Stop wasting our money.
Minimum wage for Congress.
Could you imagine!!! We'd be watching these clowns get arrested for selling drugs to make rent
Paid the same as the armed forces.
At 04:35 that guy sitting behind Shalanda Young. Is that Steve Phillips? Maoist communist who pushes race politics, groomed Kamala Harris, and Stacy Abrams.
I don't think that's how they make their money.
They should work for free, President Trump donated his salary for 4 years, let's see them do the same thing,
Seniors going hungry, millions of homeless people, people can't afford to go to the doctor or dentist, social security in jeopardy, etc., etc., etc. And yet we spend BILLIONS on useless projects every year.
But at least you will have the peace of mind there are programs to investigate ufos. And only for 20 million or so.. and a Senator's family member may have gotten a new yacht or two. Think if while drunk having a wild party they capture some pictures of lights in the sky.. wouldn't that make it all worthwhile? Besides; they are also testing bagels for you .. and there was even a program stuffed in the last stimulus bill allocating more money to study lizards running on treadmills.. you just never know what sort of innovations that could lead too.
@Maria C they need to drop all the unaccompanied dreamers in the rainforest
Yes, that sounds about right.
Thomas Tessier writes Seniors going hungry. Millions of of homeless people, people can’t afford to go to the doctor or dentist, social security in jeopardy,etc.etc.etc. And yet we spend BILLIONS on useless projects every year. I beg to differ. Seniors are not going hungry . Millions of homeless will be properly sheltered. Yes Americans spend billions through useless projects every day, every month
Many of which are overseas in the form of “ aide”......
It’s just sickening to hear this stuff, these people are criminals
This is a perfect example of why "Term Limits" are needed!
Yes! Then maybe the Republican Party might get some new members who actually give a damn about the people they CLAIM to care for!
Rand Paul almost has too much common sense to be a politician. 💡📝
@Thierry Verhoest He has been a politician for several years now as well as a doctor. Senator of Kentucky. He also ran for president in 2016 and was my primary choice.
@Thierry Verhoest He’s in an office. Senator from Kentucky.
Listen to his father. People hated him as well for speaking the truth and pointed out the mismanagement within both parties
He talks a good game but never plays it
@@robertcooke4989 Rand paul is 1/100 senators. That means he has 1% pull in 1/3 of the primary branches of government. The people need to elect more libertarian minded people, Rand can only do so much alone. The people are responsible for electing officials and we have failed miserably.
Rand paul did a great job
YES! HE SURE DID!
👍✌
This Gentleman is seriously growing on me. We will need more of his guidance in the future.
Yeah, don’t believe his bullshit. He only speaks up when it means nothing. If he can actually effect any change, we don’t hear a word. He has been in his position for over a decade, now. He promised to end Obamacare, secure the border, and balance the budget. Where was he in 2017, when the Republicans had total control of the government? The only time he said anything was when FOX News had him on. He is a swamp creature like McConnel. He only pretends to oppose Democrats when he cannot hurt them.
@rationalthought So you're good with our debt and spending?
@@texasswade8453 You don't know how it works. He is one guy, they have to have the majority of Senators in the various Republican committee groups go along with a bill or law to have it happen.
I'll never understand how he stays motivated to keep fighting for us under such continuingly mounting odds.
Because seeing destructive evil continue to thrive is maddening to a normal human being.
I mean he voted to increase deficit spending in increasing military budget under trump and tax cuts increase in deficit spending to about 3 trillion currently. He isn't a deficit hawk all the time only when it's anybody with D next to their name.
Additionally while he points to issues with history of spending provisions with earmarks it doesn't define how they will be used moving forward. To draw a parallel it would be the same as saying every republican president will continue to increase deficit spending because historically that is what they have done in the past while democrats actually reduce deficit spending (adding caveat: Obama Wallstreet bailout added debt but not annual deficit spending, and I was against the bailout too) that said I don't think thats a true or fair statement either. My issue I guess is that he wants her to prove a negative, and that's not possible.
It amazes me he can keep a straight face. He must feel like he's in a comedy sketch.
@@thenewguythedruid First off, Obama added to the debt WAY BEYOND the Wall Street bailout and he never did get the economy really going well with all his spending. Also, looking over the last 40 or so years, the truth is that Dem pres did the spending, people got pissed (also at Dems wild-assed social crap), voted in a Rep pres and the "chickens came home to roost" as the Rep was coming into office. The first 3 to 6 months of a new pres is the old pres' "baby". As to Trump, the truth is our super hot economy that he and Reps in Congress were instrumental in doing, started to pay back the debt and was putting tons of money into the treasury in taxes. Then we quarantined WELL PEOPLE which hasn't been done in the history of humankind (it was on purpose cuz "Orange Man Bad") over a virus that kills 99.6% of people whom are over 55-60 or has a gun shot wound, has late-stage cancer, has a rare untreatable disease, has major heart disease, etc. As for military spending, the CCP literally wants to take over our country. Personally, I don't believe in "better red than dead", as is CCP "red" (on a side note, there's proof that the "colors" that were originally put out by newscasters were red for Dems and blue for Reps, which makes more sense, but they quickly switched it).
