Speaker 1 (00:27):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Good morning everybody, Bill Handle. Here, my little one came up. Oh,
I have the beauty. I'm sorry about that. Yay. We
started right on time, so my little dog came up
said hello, and that's more important than anything. All right, Hello, Hello,
all right, Monday more November seventeenth's over right on top
(01:03):
of all right. We're right on top of Thanksgiving, so
that's too already. Cono says number one. Mute number two,
talk more into your mic. I had the mic in
the wrong place, Neil, How long have I been doing this?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I can tell you, sir, it doesn't show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It does not show. I consistently win the most Professional
Broadcaster of the Year. We have a an award and
I usually win it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
And it's not like anything is new. No, you've been doing.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
This since I became since I was an intern in
ninety four. I know, I know, it's really weird.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You know, when I run into people and typically I'll say,
they'll say, I don't know how you still have a job. Bag.
I don't know either.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't It's John Cobelt, I know, I know. All right?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Where was I?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I was at Monday, November seventeenth? Coming up again? It's
next Thursday? Right? Is it Thanksgiving or the following Thursday.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's a week from this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yes, okay, I don't keep track. Fair enough, I've got
to yet to figure out what I'm gonna do for Thanksgiving?
No idea? Okay, And I'll be asking you guys as
we move along. All right, let me say hello to
one and all. Will I'm gonna start with you this morning.
Good morning, Bill, Good morning Bill. Yeah, no, I got it.
(02:28):
For some reason, you almost look like a clergyman in
that outfit. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm just it's kind
of a a zip up thing. Oh okay, got it? Yeah,
very okay, fair enough, anyway, work out. All of our
elevators here are broken, Bill, Oh you had to walk
up the stairs. How unusual elevator is broken, and noel
Ihart doesn't own the building, so they'll probably be repaired
(02:49):
fairly quickly.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, and then they didn't tell us how to get
up to the floor. There was an arrow and a
staircase to nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Fantastic.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
They've been out since this weekend. Yeah, we had to
cancel our guests and do it via phone. I wasn't
gonna have people bring food up four flights. Why not,
because I am connected to humanity and food for them.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know, as long as you're getting food, I don't
care if they hike a mile and then four flights up.
So I don't understand all the elevators are out, yes, yes, yeah,
even the freight, all of them out. I don't get
that because the elevators are singular units, and so you
(03:45):
can you know, whenever we're elevators out in a building,
you no, no, no, in a building you I've been
We've been in this building for what I don't know,
twenty something years, and we've seen elevators with one out
in other buildings. There's one. This is not in service.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
It's the key cards. So to get up to certain floors.
You have to have a key card that gives you access,
because I was able to get in the elevator in
the main bank, but once you got in, you couldn't
get the key card to open up. And the same
thing happened with the freight elevator. You couldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, all right, so is that mechanism? Okay, that makes sense.
That resonates anyway, Good morning Amy, Hi, Hi. And then
there's the lovely Cono. Good morning Cono. Hey, thanks for that.
And last and possibly least it's Anne. Good morning Anne,
shaking her head to her, what do you mean? Last
(04:36):
and possibly least, Yeah, but I didn't say she was least,
but possibly well yeah, okay, but we're all possibly leased.
And next is Bill Handle, possibly a man. Possibly depends
on what it depends on what stage of the surgery
we're at.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You owe Ann a vacation, Hey, send her somewhere nice.
Don't you have a couple of villas or something? I
don't know, Yeah, I have a couple of villas.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, I don't know what your you know based on
but based on what you say on the air, people
think I'm insanely wealthy, and that is completely nuts.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Compared to us.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You are, well, everybody's wealthy compared to you. I mean
you're nots iHeart. Please give me a break. You know,
the guy working at McDonald's who now makes twenty bucks
an hour makes more than most of the people working
here at iHeart. Are they hiring iHeart or McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
McDonald's, You know, I don't know if they are or not,
because man, i'd get in management like this.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, I don't know if fast food restaurants are still hiring.
I used to. I don't go to fast food restaurants
very often, so you know, you'd see a sign in
every fast food establishment now hiring, and you would know this,
are fast food restaurants hiring as much as they used to?
Or is employment level seven? I have interviews ready to go. Well,
(05:58):
that's very funny.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Okay, Oh, it's funny. It's funny that you think she's joking.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I know it's absolutely true. All right, what's going
on there? Oh? We got a lot to cover today.
First of all, I started watching the Chargers game. Gotta
get into football. Boy, didn't they do well over the weekend? Wow?
And they were favored to win, weren't they? Yeah? I
think so yeah, didn't have didn't have a good day?
(06:25):
All right? Rams did? Okay? Rams won beat the Seahawks.
Oh okay, So that's enough of football. Okay, We're done
with sports. Talking on, moving on, We've got some We've
got some news with the president. Did he change his
mind twice or three times over the weekend? Certainly on
just twice? And now we got the Epstein the Epstein files.
(06:48):
Now he is in favor of releasing the Epstein files.
But I have a question they ask I'm gonna talk
about it a little bit later on before we start.
