Speaker 1: You're listenings kf I AM six forty the bill Handles
0:04
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeartRadio app AM sixty bill
0:11
Speaker 1: Handle on a Friday, March twentieth, the Footy Friday, Ask
0:14
Speaker 1: Candle Anything Friday. That's the last hour of our show
0:17
Speaker 1: starting at eight o'clock and it's always a great deal
0:19
Speaker 1: of fund trending. Iran is threatening now to target recreational
0:25
Speaker 1: and tourist sites worldwide and says it's still building missiles,
0:30
Speaker 1: which I'm going to talk about in just a moment.
0:33
Speaker 2: In the meantime.
0:35
Speaker 1: Yesterday it was revealed the Pentagon has asked for two
0:38
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars in additional funding for the war in Iran.
0:43
Speaker 1: And the way it works is the request goes to
0:46
Speaker 1: the White House through the military, and then the White
0:50
Speaker 1: House proposes it to Congress. Because there is no way
0:55
Speaker 1: that the president can spend anywhere near that much money arbitrarily.
1:00
Speaker 2: Now he can start a war arbitrarily.
1:02
Speaker 1: It seems the president is being got given more and
1:05
Speaker 1: more power by the day, and this has been going
1:08
Speaker 1: on forever. Democratic Party does the same thing when a
1:12
Speaker 1: Democrat is in charge. Do you know that the founding
1:16
Speaker 1: fathers did not want a strong president. They wanted the
1:21
Speaker 1: Congress to be strong because the people of the United States,
1:26
Speaker 1: Americans should govern and frankly, the president not chosen by
1:32
Speaker 1: the people, particularly because of the electoral College, should not
1:36
Speaker 1: have the kind of power. And then over the decades,
1:38
Speaker 1: over the centuries, the president has garnered more and more power,
1:41
Speaker 1: and now to the point where the president has immense power,
1:45
Speaker 1: for example, starting a war like this and or attacking Venezuela.
1:50
Speaker 1: And so at two hundred billion dollars, there's no way
1:53
Speaker 1: on God's Earth he is going to be able to
1:55
Speaker 1: fight this war. The first week eleven billion dollars, two
1:58
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars, almost a quarter of the entire budget
2:02
Speaker 1: of the military for the fiscal year. Yeah, that's big stuff.
2:08
Speaker 1: So Defense Secretary in defending asking for two hundred billion
2:14
Speaker 1: dollars that obviously it takes money to kill the bad guys. Now,
2:18
Speaker 1: even some moderate Republicans are going, hold on a minute.
2:21
Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats are against it no matter what,
2:23
Speaker 1: because the president is a Republican, because it's gotten that
2:25
Speaker 1: crazy in terms of polarization.
2:27
Speaker 2: But even some moderate Democrats are.
2:29
Speaker 1: Going, wait a minute, that is a whole lot of
2:33
Speaker 1: money and look at where this war is going. Even
2:38
Speaker 1: though the President says we won it the first day,
2:41
Speaker 1: it's going to be soon that we are going to
2:44
Speaker 1: win this war. Effectively, we've already won the war. Well,
2:47
Speaker 1: we're nearly three weeks into the war, and for somehow
2:52
Speaker 1: Iran is still able to launch its strones and missiles
2:55
Speaker 1: and cause just unbelievable havoc. And as a matter of fact,
3:00
Speaker 1: I just said as I announced that it's going to
3:03
Speaker 1: target recreational and tourist sites around the world read the Mideast.
3:11
Speaker 1: So it's at war and the Midiast countries have not
3:14
Speaker 1: jumped in yet. They're still in a defensive posture and
3:17
Speaker 1: they're trying to put a cork in this as much
3:20
Speaker 1: as they can. But I think that Iran keeps on going.