I'm surprised he's still alive to be honest.
Did she say federal money, someone should remind her that is taxpayers money.
By this point the majority is borrowed to be paid of by me and my children and my children's children. The US Taxbase is almost 2 trillion per year, nowadays they spend that in a single bill. Its all so tiresome.
She knows...she just doesn't care
How ridiculously naive. You actually think this is tax payer money. Do some quick math. Divide the number of tax paying citizens into the debt. You think you can pay that back???? Wake up.
@@erniejazz4526 Who's going to foot the bill? Wake up.
Technically it's not taxpayer money because we don't have it . It's being borrowed at a hefty interest rate.
I really like this Senator now. He has become a more powerful mouthpiece than any conservative in the Senate. Wish we had more like him.
Senator Ted Cruz is also doing a fine job as well.
And this is how the politicians, their families and friends, get rich.
Exactly. Thats how a job that pays 100k makes millions
It's like that game of three-card Monte that Dave Chappelle's always talking about
Kickbacks from their criminal friends. Billions wasted. Now trillions. These are galactic numbers. What galaxy brain thought this crap up?
Too many cowards stand in the way of justice, and I'm not referring to RINO's, because they're the enemy. I'm referring to the majority in the GOP that are content and just as cavalier about the looting of the American Taxpayers as this Jezebel is.
I bet this women's family will be very wealthy in the next 4 years.
You have got to love Libertarians, they never let the government forget all their stupid spending habits.
Yeah deregulation is great and lets all suck the toes of monopolies!
@@TheKillerZees lolllll idiotic to figure that libertarians in power would aid monopolies more than democrats do. As dems raise and raise corporate taxes, Amazon and other monopolies reap the benefit as their competition begins to drown in the taxes
@@TheKillerZees monopolies are largely created through government subsidy and regulations eliminating small businesses which compete with the prospective monopolies.... nice try
We need more people like Rand Paul -get rid of the RINOS.
Electing people like Rand Paul would be getting rid of the rhinos, the more Rands, the more our country can get to a balanced budget again.
@Randy Hartman - sorry you have mistaken me for someone that cares for your opinion. I dont at all value your opinon. Now go fetch your shoeshine box.
@Randy Hartman Randy? Is that a girls or trans name? Sounds gay
The Interaction on the house of representatives was a wonderful thing it's a shame many of you MF's didn't get hurt we can't get a stimulus but Nancy can get a tunnel of love and icecream I hope the American people open their eyes and realize it's time for all of y'all to go just 1 year of no tax money from we the people would destroy you all
Rand Paul is a massive hypocrite no thanks. He has voted for a number of massive deficit increasing Bill's and bills that had tons of these types of earmarks in them. You can see this on Congress.gov if you don't believe me. Look at the text I'd the bill's he voted for.
Spending money that doesn't belong to you is called ... theft.
You spelled tax wrong 😅
Put those thieves in prison. Enough of this bullshit, I work hard for my money. It sucks because pelosi and all of the dirty politicians don’t hide their corruption with taxpayers dollars
New to America, huh?
No, it's called socialism.
@@Ace-ns9co damn right! It’s time we reject the out of control government spending that has been plaguing us for the past years
Like him like his father
Common sense love it challenging issues most don’t discuss
Ron Paul, probably the greatest member of Congress in a century or more, actually didn't agree completely with Rand on this one.
But Rand is correct.
Rand fell a bit too far from the tree
@@KAZVorpal whats not to agree with completely on this?
You were going to get another tax break if trump had won.its ever time you loose.looks like you would go back to being a doctor if you are any better at that.
He is crazy,if a bridge needs fixing, it dosent matter where the bridge is located
I just love Rand Paul! He really likes to rub the noses of the corrupt despots in their own shit!! Thank you Rand. Wish there were more like him.
I like him too. He is tough.
" The longer your here, the more stuff you get " Another good reason for term limits in Congress
like all the swamp GOP caught spending tax payer money,,both parties are full of it.
Except Rand Paul!
congress is limited to the term they are elected for; 2 years for house members and 6 years for senators. if you are not happy with your representation then do something about it.
Just call it what it is...embezzlement
That's Right,with our tax dollars!!!
But the ufos.. a Senator's family member may need that "investigation" contract so he can buy a few more yachts. Nothing like laying on the deck of a yacht with a nice scotch at night, to "investigate" those ufos while the government pays millions..
That is darn heck truth of the matter for years now.
Not to disagree but embezzlement is illegal, the government makes it legal for themselves to steal our money.
First they stole the election..now they can get away with what ever they want
All that money and they couldn't even buy a copy of Powerpoint.
They should put that in an earmark...
Cute but constantly moving, setting up, plugging, unplugging and adjusting a screen, laptop, and projector would be more difficult.
Yeah, that was a joke. Probably more of a security issue than anything else.
@@presmasterflash7555 An easy 2 million for powerpoint

