[Music] welcome welcome welcome Last Week Tonight I'm John Oliver thank you so much for joining us and look obviously our thoughts are with the people of Texas following today's horrific incident details of which are still unfolding as I speak I am sure that there will be more to say about this in the hours and the days ahead but for now we are just going to dive straight into tonight with President Trump statues of whom will inevitably one day be erected and later taken down amid a storm of controversy now the news surrounding Trump this week was dominated by the bombshell that dropped on Monday huge developments unfolding in Washington this hour after special Council unveiled the first charges in his investigation into Russian interference in the American election yes it's finally happening the first charges in the ongoing Scandal that we've been calling stupid Watergate a story that like Watergate could well end up toppling democracy but only because one of these idiots slipped on a banana p yelled something stupid like uh oh spaghettio and accidentally knocked democracy over and it is worth looking at Monday's charges one at a time because they're absolutely incredible and let's start with Paul maniff uh former Trump campaign chairman and his business partner Rick Gates because the rap sheet against them is impressive the 31-page indictment charges that over at least 10 years the two men set up a scheme to hide tens of millions of dollars in income they received from a pro-russian Ukrainian political party prosecutors alleged the scheme involved hiding that foreign work funneling more than $75 million through unreported foreign bank accounts laundering tens of millions of dollars and lying to the IRS and to the justice department wow that is a lot of charges and Trump must be furious with them not so much for the part where they allegedly lied to the government but for where they pretended to have less money than they did because I'm pretty sure that that violates the tenants of whatever sticky back issue of dots magazine that Trump considers his code of ethics and and while they deny all charges the details here are damning because according to the prosecutors not all the money was squirreled away in Shell companies and overseas bank accounts some of it was used to go shopping according to the indictment Mani for used the money to quote enjoy a lavish lifestyle spending nearly a million dollars on antique rugs and more than 1.3 million on fancy clothes over $2 million on rugs and clothes now I can't speak to the quality of his rugs but how the is this guy spending that much on clothing he looks like he spent he bought all the suits that he was going to wear for the rest of his life on one day in 1982 with a cashier check for $900 and when journalists tried to find out where he got his clothes from and called a number of high-end boutiques they got either denials or no comments from Canali eia uh House of bean Zena and Bion which is a little surprising because what brand would not want as its public face a man who looks like an extra from a director DVD mobster movie who fell asleep in a tanning bed but but if I may quote the TSA agent assigned to inspect Mariah Care's carry-on let's set aside the $1.3 million in clothes for just a minute and let's ask the question that Trump asks himself every moment of every day how does Donald Trump fit into this well to hear him tell it he does the president revealed his thoughts in two tweets quote sorry but this is years ago before PA Mana for was part of the Trump campaign but why aren't crooked Hillary and the Dems the focus adding also there is no collusion writing that last but in all capital letters wow all capital letters I haven't seen such a forceful denial since every men's clothing store in two major American cities denied supplying manifold with a closet full of boxy off the rack jackets from the dad's open casket funeral collection and and if you think about Trump's defense here which he definitely hasn't it's actually pretty strange because he's essentially saying Mana had already done all this stuff at the time that I Donald Trump decided to hire him as my campaign manager which means one of two things either Trump did a background check discovered his suspicious activity and didn't care or he didn't so much as Google manif thoughts before hiring him because everybody knows that Mana for is dodgy he has represented the interests of strong men and dictators around the world including Ferdinand Marcos uh mabutu Victor yanukovich and Russian oligarch Oleg der pasca the last two of whom had close ties to Putin in fact it's since come to light that Mana for may have been in debt to pro-russian interests by as much as $17 million and the more we learn about him the shadier he gets prosecutors have noted that Mana for has three us p passports with different numbers and recently traveled abroad while using a phone and email registered under an alias okay so first of all who outside of Jason Bourne needs three separate passports and an alias besides of course the Olsen twin because she's got one for Mary Kate one for Ashley and one for Hillary Duff oh that's right there is also no Hillary Duff it's just one olon twin moving back back and forth very quickly and then changing her hair and face significantly and standing still in a different place I'm close I'm so close to blowing this whole charade apart now now Trump trump has argued that manif was just with a campaign for a very short period of time but he held top positions within it for five months during which time he not only organized the convention