WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.480 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:05.080 six forty. 3 00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:14.359 KFI AM six forty, The Master of Timing. Yes, does 4 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.120 not stop. The pro is at work, Okay on a 5 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.239 Friday morning, December twentieth. 6 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.600 Next week is Christmas and Honika, and. 7 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.879 I'll be here on Monday. And I believe Cono. You're 8 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.119 here Monday, right, correct? 9 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.799 Correct? Amy, or you're off all next week, all next week, 10 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:35.399 all next week. 11 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:36.560 Michael Monks is sitting in. 12 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:36.880 Yeah. 13 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.759 And Michael's a good guy. 14 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:38.280 He's awesome. 15 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:38.520 Yeah. 16 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.679 I do like Michael a lot. And by the way, 17 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.640 when I say that, I don't blow smoke because I'm 18 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.920 pretty good about telling you when people suck. Okay, moving 19 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.960 on midnight tonight, government may shit shut down, and it 20 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.039 may very well happen. And the federal government is going 21 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.600 to happen. I'll tell you why. Because there was a 22 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.959 deal made between the Republicans and the Democrats to kick 23 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.480 the can down the road, and Donald Trump shut it down, 24 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.400 told House Speaker Mike Johnson. 25 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.439 Done, I don't want this deal. 26 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.159 Why because this is I'm on the side of Donald 27 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:21.159 Trump on this one. 28 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.799 How much money can you spend more than you bring in? 29 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.640 How much used to be. It was in the hundreds 30 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.760 of billions of dollars. 31 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:38.359 This budget two trillion dollar deficit. I mean, it has 32 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:43.640 gotten so crazy, so insane, that we are borrowing money 33 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.079 into oblivion. Because when the government runs out of money, 34 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.159 and let's say it brings in four trillion dollars or 35 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.120 eight trillion dollars or whatever the figure is, and it 36 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.439 goes into deficit, has to borrow the rest of the 37 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.599 money to run the government. It costs you one hundred 38 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.480 and twenty five thousand dollars to live, and those are 39 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.439 your expenses. I understand that's a lot of money, but 40 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.319 I'm making it easy for me in terms of financially. 41 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.039 If it costs you one hundred and twenty thousand dollars 42 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.680 and you only and you bring in one hundred thousand dollars, 43 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.840 where do you get the extra. 44 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.080 Twenty You borrow it. And that's what the government is doing. 45 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.560 And you've got Elon Musk, who is Trump's new best friend, 46 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.680 who now has more power than any non president we 47 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:32.680 have seen probably in decades and decades. He is shutting 48 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.879 down or arguing the government has to be shut down. 49 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.199 We cannot spend this kind of money why, because there's 50 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.400 still pork beyond pork. Beyond pork, what is pork? Pork 51 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.560 is a congressman saying I want this museum in my 52 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.120 district funded. There was, actually, and I'm not exaggerating on 53 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.280 this one, there was an Alaska It was a senator congressman. 54 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.759 I don't remember his name, but as part of the 55 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.199 budget he had immense power. He was a senior member 56 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.000 of Congress, and part of the budget one year was 57 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:11.360 the building of the Chub Salmon Museum. Not just the 58 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.599 salmon museum, mind you, the history of the chub salmon 59 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.400 in Alaska. 60 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.240 Now pork hell. 61 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.919 Yes, But as the saying goes, one man's pork is 62 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:32.120 another man's budget necessity. So now you have the plan 63 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.759 falling apart as bipartisan plan. Speaker Mike Johnson is scrambling 64 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.360 to try to figure out something that would work so 65 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.639 the government doesn't shut down. And by the way, when 66 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.000 the government shuts down, there's no money. And there are 67 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.479 certain things that by law have to stay in place. 68 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:55.840 Air traffic controllers, for example, absolutely have to work. Members 69 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.400 of the military absolutely are still there. 70 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.240 Do they get paid money, you know, they get paid IOUs, 71 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.159 They get paid warrants. 72 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.719 And now they're of course going to be paid. When 73 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.400 the government actually funds, they're going to be paid. So 74 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.680 there's no issue. It's not an IOU that's not going 75 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.479 to come to fruition. But still, but the National Park 76 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.839 shut down, for example, you can't go into National Park 77 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.879 because park rangers are they just shut down the park. 78 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.759 They shut down various agencies. Now the FBI keeps ongoing, 79 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.639 but other agencies don't. 80 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.879 Does the EPA keep on going? I don't even know. 81 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.120 But it's a political This is a political hot potato. 