2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.

The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
- „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

It’s no wonder why the American people have such high contempt for congress!
Hence we all need to pay attention to what decisions are being made and ck the states where these pet projects reside.
Make sure you read the information as this stuff is published. Or, if you rely on the ‘media’ version...listen to multiple sources with various opinions and political leanings. Then go from there.
They take the money because they have contempt for you.
Rand Paul is highly skilled at siphoning our tax dollars into his home state, ffs!
Between Paul and McConman, KY *gets back over $2.41 for every dollar* their state’s taxpayers send to D.C. CT, MA, NY and NJ *get back LESS THAN 80 cents* for each fed tax dollar they pay to D.C.

Anyone have ANY questions why EVERY single family member and close friend of almost every politician is extremely wealthy.
It’s disturbing
We DON'T need the elite, wealthy to "govern" us! We need some small businessmen, farmers, etc...who HAD to balance books, or go out of business! THAT was what we were supposed to do, instead we have mostly attorneys, and independent wealthy people who plan to get even richer!
Yeah all that pork in the last 2 soon to be 3 stimulus money cartels getting paid so good they dropping off the kitties at the border oh where oh where are they going to put all them kitties they got a little Island to store them they are going to do evil things to them let's pray to jesus and I know jesus won't let them remember any of it in his hands thank you Jesus and thank you God in his name let them babies dance in the furnace of fire and see you with them dancing with you
You starting to see why education is so bad in this country? Low information voters are helping collapse the country
Because even if the poor guy or girl is smart as a whip.. They dont have the cash to reach the desired audience thats required to reach office mostly. It is possible to do it cuzz of social networking but most likly they will get drastically shutout by the elite.
“The longer you’re here, the more stuff you get”. We 🇺🇸 want TERM LIMITS!
Politics: the art of answering questions without answering the question.
Also not answering the question you were asked - but answering the question you wish you were asked.
They deserve severe punishment for their cavalier attitudes about what they do with OUR money.
And this point STILL stands: our Forefathers would have been crying out for justice and the Founding Fathers would have declared war as the judgment.
She answered - she said I am a staffer and her job is to implement - it's Rand Paul and all of his cronies (both Democrats and Republicans) who put in the earmarks. Did you watch a different video?