he also spoke on the campaign's behalf with decidedly mixed results so to be clear Mr Trump has no Financial relationships with any Russian oligarchs that that's what he said that's what I said that's obviously what the our position is well there is nothing inherently suspicious about that response at all except for the sweatiness The Stumbling and the fact you couldn't even hold eye contact with the camera also while maniford may have been gone before the election Gates his partner who prosecuted say had 5050 Five bank accounts he helped run the Inaugural Committee and has been a frequent visitor to the White House so again the question here is did Trump know all of this and not care or did he know none of it because he's incompetent in other words is Trump smart enough to be evil and before you answer that consider the genuinely surprising news from Monday the guilty plea from George Papadopoulos uh the former Trump campaign staff and real cool dude who who is now admitted to lying to the FBI he could be a real problem here because we now know not only did Papadopoulos have contact with the Russians during the campaign who apparently told him through an intermediary that they had dirt on Hillary Clinton but he mentioned his Russian contacts to the campaign who responded like this a trump campaign supervisor told Papadopoulos quote I would encourage you to pursue contact with Russians and that he had done great work you know it speaks to the sheer stupidity of the people involved here that so many of them often left written records of their potentially criminal actions it's like if during Watergate we had an email chain of Howard hunt saying about to break in and and Nixon replying noce but you know what this this would not be stupid Watergate without some truly idiotic details because one of papadopoulos's former professors described him as zealous and a bit simple which incidentally is also how you would describe a golden retriever in Isis and and some of his Russian sources turned out to be pretty unimpressive Papadopoulos was in London meeting with his Russian connections including a woman he thought was Vladimir Putin's niece but turns out was not that's right we are now living in an era where the top New York Times headline could conceivably have been shade mol got catfished by a fake Putin niece Trump is now also desperately trying to distance himself from Papa calling him a low-level volunteer which is a pretty weak defense because not only did Trump once call him an excellent guy they were photographed together in a national security meeting during the campaign that photograph interestingly was released earlier this week when the seal on grand jury testimony was I'm just kidding Trump posted it to his Instagram last March of course he did and while that photo looks pretty damning the White House this week insisted that it meant nothing sir uh how can you describe uh Mr papadopoulos's having a limited role when there's a there's a photograph of Mr papad sitting at a table with ID thousands of photographs with millions of people so now she she is not actually wrong there Trump has taken photos with many many people uh here's one of him with OJ Simpson uh here's one of trump and Harvey Weinstein here he is with grimace so think about that the president Has Smiled for photos with murderers sexual predators and in the case of Grimace both but but the point is none of them got to sit at the table with Trump and his campaign staff and when Trump was asked on Friday about what had happened in that meeting this was his response I don't remember much about that meeting it was a very unimportant meeting took place for a long time don't remember much about it oh you don't remember that that is convenient although it's slightly undercut by one of Trump's favorite boasts people know me for my memory it's called like up here and it's called memory and it's called other things I'm fortunate that I have a good memory I have a good memory I have like a good memory I have a very good memory I have a good memory like a great memory I have a great memory one of the great memories of all time yeah and there is there is just no way to reconcile those two positions although Trump has actually tried in the past because when he was asked during a deposition in 2015 about claiming that he had one of the world's great memories he said and I quote I don't remember saying that as good as my memory is I don't remember that but I have a good memory so so right now there are three people from the Trump campaign facing serious charges about their entanglements overseas and in all three cases Trump's push back has basically been I don't know anything about the people I should have known those things about and that is his signature move he's playing the trump card and what I mean by that is he's using his own incompetence as a defense is the same way that you might excuse the behavior of a dog or a small child if you found your dog pissing on a rug and then your your child urinating on the dog you would think yeah I'm annoyed but they're idiots who don't know what they're doing so they get to walk away from this one that is the trump card and the worrying thing here is is it may work for Trump because think about what the counterargument may have to be this is a meticulous man who made strategic decisions fully aware of the consequences of his actions that could be a tough case to make but we cannot accept the trump card as his defense here because if we do just think about what we would actually be saying there we'd be saying look this guy is too dumb to really understand