• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I believe so I think that's right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, So anyway, Neil, good morning, hey, and just came
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: up with a topic, uh, and describe it real quickly.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We're probably going to do it in a couple of days.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a there's a new AI feature that's called
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: cleuly and basically, in real time, it will help you
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: with a conversation.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So if you're on a zoom and you have it
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: up in real time, it'll tell.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: You how to.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Continue the conversation.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: The questions to ask answers to questions you're being asked,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: and it basically prompts you to say different things to
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: make yourself sound more interesting, so you don't have to
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: use your brain.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Real right, So here's the question I'm going to ask.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We're putting this together right now, and the question that's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: going to be asked is real simple. I mean, we're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a third person here is Bill Handle.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: That's me. Is Bill Handle really and truly a dick?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And going through everything that I have said, going through
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: sharing thoughts over the years, the answer is I'm going
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to ask as a percentage of people who actually think
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: as big an a hole as people think I am
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so real Quickly, survey says Neil, percentage do you I guess?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Well, said Cono. Yeah, Neil took my answer.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, Amy, I think it's much lower than that. Thank
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you so much. Shevn Okay, much lower? Will oh lower?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Ninety eight percent? Excellent? And finally, Anne, God, you guys
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: are mean. I gave it eighty percent. Well, thank you
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: for that. It's that's Appreciateay.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So what I'm just curious to I mean literally, because
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I have played both sides of that coin. Anybody who's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been listening to me over the years knows that there
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: are slivers, little tiny cracks where wait a.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Minute, maybe he isn't that big of a dick.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Most people miss that, But Neil Cono stopped shaking your head. Okay,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that. So anyway, and then
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I will ask the same question I think of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: rest of you will and Ann and just all of you,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: because I think there is some dickiosity amongst all of us.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Oh really is a new word.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Uh think think think Will and Amy have an edge
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: to them.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Do you a little bit of an edge? I think so?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you really search if the internet, if AI
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is that good? And Amy, you've been here for literally
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: how long I know, station at the station, at the station,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: so we know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Who you are.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I have twelve thirteen years.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then prior to that, because remember the AI
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: can search your entire entire broadcast history.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Well then I was hosting morning shows and other markets.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, but that is certainly the computer. You know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the artificial intelligence can search through that. Plus I don't know.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And can it look at texts.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Your private texts? I don't think you can. And although
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: they can start, although I bet you can.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'll bet he can because when there's a problem, I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: mean yeah, when the the FBI, they can go through
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and they subpoena texts and they'll go through years of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: text to find out did you make a terrorist threats?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And so anyway, there's a few texts that I have
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gone where the response is, uh, what are you wearing?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Sailor and Okay, you guys ready to do it?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yes it is yes, you were absolutely porn ready. Okay,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: let's do it, guys. Uh, it is time for Handle
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: on the News with Amy Neil and Me on this
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Tuesday morning lead story.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Jeff Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffery, Jeffrey.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, oh, this is so much fun.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Now the Republican controlled House of Representative is expected to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: vote today on that measure that would force the Justice
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Department to release the records. Jeffrey Epstein. Interesting set of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: circumstances here. Originally the President has been fighting this like crazy,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and of course all the Republicans fell right in line
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: with that, except there were a few and it was
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: mounting saying, you know what, this is not there's a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: line that was crossed here. We will follow Donald Trump
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to our death. But when it comes to covering up pedophiles,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: or potentially covering up pedophiles, that line will not be crossed.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And the President realized that. And so now Mike Johnson,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: who insisted on never bringing that, would never have the vote,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: would never go against the president. Now he is in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: favor of releasing the file and the whole issue of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: having said no, for months has disappeared.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It's as if it never happened.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Well, he kind of never didn't when he was running,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: wasn't he like, we are going to release day one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, because of the Democrats had it and the one
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: thing the Republicans have. And it's a good question, why
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: if there are anti Trump and anti Republican references to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the Epstein trial, why didn't the just why didn't the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Biden Justice.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Department release those?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Because probably just as many Democrats are being named as