82 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.680 And they now the Demo. The Republicans did pass some 83 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.040 kind of a bill, you know, they put together something, 84 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.040 and the Democrats shut it down because there were too 85 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:49.759 many cuts. 86 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:51.879 Because that's the other thing. 87 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.759 Republicans don't like programs, entitlement programs, and they love defense. 88 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.639 Democrats love entitlement programs. 89 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.160 On the tombstone of every Democrat who's ever been elected 90 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.600 is the inscription I never met a tax I didn't like. 91 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.560 That's from Will Rogers, by the way, who never met 92 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:15.639 a man he didn't like. 93 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.920 So is it gonna happen? Yeah? 94 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.920 And this deal that Mike Johnson made is by partisan deal. 95 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:30.959 The same deal costs Kevin McCarthy his speakership and Mike Johnson. 96 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:35.560 The new Congress comes into being next year. I think 97 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.240 it's about the twentieth through the tenth or whatever, and 98 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:43.319 he's got to be re elected speaker, and it just 99 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.079 breaks along party ground. So I mean, this is a 100 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.120 cluster truck of the first water here. 101 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.439 And the reason, one of the. 102 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.839 Reasons must hast such enormous, enormous powers because he goes 103 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:04.279 online on x He posted one hundred, one hundred posts 104 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.519 over this in the last couple of days. So are 105 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.560 we going to wake up tomorrow morning with a partial 106 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:16.319 government shut down? Yeah? Probably probably, because everybody is now 107 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.600 their positions is set pretty much in stone. 108 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.199 There is not much pri barbisonship. I hope I'm wrong. 109 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.759 I hope they come up with some kind of a deal. 110 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:32.560 Okay, Elon Musk has become probably the most powerful American 111 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.240 after President Trump. And then the argument is, you may 112 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.879 he become even more powerful. And I want to point 113 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.399 something out, and that is the president. If there is 114 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.439 someone who has unbelievable influence on the president, it's the 115 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:56.120 president's call. It's the president who makes the decision to 116 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:01.160 let someone have enormous influence and so I hear the time. Oh, 117 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.480 the president has no power. It's really my dad used 118 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.199 to do that to me. The insurance companies control of 119 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.920 the president. That's why insurance rates are so high. Go 120 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.000 what are you talking about? Goes, Well, they control everything. 121 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.120 Let me ask them. Someone spends forty years running for 122 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.360 president and as soon as he or she is elected 123 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.399 hands the reins over to the insurance the CEOs that go, here, 124 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.680 you run the country. He goes, Yeah, that's exactly what happens. 125 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.959 My dad was a moron, by the way when it 126 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:35.279 came to this. So Elon Musk only has the power 127 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:36.600 that Trump gives him. 128 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.120 But man, what power he has. 129 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.839 Yesterday a blizzard of ex posts announcing that bipartisan spending 130 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.160 deal designed to keep the government open. 131 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.120 We talked about that time in the last segment. 132 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.879 He's calling the bill criminal and the threat okay, the 133 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.720 Trump threat. Any member of the House or Senate who 134 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.120 votes for this outrage spending bill deserves to be voted 135 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.360 out in two years. This is how Trump controls the 136 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.240 Republican Party because he has the power with the electorate 137 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.399 to primary any Republican out. Virtually any Republican and he 138 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.319 has done it. I don't care if you've been there 139 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.920 for thirty years. I'm going to endorse your opponent in 140 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:25.120 the primaries and you're done. And so you bet the 141 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.439 Republican legislator's cow taw to Donald Trump, ben the knee, 142 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.040 kiss the ring, as it said. 143 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.720 So here we go. 144 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.320 The bill tanks both because Musk spent a lot of 145 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.159 his time I don't know, one hundred posts, I mean 146 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.519 something insane, and also a parody Trump's position. And by 147 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.159 the way, I've said this before, I'm not a big 148 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.759 fan of Donald Trump. You know that, But I tell 149 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.279 you his point is absolutely well taken. How much money 150 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.320 can you spend beyond the money that comes in? Where 151 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.559 is the limit? The Democrats, there is no limit, none, none. 152 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.639 Whatever we have to borrow to keep the government going, 153 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.919 we will borrow, and it doesn't matter how much money 154 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.360 comes in. Now, for the first time, you have some 155 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.720 deficit hawks, and you've got Trump. You've got mux Musk, 156 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.360 who is now head of DOGE, the Department of Governmental Efficiency, 157 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.240 and he's saying, we can't spend this kind of money. 158 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.120 We have to run this place like a business. Yeah, 159 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.279 which makes sense. 160 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.600 Actually, okay, So House Speaker Mike Johnson. 161 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.519 Put together a bill to keep the government running. 