I handle on the news is he has asked the
Republicans to to now vote in favor of releasing the
Epstein files. What am I missing here? He can make
one phone call to Pam Bondy this morning at ten
(07:11):
o'clock and the files released by three o'clock. What am
I missing here in saying.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
The theatrics of vote on this.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I don't quite get it. I really don't. And
then I'll talk more about this a little bit later on,
because I think the line has been crossed when it
comes to pedophiles, to not releasing information about pedophiles and
major players involved in Jeff Epstein. That's where the line
(07:45):
is drawing. You know, the President is saying, oh, no,
it's a hoax, It's a Democrat hoax, while you have
these survivors that are showing their pictures of what they
look like when they were traffic by Jeff free Epstein
and raped as minors, and the President saying it's a hoax.
(08:06):
As a hoax that is not flying, That ain't flying.
So we'll talk about the politics of that. What do
you think Bill Clinton's doing today sweating bullets?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You know what, I don't think. I think what I
don't believe that any of these major players were involved
in the actual sex or molestation of the girls. I
think they're just a lot closer to Epstein, and some
of them may have known what was going on.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That tells you something A listener sent that I thought
was interesting, and that was that didn't Donald Trump at
one point own like Miss teen USA or something and
make some comment about one of the perks is being
able to walk into the dressing room at any times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't know, No, Miss Tenuous, I know he had
Miss I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Somebody I didn't fact check it, but somebody did mention
that I thought I'd throw it out into the mix.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, let's do it handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me lead story, Jeff. Jeff is exactly what
I was talking about. So I'm gonna, obviously at seven
o'clock dive a little bit deeper into that. So let's
go on to story number.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Two, turning down the temperature. Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green,
so she's going to stop using toxic rhetoric. Her comments
came on CNN during an interview with Dana Bash after
her say split with President Trump went to a new
(09:41):
level because Trump then has attacked her and called her
Marjorie Trader Green, and she says she's worried that Trump's
rhetoric toward her could lead to violence. She says she's
received some death threats.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, of course. And this goes to the point that
I've been making for a very long time. If you
say anything against Donald Trump, you are a trader to
the United States and the Constitution. That is scary stuff,
that really is. And how many people, how many MAGA
followers believe that she truly is a trader to the
(10:14):
United States Simply by disagreeing with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Do you think she's on limit? Though now I change.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I think that in certain cases the line was crossed
as far as she's concerned, that is insurance under Obamacare,
that is these Epstein files also the issue of he
is far more concerned with foreign affairs than with domestic affairs,
(10:41):
that he cares a little about the actual people of
the United States, arguing, for example, prices are actually down,
and those who say prices are up it's part of
a democratic hoax. As people are spending more money at
the Czech stand and he is saying, you're not and
need more money at the zechstand because prices are down.
(11:04):
And if you say anything against that, you are part
of this democratic hoax. And I got to tell you,
it's getting a little frazzle, to say the least with
the president. And so she's split and instead of the
President saying, you know, I have you know, we have differences.
People who are on the same team can think differently. Right,
(11:28):
that's not this president no way. She is a trader.
Let me ask you something. If he had the power,
do you think he would arrest her for treason and
being a trader to this country?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I think he's absurd. There's things that he does that
surprised the hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, I know, And he's changed his mind because the
political pressure was so overwhelming on this Epstein file. It's
just it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The flight restriction.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Matter of fact, it would have happened what twenty four
minutes ago or something.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Like that three am our time, Yes, oh, six am Eastern.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
So that's done.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That means all the flights will resume operations as normal.
And they announced this yesterday. So that emergency order that
has been shifting everything and causing all kinds of problems
has now gone done. So those cuts which started with
that four percent reduction you remember in flights forty major
airports on November seventh, all that stuff is rolled back
(12:29):
in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, which is great news.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, now we just go back to your normal shortage
of air traffic controllers.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes, George has arrived. Oh nope, it's not George. It's Gerald,
the nation's most advanced aircraft carrier has arrived in the Caribbean.
The USS Gerald R Ford and some other warships are
now in the waters as they conduct military strikes against
(13:02):
boats that are suspected of transporting drugs. The Trump administration
insists this is a counter drug operation, but it's being
seen as an escalating pressure tactic against Venezuela's president, Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, don't you find it interesting that they're attacking these boats.
I think they've attacked twenty of them, and it takes
an aircraft carrier task force. Do you know how much
money it costs to move an aircraft because it's not
you an aircraft carrier. It's not just the gerald Ford.
There's a dozen ships that go with it, including submarines,
(13:37):
and so it's clearly more than just these very fast boats.
And by the way, they all are drug smuggling boats.
I mean, there's no question about it. The only issue
is what do you need to do this? And so
you've got the Maduro situation and it's going to be
a regime change, probably not. And it's cocaine, by the way,
(13:58):
that's flying from that part of the world. It's not
the fentanyl that's killing everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Look at you defending cocaine.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I am. I love all that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Law school, get right.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I spit. I spent a lot of years in joining cocaine.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Hey, Bill Handle's buddy Donald Trump party partying more January
sixth writers. So back at that, if you remember back
twenty twenty one, the riots there at the US Capitol.