what he's doing so I guess we have no choice but to let him keep being president please let's not do that and now this and now the inevitable sad consequences of morning shows celebrating Halloween Halloween has come to channel 6 hello I am the gro and you are my minions yes we are the minions I feel like I look like Hamburglar can we tell people I can be Hamburg Hamburg I'm Hamburg on a mission from God now we're on a mission from we a mission Mario it's the Mario nice this is Kate one of our interns hi Kate she is the Operation game I guess we're getting over to Alisa Henry I got to watch my corn stalks let me come through here Alisa oh my goodness how long did it take to to put like all this two seconds really fast yeah hey Wilma well you'll be Wilma later on in the show cuz we can't exactly have you reading the news you know in a costume it just doesn't work more developments in a Houston County truck bombing case coming [Music] up moving on our main story tonight concerns jobs literally the only reason that anyone gets up before 11:00 a.m. politicians care about jobs more than anything else as you can tell from how often they mention them these are the things I focus on jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs and jobs period jobs jobs jobs it's about jobs jobs jobs good paying jobs it's about jobs jobs jobs jobs and more jobs American jobs politicians seem to think that jobs are like Beetle Jukes if you just say the word a magic number of times eventually they'll just pop up out of nowhere now more specifically tonight I'd like to talk about one of the ways that politicians try to create jobs Economic Development incentives and I know that that doesn't sound interesting wait wait what do you doing you're putting me picture in picture is that Entourage the movie fine you know what switch over the audio listen to the first line you'll be back I may have to jerk it before we even get there oh oh how about that all of a sudden a show about Economic Development doesn't seem like the worst thing you could be watching does it so as I was saying e Economic Development incentives are essentially when state and local governments offer perks to companies to entice them to build or expand in their area here in New York there is a program called startup New York which launched with some pretty astounding tax breaks startup New York creates zero tax zones for new businesses for 10 years zero property tax zero corporate tax zero business tax and zero income tax wow zero property corporate business business and income tax and I believe that that sound you just heard was Donald Trump getting an erection wait for it don't worry wait for it wait for it's gone again see you next year little buddy and and look it's it's not just New York all 50 states offer some kind of incentives like tax breaks to attract companies and the argument is that they attract employers uh which attract jobs which lead to spending which creates more jobs and so on and so on and so on and many places have bought into this hard trying to outbid one another for businesses Indiana even once took out attack ads on other states like this billboard which read illinoid by higher taxes come to Indiana a state that works and that's pretty aggressive although it's actually much Tamer than their original billboard just arkans saw your tax bill i' don't hope you like our tax breaks cuz if you Colorado don't we Keta cut your balls off and and if a company big enough it can even start a bidding war itself that is actually happening right now with Amazon they are planning to build a second headquarters somewhere in North America and they are making governments bid for it uh they even released Eight Pages of instructions for candidates telling them to think big and be creative which led many cities to do stupid like this overnight the Big Apple looking more like an orange New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio lighting up the city in quote Amazon Orange the city of Bur Birmingham is using giant Amazon boxes to try to get Amazon's attention Stone Crest Georgia offering to create a new town of Amazon Georgia they would create a new town and name it Amazon you know to compete I'm that surprised that omahan Nebraska didn't offer to let Jeff Bezos kill any three people he likes cuz you know he would look at him he wants it so bad it's the only thing he can't have and he wants it and numerous Mays made direct appeals to Amazon with videos ending in versions of the same bad joke hey Alexa where should Amazon located hq2 hm in Frisco Texas Alexa where is the most interesting company in the world going to locate obviously Washington DC so Alexa where is the best place for Amazon to locate its second world headquarters Danbury Connecticut I told you so you know my one and only worry with all of those ads and I mean this sincerely is are they almost too hilarious but those stunts are just window dressing what Amazon cares much much more about as they mentioned in their instructions 21 times are incentives and while few places are revealing what they offered we do know that New Jersey reportedly offered $7 billion in tax breaks which is an insane amount that other places may now have to compete with and think about what that means that could mean billions of tax dollarss that would not be collected for things like roads or schools or hospitals and Amazon already has more money than it knows what to do with how else can you explain the existence of Goliath I show that and this is true literally nobody has ever seen nobody no human no animal nobody no but no one does it even exist if