E.G, in my opinion, the problem for the most part, is that the American voters do not
educate themselves on what their representatives are doing or not doing. Most people
don’t even vote. So when someone makes enough noise, they elect someone like Trump.
and we get a want-to-be dictator wanting to destroy our democracy in whose defense so
many have died. Our reps don’t work a full day, take frequent breaks, make sure their donors
are happy and forget about the rest of the constituents they are supposed to represent.
Their biggest concern is to be re-elected because they make good money, paid benefits,
retirement benefits, short work year, paid trips, free invitations, etc. they are VIPs where ever
they go.
We need to make it our job to be smart consumers of information, educate ourselves on which
representative is doing their job and who is not. And vote out the ones that are crooks and
lazy. Make them accountable to their constituents. Limit their terms so they look for another job
when they are done representing their constituents and don’t make it a political career that only
involves constantly running for office. Hold their feet to the fire. Don’t allow them to get away
with sexual abuse, cheating, breaking the law, using their power to get away with things most of
us would be jailed for. Make them tell the truth and call them out when they lie. Hold them
accountable. Going to CPAC, for example, is not an excuse for not going to vote on a very
important issue for which they are paid to vote . If we went on vacation instead of showing up at work,
most of us would be fired. They should too. Hold them accountable and educated ourselves
on the issues so the wool isn’t always pulled over most of the public’s eyes.
You're just finding out now ??? 😂😂😂
I'm just going to say how hilarious it was when one of the pictures fell lol.
Thank senator Paul for being a true friend and servant of Kentucky. I have known you for many years and you know my wife and I as well. I have never witnessed you turning against America or the bluegrass. It’s always a vote we know we won’t regret. Well done senator.

The estimated cost of the change over 10 years is $170 billion, $17 billion in loans for “businesses critical to maintaining national security,” a provision seemingly targeted solely at Boeing.
$25 billion in grants and $25 billion in loans for the airline industry.
A series of regulatory changes sought by the banking industry.
A tweak to the tax code, retroactive to 2018, allowing certain retailers to more quickly write off expenses they incurred upgrading their properties.
A series of other tax changes that in many cases take concessions business made in exchange for lower tax rates in Trump’s 2017 tax cut and eliminate them for a period of years. As one budget expert said to me, “corporations and pass-through owners are having their cake from [the 2017 tax cut] and eating it too.”
A gift to for-profit colleges: They’ll be able to keep loan money for students who drop out due to the coronavirus.
Help for manufacturers of “innovative” sunscreen technology.
A six-month extension of funding for abstinence-only education.
An expansion of the services that health savings accounts, which mostly benefit wealthier people, can pay for.
A provision allowing many hotel chains to access the $350 billion in loans intended for small businesses if their individual hotels employ fewer than 500 workers each. Unlike the loans in the fund intended for large businesses, many of these loans will not have to be repaid if the money is used mostly to keep workers on the payroll. This could allow large firms with the ability to successfully navigate the program to scoop up a significant portion of this fund, potentially pushing aside actual small businesses.
Another reason to pay attention to politics, most people don't even now this exists, including myself before watching this.
That picture of the house falling, that's something you don't see very often. 😂
Is it a foreshadowing of things to come?

He made a lot of sense mostly time Congress doesn't like the truth.