President issued pardons for Suzanne ellen K who served eighteen
months for threatening to shoot FBI agents.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
That that can't be good.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And this was all during that investigation into her involvement
into the riots. And she posted she had videos that
were titled f the FBI and but with the whole
word and all that stuff, she'd shoot your f ing
a and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
So she's she's pardon. That's great.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
And then Daniel Win Wilson, who remained in prison despite
Trump's pardons, that we kept seeing a bunch of the
January sixth writers, and it was due to an unlawful
firearms possession conviction.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So yeah, the only pardoned people that were related to
January six In other words, the crime had to be
a January six violation.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Now that he basically broadened it to firearms, illegal firearms
and threatening the FBI.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, I don't know why he just issues a general
pardon for anybody who has backed him up across the board.
Any prisoner in the United States who has been in
favor of President Trump is hereby officially pardoned.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Well, god forbid, But if I got arrested, I'm going
to be the biggest Trump supporter.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh you bet, you, you bet?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You could OJ finally pay, maybe his estate will. State
of the late OJ Simpson has officially accepted a multimillion
dollar claim from Fred Goldman, of course, Ron Goldman's dad,
thirty one years after the family won a wrongful death
(16:13):
suit against Simpson. The amount is almost fifty eight million dollars.
The state's executor says it plans to pay out as
much of the amount as possible as they continue to
auction off items. They had this judgment thirty one years
ago and they've seen no money.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
No money, So now they're going to get some money.
How much you think this memorabilia is worth? What a
million dollars? Maybe not even it wouldn't even be close.
So all the state has said, okay, we'll sell this
stuff and give it to you. I'm surprised there's still
(16:51):
a memorabilia in the estate.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
They should sell the bloody knife and the bloody gloves
and a bloody Bruno Malli's or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, I don't think they have those because I know
the he I know the Heisman Trophy was taken and
that's been sold off. I believe now was probably the
biggest one. So I don't know how much they have.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
All Right, the US is about to become a sausage fest,
you know what I'm saying, No one, Okay, More American
women say that they are ready to move out and
want to move out of the United States permanently in
twenty twenty five. This is more than any time in
(17:34):
the past two decades. So it's primarily with younger women.
You're looking at fifteen to forty four say they would
leave the United States permanently if they could. That's four
times what it was in twenty fourteen, when ten percent
of women and girls who wanted to leave the country
(17:54):
was generally in line kind of with the average gender
and everything like that.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So yeah, I'll do more of that at seven twenty. Obviously,
there are a lot of pieces on this one, and
its political for the most part.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
All right, Moving on, Trump blocked in court again. Federal
judge has blocked the administration from in imposing a one
point two billion dollar fine against UCLA along with stipulations
for deep campus changes in exchange for being eligible for
federal grants. The decision a major win for universities that
(18:27):
have been trying to resist President Trump's pressure to discipline
what he calls very bad universities. He says those universities
have mistreated Jewish students, forcing the schools to pay those
huge fines and agree to adhere to more conservative policies.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, and he's right about that. I mean, the universities
are very left wing and they are pro palaced Indian.
One point two billion dollars maybe a little tough, because
that makes no sense. There's no connection in terms of
one point two billion dollars in the wrongdoing. And it
is just another way that the President and the conservatives
(19:09):
are saying, we will take over the universities. Uh, that's
it's that simple. And how do they do this with
federal funding of programs research? Medical research? It's pretty scary stuff,
it really is.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
And they're trying to take over the university.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I think they're trying to take over the curriculum. I
think they're trying to say, we will tell you what
you cannot teach.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Wow, do you think do you think that's scary that
a school would only have one political view.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, I I do, I do, I do. That's scary.
And I'm not, by the way, I am not arguing
that changes have to be made, and there were, and
the government can uh, you know, there are internal pressures
that can be done. One point two billion dollars is
kind of an insane fine. I mean, that's just uh,
that's just way over in. And then the other and
(20:01):
then the and then the other part is cutting off
medical research, which has nothing to do with politics. Medical
research has to do with cancer, research has to do
with diseases, has to do with just you know, making
a life better for Americans and curing problems and syndromes,
(20:22):
and it's it doesn't make any sense. Now it's going
to go up to the courts. Do I think the
court is going to allow the president to do this? Yes,
the president. I think the court is going to say
the president has unfettered power and can stop federal funding
for any reason he wants. Yeah, that's that's the scary part.
(20:44):
I mean, there is I think there are other ways
of doing it, but yeah, in the end, yes, I
agree with him. There has been a lot of anti
Semitism and this pro Palestinian I mean when I went
to school, this crazy left wing stuff, and that was
way back when.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
All right back to the UCS, this time UC nurses.
They were planning that labor strike University of California nurses.
I think we talked about this a little bit last week,
but it has been called off. The university system and
the nurses union in this particular case reached a deal
at least a tentative one at this point on pay.