you make a show and no one watches it does it exist discuss and and that is the thing here we give companies a lot of money through these incentives by one estimate in 2015 they cost state and local governments $45 billion and that money can go to some questionable projects for instance a few years ago Kentucky took a big swing on this a full-size replica of Noah's Arc is drawing thousands of visitors to Williamstown Kentucky this is the ark encounter a chapter from Genesis told sold on a $100 million budget four floors of Noah his family and beasts Great and Small the project received $18 million in Kentucky tax incentives $18 million of tax breaks for a gigantic Ark Museum and I'm not saying that that is inherently a bad idea I do kind of want to see this thing especially as its website genuinely has a section devoted to the question what about all the manure the answer apparently is slatted floors or multiple level cages which is really not a good answer cuz you do not want to be the animal on the lowest level of that ship and while the ark clearly created some jobs there were some caveats to those positions critics complain of discrimination in hiring only Christians no gays or lesbians and single people have to sign a chastity pledge oh come on aside from the homophobia Chastity is a pretty weird rule to put in place for a museum that's pretty much a gigantic replica of a floating Zoo they they weren't brought in 2 by two so that everyone would have a swim buddy they were on that boat to F to fall but the justification for taking a gamble on a gigantic Arc was that it would be a boom to the whole area and to hear one local official tell it the economic impact has been underwhelming the ark's success has not had the ripple effect many hoped it would downtown Williamstown which was expecting increased car and foot traffic has almost as many empty storefronts as occupied storefronts what's it meant for downtown Williamstown nothing I don't sound negative in this interview but there's nothing here yeah and that kind of makes sense because once you've spent 3 hours walking around a wooden boat with sexually frustrated talk guides and haunted by the mental image of a miserable zebra neck deep in cuz apparently decks were assigned alphabetically yeah you're probably going to skip lunch in town and look a well-designed closely monitored program with clear goals might make sense to an area but too often the terms are extremely LAX some don't require that jobs be created at all and some require almost laughably few remember startup New York zero tax taxes for a decade oh I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry don't think about it I'm sure it will pass that program is hiring requirements that program's hiring requirements were that you create just one new job a year and the state recently considered scaling that back to one new job in the first five years and sometimes these incentives are given out even when they may not be necessary take a look at Fargo North Dakota you know what he's not wrong he's not wrong and I knew that would do the job Fargo gave a tax break to FedEx for moving a facility to their city but why did they really need to cuz just listen to what happened when one city council member asked that very question of a FedEx representative Mr Wilson if you don't get this exemption will you still move to Fargo yes we will okay yet 10 minutes later the council voted to give FedEx that exemption why also if someone wants to willingly move to Fargo you don't offer them tax in you simply offer them a full psychological workup that starts with the question who did you murder well we'll still let you live here but we do need to know and and then then there are programs narrowly set up to encourage a particular industry to grow which can sound great but may not lead to good permanent jobs take film and TV incentives at some point in the last couple of decades nearly every state decided that they wanted to be the next Hollywood and now 31 states have incentive programs for film or TV the problem with that is if you are one of them you have 30 other states competing with you hard and because film Productions are portable if you try and scale back your incentives they'll just go wherever a better deal is just listen to this movie producer who has taken advantage of multiple States incentives I would never make a movie where I didn't get an incentive and I don't ever intend to but at the end of the day if there's an incentive it's good for me and look he's not wrong I mean yes he looks like every woman's worst ex-boyfriend but he's he's not wrong it is not his job to worry about whether his incentives are good for states it is his job to I'm assuming refer to Sushi as sush because he definitely does that but but but it should be someone someone's job to worry about the effects of these programs and on some occasions when states have done that the news they got was not great for instance Louisiana found that for every dollar it spent on its film program it generated just 22 cents of tax revenue which sounds bad but which is still better than Maryland which made just 10 cents for every dollar spent which is still better than Connecticut's program which returned only 7 cents on the dollar that's like putting a dollar into a vending machine and getting a single yellow Starburst in return at some point what you're getting out is not worth what you're putting in and Defenders of economic incentives will say that's just just a fraction of the broader economic benefit that they bring the problem is there's not much evidence for that and I know