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Republicans say, is why.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Guess this may close down Washington.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: No, it's not going to close down. Everybody's like a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: house of cards.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: No. And then and the President realized he was probably
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: going to lose this vote, so he turned around and said, oh,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: if now telling Republicans vote, vote on it. I want
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you to vote to release it, and then the Senate
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and he says, and then he hasn't even committed to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: signing it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He says, I think I will.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Do you know that he can make one phone call
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and the files are released within ten minutes. And if
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he's in favor of less files, what then why vote
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly? I vote because he wants to not make
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the decision himself to release those files and put Republicans in.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: A bad light, and so the blame can be spread.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Well, the Congress wanted it, the Senate wanted it, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just agreeing with them, as opposed to calling them
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: up and saying you will not vote in favor of this,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you think, which was the case
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: until he reversed himself.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: How do we know nothing's been redacted?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: That's the other issue.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it will be and here's what, and here is what,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and here's what's going to happen is the vote for
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the file files will be made, the President will sign. However,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Pam BONDI will open up an investigation of Democrats who
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: are listed on there and will then say we can't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: release all the files because there's an active investigation going on.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: There is it now, but there will.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Be an active investigation going on as soon as the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: vote takes place and the files are determined to be released.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That's what it is. A cluster truck, this whole thing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, and no Republican is going
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to be able to run having voted no on releasing
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: those Epstein files because the accusation that's going to be
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: both in the primary against another Republican and in the generals.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Why did you vote to protect a pedophile?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about Trump necessarily, but why did you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: vote to protect pedophiles that Jeffrey Epstein names?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: How do you answer that you can't? Therefore, the files
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: will be released? I mean it is. The politics of
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: this are just insane.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And you won't see President Trump, who wants the files released,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to make the phone call to release the files.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do one more and we'll take our break.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I like to an order of F thirty five's with
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the side of fries, please. President Trump says the US
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: will sell advanced F thirty five fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: So there are concerns with this because some are saying
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: that it could erode Israel's military advantage in the Middle
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: East and then reduce the amount of leverage that Washington
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: has to encourage Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize their relationship.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this gets interesting because the F thirty five is
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the most advanced fighter jet that exists on the planet.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It is a top top secret. The US keeps it
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: very close to the vest Israel has them. I don't
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: know what other countries do have them. There may be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: other countries, allied countries that have them.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Amy do you know.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I was listening to us information about this when I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: got worried about it, and I think it's only Israel,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: at least in the Middle.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: East, and that makes sense.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And to give it to Saudi Arabia is Israel's going nuts,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of course, because Israel has the advantage militarily across the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: entire Middle East. Now the other side is Saudi Arabia
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: was about to normalize relationships with Israel. Israel is a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: lot closer to Saudi Arabia in terms of politics and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in terms of just surviving in the Middle East. The
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: real enemy is Aron. And so you're gonna see Saudi
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Arabian Israel. I believe normalized relationships much like Jordan has,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: like the Emirates have, like Egypt has.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And I think you're going to see other countries too.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, we've sold them to like everybody, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Netherlands, Norway,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Full Singapore.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: All allies, all allies, strong allies, and Saudi Arabia, not
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: necessarily an ally because it aligns itself with the Palestinian
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: cause for example, big time, well, at least lip service wise.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: All right, David Richardson, if you remember he is, was
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency aka
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: FEMA for a short amount of time. He resigned yesterday,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: So about six months or so, was the acting head
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: of the disaster response agency for the US. But apparently
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: he's not easy to get a hold of. And that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: a huge complaint. I mean, you think disasters.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: During hurricanes and natural disaster.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Back in July when there were massive issues, I guess
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: he was hard to find and staffers and others that
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: were interviewed are like, hey, you know, we couldn't get
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: a hold of him, and he wasn't He didn't come
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: to meetings apparently in all this, so a lot of