3:26
Speaker 1: It's going to be the world against Iran, and Iran
3:29
Speaker 1: doesn't care. Iran's a pariah nation. Iran is not part
3:33
Speaker 1: of the world community, is not interested. Iran is interested
3:38
Speaker 1: number one, destroying Israel. That's really important, doing as much
3:44
Speaker 1: harm to the United States as possible. Hates democracy, We
3:51
Speaker 1: are all infidels because Islam and Muhammad wants the world
3:57
Speaker 1: to be wants the world to be Muslim as far
4:01
Speaker 1: as the way the Iranians view Islam. Because even the enemies,
4:08
Speaker 1: or even Saudi Arabia for example, that looks at Islam
4:13
Speaker 1: or has a different view, the different belief system, still Muslim,
4:19
Speaker 1: but did different view of it. They are enemies and
4:24
Speaker 1: they must be attacked. And when we're talking about Iran also.
4:30
Speaker 2: It is the world leader.
4:33
Speaker 1: In supplying arms and training and support for terrorist groups
4:38
Speaker 1: all over the world. And so in terms of the war,
4:43
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are against the war.
4:44
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of talk about imminent threat and
4:47
Speaker 1: it wasn't imminent threat.
4:48
Speaker 2: But you know, let's take a look at Iran.
4:50
Speaker 1: How many thousands of missiles and drones do they have,
4:54
Speaker 1: not one of them being defensive, all of them being offensive,
5:00
Speaker 1: And it's it's one of those is if it's not
5:04
Speaker 1: imminent right now, when when do we stop Iran? When
5:11
Speaker 1: when the threat is there and they can do well
5:14
Speaker 1: as Natagna who said yesterday, can you imagine Iran having
5:19
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon and what they would do with it
5:23
Speaker 1: and even the smallest chance, and they are enriching uranium,
5:28
Speaker 1: we know that, and enriching uranium the only purpose you
5:33
Speaker 1: rich enriched uranium to that point that Iran is there
5:38
Speaker 1: in the United States and other countries certainly are is
5:40
Speaker 1: for the purposes of nuclear weapons. Iran claims this is
5:45
Speaker 1: for peaceful purposes. You need three percent enrichment of uranium
5:50
Speaker 1: for peaceful purposes. Weapons grade is ninety percent Iranians. Iran
5:56
Speaker 1: is already at sixty or seventy percent from what we're told.
5:59
Speaker 1: You think that's for defeats. So two hundred billion dollars.
6:04
Speaker 2: I'd give it. I'd give it. I'm not a big
6:07
Speaker 2: fan of the president, but on this one, I.
6:10
Speaker 1: Completely believe Iran is that much of a threat to
6:13
Speaker 1: the world, and the world is just letting it happen.
6:17
Speaker 1: Nineteen thirty eight, World War two, Hitler, We'll just let
6:21
Speaker 1: it happen.
6:23
Speaker 2: There's going to be peace.
6:24
Speaker 1: We believe him when he said he's not interested in
6:27
Speaker 1: starting a war and only wanted the Czechoslovakian sue dayton Land. Okay,
6:32
Speaker 1: here you go. Oh and then weeks later he attacks.
6:37
Speaker 1: All right, coming up. The extreme heat we're experiencing right now,
6:44
Speaker 1: and there's some issues involved people dying, as you can imagine,
6:47
Speaker 1: And I want to talk a little bit about policy.
6:50
Speaker 1: Tay fine, Am six forty Bill handle here on a
6:54
Speaker 1: Friday morning, March twentieth. News that just broke is that
7:00
Speaker 1: President Gustavo Petro of Colombia, who has said many negative
7:06
Speaker 1: things about President Trump, is now under criminal investigation by
7:11
Speaker 1: at least two US Federal Prosecutor's office. And these investigations
7:16
Speaker 1: have to do with international narcotics trafficking, and so that's
7:24
Speaker 1: it's much like Maduro. Now, keep in mind that this
7:28
Speaker 1: President Petro, Gustafo Prett, has been a critic of President Trump,
7:34
Speaker 1: and it's no surprise that now a criminal investigation has
7:37
Speaker 1: been opened up by the US. At the same time,
7:41
Speaker 1: former President Bolsonaro of Brazil, who is in prison right
7:45
Speaker 1: now for corruption, President Trump has put a fifty percent
7:51
Speaker 1: tariff on Brazil unless Bolsonaro is released. Why because Bolsonario
7:59
Speaker 1: is a vow He's an avowed fan and an ally
8:05
Speaker 1: of President Trump.
