Is trying to make a comeback. But is it a bluff because he just trying to get attention will ask one of his former closest aides who will be here this hour plus a friday. Feel good from my hometown philly. See how the power of popcorn is giving one group but sense of pride and independence and leading this hour, President Biden on the road taking his state of the Union Address on tour for stop bat around pennsylvania and were standing by for him to speak any moment now, after last nights supercharged rather political speech, lets get right to cnns mj lee whos in wallingford, pennsylvania, one in 08 six as i recall, were President Biden is about to speak and mj President Bidens speech is to set to kick off a monthlong tour, continuing his State Of The Union message, what exactly is the white house planning . Yeah, jake, we should be seeing President Biden take the stage behind me any minute now, here in the suburbs of philadelphia to really kick off his post State Of The Union tour. And we are about to see just a flurry of travel from the president. Tomorrow. He had said lana, georgia, and then next week well see him traveling to do hampshire on monday and then on wednesday and thursday, wisconsin and michigan, of course two of some of the most important Battleground States heading into november. And what the campaign is saying is that between in the president and Vice President kamala harris, they plan on the two of them hitting up every Battleground State in the coming weeks. Now, of course, all of this is about amplifying the message but we heard from President Biden last night in his State Of The Union remarks and just a few minutes ago, we heard the president telling reporters on the tarmac about the idea of debate hitting his gop. Gop opposition candidate donald trump, and also whether he tuned into the republican rebuttal to his remarks last night. Take a listen. Will you commit to a debate with former President Trump . Depends on its behavior i just saw a little bit on television and were going to see the Campaign Bulking Up as well in the Month Of March Parts of the Campaign Says that theyre going to open some hundred new offices and make some 350 new hires. And thats also an addition to a new ad campaign that going to be launching to the tune of some 30 over some six weeks. So these ads, as you can imagine, are going to be focused on the president s policies and also country can you going to draw that contrast between himself and donald trump . This of course, coming the day after we heard the president in booking his predecessor, no less than 13 times in his state of the Union Address, jake. All right. Mj lee, thanks so much with us now, democratic congressman Gregory Meeks from new york. Hes the Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs committee, congressman good to see you. So President Biden getting a lot of praise from democrats for his performance is delivery what do you say to those who say, you know, it was a very political speech. She invoked his opponent, donald trump, 13 times. Not appropriate for a state of the Union Address i think that they could not refute the fact of what he said. And so they say is not appropriate because what the president did was talk about what he had accomplished in the three years where we started from. Why in fact, we had the we had the greatest pandemic that the world everything that caused the academy to take not only in the United States around the world. And he talked about how we got out of that. And that now we have recovered and we are we have the best economy in almost any economy in the world so he talked about the fact, let me talk about what he wanted to do in the future, you know, and what what we need to do. And he talked about the bill that are on the table that he wanted the congress to pass because it will make it better for all americans, like the bipartisan Border Agreement that the republican or blocker like moving forward with support for ukraine like making sure that we have humanitarian aid to go into the bills. So it was about the State Of The Union where we were where we moved where we are now, and where were going in the future not exactly, but they could not refuse any of it. So you say, oh, it was political yeah. Let me let me let me ask you because he just mentioned aid to ukraine. Weve been told that there are still efforts being made in the House Of Representatives to get aid for israel, ukraine, and taiwan through the house. What can you tell us about that . But were work at hot the easiest way to do it is all the speaker has to do is to put the bill on the floor. If you put the bill On The Floor Let Congress do its will we will get over 300 votes for it. Instead of allowing a few of the maga, republicans and the speaker who are clearly does not want to do anything other than what the former president wants hold it out. So that it quickest way to get it done. And we need to do it because time is running out yet, but thats thats not going to happen. Just put it on the floor. Hes not going to just put it on the floor so what do you guys are making . I would hope i would hope because weve got as democrats, we had everything, all options open. So were talking to and ive been talking to some of my republican counterparts who many of them, when we were in munich said to president zelenskyy, were going to get this done so if