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: controversies surrounding him. And apparently he resigned yesterday, so the controversy.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what a piece of work he was.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And when he did show up, he'd be in a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: cowboy hat and cowboy boots. I mean, just come on, guy, really,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: so another head of FEMA disappears.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: What's your homeworth? Not as much as it was. Home
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: values are falling in more than half of the US.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: As of October, fifty three percent of homes in the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: country had lost value in the past year. That's according
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: to Zillo. Home prices are falling in much of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Southeast and also parts of the West. They are still
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: rising in some cities in the Midwest and the Northeast.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Why a lot of would be home buyers have remained
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines because of economic uncertainty and mortgage rates
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: sticking around six percent.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: How are we doing in southern California?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I think we're probably flat because I haven't seen home
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: prices go up the way they did last year.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Do we have any idea I have noted.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we did a story like two weeks ago, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: remember the percentage. I mean, they've dropped just a tough bit,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: but not a lot.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: All right, fair enough. I'm just curious.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: But I did notice that there's somebody on my street
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: who's had their house for sale and it's been for
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: sale for a really long time. They would go up
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: and they'd be gone immediately, not anymore.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And my neighbor through two doors down has had her
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: their sale home for sale for almost the entire time
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that I've been living here, and at a reasonable price,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not asking crazy money, couldn't sell it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Decided not to sell.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: The house once you moved in, buddy.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly in the house, and then the house across
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the street, and then down the street. There were like
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: four or five homes that were for sale in my neighborhood,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: all at reasonable prices.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: They all went. So I don't know why the house
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: didn't go down the street.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: All right, The Justice Department is, you know, going after COMBI,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: as we know. And now you've got a judge stepping
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: in and saying, you know what there is, in their words,
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: not mine, disturbing pattern of profound and investigative missteps, very
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: specific and very stern. So this federal judge ruled monday
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: in directing prosecutors to provide defense lawyers with all grand
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: jury material from the case. Which is that very unusual
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: because yeah, I was gonna say, but it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Looks like that the grand jury indictment and the evidence
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: presented was so so sketchy that the lead prosecutor who
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was there, the US attorney that was there, dropped out.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: He said, I'm not going to do it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: There's no evidence and so he was fired, and then
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: another one was put in who had never had proscatorial experience,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that was assigned to be the US attorney for that district,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and she's going forward on it. Now. I want to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: point something out, and that is Kobe and ly Titia
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: James and of course John Bolton have all been indicted
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and are all going to be put up for trial
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: because of the horrors that they had done. For example,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Letitia James is call me having lied to Congress. One
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: witness says he lied. He says no, But let's believe
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the one guy who said he did. Okay, fair enough.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman, who is head of ICE, it is reported
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that the FBI has video of him accepting a fifty
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars cash bribe.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Video.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Christin Nolams said, we've investigated it and there's not enough
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: evidence to go forward with Tom Holman. Life is wonderful,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Craziness is going on, Insanity is going on,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and of course the insanity of the politics that are happening.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, if you don't want to be fat anymore,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you can get your weight loss drugs for cheaper. The
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: maker of wigov and ozempk have cut prices for most
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of these medifications three forty nine a month, down from
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: four ninety nine a month. That's accuding to Novo Nordisk,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: so Wigovy and Ozempic drop in their prices for new customers.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Novo Nordisk is going to sell the point twenty five
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: milligram and they point five milligram versions of Wigovy and
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: ozempk four one hundred and ninety nine dollars a month
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: for the first two months. Apparently they're doing this in
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: response to Trump administration pressure and also Eli Lilly potentially
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: slashing prices for the weightless truns.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is Trump. You have to give him
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: credit for this.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: He's done more than any other president to really president,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to really put pressure on big pharma in a big way.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And so good news, good news.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: A lot of fat people in this country, I mean
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of fat people.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I'm going to get rid of the fatty.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to make too many accusations here, Neil, Well.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Bill, I'm very excited, and I'm going to have a snack. Yeah,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: all right, Walgreens. You know, you got to figure sometimes
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: you go forward and sometimes you go backwards and I'm