8:06
Speaker 2: Man. It just doesn't stop, doesn't It's so blatant, it
8:10
Speaker 2: just it's it's crazy.
8:12
Speaker 1: Can you imagine any other president doing this and getting
8:15
Speaker 1: away with it? Can you imagine? Okay, it's hot now,
8:20
Speaker 1: and obviously it's hot, and there's extreme heat here in California,
8:26
Speaker 1: as you know, and the vulnerable are very vulnerable. Who
8:30
Speaker 1: are vulnerable well elderly people and it's so hot that
8:34
Speaker 1: people who don't have air conditioning and work outside, for example,
8:40
Speaker 1: it's very dangerous. So you would think that government's, city, state, county, California,
8:48
Speaker 1: this would would have plans in place to deal with
8:54
Speaker 1: the heat and helping with people who are particularly vulnerable.
8:59
Speaker 2: A quick one.
9:00
Speaker 1: Do you know that there is no law that says
9:02
Speaker 1: air conditioning has to be supplied to renters, and there
9:06
Speaker 1: are people that do not have air conditioning, you think
9:09
Speaker 1: they're in trouble. And so the various agencies don't talk
9:14
Speaker 1: to each other, and there are a lot of people
9:18
Speaker 1: that are saying, hey, this is one of those issues
9:23
Speaker 1: at heat, this kind of heat, and it's going to
9:25
Speaker 1: go on because climate change is here, and as we've known,
9:31
Speaker 1: the rains are going to get rainier and drought is
9:33
Speaker 1: going to be much droudier, and we're going to get
9:35
Speaker 1: more heat during the heat spells and they're going to
9:39
Speaker 1: go longer, and the drought is going to be more brutal.
9:44
Speaker 1: At the same time, the flooding in the Midwest, the
9:48
Speaker 1: snow in the East, as we've seen for the entire winter.
9:51
Speaker 2: How brutal it has been.
9:53
Speaker 1: You would think that the governments would look at this
9:57
Speaker 1: mainly like as they do natural disasters, where you have
10:03
Speaker 1: earthquakes or floods, where everybody gets together. The organizations do
10:09
Speaker 1: get together, there is a plan in place.
10:12
Speaker 2: FEMA goes out.
10:13
Speaker 1: To a flood zone, for example, and coordinates with the
10:20
Speaker 1: other agencies, and there is a lead agency. It doesn't
10:24
Speaker 1: exist with the heat. The heat is viewed as just
10:29
Speaker 1: a long term issue. Well, guess what. It is no
10:33
Speaker 1: longer a long term issue. It has to be dealt
10:37
Speaker 1: with right now. People going to die. It's that simple,
10:41
Speaker 1: you know. There are remember a few years ago in
10:44
Speaker 1: Chicago during one of these brutal heat spells, there were
10:47
Speaker 1: half a dozen people that died. Elderly people, a couple
10:50
Speaker 1: of them that were obviously didn't have cognitive skills, thought
10:56
Speaker 1: that it was cold, and they wore sweaters, and they
10:58
Speaker 1: all died simply because they didn't know what was going on.
11:03
Speaker 1: And so we're talking about cooling centers, malls where people
11:09
Speaker 1: can do where elderly people, big tented areas that are
11:12
Speaker 1: air conditioned. Authorities going out and finding these people the
11:18
Speaker 1: way they do during major fires the way they do
11:20
Speaker 1: during major catastrophes, and it just is not happening. And
11:25
Speaker 1: where the money is being spent, it's on messaging education campaign,
11:32
Speaker 1: collecting data and tools to assess the haster, the.
11:37
Speaker 2: Hazard of heat.