the opsin is a motion to discharge or something of that nature, if this stuff since the republicans are blocking me from come on the floor, then basic work with us. So we have this dialogue and conversation to try to find out as, you know, what will it take . For those folks in the Republican Party that believes that its the right thing to do. What will it take for us to get a bill on the floor so that we can vote for it. What it clearly were very outside. The problem is down and we are talking to them. So what does it take . I want to ask you about this moment last night, relevant to your work on the House Foreign Affairs committee and invited guest of congress, i think i think congressman mike waltz, a guy named steve nicu, stood up in the gallery, started yelling and President Biden nicu, son is, you know, he was a us marine, killed during the 2000 in 21 Kabul Airport Suicide Bombing at abbey gate. Lets take a watch America Safer today than when i took office year before i took off his Murder Ration up 30 30 they went up the biggest increase in history it was then through no so it was difficult at the time to hear out here what hes saying, but just just to explain, he was yelling abbey and United States marine. Obviously a lot of these goldstar families are upset with the withdrawal, how it happened they think there was a coverup. They think the administration hasnt been sensitive enough to what happened. What did you make of it all were number one, you know, my heart goes out to every gold star family. There was and the lost that they had. No, but i will tell you that we have the Oversight Committee midi responsibility oversight responsibility on our committee. And the State Department has been working with us at every state of the game. And i think that they put out the after Action Review Process of which talked about and where we had individuals as to what took place and what did not take place, what we needed to do to approve to improve in the future. But i also think that because what is happening on our committee is people are not looking at in order to make the determination is what took place, the cause of the lead up to it example i think that we should look at the entire 20 years because theres something that connects to it. But especially when they the former administration along with them. Secretary of state pompeo, decided that they were going to undercut the Afghan Government and and elevate those individuals in and cause the government of afghan to depart now, were looking at it yeah. And we have the committee has received more than 100 hours of testimony from multiple and current and former officials and the State Department has also provided over 11,000 pages of documents to the committee and for its part, i would just tell you and looking at this, the State Department has facility the appearance of every requested witness and the afghanistan investigation. Right. Were doing all of those things, but nothing has changed the facts from what the aar has stated. But it just seems to me as the Republican Leadership as doing im going every committee is just trying to do investigations where theres nothing found that contradicts, for example, what the aar or the afteraction review has indicated, right. But you work pretty well with the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee or the ranking democrat. The chairman, the ranking republican, Michael Mccaul has been threatening to hold Secretary Of State Antony Blinken in Contempt Of Congress for failing to turn over documents related to the withdrawal from afghanistan now, mccall says, it seems to be walking it back. He said blinken has agreed to start handing over documents have you been happy with the cooperation by the State Department . It are they finally doing what needs to be done for the purposes of oversight is that finally, theyve been doing it ive just said every we received over 100 hours of testimony okay. From multiple and current and former officials. We the State Department has also provided over 11,000 pages of documents to the committee and the documents of which let my dear friend and chairman of the Committee Just asked for i had a chance to yell to stop, to look into review. And you can tell that to me. What it substantiates is that the after action review, which was put in place so that people under being anonymous could give their actual and not as feelings and thoughts where you see some talking about some of the positive aspects of it, some talking about the force of it. And what needs to be done to help in the future that those documents you can see was taken into consideration when the after action and review was put together . So i see theres nothing more or anything that ive seen thus far that is trying to hide anything. Was was it absolutely perfect. Well, no, the entire 20 years in afghanistan was not perfect but what we were looking at is how do we can make sure what we can learn from it . Just as we did 911 so that we could be better prepared in the future, but not trying to just do what had been doing and other committees where you see, for example, may orcas impeach him, try to impeach the president , tried to bring down the State Department. Thats just not what we should be doing here. Democratic congressman Gregory Meeks of new york, good to see you, sir. Thanks for joining us really appreciate it.