162 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:43.159 And by the way, the Speaker, Mike Johnson is not 163 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:49.600 a particularly effective speaker. He squeaked in. He's a compromise speaker. 164 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.600 And I think one of the reasons that Nancy Pelosi 165 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:57.720 is so hated by the extreme right is she was 166 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.200 so effective as speaker her She ran the House with 167 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.960 an iron fist. You can compare her to Maggie Thatcher 168 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.559 in Great Britain during the Thatcher years. I mean she 169 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.279 gold on my ear during the time of the seventies 170 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.039 when she was Prime Minister of Israel. And so Mike 171 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:23.200 Johnson believes he could get enough Republicans to join most 172 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.440 Democrats in passing a bill to keep the government alive. 173 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.399 Now what does that mean keeping the government alive? Well, 174 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.879 you're not going to have a balanced budget. What Congress 175 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.320 does year after year is kick the can down the 176 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.799 road and say, we'll deal with the budget later. Let's 177 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.480 just go ahead and fund the government as it is 178 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:45.039 until in this. 179 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.039 Case it would be March of next year. 180 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:53.759 Well, Trump said nope, and Musk said nope, and so 181 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.919 the deal fell apart. So now what does Johnson do 182 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.360 he's got how many hours to go before this thing 183 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.039 just dives? And the government is partially shut down. And 184 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.240 as I said, certain parts of the government have to 185 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.000 have to keep on going by law. Now air traffic 186 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.639 controllers and military and federal police and I think the FBI, 187 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.440 but everything else shuts down, and even the government workers 188 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.399 that have to keep on working don't get paid. They 189 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:25.440 get IOUs, which of course will be honored. So now 190 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.519 the scramble takes place, and Mike Johnson is figuring. So 191 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:36.440 they came in with another bill, which the GOP is saying, okay, 192 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.240 well the Republicans are the Democrats say. 193 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:40.200 No, we're not going to do it. 194 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.799 Nope, we're done, And of course retribution and arguments going 195 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.799 back and forth and accusations. Haking Jeffreys, head of the Democrats, 196 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.320 screaming the Republicans or trying to destroy this country. They 197 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.759 don't even want to go forward with this funding bill, 198 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.159 to stop gap funding bill to keep the government alive 199 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.600 until March. The Republicans are saying, the Democrats are destroying 200 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.840 this country because they want to spend so much money. 201 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.919 We keep on borrowing so much money that we can't 202 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.919 possibly afford any of it, and so it's up in 203 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.559 the air. And by the way, thirty six Republicans joined 204 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.840 the Democrats in saying this bill is no good. So 205 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.159 for the Republicans, the programs that are in place that 206 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.200 are to keep on funding, the entitlement programs, the social programs, No, 207 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.159 they're just too expensive. Ain't gonna happen. For the Democrats, 208 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.879 we can't cut like this. We can't cut housing and 209 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:43.440 subsidies for schools, and subsidies for school lunches and all 210 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.519 of these entitlement programs. If you come up with a 211 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.120 list of governmental programs or programs that are funded by 212 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.480 the government, you know, NGOs, non governmental agencies or organizations, 213 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.240 and the amount of money that's spent, I mean you, 214 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.879 it is completely nuts. I don't know if social Security 215 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.279 checks keep on going. They do, okay, so by law, 216 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.919 social Security keeps ongoing. 217 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.960 Uh. And what else? 218 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.080 I have to get a list of what major organizations, 219 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.559 what major parts of the government. Just don't Medicare, Medicare 220 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.639 they stop paying. Medicare continues on, Medicare continues. I know 221 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.919 air traffic controllers certainly continues. Amy has a better grip 222 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:28.000 on this than I do. Unfortunately, and so I'm defaulting 223 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.200 to amy and you may want to calendar this because 224 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.639 I rarely do this, and I'll be not doing. 225 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:33.120 This much more. 226 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.720 No, I military keeps running Medicare. 227 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.240 Yeah, but military doesn't get paid. They don't get paid checks. 228 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.159 They get the warrants. So there's a lot of by 229 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.240 law that's uh the check and they're going to be 230 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.279 made up. But as I said earlier, even those governmental 231 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:57.080 agencies that don't get checks and only get the IOUs 232 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.559 these warrants as they're called, you can't go to the 233 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.919 grosser restore, put some food on that counter and say 234 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:02.840 I've got a warrant here. 235 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.879 They actually want money. 236 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:05.679 Congress still gets paid, of course. 237 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.759 Congress gets paid. 238 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:08.320 The president gets paid. 239 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.919 No kidding, The president gets paid real quickly. Okay, don't 240 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.679 even look how much does the president make? 241 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.200 Do doo doo? 242 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.279 Hundred thousand dollars you gotta raise? Oh yeah, he got 243 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:18.759 to raise. 