that accounting for the total economic impact of anything is tricky but we are gambling billions of dollars on little more than faith and even basic information can be really hard to come by one study found that three quarters of major State development programs don't even disclose actual jobs created or workers trained so we're basically throwing money down a hole and hoping it brings us prosperity which which is the exact business model of a wishing well and to see this at perhaps its most pointless just look at Kansas and Missouri they've offered competing tax breaks to businesses for years which has made things particularly interesting in one metro area so I'm in Kansas City Missouri that's it behind me uh there is Kansas City Kansas two states one metro area but both States offer subsidies for job creation create a job you get a tax break so what a businesses do Missouri business will move some employees over to Kansas City Kansas and claim a tax break move them back claim another tax break it's true for instance Kansas City Missouri lost corporate offices for all these companies to Kansas City Kansas which in turn lost offices for all these companies to Kansas City Missouri and that isn't creating jobs any more than moving your couch from the bedroom to the living room is creating furniture and this war has come at a real cost a local Foundation has studied two state level incentives programs and estimates that since 2009 around 6,600 jobs have moved from Missouri to Kansas while around 5500 jobs have moved from Kansas to Missouri meaning there's been a net gain of around 1100 jobs on the Kansas side of the line at a combined cost to the two states of $331 million in Lost tax revenue and think about that for a second you could create a program where the first 1,00 people to move from to two Kansas City from Missouri would each get a Ferrari which they could then drive around a giant pile of $30 million that the state had set on fire and you'd actually be fiscally responsible because you would have saved the area $20 million look it is pretty clear that Economic Development needs to be done in a much smarter way and I don't fully blame the companies for this because if governments are going to offer ridiculous incentives they are going to take them so governments need to hold themselves and companies more accountable and if companies aren't producing what they promised we need a system to claw our money back but to find that out we're going to need much more oversight over these programs and what we're getting in return although I will tell you one thing that I know for sure we got in return the Entourage movie that got a $5.8 million tax credit from California and where else were they going to film Entourage Idaho so California please know that you indirectly had a hand in producing a movie which may I remind you had this for its very first line I may have to jerk it before we even get there you know what I've got to say this congratulations Kentucky Ark Museum because somehow you've become the second worst taxpayer subsidized boat in this story and now this and now let's check in with Halloween traffic and weather 33° winds out of the West at 13 that's making it feel like 24 things are already changing rapidly there's some snow embedded with the cold right here seeing a few clouds out there right now we are expecting some rain 34 here but we're tapping into some really cold air off to the West Sunday there is a cold front coming in I know none of you are taking me serious right now we have an overturned semiu and there's no ETA yet really heavy delays over an hour delay from Pennsylvania Avenue to the Wilson Bridge yeah you probably never seen this before for the uh bod weatherman my head is floating over the southbound side that Northbound traffic heading away from us there oh we've got zombies in the forecast the two other suspects are charged with accessory to murder well we are seeing clear skies starting off your Tuesday on this [Music] Halloween and finally tonight a quick word on the United States Postal Service drivers of Zess white Vans you can actually trust the the the postal service has fallen on hard times recently it's massively in debt and last year posted a loss of $5.6 billion which is hardly surprising really cuz why send a letter when you can send an email I mean you could send a two- sentence letter in the mail to your friend in or lowercase that reads hey finally saw the Martian it was okay but that would be both inefficient and deeply weird so the postal service is is currently fighting to stay relevant and cool which is hard for an organization whose very uniforms make you look like a sexual predator on Safari still they are trying to get themselves out there and one recent attempt is absolutely incredible because did you know that since 2015 the postal service has had its own television show it's on Saturday mornings and it's called the inspectors and while it airs on CBS its budget is funded by the government and the show is pretty much what you would expect if a bunch of civil servants from the Postal Service had their own show I'm Preston way and this is my mom Amanda she's a United States Postal Inspector which means she solves any crime that uses the mail my dad was an inspector too one of the best until I lost him and the use of my legs in a car accident now I'm following my own dream with an internship in the crime lab and the help of my best friends together we are the inspectors the whole thing is basically a mix of teenage soap opera police procedural and a PSA about how to protect yourself from various mail