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: telling you companies are going to start going backwards. Walgreens,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: who's had some issues back in twenty twenty four, they
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: plan to close about twelve hundred underperforming stores. Well now
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: they're no longer going to give most of their workers
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: paid vacation time for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: six of them to be exact. And this is just
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: after being bought by a private equity company for.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yah and they want to cut expenses. How many companies
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: do not give Thanksgiving or Christmas Day off as a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: paid vacation.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: It's probably very rare, but I'm thank you major Major's rare.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our company, we don't get a paid Thanksgiving or
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: we do, of course we do. Amy just not you,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: just you. Yeah, maybe you ought to look into that,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah you do.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: No what I mean, No, I think that that might
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: be changing with the new contract or something.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: But oh no, the union.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is under union. I think under the union contract.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I think they have to.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: The new one, the new one that goes into effect
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: next year.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: But I've been here for like twelve years.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even think we have a contract.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: KFI has a contract with the union.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we do. We got a new one this year.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Oh they signed it this year.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: There was no contract for ten years, twelve years.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Well, we had a contract. It was just the old
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: contract that expired.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: We were just lapse, but it lapsed for a decade,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: so we.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Were going off the terms of those kinds.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Well, anyway, I know that's not that exciting to you.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't know that. That's wow.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: You know. I tend not to bad mouth I heart,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: but that one is a tough one.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Not Giving, Thanksgiving and Christmas, we do.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Shut down the radio station.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: No, but you get people that are willing. No, you
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: get people that are willing to work, and you pay
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: them big money vacation pay no, nope. Okay, Well congratulations Neil.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: You're here Thanksgiving in the day after and you too,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and no extra money right correct?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, I don't think so. Well, I don't know.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Time and a half.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if that's true, if you're on contract, all right,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: let's just move on.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: The UN backs President Trump's peace plan. The UN Security
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Council endorse proposals put forward by President Trump that twenty
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: point plan for a lasting piece in Gaza. It includes
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: the deployment of an international stabilization force and a possible
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: plan to a Palestinian state. The vote was thirteen to nothing,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: with abstentions by China and Russia. Hamas came out and said, well,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: we don't support it, and Israel said Palestinian state, what
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: are you talking about?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now under Nettayahoo, that'll never happen. In the end,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you have to give Trump credit for this. It was
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: his prop pressure that puts this together. I don't think
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: it would have happened without him.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Well, and here's I was talking to Jordana Miller too
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: about this, because it's going to take a long time.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: There's lots of conditions and stuff if they do this,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: and she said, even if Netanyahu's against a Palestinian state,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: he's probably not going to be in power by the
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: time that's correct, that's all plays out.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, And so they're putting of course, they're
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: calling it the Trump Peace Plan, naturally, and it's no
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: longer the Islamic world, it's the Trumpslamic world.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Bringing back an oldie, but a goodie. You got health
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: officials this week, uh looking around and seeing that measles
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: outbreak that began in Texas and another in Utah and Arizona.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Finding that this could America end our status here in
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: the United States as a nation that has eliminated measles.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Those a pet train of transmission since January, going bump, bump, bump, Texas, Oklahoma,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: now New Mexico. So we're going backwards.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, those pesky vaccines you got in the way
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: of the disease being spread. Now it's the Mennonites. This
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is not the Robert F. Kennedy craziness. The Mennonites have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: never allowed vaccinations. But the problem is herd immunity is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: basically gone because so many people do not get vaccines.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Kids do not get vaccines anymore. The spread goes when
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: there's when there's herd immunity, it's just going to stop
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a few few people getting vaccines. It doesn't spread more
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and more people not getting vaccines. Well, this is what
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you're looking at.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: More flights to Mexico. Apparently. Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum says
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: that Mexican Airlines has agreed to hand over some flight
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: slots to the nation's busy capital airport to US characters.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: This is our carriers, This is happening during an ongoing
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: spat between the US and Mexico over flight distribution. She
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: didn't say how many slots were being given up, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: they will be. It comes as the US Department of
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Transportation is cracked down on Mexican airline operations in the