(21:24):
Benefits were in there. It's the usual stuff that we
hear about in both groups announced just yesterday that they
were going to move forward in good faith on this.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Hey, is anybody surprised that there's twenty five thousand registered
nurses working for the UC system.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I had no idea the numbers were that big. But anyway,
they have agreed a deal has been reached.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Not just universities seeing anti semitism. In three separate rulings,
the California Department of Education, also known as the Department
of Education, has determined that the Oakland School District created
a discriminatory environment against Jewish students and staff that goes
against what the district found an attorney, Marlene Sachs, has
(22:14):
represented Jewish families in the district. She said there are
anti Israel discussions, assemblies, pro Palestinian posters, maps hanging in
teachers classrooms and district hallways and school hallways and administrative offices.
There are certain schools where it is a wash in
pro Palestinian propaganda, which is not appropriate. She says, the
district is a hostile environment for Jews and Israelis.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I don't doubt that that's happening. Now. The question is
how recent is this? Because if you're looking at an
influx of this kind of thinking and the way these
people are acting as a result of what Israel has
done to Gaza during the war against Hamas, and Israel
(23:02):
has committed war crimes, there's no question in my mind.
Sixty nine thousand people killed and what Israel has done
with human with humanitarian aid and stopped it cold. Now
did this happen before all of this the Israeli war?
I think that's a difference, and frankly I believe it.
(23:23):
Elkland is very very liberal, and very very liberal usually
means propalaesin an anti Israel, not so much anti Jewish,
but anti Israel, and that is where it conflates, because
if you're pro Zionist, you're automatically Jewish and the two
(23:43):
cannot be separated. Except there are plenty of Jews that
are against what Israel has done, including me in terms
of the humanitarian aid and the indiscriminated killing. And I
believe that.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
How come everybody's anti fascist unless they're brown. You've got
terrorists running these gaza that are absolute fascists in every
single way to.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
The they're our eye terrorists and fascist. Yeah, but it's like, uh,
I don't know, it's bizarre. Yeah, but you know, the
issue is the humanitarian aid. How do you let people starve? Literally,
how do you get an entire people starve? That's the problem. Uh.
And there have been too many atrocities that have occurred,
(24:32):
although the Israelis are saying we have no choice. If
you have terrorists that are embedded in the population and
you have control centers, command and control centers that are
underneath hospitals, what do you do. It's a little more complicated,
but yes, Oakland Unified. It's a question of time. I
(24:52):
don't know how long they've been doing this.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
So more gambling and sports probes, massive investigation and unfolding
in the NBA. You've got staff members from multiple teams,
not just one team. But it does include the Lakers
now being asked to turn over their cell phones and
different property that they have, So I guess this would
(25:16):
be part of the actual investigation to see what's been
done on the phones and things like that. So you
had a bunch of staffers across the league that were
contacted after federal prosecutor prosecutors rather revealed new details in
the criminal case from last month involving alleged illegal betting
(25:38):
schemes tied to insider injury information things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So yeah, I find it weird. There's two issues here
that I'll understand. I Number one, the story about a
couple of ballplayers who make millions of dollars involved in
throwing games that I don't get. And if you're going
to do something like this, why would you put it
in text form? Because texts are retrievable, where if you're
(26:07):
just having a conversation over the phone, it is not people.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Are lazy, but you could track. You could track the
fact that they called somebody and the times of the
calls and things like that.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Okay, caught up in Charlotte's web. Federal Border Patrol agents
have detained eighty one people across Charlotte, North Carolina. It
happened on Saturday, the first day of an operation that's
already drying criticism over aggressive tactics. The Border Patrol agents
(26:40):
fanned out across immigrant neighborhoods on Saturday, and then get
did it again on Sunday, prompting a lot of businesses
that cater to immigrants to close down. A flea market
didn't open, Catholic churches were unusually empty on Sunday, and
nightclubs in the city that play reggaetone music on Saturday
nights decided not to open either.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And the majority of people that are being arrested are
not criminals, have not been charged, much less not been convicted.
So the worst of the worst, well, yeah, there are
some of the worst of the worst, but there are
a lot of people being swept up, and it is
it's heartbreaking for a lot of families, and I think
(27:22):
most Americans think that the government has gone too far
in terms of the tactics.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You wish they would have just worked it out with
law and local law enforcement to find out you know
who the bad ones are statistic communication, but.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
They can't do that because law enforcement isn't allowed to
work with ice.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
In my exact Yes, okay, that's true, so you do
with just the sweep of everybody. On the other hand,
if you're not going after the bad ones, you're not
arresting anybody. But it's a question of the tactics too.
It's a question of how aggressive you can arrest people
without pulling them out of cars. Although I don't know
how often that happens.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I've seen murderers treated way better.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, yeah, And I told you the story about a
dawn when Jeanette came in the way he was treated
by isis it's just unconscionable. Oh my god, Well, this
is all plug your ears bill. It's not true.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
We plug your ears, buddy. I'm sorry, it's in there.