244 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.879 The first president that got four hundred thousand dollars was 245 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.480 George W. 246 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.840 Hey is Trump not taking his salary again? 247 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.000 I don't think he is. 248 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.799 You know the last person that didn't take a salary 249 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.080 Trump well before Trump? 250 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:32.600 Oh? 251 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.559 John F. Kennedy really yep, dollary year. Yeah. 252 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.039 Yeah, because he had so much money. I mean, just 253 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:42.039 ridiculous amounts of money. You know, his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, 254 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.799 I mean just left a fortune to his children. Okay, 255 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.000 Luigi MANGIONI, we knew he was going to waive extradition 256 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.480 and coming to New York, which he did yesterday, and 257 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.759 he was flown from Pennsylvania to New York after waving extradition, 258 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.320 and he was to make his first court appearing in 259 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:05.679 a Manhattan courthouse in state court. We knew he was 260 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.159 going to be hit with federal charges at the same time, 261 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.799 and he was charged with murder through the use of 262 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.879 a firearm to stocking charges firearms offense. I mean, he's 263 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.559 up for the death penalty and I can't imagine he 264 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.240 is not going to get it. So the federal complaint 265 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.919 leads to his appearance in federal court in downtown Manhattan 266 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.879 instead of the state courthouse. But wait a minute, he 267 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.440 was supposed to go to the state. He waived extradition 268 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.559 to come to the state of New York for a 269 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:40.080 state hearing, but to the surprise of all, the Feds 270 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:46.360 came in and the Feds prevail and they said, nope, 271 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:51.120 it's going to be federal first, then state. So he 272 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:55.039 leaves prison and comes to He goes to the court 273 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.519 in Pennsylvania, two back to back hearings. On the one 274 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.360 he didn't extradition, the other it was decided he will 275 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.799 not face firearm and forgery charges brought against him in 276 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:13.120 Pennsylvania until the charges in New York are heard. Now 277 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.360 here's the fun part, to show you what a hero 278 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.360 he has become. 279 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.000 You know, in prison you set up accounts. 280 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.200 You can set up account to buy Fredo's and to 281 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.480 buy soap, and you know all that kind of crap 282 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.360 that they don't give you. 283 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:27.080 Ramin. 284 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.919 He got one hundred and fifty eight deposits into his account. 285 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.840 He's got more money in the account than you have 286 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.159 in the bank. There's a lot of FreeDOS. You can 287 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:43.399 buy fifty letters so far. Can't wait till those are released. 288 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:48.960 How many women are proposing marriage? People wanted to see him, 289 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.679 know only as attorneys. And after the hearings, he's handed 290 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.360 over to the NYPD. Then's flown on a plane to 291 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.440 New York, then is up by helicopter. Not bad, I mean, 292 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.919 if let me tell you, if you want to visit 293 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.599 New York. Let me tell you how to go follow 294 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.440 his lead, fly in a private plane to New York 295 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:18.119 and then get helicoptered into the city. Not bad, not bad, 296 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.839 and then we'll talk about the details later on. 297 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.480 Because I mean, they have him. 298 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:31.359 They overwhelming evidence, DNA evidence, fingerprint evidence, entries into his 299 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.039 diary in which he talks about going after United Healthcare, 300 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.200 talks about going after the CEO, on and on. So 301 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.279 Mangoni meets with his attorneys at the federal courthouse where. 302 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.799 This took place. 303 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.960 Because why because Feds say, you know what we wanted 304 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.160 and took everybody by surprise. By the way, his attorney 305 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.039 had no idea that was happening. The state had no 306 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.359 idea it was happening. I mean, the state's already set up. 307 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.119 They have barricades outside the courtroom, the court house on 308 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:04.160 the thirteenth floor. The cameras are being set up because 309 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.200 it was going to be a televised hearing. Security is 310 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.559 being established. All that shutdown because the Fed came in 311 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.799 and said we're going to do it first. So during 312 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.559 his court hearing, I love this one. This is fantastic. 