  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I am six forty Bill Handle. Here.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: It is a Thursday morning, October sixteenth, storry I want
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: to share with you. And this is another story of
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: this president doing things that other presidents not only have
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: never done, never dreamed of doing. And this is a
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: story about the President saying that if Boston wasn't prepared
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: enough for crime, it wasn't being made any safer than
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he would seek to move the twenty twenty six World
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Cups World Cup out of Boston. But where's it gonna go?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: No idea, but we wanted out of Boston. He also
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: said the same thing about la and the Olympics. This
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: is and this is not a statement that he made
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: pursuant to a press conference or a policy statement. These
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: are reporters that throw stuff at him and he reacts
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: because that's what he does. So, mister President, do you
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: plan on assassinating you know, Macrone of France?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I haven't thought about it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And then that becomes world that becomes front page news.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And it's almost as this as these as if.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: These reporters are goating the president into responding, and usually
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: things that aren't even at issue there and so, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the President does respond. And as I said during the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: news segment, the president has such unbelievable influence that when
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the President of the United States sneezes, the world catches
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a cold. And so his lines are just they're ridiculous.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So he doesn't have any jurisdiction. Does he really have
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the authority to tell Boston you or tell FIFA move
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the World Cup out of Boston eight months before the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: World Cup is scheduled to start.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: How do you do that?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Or how about the Olympics move the twenty twenty eight
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Olympics out of Los Angeles? Because Los Angeles has a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Democratic mayor in California is newsome, and Boston is a liberal.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Chicago has a mayor who is Democrat. And the President
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: has made absolutely no bones about it. He thinks that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: all democratic cities, who well mayors of democratic cities, those
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: cities are in ruins.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Those cities are overrun with criminals.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: There's no republican city in the United States, by the way,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that has that problem. I want to point that out.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: There is not a republican city. When I mean republican
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: city that's run by a Republican mayor or a city
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: council and a mayor. So this became a really big deal.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: So there's a couple of bits of politics I want
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to throw in here too. The head of FIFA is
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: actually a friend of Trump's, if not a friend, certainly
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: an ally of Trump's. Matter of fact, Trump invited him
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to be at the signing in Gaza or in Egypt
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: for the peace conference. And what the hell does the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: head of FIFA I have to do with anything? And
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: so as he said, I love the people of Boston.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I know the games are sold out, but your mayor
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: is not good. And this is during the lunch with
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the Argentinian president, and I think she, the mayor, is
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: hurting Boston. The answer is yes, if somebody is doing
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: a bad job, and if I feel there's unsafe conditions,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I would call Giannini, the head of FIFA, who's phenomenal,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and I would say let's move it to another location. Now,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: of course that's not physically possible, but again it is
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: simply a statement. So a word about the Argentinian president,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: another ally of President Trump's, who is truly ally the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: president could do no wrong. He can do no wrong
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: as far as the president is concerned. And Argentina just
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: got a twenty billion dollar bailout from the government. Okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you the intricacies of that, but I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: can tell you what's going on in Brazil. Brazil, the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: president of Brazil is no friend of Donald Trump's. Okay,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Lula and he loved bol Scenario, who was tried and
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: convicted of or who has been convicted of corruption. Now
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the president currently Lula, Lula de Silva was convicted of
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: corruption and spent four years in prison or two years
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in prison, and that was overturned. So it's one corrupt
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: after another, corruption replaced by another corrupt individual. But here's
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the point I want to make. It is as President
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Trump argues in terms of tariffs, and he's absolutely right
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: in the vast majority of cases, and that is it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: about balance of trade.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's about just fairness.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: So when we have a negative balance of trade, for example,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: when China sells US five hundred billion dollars worth of
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: goods and we or we buy five hundred billion dollars
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: worth of goods but we only sell them two hundred billion,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: there's a balance of there's an imbalance of trade. You're
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: always better off selling more than buying. That makes so
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: much stronger economy. And when it's unfair, it's unfair. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: with China, it's unfair. With the European market, it's unfair.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: We simply buy more than we sell. And what Donald
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Trump is doing saying, Okay, we're gonna make it fair.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make it an even playing field, all right, tariffs,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: That's what tariffs are all about, is to make it
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: as even playing field field as possible.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something about Brazil.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Brazil not only does not have a negative trade balance