Uh so. Suit claims Costco's Kirkland tequila's are not only
mixed with low grade booze. Some tests found that some
of the Kirkland brand tequilas were so adulterated they didn't
(28:41):
even qualify as tequila under Mexic law.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Isn't that totally surprising?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Aren't you.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It is surprising because how fanatic Costco is for uh
for quality.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Here, Kirkland brands are usually.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Very yes, are insane. So it looks like Smarten Final
is going to be my new choice.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Huh okay, so kind of crazy butt Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Good morning everybody, Bill Handle. Here, my little one came up. Oh,
I have the beauty. I'm sorry about that. Yay. We
started right on time, so my little dog came up
said hello, and that's more important than anything. All right, Hello, Hello,
all right, Monday more November seventeenth's over right on top
(01:03):
of all right. We're right on top of Thanksgiving, so
that's too already. Cono says number one. Mute number two,
talk more into your mic. I had the mic in
the wrong place, Neil, How long have I been doing this?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I can tell you, sir, it doesn't show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It does not show. I consistently win the most Professional
Broadcaster of the Year. We have a an award and
I usually win it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
And it's not like anything is new. No, you've been doing.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
This since I became since I was an intern in
ninety four. I know, I know, it's really weird.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You know, when I run into people and typically I'll say,
they'll say, I don't know how you still have a job. Bag.
I don't know either.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't It's John Cobelt, I know, I know. All right?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Where was I?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I was at Monday, November seventeenth? Coming up again? It's
next Thursday? Right? Is it Thanksgiving or the following Thursday.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's a week from this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yes, okay, I don't keep track. Fair enough, I've got
to yet to figure out what I'm gonna do for Thanksgiving?
No idea? Okay, And I'll be asking you guys as
we move along. All right, let me say hello to
one and all. Will I'm gonna start with you this morning.
Good morning, Bill, Good morning Bill. Yeah, no, I got it.
(02:28):
For some reason, you almost look like a clergyman in
that outfit. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm just it's kind
of a a zip up thing. Oh okay, got it? Yeah,
very okay, fair enough, anyway, work out. All of our
elevators here are broken, Bill, Oh you had to walk
up the stairs. How unusual elevator is broken, and noel
Ihart doesn't own the building, so they'll probably be repaired
(02:49):
fairly quickly.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, and then they didn't tell us how to get
up to the floor. There was an arrow and a
staircase to nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Fantastic.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
They've been out since this weekend. Yeah, we had to
cancel our guests and do it via phone. I wasn't
gonna have people bring food up four flights. Why not,
because I am connected to humanity and food for them.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know, as long as you're getting food, I don't
care if they hike a mile and then four flights up.
So I don't understand all the elevators are out, yes, yes, yeah,
even the freight, all of them out. I don't get
that because the elevators are singular units, and so you
(03:45):
can you know, whenever we're elevators out in a building,
you no, no, no, in a building you I've been
We've been in this building for what I don't know,
twenty something years, and we've seen elevators with one out
in other buildings. There's one. This is not in service.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
It's the key cards. So to get up to certain floors.
You have to have a key card that gives you access,
because I was able to get in the elevator in
the main bank, but once you got in, you couldn't
get the key card to open up. And the same
thing happened with the freight elevator. You couldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, all right, so is that mechanism? Okay, that makes sense.
That resonates anyway, Good morning Amy, Hi, Hi. And then
there's the lovely Cono. Good morning Cono. Hey, thanks for that.
And last and possibly least it's Anne. Good morning Anne,
shaking her head to her, what do you mean? Last
(04:36):
and possibly least, Yeah, but I didn't say she was least,
but possibly well yeah, okay, but we're all possibly leased.
And next is Bill Handle, possibly a man. Possibly depends
on what it depends on what stage of the surgery
we're at.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You owe Ann a vacation, Hey, send her somewhere nice.
Don't you have a couple of villas or something? I
don't know, Yeah, I have a couple of villas.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, I don't know what your you know based on
but based on what you say on the air, people
think I'm insanely wealthy, and that is completely nuts.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Compared to us.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You are, well, everybody's wealthy compared to you. I mean
you're nots iHeart. Please give me a break. You know,
the guy working at McDonald's who now makes twenty bucks
an hour makes more than most of the people working
here at iHeart. Are they hiring iHeart or McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
McDonald's, You know, I don't know if they are or not,
because man, i'd get in management like this.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, I don't know if fast food restaurants are still hiring.
I used to. I don't go to fast food restaurants
very often, so you know, you'd see a sign in
every fast food establishment now hiring, and you would know this,
are fast food restaurants hiring as much as they used to?
Or is employment level seven? I have interviews ready to go. Well,
(05:58):
that's very funny.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Okay, Oh, it's funny. It's funny that you think she's joking.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I know it's absolutely true. All right, what's going
on there? Oh? We got a lot to cover today.
First of all, I started watching the Chargers game. Gotta
get into football. Boy, didn't they do well over the weekend? Wow?
And they were favored to win, weren't they? Yeah? I
think so yeah, didn't have didn't have a good day?
(06:25):
All right? Rams did? Okay? Rams won beat the Seahawks.
Oh okay, So that's enough of football. Okay, We're done
with sports. Talking on, moving on, We've got some We've
got some news with the president. Did he change his
mind twice or three times over the weekend? Certainly on
just twice? And now we got the Epstein the Epstein files.
(06:48):
Now he is in favor of releasing the Epstein files.
But I have a question they ask I'm gonna talk
about it a little bit later on before we start.