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: US in recent months.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Other than involuntary flights to Mexico that the US government
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: provides for certain people that are picked up.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Who wants to go to Mexico.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: It's a great place to vacation.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: It's a great place to die. Oh yeah, Okay, Moving
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: on Tokyo.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Speaking of dying, they don't want karoshi, which to death
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: from overwork. Tokyo officials are looking over all the details
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: of this stuff as people are fighting for a four
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: day work week, not just oh we want some time
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: to relax, but apparently to erase the nation's notoriously punishing
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: work culture, and that they're trying to find ways to
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: balance everything out because you've got you know, birth rates down,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: all these different things that are emanating from having you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: burnout and all these things that are caused by overworking.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: There four day work week is looking like the answer.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Look at the cultural difference between Tokyo or Japan, where
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: they work like animals, they work so hard. And then
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you have France where you wake up, you go to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: work at ten o'clock, you have lunch from twelve to two,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and then you leave at four o'clock. And let's not
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: forget a month. They cation by law that you start
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: at ah those French, but they have to do their art.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I know they doo.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, California is not the only ones suing, you know
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: the California has filed dozens of lawsuits against Trump administration. Well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: now this time the Trump administration is filing a lawsuit
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: against California and it's new law that bans federal agents
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: from wearing masks. It also and also requiring them to
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: have ID while they do ice operations. The government has
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: argued that the laws threaten the safety of officers who
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: are facing what they call unprecedented harassment, dosing, and violence
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: during these ice immigration reads. The laws are called the
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: No Secret Police and No Vigilante Laws. California is the
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: first in the country to do it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both sides have a point because life is so
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: polarized that you go after either side and the threats
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: just happen.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: So if you have the what is the people that
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: have dealt.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: With the police if they could, if they can, many
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of them publish the addresses of the policeman's homes after
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: recognizing them with facial recognition software.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: You can do whatever.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And at the same time, don't you want to know
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: if you want to go after someone who is acting
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: acting out when arresting someone acting inappropriately?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: So I don't know where the answer is on that one.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: The good news is that American Social Security cost of
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: living increase is going to pop up next year. The
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: bad news is for older Americans it's going to be
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: consumed by Medicare costs.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it gets pretty expensive this medical care.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: In the States. So there you go. Okay, not much
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: more to say.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: How about prices? Its post officer going up, But the
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: good news is they don't to go up until after
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: the holidays. The Postal Service says that shipping prices are
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: going to go up starting in February, I believe. But
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: the mail, the stamp prices for just the basic stamp,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: those are staying the same.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Well, when you look.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: At this is shipping, when you look at ups, when
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you look at FedEx, both are fabulously profitable organizations. The
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Postal Service, which also ships and does letters, is losing money.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And that's because the Postal Service delivers to every single
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: address in the United States.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: They even have mules that deliver.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Down into the Grand Canyon, and there are places that
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: are only available to get to by snowmobiles and airplanes.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Barges so well, people complain about them, but I got
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: to tell you, the United States Postal Service is still
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: one of the best deals on the planet. When you
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: it is what it is, get for your money.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely and it's it doesn't get any tax dollars. It
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: makes it all with stamps and services. And although they
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: should charge more for the junk mail, although how do
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you determine what junk mail is? I have no idea
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: who makes that decision. But ninety percent of the mail
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: that I get is crap, pure crap in the sense
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that they're all coupons and real well real estate people.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, how long has it been. It's been what
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a year and a half since I bought my house.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I'm still getting stuff from real estate agents. Hey, if
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: you're thinking of selling your house here I am. I
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: get half a dozen of those a week. Okay, we
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: are done. Coming up the OJ Simpson case is still alive,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and what an agreement the estate has made with the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Goldman family and it means absolutely nothing, and I'll share
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: with you when.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: We come back. Let's check in with or we'll.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Talk to Amy a few minutes after I lock out,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: which I should have just said.
• 30:10

• 30:16
  Speaker 2: to the Bill Handle Show.