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: with US, we.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Do better than Brazil does. Brazil is one of.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: The very few countries that actually buy more from US
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: than we buy from them. We have a positive balance
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: of trade with Brazil. Why they still have a fifty
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: percent tariff? Why do you think because he does not
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: like the president and the guy who was thrown out polscenario,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: who lost the election a rigged election, I might add,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: that's the language that was used. It was a rigged
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: election in Brazil. Interesting, isn't it. And so that's what's
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: going on in that world. So now does the president
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: have the right to throw on a fifty percent tariff
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of course he does, and in many cases is for
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: great reasons, and in this case with Brazil is ridiculously
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and simply because he likes bols narrow.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That's it, you know, that's it. You know he said it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: And how about forcing the Olympics to be moved from
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Maybe I'll force the Olympics to be moved,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: or I'll ask the mayor to undo the FIFA Games
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: World FIFA Games, or excuse me, I'll ask FIFA to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: transfer the games out, which, by the way, I don't
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: think they can anyway, I mean, let's get practical about it,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and back to my original position. These are just throwaway lines.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: A reporter throws something at the president. The president instead
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: of being measured, let me think about it, and hands
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: it off to a and hands off to one of
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: his staffers. Because presidents tend to be measured and very
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: careful in what they say and think things through sometimes
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: too slow, Biden.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: But very few presidents.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Do what this president does, and that's just throw things
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: out and reporters though it. So there's a lot of
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: gotchats going on in the world of press conferences.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: But the question is does he think he has the influence.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: To have the US the International Olympic Committee, remove LA
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: and go someplace else.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Can they?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think they can't, even contractually if they wanted to.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: All Right, enough of that, Okay, what's going on on
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the I five? And this is the I five goes
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: right next to the ocean and Camp Penalton is on
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: each side, and you're when you're going next to the ocean,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: there's only a few hundred yards of beach between the freeway.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And the and the ocean, and it's kind of neat.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I've seen a couple of amphibious training exercises.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: They are and you don't know what is happening. It's
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: just happenstance, man.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: They look great with the helicopters and the hovercraft and ah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it's just tremendous. Well, there's going to be a big
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: one coming up to commemorate the Marine Corps two hundred
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: and fiftieth anniversary and it's being called See to Shore,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a Review of Amphibious Strength, and Vice President Vance is
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: going to be there and this is going to be
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a big one. One of things about the Trump administration
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: is they are not shy about showing American fighting force,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: not shy at all. This is an administration that is
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: proud of its ability to fight, proud of its armed services,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and we're going to show you that we're going to
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: do it well. Obviously, there's all kinds of controversy because
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: we've got a governor, the governor's administration that doesn't particularly
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: like the Trump administration and is saying, wait a minute,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we've heard that there are going to be live exercises,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: live fire. Okay, then you just shut down the freeway
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: and it becomes part and part soul of the event
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: or the argument here or the stories is that the
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: freeway is still going to continue on and there will
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: be live fire over the freeway, as in attacking the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: amphibious forces coming in with live fire.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Now, are they going to hit anybody? Of course not.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: That's not the point.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: The point is is that the governor is so pissed off, saying,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: how can you possibly do this on our beaches. By
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the way, Camp Pendleton is a federal property. How can
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: you do this and allow people to go through? Well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: we're talking about shutting down.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: We don't know. It may be closed.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: It may be closed by the federal government and may
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: be closed by the state.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Government.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: We have absolutely no idea, but there will be a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: huge show of force that we know.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It's kind of neat.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever seen it, As I told you,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it's really neat to see that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I've lived out here forever and passed by Pendleton one
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: thousand times.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Doesn't don't they have.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Signs that always say that there's possibility of live fire?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I've ever noticed that? Yeah, I've never noticed that. I've
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: never noticed that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and brother graduated there at Pendleton as a marine,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and I remember driving back and forth. There's signs on
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: those beaches everywhere that say caution live fire drills.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, how do you caution against live fire? Droves explain
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that just don't don't go onto the beach. It doesn't
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: say don't look at you.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: You're not allowed on the beach anyway, are you?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: No?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But are you allowed onto a Pendleton beach?