I handle on the news is he has asked the
Republicans to to now vote in favor of releasing the
Epstein files. What am I missing here? He can make
one phone call to Pam Bondy this morning at ten
(07:11):
o'clock and the files released by three o'clock. What am
I missing here in saying.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
The theatrics of vote on this.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I don't quite get it. I really don't. And
then I'll talk more about this a little bit later on,
because I think the line has been crossed when it
comes to pedophiles, to not releasing information about pedophiles and
major players involved in Jeff Epstein. That's where the line
(07:45):
is drawing. You know, the President is saying, oh, no,
it's a hoax, It's a Democrat hoax, while you have
these survivors that are showing their pictures of what they
look like when they were traffic by Jeff free Epstein
and raped as minors, and the President saying it's a hoax.
(08:06):
As a hoax that is not flying, That ain't flying.
So we'll talk about the politics of that. What do
you think Bill Clinton's doing today sweating bullets?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
You know what, I don't think. I think what I
don't believe that any of these major players were involved
in the actual sex or molestation of the girls. I
think they're just a lot closer to Epstein, and some
of them may have known what was going on.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That tells you something A listener sent that I thought
was interesting, and that was that didn't Donald Trump at
one point own like Miss teen USA or something and
make some comment about one of the perks is being
able to walk into the dressing room at any times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't know, No, Miss Tenuous, I know he had
Miss I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Somebody I didn't fact check it, but somebody did mention
that I thought I'd throw it out into the mix.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, let's do it handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me lead story, Jeff. Jeff is exactly what
I was talking about. So I'm gonna, obviously at seven
o'clock dive a little bit deeper into that. So let's
go on to story number.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Two, turning down the temperature. Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green,
so she's going to stop using toxic rhetoric. Her comments
came on CNN during an interview with Dana Bash after
her say split with President Trump went to a new
(09:41):
level because Trump then has attacked her and called her
Marjorie Trader Green, and she says she's worried that Trump's
rhetoric toward her could lead to violence. She says she's
received some death threats.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, of course. And this goes to the point that
I've been making for a very long time. If you
say anything against Donald Trump, you are a trader to
the United States and the Constitution. That is scary stuff,
that really is. And how many people, how many MAGA
followers believe that she truly is a trader to the
(10:14):
United States Simply by disagreeing with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Do you think she's on limit? Though now I change.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I think that in certain cases the line was crossed
as far as she's concerned, that is insurance under Obamacare,
that is these Epstein files also the issue of he
is far more concerned with foreign affairs than with domestic affairs,
(10:41):
that he cares a little about the actual people of
the United States, arguing, for example, prices are actually down,
and those who say prices are up it's part of
a democratic hoax. As people are spending more money at
the Czech stand and he is saying, you're not and
need more money at the zechstand because prices are down.
(11:04):
And if you say anything against that, you are part
of this democratic hoax. And I got to tell you,
it's getting a little frazzle, to say the least with
the president. And so she's split and instead of the
President saying, you know, I have you know, we have differences.
People who are on the same team can think differently. Right,
(11:28):
that's not this president no way. She is a trader.
Let me ask you something. If he had the power,
do you think he would arrest her for treason and
being a trader to this country?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I think he's absurd. There's things that he does that
surprised the hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, I know, And he's changed his mind because the
political pressure was so overwhelming on this Epstein file. It's
just it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The flight restriction.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Matter of fact, it would have happened what twenty four
minutes ago or something.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Like that three am our time, Yes, oh, six am Eastern.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
So that's done.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That means all the flights will resume operations as normal.
And they announced this yesterday. So that emergency order that
has been shifting everything and causing all kinds of problems
has now gone done. So those cuts which started with
that four percent reduction you remember in flights forty major
airports on November seventh, all that stuff is rolled back
(12:29):
in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, which is great news.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, now we just go back to your normal shortage
of air traffic controllers.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes, George has arrived. Oh nope, it's not George. It's Gerald,
the nation's most advanced aircraft carrier has arrived in the Caribbean.
The USS Gerald R Ford and some other warships are
now in the waters as they conduct military strikes against
(13:02):
boats that are suspected of transporting drugs. The Trump administration
insists this is a counter drug operation, but it's being
seen as an escalating pressure tactic against Venezuela's president, Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, don't you find it interesting that they're attacking these boats.
I think they've attacked twenty of them, and it takes
an aircraft carrier task force. Do you know how much
money it costs to move an aircraft because it's not
you an aircraft carrier. It's not just the gerald Ford.
There's a dozen ships that go with it, including submarines,
(13:37):
and so it's clearly more than just these very fast boats.
And by the way, they all are drug smuggling boats.
I mean, there's no question about it. The only issue
is what do you need to do this? And so
you've got the Maduro situation and it's going to be
a regime change, probably not. And it's cocaine, by the way,
(13:58):
that's flying from that part of the world. It's not
the fentanyl that's killing everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Look at you defending cocaine.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I am. I love all that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Law school, get right.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I spit. I spent a lot of years in joining cocaine.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Hey, Bill Handle's buddy Donald Trump party partying more January
sixth writers. So back at that, if you remember back
twenty twenty one, the riots there at the US Capitol.