Com mesothelial mom. Its all we do with local offices throughout the country, but us, how you get the compensation, you deserve 800 to eight to 44, 44 in our Law And Justice lead, it is time to pay up donald trump to massive legal judgments are coming due and the former president is taking action today. And at least one of them, cnns Kara Scannell is live in new york. Kara, lets start with the E Jean Carroll Defamation Case today, trump appealed both the judgment while still putting up tens of millions of dollars. Tell us about it. Yeah. Trump posted a bond of 91. 6 million. That is so he could appeal the E Jean Carroll Defamation Judgment at 3. 3 million. The difference there is to cover interests. The big question had been would trump be able to get this bond posted in time that deadline was right around the corner. And now we learned that he did the. Company that underwrote the bond is this large Global Insurance company, chubb, its a wellknown company, not there were questions of would he have to get money from other folks or whether it be able to get someone to back it up. So now we know that its chubb. We also know that donald trump signed this bond on tuesday. This was the same time you can see his signature her right there. This was the same time that he was still asking the judge in this case for more time. So the judge is now asking carrolls team if they have any objections to this man or if theyre okay with it as they know it and to get back to them by monday morning, if there is a disagreement, he wants all the parties back in court monday afternoon. Jake. Right. And on the screen right now you see Froms Cash Crunch deadlines for legal penalties monday at 3. 3 million for E Jean Carroll, then march 25th, it says 454 million for the new york civil fraud trial. So thats coming due and just a few weeks care. Yeah. He really only has about two weeks to get that money together. And that is the bigger i mean, its such a big amount of money. It is a bigger question of will he be able to get someone to write a ban for it because to get a bond, he needs to be able to give them assets to secure it, whether its cash Securities Investment bonds, or some property. And so the week question there is, how is that sorted out . Now, trump had proposed putting up 100 and then appeal the case. Appellate court judge struck that down. But in Pellet Court Panel is hearing this, they will ultimately decide if hes going to get an extension to not have to post this ban while the appeal is playing out, they are expected to make a decision later this month that will coincide with the timing that this is due. And also the start of Donald Trumps criminal trial in new york related to those hush money payments all right. Kara scannell in new york. Thanks so much. Lets bring in russ buettner, easy Investigative Reporter for the New York Times has covered trumps finances extensively. Ross. So the nearly 92 bond and trump posted today was underwritten by the Insurance Company chubb in order to get that bond, trump has to put up assets to show that the insurer that hes good for the money, what might those assets . Well, he has a certain amount of cash, jake, we never really know how much there is. As recently as a year or so ago, he it looks like he probably had 300 to 350 million in cash from selling a couple of assets and a refinance at someone else did have an investment. He had a piece of. But one thing weve learned about looking at Donald Trumps businesses is generally they eat cash. So if you had that much, then we would expect he didnt. Now. And then this on today locks up even more of his money, right . That boxes off some portion of money that you committed to that. So i think its likely that most of the cash that he has, if he has any left its going to have to go to sort of guaranteeing these two bonds meeting the needs of whatever insurer might want on the larger bond and possibly signing over some assets that are already sort of really encumbered by mortgages. So youve written in depth on trumps Cash Position in the past that the way he does business tends to burn through cash very quickly. Does he have solid sources of cash . These days ways that money is coming in to his coffers well, its a great question. The last time we had a perfect window on his finances was a couple of years ago. And what we saw is that when he was on The Apprentice, he had an incredible amount of money from being on the show and also from licensing an Endorsement Agreements that came along with that in 2011 for example, we made 51 Million Dollars just in that year from those things. Thats a lot of money. But the businesses that he ran, his golf courses in his hotels tend to require him to infuse cash on a regular basis. So as The Apprentice money dipped, the Licensing Money Dip down to almost zero by the time he entered the white house, those businesses were starting to eat up more and more of his cash the Attorney General found there was one year where he would have been like literally out of cash except for the Beneficial Interest rates have gone on. Some of these loans that were subject to this fraud case. So it does raise always questions about whether he has access to it. I think one thing is certain. He does not have access to the 500 plus million he would need or the bond in this larger case, he cant just produce that much money and keep operating as a business. And thats what they said in that filing last week where they said we could maybe get a bond for 100 and they asked the court to consider that. I think its really clear that larger judgment is not within his reach. Yeah. Part of that judgment that new york civil Fraud Judgment barred the Trump Organization from doing business in new york, except in order to secure loans to pay the fines in the case. Now, the band is on hold on. The ban on doing business in new york while trump appeals that judgment. But if that appeal fails, what happens to the Trump Organization . Well, i think first hes got to get to the bond so he can have the appeal play its way out and buy some more time that could be an existential threat to him but if he has to ultimately just pay this judgment, he would exhaust more than all the cash that has i think thats very clear. He would have to sell something. Theyve got a chord Court Appointed monitor thats in place there who would oversee what he could sell. And theres really just a few pieces of his enterprise that are left that helps support the other ones. And if the monitor or the court decided those were the ones that had to go in order to meet the terms of the judgment that again, would be another existential threat. To the Trump Organization is an ongoing concern. All right. Recipe at nerve, the New York Times, always good to have you on. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Thank you, jake.