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: No? But you're not allowed in area fifty one. It
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean there isn't people that try and get in
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: there every year. But but there are signs all over there,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Okay that I don't remember seeing it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: The one thing I do remember, I've seen a couple
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of exercises, and they are neat to see that they
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: really are.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So in any case, we'll see what happens with this.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And it's going to coincide with No King demonstration or
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: No Kings demonstration on Saturday, demonstrations all over the country,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: the anti Trump administration demonstration.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: The demonstration is saying that they're.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Over the government is overreaching of course when it comes
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: to immigration and all the stuff that people have a
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: problem with. So we're going to have a dual demonstration.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: So who's gonna win. Are the demonstrators going to win
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: or are the guys who have artillery pieces, helicopters, tanks
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: and armed infantry.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Who do you think is going to win that battle?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're not gonna fight.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: But it's a it's a fun visual, it really is,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: all right now, Oh this is another one.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I love politics, all right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: There were some leak messages from young Republican leaders, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: these messages included this is political, pick this up, racist slurs,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: rape jokes, gas chamber commentaries, and man, you've got politicians
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: on both sides of the aisle going nuts and calling
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: for those who were engaged in these slurs and commentary
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: just to resign.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Well, the VP jd Vance dismissed it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: You're just doing pearl clutching that these participants were just
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: kids telling stupid jokes and that shouldn't ruin their lives,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: one of the kids being Vermont state Senator Sam Douglas,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: who happens to be a very young sixty nine. So
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: it was just kids doing this, mind you. And this
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: is the Young Republicans National Federation, the GOP's political organization
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: for Republicans between eighteen and forty and other people in
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: this case, for example, Sam Douglas was in on the
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: chat and the group described the exchanges as unbecoming of
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: any Republican. The official group is saying, come on, this
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous, and there were months of exchange of this
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: crazy stuff that Politico picked up. Now Here is the problem,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and that is Vance immediately comes out and rips into
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the one interview that was said by I think a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: a Democrat about somehow two shots should be put in
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: someone's head, you know, an assassination, and he said, that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the problem, not kids making jokes about the Holocaust or rape.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: That's the problem. Guys like this, which is far far
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: more dangerous. You know what, why can't you call for
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: the resignation of both sides on that? Why can't you
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: simply say both are reprehensible? And you can't advocate or
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: say it's a good thing that Charlie Kirk was killed.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: You can say you disagree with Charlie Kirk.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: You can certainly say the world has changed because Charlie
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Kirk was killed. But to say that's a good thing,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: if you're a politician, I'm gonna argue you're done with that,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You're gone.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And the same thing with anybody who says and.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: These were open chats, Holocaust jokes and rape commentary, and
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I mean just such offensive stuff. Vance does not want
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: those people to resign. That was just jokes among young people.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: So according to Vance, it doesn't matter what a Republican says,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: it does not matter. There will be no retribution, there
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: will be no accountability. If the Democrats say it, it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: all over. They've got to go. They've got to go.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And you know, when we talk about polarity, even that
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: even people talking about and joking about the Holocaust and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: rape and lynching. I don't know if lynching even took
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: place in this conversation, But no, no, we don't resign
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: for that because those are just ah shucks, just kids.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: It's just kids having a good time. I've really gotten there.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: And by the way, on both sides of the aisle,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I mean politicians who in my opinion, actually have a
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: decent view of what this country is about. Both sides
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: were screaming, they've got to go. You cannot have this,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: you cannot have this, and here we go. He reiterated
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: about the kids. This is on Wednesday Vance and on
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, which I think is run
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: by Charlie Kirks, Charlie Kirk's wife. I think she's handling
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the podcast and other conservatives are coming in and taking
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: turns doing the podcast. And he was asked about the
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: reporting that a person seriously wishing for political violence and
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: political assassination is one thousand times worse than what a
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: bunch of young people, a bunch of kids say in