President issued pardons for Suzanne ellen K who served eighteen
months for threatening to shoot FBI agents.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
That that can't be good.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And this was all during that investigation into her involvement
into the riots. And she posted she had videos that
were titled f the FBI and but with the whole
word and all that stuff, she'd shoot your f ing
a and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
So she's she's pardon. That's great.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
And then Daniel Win Wilson, who remained in prison despite
Trump's pardons, that we kept seeing a bunch of the
January sixth writers, and it was due to an unlawful
firearms possession conviction.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So yeah, the only pardoned people that were related to
January six In other words, the crime had to be
a January six violation.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Now that he basically broadened it to firearms, illegal firearms
and threatening the FBI.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, I don't know why he just issues a general
pardon for anybody who has backed him up across the board.
Any prisoner in the United States who has been in
favor of President Trump is hereby officially pardoned.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Well, god forbid, But if I got arrested, I'm going
to be the biggest Trump supporter.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh you bet, you, you bet?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You could OJ finally pay, maybe his estate will. State
of the late OJ Simpson has officially accepted a multimillion
dollar claim from Fred Goldman, of course, Ron Goldman's dad,
thirty one years after the family won a wrongful death
(16:13):
suit against Simpson. The amount is almost fifty eight million dollars.
The state's executor says it plans to pay out as
much of the amount as possible as they continue to
auction off items. They had this judgment thirty one years
ago and they've seen no money.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
No money, So now they're going to get some money.
How much you think this memorabilia is worth? What a
million dollars? Maybe not even it wouldn't even be close.
So all the state has said, okay, we'll sell this
stuff and give it to you. I'm surprised there's still
(16:51):
a memorabilia in the estate.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
They should sell the bloody knife and the bloody gloves
and a bloody Bruno Malli's or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, I don't think they have those because I know
the he I know the Heisman Trophy was taken and
that's been sold off. I believe now was probably the
biggest one. So I don't know how much they have.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
All Right, the US is about to become a sausage fest,
you know what I'm saying, No one, Okay, More American
women say that they are ready to move out and
want to move out of the United States permanently in
twenty twenty five. This is more than any time in
(17:34):
the past two decades. So it's primarily with younger women.
You're looking at fifteen to forty four say they would
leave the United States permanently if they could. That's four
times what it was in twenty fourteen, when ten percent
of women and girls who wanted to leave the country
(17:54):
was generally in line kind of with the average gender
and everything like that.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So yeah, I'll do more of that at seven twenty. Obviously,
there are a lot of pieces on this one, and
its political for the most part.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
All right, Moving on, Trump blocked in court again. Federal
judge has blocked the administration from in imposing a one
point two billion dollar fine against UCLA along with stipulations
for deep campus changes in exchange for being eligible for
federal grants. The decision a major win for universities that
(18:27):
have been trying to resist President Trump's pressure to discipline
what he calls very bad universities. He says those universities
have mistreated Jewish students, forcing the schools to pay those
huge fines and agree to adhere to more conservative policies.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, and he's right about that. I mean, the universities
are very left wing and they are pro palaced Indian.
One point two billion dollars maybe a little tough, because
that makes no sense. There's no connection in terms of
one point two billion dollars in the wrongdoing. And it
is just another way that the President and the conservatives
(19:09):
are saying, we will take over the universities. Uh, that's
it's that simple. And how do they do this with
federal funding of programs research? Medical research? It's pretty scary stuff,
it really is.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
And they're trying to take over the university.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I think they're trying to take over the curriculum. I
think they're trying to say, we will tell you what
you cannot teach.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Wow, do you think do you think that's scary that
a school would only have one political view.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, I I do, I do, I do. That's scary.
And I'm not, by the way, I am not arguing
that changes have to be made, and there were, and
the government can uh, you know, there are internal pressures
that can be done. One point two billion dollars is
kind of an insane fine. I mean, that's just uh,
that's just way over in. And then the other and
(20:01):
then the and then the other part is cutting off
medical research, which has nothing to do with politics. Medical
research has to do with cancer, research has to do
with diseases, has to do with just you know, making
a life better for Americans and curing problems and syndromes,
(20:22):
and it's it doesn't make any sense. Now it's going
to go up to the courts. Do I think the
court is going to allow the president to do this? Yes,
the president. I think the court is going to say
the president has unfettered power and can stop federal funding
for any reason he wants. Yeah, that's that's the scary part.
(20:44):
I mean, there is I think there are other ways
of doing it, but yeah, in the end, yes, I
agree with him. There has been a lot of anti
Semitism and this pro Palestinian I mean when I went
to school, this crazy left wing stuff, and that was
way back when.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
All right back to the UCS, this time UC nurses.
They were planning that labor strike University of California nurses.
I think we talked about this a little bit last week,
but it has been called off. The university system and
the nurses union in this particular case reached a deal
at least a tentative one at this point on pay.
(21:24):
Benefits were in there. It's the usual stuff that we
hear about in both groups announced just yesterday that they
were going to move forward in good faith on this.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Hey, is anybody surprised that there's twenty five thousand registered
nurses working for the UC system.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I had no idea the numbers were that big. But anyway,
they have agreed a deal has been reached.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Not just universities seeing anti semitism. In three separate rulings,
the California Department of Education, also known as the Department
of Education, has determined that the Oakland School District created
a discriminatory environment against Jewish students and staff that goes
against what the district found an attorney, Marlene Sachs, has
(22:14):
represented Jewish families in the district. She said there are
anti Israel discussions, assemblies, pro Palestinian posters, maps hanging in
teachers classrooms and district hallways and school hallways and administrative offices.