Ahh direct redefining insurance im Jeremy Diamond in tel aviv, and this is cnn in our Law And Justice lead a disturbing murder case that in new york city in a rather drastic turn of events, a former inmate working as a counselor with atrisk youth is now facing murder charges. Hes accused of killing a man and cutting up his body. Sheldon johnson got out of Prison Last May after serving 25 years for attempted murder. Cnns Polo Sandoval is following this gruesome story, polo, what more do we know about these accusations against johnson . So jake Shelton Johnson junior has been really a public voice for rehabilitation after incarceration but today, as you point out, he now stands accused of shooting and killing a bronx man who was later found dismembered. And i have to warn you and our viewers to details according to investigators they really are disturbing according to police 44 yearold colin smalls torso and his feet were discovered in his apartment. Thats per a police report, was sources telling our colleague, mark morales that smallest head with a Gunshot Wound and arm and legs were also later discovered in johnsons freezer now, according to police, johnson has seen on Surveillance Video entering and exiting Smalls Apartment on tuesday, which is when investigators believed that the murder took place. And at times, if you look closely, you even can i can tell that he appears to be wearing disguises before johnson was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and concealment of a corpse. He was publicly and claiming that he essentially turned his life around after spending nearly half of his Life In Prison For Homicide and robbery. Fact, after being released just this past, may, he gained a reputation for being an advocate for criminal Justice Reform recently he even appeared on joe rogans podcast and on it, he described himself as a former criminal and gang leader. And the product of intergenerational incarceration. But now he said he was on this socalled Journey Towards redemption. Urine, his ged while in prison even went through conflict resolution training. Want you to hear more of what johnson said on that Podcast Appearance about his socalled Path Towards Rehabilitation and as you listen, keep in mind that hes now accused in an absolutely gruesome killing ive been doing bad for so long. Im going to try to do something good if all else fails, i could always go back to doing back. But let me try let me give it a shot that appearance only from about a month ago, cnn has reached out to johnsons legal representatives for comment. We should mention though that while being escorted out of a local precinct by Police Officers yesterday, johnson did maintain his innocence since he pleaded not guilty to all of the counts that i mentioned, plus some additional ones. Hes also expected back in court on monday, by the way, police have not really elaborated what they think that the connection might be between johnson and small, the victim in this case so obviously this doesnt change the fact that rehabilitation is possible, but but how are all the people who who have been supporting his Rehabilitation Efforts . How are they reacting to this cnn had opportunity to speak to brian stanleys actually a, a Court Advocate that pushes for and incarceration alternatives. And he was very clear in saying that it is his hope that people do not lose sight of, or at least are able to distinguish between the alleged crimes took place here and the work that stanley said that johnson was trying to do for new york sheath. But again, he now stands accused of some extremely serious and gruesome crimes and is expected back in coordinate a couple of days, jake. All right. Polo sandoval. Thanks so much.

They theyre having an interview which i definitely need episodes next sunday at nine on cnn continuing our politics lead shortly after congress kicked former new york republican congressman George Santos out. He said, quote to hell with this place, youll recall, of course, santos racked up 23 federal fraud charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and lying to congress is trial is expected in september well, last night, just three short months later, the disgraced ex congressman dressed in a rind and crusted collar and silver choose made a Surprise Appearance on the floor of the House Of Representatives at the state of the Union Address. And it was not just to troll the president s speech, apparently, which of course he did. He posted on x, formerly known as twitter i just witnessed a weak, frail president delivers spin in lies to the American People from inside the chambers. I have made several personal sacrifices In The Name Of serving the American People, santos, also of course, is now attempting to launch some sort of comeback saying quote, i want to announce that i will be returning to the arena of politics and challenging nick for the battle over new york, one thats the new york first congressional district. I look forward to debating