11:39
Speaker 1: Even the grants to local communities, it's about education, effectively
11:44
Speaker 1: saying heat is bad. Heat is hot, and it can
11:50
Speaker 1: be very dangerous. That's where the money is going. Okay,
11:54
Speaker 1: enough of that. The heat ends today, doesn't it amy
12:00
Speaker 1: it's really bad today. It's going to be another scorcher today,
12:03
Speaker 1: and then it does cool down five to ten degrees tomorrow,
12:06
Speaker 1: and then another probably five degrees on Sunday.
12:08
Speaker 2: So it's still gonna be hot, but not not scorching.
12:11
Speaker 1: So it's gonna it's it's gonna be hot, but not
12:13
Speaker 1: a Schwitz, not a sch Fitz, not a s Fitz.
12:16
Speaker 1: It's a dry heat. Hey, handle, I have a quick
12:20
Speaker 1: correction for you. During the Zelman spot, you said KFI
12:25
Speaker 1: was the code. It's actually KFI twenty.
12:28
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that.
12:29
Speaker 3: I need to get the twenty percent off.
12:30
Speaker 2: Oh really, it's KFI twenty. That's news to me.
12:33
Speaker 3: By twenty.
12:36
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I did not know that KFAI twenty tak
12:42
Speaker 1: to me?
12:42
Speaker 3: What is it?
12:43
Speaker 2: It's KFI twenty okay? And who who just died?
12:49
Speaker 1: Chuck Norris just died? Yeah, he did it, just came down.
12:52
Speaker 1: He's dead at eighty six.
12:54
Speaker 4: You know when he was born he drove his mom
12:56
Speaker 4: home from the hospital. Do you know Chuck Norris doesn't
13:02
Speaker 4: flush the toilet? He scares the crap out of it.
13:05
Speaker 4: I heard he could kill two stones with one bird. Absolutely,
13:08
Speaker 4: Chuck Norri. You know, like Norris didn't do push ups,
13:12
Speaker 4: he actually pushed the earth down.
13:15
Speaker 1: Do you know there are a lot of Chuck Norris
13:16
Speaker 1: jokes out there, not one of which I know, so
13:20
Speaker 1: thank god.
13:22
Speaker 2: Yes, Chuck Norris completely dead.
13:24
Speaker 3: Sam and I have been exchanging them.
13:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually built the hospital he was born.
13:29
Speaker 3: In, Yep with his bare hands.
13:33
Speaker 4: Do you know that Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice?
13:39
Speaker 2: Okay, we're.
13:42
Speaker 1: Do you think we can move on? Or do we
13:44
Speaker 1: spend the rest of the show? Do we Chuck Norris jokes?
13:46
Speaker 4: I won't move on until Chuck Norris himself tells me
13:49
Speaker 4: it's okay.
13:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, until he dies. He just did. Okay, what is immorality?
13:58
Speaker 1: What do Americans think is immoral. And there's some surprises
14:02
Speaker 1: here and then no surprises, and I'll share that with
14:05
Speaker 1: you as I listened to more of these ridiculous Chuck
14:07
Speaker 1: Norris jokes during the break.
14:09
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
14:13
Speaker 2: six forty.
14:16
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here, good morning. It
14:20
Speaker 1: is a foody Friday, ass Handle anything Friday. A lot
14:23
Speaker 1: going on, just been the news just broke. Chuck Norris
14:27
Speaker 1: is dead at the age of eighty six, and he
14:32
Speaker 1: went down fighting on this wonderful phrase in his case
14:34
Speaker 1: and may be absolutely true. Gas still going up and
14:39
Speaker 1: the price of oil still going up big.
14:42
Speaker 2: Time, the war in Iran still expanding.
14:46
Speaker 1: Ron now threatened to target recreational and tourist sites worldwide,
14:51
Speaker 1: and it turns out that still we have the countries
14:58
Speaker 1: in the Mideast still all taking a offensive posture. No
15:01
Speaker 1: one has joined the war yet fighting Iran. Okay, hey, Bill.
15:06
Speaker 4: Did you know that that death had a near Chuck
15:12
Speaker 4: Norris experience once?
15:15
Speaker 2: Okay, We're going to do that again for the rest of.