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: a group chat. You know, when I say we've gone crazy,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: when I say politics has gone absolutely nuts, I mean it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: And that's all the way up up, that's up the
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: ladder to the very highest reaches of our government.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: It's all crazy.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Pritzker, who absolutely disagrees with the president. So the President
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't come back and say Pritzker is nuts. Well he does,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: you know, And I am I'm okay with that. I mean,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I like, thank frankly Donald Trump getting to our level
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: and being real. The guy's a jerk, the guy's an ass.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: But how about the guy should be arrested. We should
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: arrest him for what he's doing.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You know what. And I'm saying, this is the president,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you know what, have some balls? Have some balls? Call
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: cash Pttel call him.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Right now, get on the phone and say, you go
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: arrest Pritzker, and you argue that he has violated some
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: kind of federal law, and you go handcuff him right now,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: you gutless wonder.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: You say he should be arrested. Then do it? All right?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Oh all right? Let me tell you what used to happen.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I think if you did any traveling decades ago, and
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: when I started traveling in my twenties and through my
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: thirties and my forties, even my fifties. Now I'm one
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty years old, I was told many times
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: that that American passport that you hold is the most
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: valuable passport on earth. And why is that well, because,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: first of all, the most countries in the world that
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: allow you to come in without a visa was the
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: American passport. The countries that accepted and wanted to a
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Mariamericans in more than any other country in the world.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And so we've sort of gone down. The Henley Passport Index,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: which of course no one knows what they hell that is,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: has rankings measuring passport potency in this regard the number
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: of countries that let you in without a visa. Countries
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: will let you in without a visa, are countries that
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: want you in, and that is a part of this index. Okay,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: for the first time in twenty years, we're out of
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: the top ten. Three Asian passports now command the top
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Singapore one hundred and ninety three destinations worldwide visa free,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: and then South Korea and then Japan.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: We're now down to twelfth place.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: We were number one even as late as twenty fourteen,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: where the American passport was worth everything. The American passport
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: was worth real, real money back in the day. I
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: mean people, what you were told is you hang on
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: to your money, your wallet, and your passport, with your
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: passport being the most valuable thing that you had on
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: you if you were traveling overseas, and so now it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: just access changes.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: In April, Brazil withdrew the visa.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Free access for citizens from the US, Canada, Australia. Because
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: of reciprocity, China has been introducing more welcoming policies. It
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: used to be impossible to go into China. Now, man,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: they want everybody in there except the US citizens. We
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: still need a visa and it's not that easy to
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: get in Papua New Guinea and me and mar they're
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: higher than we are. Somalia, okay, Somalia is a launch
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: of a new eVisa system and Vietnam's exclusion of the
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: US from its visa free edition. Now keep involved. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: don't know if you've ever been to Somalia, but Somalia
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: they're chefs. They have a couple of three star Michelin
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: chefs who use branches to serve you dinner. Because that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: it sticks. This is Somalia, and you need a visa
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: to get into Somalia. You think Somalia would desperately want
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: anybody with money.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: The UK had the top spot on the index in
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. I remember twenty fourteen, the US dropped out
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: and the UK is now in its lowest ever six
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to eighth place. Okay, there are a few that are
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: at the bottom, at the very bottom of the list.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Number one oh six Afghanistan visa free access to just
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: twenty four destinations. I want to know which countries love
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Afghanis coming into their countries because Afghanis have so much money. Right,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Syria is way down at the bottom too, not good, so.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Highly desirable passports.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Well, not only do they represent people who countries want
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: in read money investment, we.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Want to treat people from that country very well.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: But also that also translates into very few restrictions between
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: the US and Europe. For example, we don't have a
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: passport issue. I mean, there's no country that gives me
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: we need a visa with flying to Germany, who fly
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: into France with fly into the UK internative passport other countries. Yeah,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: all right, this is KFI Am sixty.
• 22:54