him on the issues and on his weak record as a republican, unquote joining us now is the for Communications Director for George Santos, naseh wilmer. Naseh was hired after he was elected. And then you resigned after his first indictment . That right . Yes, thats okay. So lets talk about this. You resigned as Comms Director after he was arrested and charged for fraud and other crimes, said you saying you you were honored to quit. Santos said he wouldnt seek reelection after that damning ethics report. Do you think this is where elysse really going to run for reelection or is he just trying to get attention . I feel like its a little bit of both. Theyve like its a little bit of its like veep when she says shes rebranded. So i dont know if hes doing something very similar here. This is a completely different part of long island which was once occupied by i lee zeldin. So i really dont know if hes able going hes going to be able to do the following things. Get the signatures that he will need to be on the ballot. And then also the primary is in june. So yes, its very short amount of time to get signatures, file and get some sort of fundraising dollars. It seems improbable that hell be able to mount any sort of serious challenge to an incumbent republican nick lalota who is, as you note, the first congressional districts and comic congressman hes one of the new york republicans. The push to expel santos is this about revenge then maybe do you think because it doesnt sound like its a very serious candidacy. If its in june and hes challenging an incumbent, maybe he just wants to attack lalota. I think its a little bit of both. Once again, i dont know if its a little bit of a rabbet, a taylor swift have a wrench store or but its also for someone who literally had said that he to hell with this place. So im just a little surprised. I thought, you know, doing great with cameo so again, i but i will say this about congressman lalota. I would take this very seriously because once again, we could see something slipped through the cracks well, just like lets think back to 2014 with former majority leader eric cantor when he lost to dave brat out of the blue. So its just its one of those. Is it a joke . Yes. But also its an opportunity to to just once again prove that you can be George Santos, whether its kicking him out of congress or out of a primary. So republicans obviously lost the Special Election to fill santas to seat for the district that santos had, democrat tom suozzi is now the incumbent congressman whos now running for reelection for november in his announcement, santos said the fight for our majority is imperative for the survival of the country. So lets listen to some of the responses from new york republicans and others hes an embarrassment to here in congress. Thats one of the reasons that we led the charge to expel him. I think George Santos should focus if thats really his name, thats what he should focus. He should focus more on worrying about his personal issues and trying to come back here and make another spectacle out of this, one of this countrys oldest institutions its. A free nation and people can run whenever they want. But i think george is just not honest. I think his time has come and gone whats your personal reaction . Because obviously you know, you dedicated your life to him. Thankfully, he was only for six months, but you worked hard for him. Im sure. And im sure you hide your challenges what do you think is something wrong with him . And if so, what is it . I think its i want to say yes, im a little bit just because it sounds like someone who just he went from being a congressman to a celebrity. And i think just the Media Attention that came around him during his entire time in congress. It just i think it increased his ego and i after listening to members such as nick lalota, anthony desposito, i agree with them. I mean, its a joke and one of my biggest questions is do we need to go back . And i think congressman Ritchie Torres has already begun Filing Legislation that would revoke his floor probritish. Yeah, theres justice for those confused about why he was even allowed on the floor of the house last night. He has lifelong Floor Privileges despite being expelled. And as you know, Ritchie Torres, a different different congressman from new york. Hes a democrat. And this is thats according to punchbowl, quote is introducing a new rule, the george rule. George stands for getting expelled, officially revokes guaranteed entry rule. Thats pretty clever actually, that would revoke house Floor Privileges for expelled members of the House Of Representatives. You you think that thats a good rule . I think it is a good role. I mean, lets just remember to only i think this is the sixth member of congress who had been expelled. So the last history, the history. So the last one that was expelled was in 2002 and prior to that, i believe it was from the civil war when they were confess being driven to traitors to the confederacy.