15:18
Speaker 1: No.
15:18
Speaker 2: Please, please, let's keep on going.
15:21
Speaker 4: Ken wrote and said that he went to Birmingham High
15:23
Speaker 4: with you and that At one point, Chuck Norris did
15:26
Speaker 4: an exhibit exhibition there.
15:28
Speaker 1: Do you remember Not only do I not remember Ken,
15:30
Speaker 1: I don't remember going to high school at Birmingham. I
15:35
Speaker 1: was so stoned at the time. But that was my
15:37
Speaker 1: marijuana days. That wasn't my cocaine days.
15:40
Speaker 2: Okay.
15:41
Speaker 1: There is a survey that just came out. Survey says,
15:45
Speaker 1: it's an interesting survey. It was a few Research Center survey.
15:49
Speaker 1: I do this every once in a while, and it
15:52
Speaker 1: has to do with what do Americans consider immoral this
15:55
Speaker 1: time around? And now they didn't ask questions about you know,
16:02
Speaker 1: stealing or you know, robbing banks or you know, killing people.
16:07
Speaker 1: That's sort of a given, but a little bit nuanced,
16:11
Speaker 1: more nuanced. For example, seventy five percent expressed no moral
16:16
Speaker 1: objection to spanking children. That is something that I have
16:21
Speaker 1: a problem with. Spanking children. Now drop kicking them is
16:25
Speaker 1: a different issue completely, and this is one of the
16:28
Speaker 1: reasons why my girls are so script screwed up. Sixty
16:33
Speaker 1: three percent no moral problem with patients choosing to commit
16:37
Speaker 1: suicide with the help of a doctor. And then there
16:40
Speaker 1: are a couple where you know, I sort of see
16:43
Speaker 1: that one. But the problem I have is how Americans,
16:47
Speaker 1: particularly conservatives evangelicals, have decided that they are going to make.
16:52
Speaker 2: Decisions for other people.
16:54
Speaker 1: We will not let you insert name of whatever activity
16:59
Speaker 1: for zample, sixty percent have no moral qualms about homosexuality?
17:04
Speaker 2: Does that mean forty percent?
17:05
Speaker 3: Do?
17:08
Speaker 2: Really? Boy? That really offends you.
17:12
Speaker 1: I know, God doesn't like homosexuals, right, yeah, sure we
17:19
Speaker 1: Well here's one that is I found interesting. In nine
17:23
Speaker 1: and ten US adults. This goes way beyond sex, because
17:27
Speaker 1: there's an entire issue about pornography, for example, that's sort
17:32
Speaker 1: of evenly split. Now I happen to think there's no
17:36
Speaker 1: problem with pornography.
17:37
Speaker 2: I really don't.
17:39
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to have sex with a
17:40
Speaker 1: kangaroo using a ball chain while you're married, I don't care.
17:44
Speaker 1: It has to be an adult consenting kangaroo. By the way,
17:46
Speaker 1: that's important.
17:48
Speaker 2: Nine and ten.
17:49
Speaker 1: US adults say that married people having an affair is
17:53
Speaker 1: morally wrong. About half of you, as a US adult
17:57
Speaker 1: saying viewing pornography is morally wrong. So they're not going
18:02
Speaker 1: to go to the films that I went to, you know,
18:05
Speaker 1: Subway Slot Debbie does. The East Coast can't do that.
18:11
Speaker 1: Half the people say, oh, you shouldn't do that bill.
18:15
Speaker 1: The abortion one is that's different. Forty seven percent of
18:20
Speaker 1: American and say having an abortion is morally wrong. About
18:23
Speaker 1: half say abortion is not a moral issue okay, and
18:28
Speaker 1: some say it's morally acceptable. There's two different views of
18:32
Speaker 1: that the abortion issue. I give a lot of credence
18:37
Speaker 1: to those that are anti abortion, even though I am
18:40
Speaker 1: pro choice and have been. And that is their position
18:44
Speaker 1: is that abortion is murder. That is a legitimate position.
