the war. That's the problem that's going on here. That's
the peace proposal. So, I mean, they're going to have
to give up something. So here's the news.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
If you happen to be a country and you want
parts of the other country, just invade.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's all you got to do is invade and the
piece comes out that you're gonna get what you're gonna get.
It's it's that disgusting, it really is. It's it's horrific.
This is a crazy story. So you've got this national
landlord group, Gray Star. They manage dozens of apartment complexes
(15:31):
in southern California. They're settling a lawsuit now. The lawsuit
alleges that the this massive property giant and other landlords
got together and colluded to keep rents artificially high.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
They use this.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
It's you know, this this page, this digital page that
keeps all the pricing. Its software that they use that
all these apartment operations use, and it sets rent prices.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Right.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
So apparently they're accused of working together to keep these
vacant units at a higher price, to keep it artificially inflated.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
That's collusion, for straight collusion. And you're not allowed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And of course they settle and didn't do anything wrong,
did not admit fault. How unusual.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Well, Grandma's gone. After more than a century roaming around
the San Diego Zoo, a beloved Galapagos tortoise named Grandma died.
She's the oldest resident of the zoo. She was estimated
to be about one hundred and forty one years old.
A zoo official say she came from the Bronx Zoo
in either nineteen twenty eight or thirty one as part
(16:48):
of its first Galopagos tortoise group. She lived through two
World Wars and twenty US presidents.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Wow, it's impressive, so has Bill, Yeah, go up. Those
turtles last a very long time.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Is it true that that she got ran over by
a reindeer.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
No, okay, I read different.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, yes you do.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
News outlet, Yeah okay.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
White House.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You know they were going to unveil their new healthcare
cost proposal. This has been something a sticking point that
has been, you know, overshadowing all of the government shut
down and all of that. But they have postponed it.
They were going to roll out a new proposal to
address healthcare just yesterday, I believe, and this was going
(17:41):
to avert, hopefully the spike and premiums driven by the
expiration of the Affordable Care Act.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Want what you want.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
A Republican has been fighting Obamacare since it was created.
We have a better plan, we have a better plan.
Just let us do our better plan. They have yet
to have a better plan, and that they've never come
up They've never come up with any plan, not eve one.
But we're gonna we finally have one. Oh no, we
(18:09):
actually don't. We thought we did, but no, it's going
to be postponed.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Wouldn't be funny if the actual idea is just to
rename it trump Care, that would.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Be Hilda, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'll tell you when this is going to blow up
in the Republicans' faces is come January thirty one, when
there's going to be another shutdown. We're looking at another
shutdown and we have yet to have a plan that
the Republicans are going to put forward. And if that
happens and people lose all their insurance because they have
(18:43):
a better plan, and it won't happen.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
This is exactly the same argument as day one prices
will be in half. You'll pay half of the prices
you're paying day one. Not really, and the new plan
not really. You wait till the midterms come. If it
keeps ongoing the way it's going, it's not going to
(19:06):
be pleasant for the Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
All right, we can do one more and then we'll
take a break.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Inglewood Police now required to post so apparently they've been
violating state public records. In an Ella County Superior Coorp
judge granted an ACLU motion for summary judgment. They said
that the Inglewood Police Department demonstrated a pattern and practice
of failing to comply with statutory obligations, meaning they didn't
(19:32):
comply for requests for police misconduct, including fatal shootings, documents
and those kinds of things. So now they have to
post the information on the website.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Sad story continues to unfold the death of that eighteen
year old girl on the Carnival cruise ship.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Her name was Anna Kepner.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
It's been ruled a homicide and they say it's mechanical affixiation,
so that is obviously someone being choked.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Uh there.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
They haven't come out and said, you know who the
suspect is, but there is some focus around Kepner's stepbrother.
We'll see how that pans out. But she was with
her grandparents or father, her stepmother, siblings and step siblings.
And I've read all kinds of stories about this and
how you know, don't know if they're true or not
(20:29):
about the stepbrother was infatuated with her in different other claims,
So we'll have to wait and see. But she was
found wrapped in a blanket with uh the life jacket
on under a bed, So I don't know if something,
you know, would you put a life jacket on somebody
if you're going to roll them off the side of a.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And then that and then that she was surrounded by
life vests as well, like they thought, oh we'll hide
her this way or take.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
A break, guys, because we are running a little bit late. Connor,
I'm sorry. I was trying to get the printer working.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It is a Tuesday morning, November twenty fifth, and I
actually am going to pay attention to the news this time,
as I was trying to get my printer to work,
and I was harassed by the morning crew.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Why don't we move on?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So she was only mostly dead, not completely dead. This
is a bizarre story out of Thailand. A woman apparently
died in quotes in Thailand and her sixty five or
her brother said, well, I'm gonna take her up and
get her cremated. So he drove like three hundred miles
to the place where he could get her cremated. And
(21:48):
then she started knocking on the coffin, so she wasn't
quite gone. Apparently her health had deteriorated. It's very sad.
She became unresponsive and stopped breathing, apparently a couple of
days ago. So that's when he took her off to
be cremated, and then she.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Started, oh, oh it's hot.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Well they got there before that started.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Oh, not much to say, all right, there is strange
alignment in a world of discontent and complete you know,
left right, all this. There's a new study out of
loyal LA mayormount that says that the vast majority of
LA County is in agreement on one particular topic, that
(22:34):
things are not going so good here in the city
of Angels So hundreds of Angelino's conducted this study. University's
Study LA team found that registered voters in Los Angeles
County think the government is off track and many believe
the only way to write the ship is with sweeping reform.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, and this is not just La. This is across
the country. People are really not happy.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I can't worry about all of them. I have to
worry about my own city. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
The confidence factor, the confidence index is truly in the toilet.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Well, they're mismanaging everything, all the money, the homeless situation
are you know, mass transit, everything is so wickedly mismanaged.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Let me ask you a question, is have we reached
the point where government is ungovernable, where it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Almost doesn't matter what you do.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It has its own The inertia has hit and it's
moving down a track that no one can really, you
can't take it off the track.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You have to do something to have inertia. There's they're
not no one's doing anything, and they're worrying about things
that are are are Listen, we all are concerned about
the climate, all of us. But I sometimes it seems
like where we won't spend money on our fourteen year
old child that needs a huge operation because we want
(24:09):
to have the money for their college, and it's like, well,
your kids can an example without the operation.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Example, and we're not going to spend money. Well, now
we're talking political climate change.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
We have had real with things now in the now
that have to be done before then.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Okay, so listen, by the way, you sound like Bill Gates,
That's exactly what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Moving on, Trump's going there, She's coming here. President Trump
says that he's going to head two Beijing in April,
and then we'll host Chinese President Jijinping for a state
visit later in twenty twenty six. Trump announced those plans
after he and she got off a phone call on Monday.
(24:51):
He said, our relationship with China is extremely strong. Now
we can set our sites on the big picture. And
then they announced the ravel plans after detailing a trade
deal framework with China. That will mean that soybeans will
be purchased by China, and that also export restrictions on
rare earth minerals will be loosened.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, that's this week, and the only reason that decision
is going to stay till the end of the week
is because it's Thanksgiving week. Come Monday Tuesday of next week,
it will probably be a whole different set of circumstances
as to where who is going to go and what's
going to change. I think we have time to finish
(25:34):
one more.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Yeah, we've heard of flights being canceled before, but very
rarely is it because of a volcano. But flights have
been canceled after an Ethiopian volcano erupts for the first
time in twelve thousand years. So it puts this massive
ash cloud. You know, we've seen that before that not