One of the very few public servants who seems to ALWAYS be pushing for the best and most common sense ways to serve this country. Always consistent... An admirable man in a sea of bad actors. Thank you Senator Paul. 🙌🏼🇺🇸🙌🏼
Bagels, tunnel, Woodstock museum, rain forest, cowgirl museum, teapot museum ! Really? 🤣🤣🤣 thank you, Rand Paul!! Thank you!!
Love Senator Paul. As an ophthalmologist he sees through a lot of the Senate’s garbage!
Do you love Mitt Romney, too? He endorsed Mitt over his own father in the 2012 election ... THAT is who YOU love.
Rand Paul? Biggest asshole next to ron johnson in the senate. Btw- the bart project in san Francisco is necessary to keep the city congestion under control. Also the system in san Francisco is not in pelosi 's district. Yet again he lies. And where was his outrage when he voted and supported HUGE tax breaks for the richest one percent which exploded the debt? He is a fool
He certainly has his fans!
This is not a Covid relief bill...
It’s a bill to refill the pockets of democrat neglect cities
Parrot
certainly cool a person aside from myself comprehends what's up
Uh, no. KY’s 2 senators Rand Paul and McConman *bring over $2.41 back to KY* for each $1 their constituents pay to D.C. in Fed taxes. Some Blue states like NJ, MA, CT and NY receive *less than 80 cents back* for every $1 in Federal taxes paid to D.C. That’s Blue subsidizing the hillbillies in some Red states, my friends. Look it up!
@@chasbodaniels1744 you should be against subsidies then..
"This" isn't a bill at all; it's a confirmation hearing....
They are out of control
No one asked me if I wanted my tax contributions spent on these ridiculous items.
Notice she said "federal dollars," not "taxpayer dollars."
No difference.
@@carrieporter3401 taxpayer dollars sound more concerning and emotionally impactful to the public than federal I would say.
@@burninglamp3968 no vote for her
Probably gor the golden ticket to nominee position for getting A+ in partakeing in treasonous fraud election hand off
"Taxpayer dollars" can be both federal and state. She's federal.
Rand Paul makes too much sense. He hasn’t changed his philosophy at all. He makes a point but keeps his head.
I agree, we need more like him.
He is amazing!
indeed. 110% correct
Paul is a shifty salesweasel who knows how to play to the barely-informed base. He and McConman haul multi millions of federal tax revenue back to subsidize their KY hillbilly constituents ffs! Paul’s that guy who bashes others for doing the same crap he himself thrives on.
@@chasbodaniels1744 Do you have an example of that claim? I'd be happy to listen and look it up if you do. Specifically regarding Paul though. Agreed that McConnell is as shifty as they come.
Shalanda waves the Constitution around when posturing & serving her (party’s) interests, spoken as a true swamp creature

@@ItsMEE-bz9fp I think she saying that he deserved that beat down lol
The non-fluent English speaking troll farm has been let loose on my post and it’s pure entertainment 😆
@@ItsMEE-bz9fp To clarify the first comment "No he doesn't, he spews lies and is an asshole. His neighbor gave him a beating 3yrs ago. The neighbor is justified in beating a bad senator like Rand paul. And if the senator was a good representative, the neighbor would've never beat him."
"Congress's job is to spend money"... The problem is IT'S OUR MONEY NOT THEIRS. They're delusional at best.
They already spent our money. Even the money we haven't made yet. They are spending your great great great great grandkids.
No one said it was theirs... They were voted into office by the people who have, freely given them their money to appropriate, and they are doing their constitutional duty, why are you mad?
Their duty is to uphold the constitution and protect our freedoms.
Spending the money is only to bless the people making sure they can defend themselves and have the freedom to earn a living. Instead of pandering to the rich to make them richer.
@@pinsneedles1743 so you are for higher corporate taxes? Eliminating subsides for billionaire companies? While providing resources for Americans? And protecting us from future issues.
Stop paying taxes!!
Thank you for bringing this to light!People NEED,and have the RIGHT to know!!!
Thank you Sen. Paul
Fix our country First😥
Fix OUR BORDER WALL N MOVE OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST
Warrior!!
GOD BLESS YOU SENATOR RAND PAUL👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻
The ufo one was the most sensible one. Lol
Sick what they do. No more lobbyist. Term limits. They get paid way to much. And to many perks.
It should be a law that any politician, law maker, close friend, family or associate of a politician, if found receiving money through bills, pork, earmarks, back door deals etc., go straight to jail for a minimum of 20 years...
Government employees should get on that road to no-where & stay-there.
I love your comment lol
Why would someone wants to be responsible with other's money when that money comes in annually regardless.
Spend, spend, and spend. Let the private sector figure out how to make the money.
Haha. Yes Ma’am
😂
Iol I think theu are on the road to no where
What’s up with the boards the guy in the back putting up the little cardboard signs? 🤣🤣🤣
The tropical rainforest actually looks really cool... I would love to visit that!
"Lot of words... no answers" should be the Democrat slogan
@anti theist Wow did you think of that yourself? Or did you get it from the 4 years of nonstop "orange man bad" all over tv?
Nothing is so sweet as the fact that he lives in your mind 24/7. All you can do is alter documents, they change hearts and minds. Dead people and parking lots don't win fights...
@anti theist man you guys obsess over Trump. Even when a topic comes up that has nothing to do with him comes up your response is "but orange man bad!" Lmao. You have no argument to counter this video or prove him wrong, the best you can muster up is a Trump diss....smh. Biden shuts down the Keystone pipeline and now gas prices are rising "but orange man bad!" Families are struggling and Biden promised them money in week , its week 5 and not even close an agreement between. "Bu but but orange man!" Bidens policies have cost billions of dollars in wages in the first month. "ORANGE MAN BAD!" I bet you would love nothing more than to slurp the juice his orange straw. Trump being bad does not negate the fact that the Democrats are doing horrible things right now. Youre still focused on someone who isn't even in office. Let's stay on subject.
@Randy Hartman how is fat boy?
But at least you will have the peace of mind there are programs to investigate ufos. And only for 20 million or so.. and a Senator's family member may have gotten a new yacht or two. Think if while drunk having a wild party they capture some pictures of lights in the sky.. wouldn't that make it all worthwhile? Besides; they are also testing bagels for you .. and there was even a program stuffed in the last stimulus bill allocating more money to study lizards running on treadmills.. you just never know what sort of innovations that could lead too.
This is why people want to be politicians! To line their pockets with NO accountability!
There is zero oversight for these Covid stimulus packages....1.9 trillion dollars for Democrats to spend! Pelosi is in heaven
@@mudderjen That is why Covid won’t end until we are living in the Soviet Union