18:50
Speaker 1: You are killing there is no question. Then the issue
18:54
Speaker 1: is are you killing a person? And therein lies a
18:58
Speaker 1: scientific discussion. Is an embryo a person? Well, it's the
19:04
Speaker 1: beginning of life, and an embryo is a person? Then
19:07
Speaker 1: is it when it attaches to the uterine wall? Is
19:11
Speaker 1: it when it divides? And at what point it divides?
19:17
Speaker 1: Does it divide? A doesn't finish dividing for days? I
19:21
Speaker 1: mean it starts dividing. Is that when the division happens?
19:24
Speaker 1: I mean that's not easily determined. And the people that
19:28
Speaker 1: are pro choice, that's an easy one.
19:31
Speaker 2: We don't care.
19:33
Speaker 1: Now, we don't believe that a baby is there. Actually
19:37
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't believe that there's a human
19:39
Speaker 1: being there until the baby is born. You know, even
19:43
Speaker 1: the law, the law itself recognizes when a baby is
19:49
Speaker 1: a baby at different stages of pregnancy.
19:54
Speaker 2: For example, murder.
19:57
Speaker 1: Right, if a woman is in her third trimester, and
20:00
Speaker 1: if someone kills that woman, that's two counts of murder.
20:02
Speaker 2: If the baby dies.
20:03
Speaker 3: How can that be if.
20:06
Speaker 1: Because under the law, there's plenty of non consensus.
20:09
Speaker 2: Under the law.
20:10
Speaker 1: For purposes of inheritance, for example, there is nobody to
20:16
Speaker 1: inherit until the baby is born and starts breathing. That's
20:21
Speaker 1: what it becomes a human being for purposes of inheritance,
20:25
Speaker 1: not while it's being born. For purposes of abortion, there
20:30
Speaker 1: is no human being there. In the first trimester, and
20:34
Speaker 1: the second trimester, it's under certain circumstances. In a third trimester,
20:40
Speaker 1: it's an exception to perform an abortion. So it's different
20:45
Speaker 1: rules at different points of a pregnancy.
20:48
Speaker 3: You know, when Chuck Norris was born, he slapped the doctor.
20:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so how's this one? Right?
20:56
Speaker 1: When you were born, you're so ugly, the doctor slapped
20:58
Speaker 1: your mother, your poor mom.
21:03
Speaker 2: All right, we're done with that. We're done. Here's the question,
21:07
Speaker 2: and I don't understand the answer here, what's wrong with
21:09
Speaker 2: the IRS. And this one the way this country deals
21:13
Speaker 2: with the IRS, the way the government deals with the
21:15
Speaker 2: IRS is to me insanity. And I'll share that with
21:19
Speaker 2: you coming back, and then we will do Foody Friday.
21:22
Speaker 2: And at the bottom of the hour, ask handle anything, Yeah, fie,
21:26
Speaker 2: I am six forty bill handle here, Foody Friday, Ask
21:30
Speaker 2: candle anything Friday, March twentieth.
21:33
Speaker 1: Chuck Norris is completely dead. We got that news just
21:38
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. Also, the war in Iran expanding drastically.
21:44
Speaker 1: Iran now threatened to target recreational and tourist sites worldwide,
21:49
Speaker 1: really around the Gulf. And as the attacks from Iran
21:54
Speaker 1: are going on and on, the Gulf State so far
21:59
Speaker 1: still in a defense mode, even as their infrastructure is
22:04
Speaker 1: being blown to hell. It's very strange. Gas is up again,
22:08
Speaker 1: the price of oil is up again. There's a lot
22:12
Speaker 1: going on.
22:12
Speaker 2: Now.
22:13
Speaker 1: There's a question I have and this was out of
22:16
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, and the question is, and I've been asking
22:18
Speaker 1: this question forever, what's going on with the IRS. Here's
22:23
Speaker 1: what's really weird is you would think the IRS would
22:27
Speaker 1: get all the money it needs. It turns out that
22:32
Speaker 1: for every dollar that is spent on the IRS, it
22:35
Speaker 1: collects twelve dollars. That is the engine that generates the
22:42
Speaker 1: money in this country that the United States uses.