And this is cnn in our sports lead, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles are part of a special partnership with a nonprofit business dedicated to improving the livelihoods of people with autism and other developmental disabilities. As cnns Danny Freeman reports for us, it all started with making popcorn this is the story of a kernel of an idea that just popped. Did you ever expect that . Youd be making a whole business making popcorn . Oh, no, definitely not. I never thought this thing can come that true thirtythreeyearold sam beer is on the Autism Spectrum and for years, according to his dad, dr. Steven beer, sam had trouble finding a job that fit sam was working a job pushing Shopping Carts during the summer at a supermarket and he wasnt very happy, wasnt very fulfilling the beer family thought, why not . Create our own business . Thats seasonal is not a fad. Its not dangerous to make no knives sam, id like to make popcorn soon after popcorn for the people was born. A nonprofit selling the Tasty Snack Handmade by people with autism and developmental disabilities. I think this plays can help people give the tools they need to send to another business. Ill give the confidence, the optimism, the endurance. I think thats what it means theres very little data when it comes to employment and the neuroDiverse Community. But at 20 15 report from drexel universities Autism Institute found that four out of every ten young adults on the Autism Spectrum have never had a paying job. Thats a much lower rate than young adults with other disabilities. But popcorn for the people has 39 neurodiverse employees here in their modest new jersey workplace, may of people who work yeah. Never had a job before pop pop business grew, Selling Popcorn and College Football games on the jersey turnpike. And then word spread south our collective effort, jeffrey lurie, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, has a brother on the Autism Spectrum for years, the eagles have made Autism Research and care a core priority. Last season, they even set up a popcorn for the people stand. I mean, who loves pop . Pardon everyone, right . But eagles, autism foundations. Ryan hammond knows good paying jobs are crucial for this community. I think people think its hard, right . Or its going to cost them money or cost them time or cost them uncomfortable conversations. I think the reality is, is that the nor Diverse Community as so much to offer. So when she learned philly Area Convenience store wawa had an empty shop. They didnt know what to do with without hesitation, i was like, i would open a popcorn factory. When did you realize oh man, this is a great idea. The second we heard it Davidson Manetti is the senior director of Store Operations for wawa. His stores already employed more than 500 neurodiverse people. Simonides daughter has down syndrome. Well, my daughters, only 12 but i liked the idea that shes going to have choices when she gets out of school and she will have things available to her that maybe didnt exist ten or 20 years ago because of the work that folks like popcorn or doing less than a year after the eagles wow, what came together to hatch this plan . A new popcorn for the people factory was born. This one on philadelphias famous south street, plans to make and sell tens of thousands more bags of popcorn and higher 25 more neurodiverse employees, like 23yearold jared, have you tasted the popcorn yeah. Sorry, the carmel it takes really good. Kylie kelce, known as the first lady of philadelphia and is married to retiring eagles star Center Jason Kelce is a passionate advocate for the Autism Community to see Something Like popcorn for the people who is encouraging those Employment Opportunities and allowing the audience so some community to find that independence, to find that pride in their own work and earn their own paycheck. Its such a joy to see the hope now is others will take this currently hello of an idea and create more popper today. Its literally a nonprofit version of the American Dream we wanted to create one job for myself did that, and then another job, another job in another job, its amazing what slave of popcorners, jake tapper like. Thats the question ill ask him. We send back all right, jake. So your options are butter chicago cheddar, kettle corn, and also french toast. But dr. Beer and sam, they thought youd like Dark Chocolate espresso, long state of the coverage night. That sound that sounds great. No, i liked that Dark Chocolate.

And folks, you know why it happened ill tell you why one reason donald trump he came to office determined to overturn roe v. Wade. In fact, hes bragged about it repeatedly, that hes the reason it got overturned. He got his wish and states are passing bans criminalizing doctors, forcing ripen incest victims.

Andres is history we have inherited their economy was on the brink, excuse me now our economies, the envy of the world, 15 million new jobs just three years and thats a record in American History unemployment in a 50 year low 100,000 new Manufacturing Jobs and county i said when i started, wheres it written . We cant be the Manufacturing Capital the world again, wages are up and inflation is coming down inflation has dropped from 9 to 3 okay . So much progress. So now lets talk about the future. We can bill, because we have more to do look the future. What are the days of trickledown economics are over . And the wealthy is the biggest corporations begin to pay their fair share. God love him for example americans pay more as a pharmacist can tell us a gotkine, tell us for Prescription Drugs than anywhere else in the world. Its wrong. Ive been fighting the Pharmaceutical Industry since i was in the senate over 30 years guess what . Were ending it proposal and sin. No one, not one republican voted for, but we finally beat big pharma instead of paying 400 a month, for example, on insulin for seniors they all have to pay 35 bucks by the way only cost 10 to make theres still paying are still getting a big profit hello got not stopping there. Lets cap the cost of insulin 35 for every American Tunisia take finally beat big pharma. Now were giving medicare the power to negotiate for Prescription Drugs. Just like to be does for military this doesnt just save Seniors Money saving taxpayers billions of dollars, cutting the deficit. Now its time to give medicare the power to negotiate lower prices, even more drugs you know, its going to save the taxpayers and other 200 billion already saved 160 billion off your taxes because medicare doesnt have to pay that bill folks, starting next year the bill i got passed, were copying the total Prescription Drug costs for seniors on medicare at 2,000 year, even for expensive cancer drugs, it caused 10121415000 my, next year.