Damn!!
Lovin' Rand.. and I can't believe taxpayers' money went to these ridiculously stupid programs. Bagels?! Really?!
Makes me hungry
But the ufos.. a Senator's family member may need that "investigation" contract so he can buy a few more yachts. Nothing like laying on the deck of a yacht with a nice scotch at night, to "investigate" those ufos while the government pays millions..
Rand Paul is a massive hypocrite no thanks. He has voted for a number of massive deficit increasing Bill's and bills that had tons of these types of earmarks in them. You can see this on Congress.gov if you don't believe me. Look at the text I'd the bill's he voted for.
Come on man, ya gotta have some thing to eat with all the tea sold in the teapot museum!
This makes me quite sure alot of pork is passed in the dark.
Rand Paul is a good common Sense man, we would have a great country with more as him and Trump a few other great one like judge Clearance Thomas, we need leaders not crooks or gutless sheep

@Randy Hartman Trump lost the election because he was not counting on the swing vote of the dead and the dems schizo personalities turning out in record numbers.. dems even filling out 10s of thousands of extra ballots and signing for their imaginary friends. over 10 thousand ballots in Michigan had no addresses at all and the secretary of state there illegally gave an executive order to count them outside of the legislature.
@Randy Hartman Trump should be president.. biden lost.. the dems cheated. Trump had a lot of faults and a bigmouth but at least he was not a lapdog for the CCP and he put American interests before communist interests. Rand Paul is a libertarian .. he was not a huge fan of Trump.. but sure he is going to support Trump over communists.
Josh Hawley from Missouri is another that needs to be kept, in my opinion. The rest should be replaced by assholes like me and you who grew up with a rough, tuff, take no shit attitude, that's what it will take to fix this Republic. Not a bunch of boot lickers.
Randy Hartman no facts, only your opinion. You sound emotional.
Wow! Eye opener to these facts.
Thank you for telling it how it is
There so corrupt. Sickening. Get rid of them now.
Thank you, Senator Paul. I appreciate you.
"...It's congresses job to spend dollars"

@@mo-215 I know this is so insane! Citizens of the United States should be outraged.. in the last bill they gave billions of dollars the counter amberjack fish in Mexico smh.
It’s a bagel shop on Michigan av. I helped remodel the place when Detroit started to come into its building boom. Just don’t know how he got a senator to put his bagel store in a bill to be passed. Well I think he sold the bagel shop and is probably a millionaire now.