22:45
Speaker 2: It is the oil.
22:46
Speaker 1: It is the gasoline that gives it its ability to
22:50
Speaker 1: move this country.
22:52
Speaker 2: And it's this administration, other administrations.
22:56
Speaker 1: Particularly this one, cutting the IRS staffers, like how about this?
23:02
Speaker 1: Cutting twenty percent of employees of the IRS since twenty
23:06
Speaker 1: twenty four And a couple of reasons. First of all,
23:11
Speaker 1: the number of undocumented folks who pay taxes is very,
23:15
Speaker 1: very high. Why because the IRS is telling and has
23:18
Speaker 1: told people, listen, we don't care what your status is.
23:21
Speaker 1: Pay your taxes, and huge number do. And we're not
23:25
Speaker 1: going to share your information with the border patrol people
23:29
Speaker 1: or ice. That's a firewall because we want our money.
23:33
Speaker 1: Well that's changed now you've got the most undocumented. Wouldn't
23:38
Speaker 1: dream of filing taxes and giving the government any information
23:42
Speaker 1: about themselves knowing that that's going to be shared.
23:45
Speaker 2: Those tax dollars are gone.
23:48
Speaker 1: And look at the deficits we have, They're astronomical.
23:53
Speaker 2: There's a couple of fun facts.
23:54
Speaker 1: President Trump suing the IRS personally for mishandling his information.
23:59
Speaker 1: His retire turns were leaked during his first term, and
24:03
Speaker 1: he's asking for ten billion dollars in damages. Now it's
24:07
Speaker 1: his administration that is going to negotiate with him about
24:11
Speaker 1: the money that the administration is going to pay him.
24:15
Speaker 1: So he is both the plaintiff and the defendant simultaneously,
24:19
Speaker 1: and someone in his administration is going to say yes,
24:24
Speaker 1: no or negotiated. And I wonder how much negotiation is
24:28
Speaker 1: going on. Also, the head of the I r S.
24:31
Speaker 1: They've gone through the heads of the I r S
24:36
Speaker 1: since the administer this administration started. They're going through them
24:40
Speaker 1: like I changed my underwear about once a week. And
24:44
Speaker 1: at this point, what Neil, don't give me that, don't
24:50
Speaker 1: give me those looks. Okay, this is I make points here.
24:54
Speaker 1: This is the you know, I try analogies, I try
24:57
Speaker 1: visuals because this.
24:58
Speaker 3: Is your word artists, thank you, thank your pictures, sir.
25:04
Speaker 1: Yes, and so it is something that I just don't
25:08
Speaker 1: get when you're dealing with these kinds of deficits and
25:13
Speaker 1: the government is there, the I r S is there
25:15
Speaker 1: to collect the money, which is the lifeblood, the mother's
25:19
Speaker 1: milk of how we operate.
25:20
Speaker 2: And now we're gonna cut We're going to.
25:22
Speaker 1: Cut agents, We're gonna cut audits. We're gonna cut the
25:26
Speaker 1: ability to collect because they figure ther even the i
25:31
Speaker 1: R S. The overview of the i R S, their
25:34
Speaker 1: independent watchdogs are saying about six hundred billion dollars is
25:39
Speaker 1: left on the table every year in uncollected returns and
25:45
Speaker 1: money due. I mean, why wouldn't you throw money at
25:49
Speaker 1: the i R s to collect, to go after the
25:51
Speaker 1: scofflaws or skollflaws?
25:53
Speaker 2: I think is scofflaws? All right? Well, yeah, thank you?
25:56
Speaker 1: Just like just like the cocktail, I didn't know there
26:00
Speaker 1: was a cocktail, the scafflaw?
26:03
Speaker 3: What kind of I'm delicious?
26:05
Speaker 2: What is it?
26:05
Speaker 3: I'll make you one?
26:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know what. I don't drink, but
26:08
Speaker 2: what what is the scofflaw?
26:10
Speaker 3: I actually can't think of the specs right now, but
26:12