313 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:24.359 His attorney said, we will not seek bail right now. Really, 314 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.480 you're not going to seek bail because you certainly are 315 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.559 going to be granted bail if you ask for it, 316 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.519 but they reserve the right to do it later, which 317 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.400 of course they will. The other fun fact, if you 318 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.759 want to talk about any kind of fun facts around this, 319 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.440 is Mangione is going to be held in the Metropolitan 320 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.400 Detention Center in Brooklyn, which is the only federal prison 321 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.599 in New York City. You know, it was also in 322 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:55.279 that prison Sean Diddy Combs, and that courtroom on the 323 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.599 thirteenth floor where he was to have the hearing in 324 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:05.400 state charges is exactly the same courthouse that President elect 325 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.559 Donald J. Trump was brought in when the hearings took 326 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:13.160 place over his issues. All right, so you think we're 327 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.759 going to follow that one? Yeah, I think too. Okay, Hey, 328 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:22.160 there's something going on that makes almost no sense, and 329 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:28.160 that is America is getting healthier. But that's impossible because 330 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:33.839 we're getting fatter America is I mean, we're getting fatter 331 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.480 by the I mean the second. We are the most 332 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.680 obese people on the planet. We have the most junk food, 333 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:46.559 we eat the worst food, We probably exercise the least 334 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.279 of anybody out there. I mean, you go to third 335 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:54.599 world countries and you know those people exercise. For example, 336 00:19:54.599 --> 00:20:00.720 they're chasing after deer or impalas in Africa just for dinner. 337 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.200 So there's a lot of exercise there. 338 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.079 Not sure that's how it works, but I get the 339 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.559 what you're trying to illustrate. 340 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:12.000 We have more fatalities from gun violence, from drug overdoses, 341 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.200 from auto accidents than almost any place in the world. 342 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.960 Our obesity rate is fifty percent higher than the European average. 343 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.000 Matter of fact, the US is considered a quote rich 344 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.839 death trap by many people. 345 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.680 I gained the weight. I gained all the weight so 346 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.000 that if I get hit by a car, I have 347 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:33.680 some panic. 348 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.759 Good. That's good. 349 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.319 I put on Wai to remember when I was a 350 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.480 little kid, my parents were saying, I would say, and 351 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.960 this is when Asia was not doing well financially. It 352 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.160 used to be after World War two, eat all your food. 353 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.119 The kids are starving in Europe. Well, of course that 354 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.400 went away. So when I was a kid, the kids 355 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.319 are starving in Asia, so please eat all your food. 356 00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.319 Well guess what, I cleaned my plate, I got fat, 357 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.480 and the kids still starved. 358 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.839 So none of that makes sense. But the death rate 359 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.400 in the US is actually going down. 360 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.680 The reason we have such a miserable mortality rate, by 361 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.759 the way, unusually short life spans, more so than almost 362 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:21.000 every other country in the world, certainly the industrialized world, 363 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.960 because of the drug overdoses, because of the crashes, the 364 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:28.240 car crashes, because of the gun violence, which doesn't exist 365 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.200 in the other parts of the world for the most part. 366 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:31.720 Well, here's what's going on. 367 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.920 The government announced the adult obese rate has declined this 368 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.759 last year. Man, are we have we decided we're getting healthier. No, 369 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.920 it's the fat drugs. It's all the what do they 370 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:55.119 call the GP one drugs with go V and l zebic. Yeah, 371 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.119 thanks Anne, Yeah, the GLP one drugs. 372 00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.480 Yeah. 373 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.160 One in a Americans have actually taken the GOLP one drug, 374 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.079 and one in sixteen right now are taking the drug. 375 00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:11.799 I've got Manjaro in my arm as we speak. 376 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.720 Yeah, and I am taking because I'm trying to lose 377 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.079 fifteen pounds and I'm having a hard time. 378 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.119 Why what is on this plate a bagel? 379 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:21.839 Have you thought of cutting off your head? 380 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.279 Yeah? That makes sense. 381 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:30.000 In any case, it's just weird. Now here's what the 382 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.559 experts are saying. When you look at these figures, it's 383 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.920 all crap. It's all artificial. We're still dying from over 384 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.039 dose overdoses, not as much because you just can't get 385 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.400 the drug anymore. When you could get fentanyl, when you 386 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.799 could get opiates, I mean, doctors were prescribing opiates and 387 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.559 you could buy them like skittles. You could go to 388 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.559 the market and just pick up bags of this stuff. Well, 389 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.599 those days are gone to the point where you can't 390 00:22:55.640 --> 00:23:01.160 even get opiates. And and when I was in surgery on 391 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:05.200 my back surgery, they gave me three days of opiates. 392 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.160 I go, what are you guys doing? I hurt, like hell, 393 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.400 you just you just can't. 394 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:16.960 So I remember getting percoset for mouth, you know, maxio 395 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.680 facial surgery, and I never used them did I have 396 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.920 no idea what they do. I never use them. But 397 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:26.799 there are good painkillers, is what they are. I don't 398 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:31.680 even like vicodin. I was off in my kidney surgery. 399 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.039 I was off the pain meds. I think within the 400 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.599 first day. 401 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:42.240