There are certain schools where it is a wash in
pro Palestinian propaganda, which is not appropriate. She says, the
district is a hostile environment for Jews and Israelis.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I don't doubt that that's happening. Now. The question is
how recent is this? Because if you're looking at an
influx of this kind of thinking and the way these
people are acting as a result of what Israel has
done to Gaza during the war against Hamas, and Israel
(23:02):
has committed war crimes, there's no question in my mind.
Sixty nine thousand people killed and what Israel has done
with human with humanitarian aid and stopped it cold. Now
did this happen before all of this the Israeli war?
I think that's a difference, and frankly I believe it.
(23:23):
Elkland is very very liberal, and very very liberal usually
means propalaesin an anti Israel, not so much anti Jewish,
but anti Israel, and that is where it conflates, because
if you're pro Zionist, you're automatically Jewish and the two
(23:43):
cannot be separated. Except there are plenty of Jews that
are against what Israel has done, including me in terms
of the humanitarian aid and the indiscriminated killing. And I
believe that.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
How come everybody's anti fascist unless they're brown. You've got
terrorists running these gaza that are absolute fascists in every
single way to.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
The they're our eye terrorists and fascist. Yeah, but it's like, uh,
I don't know, it's bizarre. Yeah, but you know, the
issue is the humanitarian aid. How do you let people starve? Literally,
how do you get an entire people starve? That's the problem. Uh.
And there have been too many atrocities that have occurred,
(24:32):
although the Israelis are saying we have no choice. If
you have terrorists that are embedded in the population and
you have control centers, command and control centers that are
underneath hospitals, what do you do. It's a little more complicated,
but yes, Oakland Unified. It's a question of time. I
(24:52):
don't know how long they've been doing this.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
So more gambling and sports probes, massive investigation and unfolding
in the NBA. You've got staff members from multiple teams,
not just one team. But it does include the Lakers
now being asked to turn over their cell phones and
different property that they have, So I guess this would
(25:16):
be part of the actual investigation to see what's been
done on the phones and things like that. So you
had a bunch of staffers across the league that were
contacted after federal prosecutor prosecutors rather revealed new details in
the criminal case from last month involving alleged illegal betting
(25:38):
schemes tied to insider injury information things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So yeah, I find it weird. There's two issues here
that I'll understand. I Number one, the story about a
couple of ballplayers who make millions of dollars involved in
throwing games that I don't get. And if you're going
to do something like this, why would you put it
in text form? Because texts are retrievable, where if you're
(26:07):
just having a conversation over the phone, it is not people.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Are lazy, but you could track. You could track the
fact that they called somebody and the times of the
calls and things like that.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Okay, caught up in Charlotte's web. Federal Border Patrol agents
have detained eighty one people across Charlotte, North Carolina. It
happened on Saturday, the first day of an operation that's
already drying criticism over aggressive tactics. The Border Patrol agents
(26:40):
fanned out across immigrant neighborhoods on Saturday, and then get
did it again on Sunday, prompting a lot of businesses
that cater to immigrants to close down. A flea market
didn't open, Catholic churches were unusually empty on Sunday, and
nightclubs in the city that play reggaetone music on Saturday
nights decided not to open either.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And the majority of people that are being arrested are
not criminals, have not been charged, much less not been convicted.
So the worst of the worst, well, yeah, there are
some of the worst of the worst, but there are
a lot of people being swept up, and it is
it's heartbreaking for a lot of families, and I think
(27:22):
most Americans think that the government has gone too far
in terms of the tactics.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You wish they would have just worked it out with
law and local law enforcement to find out you know
who the bad ones are statistic communication, but.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
They can't do that because law enforcement isn't allowed to
work with ice.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
In my exact Yes, okay, that's true, so you do
with just the sweep of everybody. On the other hand,
if you're not going after the bad ones, you're not
arresting anybody. But it's a question of the tactics too.
It's a question of how aggressive you can arrest people
without pulling them out of cars. Although I don't know
how often that happens.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I've seen murderers treated way better.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, yeah, And I told you the story about a
dawn when Jeanette came in the way he was treated
by isis it's just unconscionable. Oh my god, Well, this
is all plug your ears bill. It's not true.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
We plug your ears, buddy. I'm sorry, it's in there.
Uh so. Suit claims Costco's Kirkland tequila's are not only
mixed with low grade booze. Some tests found that some
of the Kirkland brand tequilas were so adulterated they didn't
(28:41):
even qualify as tequila under Mexic law.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Isn't that totally surprising?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Aren't you.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It is surprising because how fanatic Costco is for uh
for quality.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Here, Kirkland brands are usually.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Very yes, are insane. So it looks like Smarten Final
is going to be my new choice.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Huh okay, so kind of crazy butt Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
That's nuts. I think we're done, by the way, we
are completely finished. All right. This is KFI Am six.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
