The Jeff and Bill Show - September 17, 2026 HR 1: Bill Thorpe takes on a provocative question: Is Donald Trump holding America hostage? The discussion looks at Trump’s comments involving FEMA disaster relief, interest rates and the Federal Reserve, the Kennedy Center, and the government’s stake in Intel. Bill also opens the time capsule and revisits predictions about Trump’s presidency while listeners call and text with their own predictions for the second half of his term.
Plus, callers weigh in on the Fed, inflation, the SAVE Act, election integrity and what could happen after the midterms. And when the political talk takes a break, Bill and the crew have some fun with a wild proposal for how to settle runoff elections—and a bizarre story about turning old wind-turbine blades into gummy bears.