related crimes all of which amounts to a kind of CSI mailbox its Stars include this guy who looks exactly like Anthony Michael Hall and you may think that I'm just cherry-picking similar photos there but I'm not their photos are all similar tell me which of these actors was in The Breakfast Club and which wasn't you can't do it that's my point the the problem is that there there is something in about the innately aggressive tone of a cop show and postal inspectors that doesn't seem to quite fit I want to see my lawyer I know my rights and I will not be intimidated by you people who are you pwe FBI I told you we're postal inspectors we're yours nightmare we've got a 98% conviction right you're about to raise it 99 okay first of all if a postal INSP Spector is your worst nightmare you need to have worst nightmares there's a reason that Freddy Krueger kills people he doesn't find them for manufacturing counterfeit stamps also about that conviction rate line that's not how numbers work say they could they've convicted 980 out of a th000 people giving them a 98% conviction rate by convicting one more person their rate isn't now 99 it's 98.1 you know what I don't often say this on this show but I'm going to give this our offal stamp of never mind never mind doesn't matter Let It Go never mind now the episodes are 30 minutes long but I can actually run you through one pretty quickly a recent story featured the postal inspectors getting involved in a cyber Ransom case after they find some evidence on an envelope and they work fast hopefully Georgia can match this guacamole to the stuff on the letter okay we should have the results of the guacamole analysis in a few minutes hey and the elements from the guacamole sample you brought in today is almost identical to the guac on the envelope pest is over Frank US Postal Inspector up against a taco truck man so that is just solidly written dialogue right there except for the part where the guy says oh man because if someone whips out a badge and yells US Postal inspectors the only natural reaction is going to be you guys have badges why but look don't get me wrong this isn't just about the cases this is a show that wants you to invest in the in the histories and the the complex emotions of its characters with all the preparations for this party I just well I Plum forgot to get you something for your birth no no no no so you've been asking about it so I thought you know i' just I'd tell you why I became a letter carrier after the military you see while I was deployed overseas every day I saw how important a a letter or a care package from home could be to a soldier who was was tired or scared or was missing home and I just it made all the difference in the world and I knew that when I got home I wanted to be a part of that smile every day so happy birthday Ed that is officially the world's shittiest birthday present oh sorry I couldn't get you a gift but how about I'll make you stand there for what will feel like an eternity while I tear up talking about mail that's a gift right I just gave you something now the Postal Service even made their own behindth scenes video on the set of the inspectors featuring Anthony bootleg Hall and the rest of the cast talking about what a great agency the USPS is but the best and saddest part is when they interview the real life Chief Postal Inspector G Krell who has an interesting assessment of his own status in Hollywood I came here Star Struck looking at the actors and the actors look at me and the rest of our inspectors here just as Starstruck because we're really the the postal inspectors doing the work so as cool as it is for us to see a TV show it's just as cool for them to see real postal inspectors no no it isn't guy you you're wrong about that you've badly misinterpreted the tone of the actor who found out he had to meet with you and said wow I can't believe this is happening now as this is a Saturday morning program it's ideally supposed to be geared towards kids and teens and yet we checked and the main audience for the show is 55 and older which is just not ideal because the Postal Service needs to get its message out the whole point of this show is to educate viewers about things like mail fraud ident idty theft and the the importance of postal inspectors but it can't do that if it isn't reaching a broad audience so what they need to do is insert their message into existing popular shows and here is where we come in because we've called in a few favors from some of the most popular shows around and they agreed to help out first there's this Leila McQueen Shante NAA Lopez even though you are a truly Fierce Tigress I noticed that you forgot to check for watermarks on postal money orders and Fa to turn on twostep verification the postal inspection service can help you avoid scams but if you can't love yourself girl how are you going to be truly safe from identity theft now sache away tell me that that is not educational and fierce you can't because it's both but look not everyone watches reality shows what people do watch though is this is us which makes you laugh and makes you cry and makes you wonder when the they're going to explain how the father dies why won't you just tell us your monsters tell us so we can prepare ourselves anyway if you could sneak some male related dialogue into that show that would be pretty amazing right take a look hey babe hey hey did you get the mail today I did and once again no suspicious or fraudulent packages in it wow you know it's a good thing we have a US Postal inspection service otherwise I could be killed by a mailbomb one day be terrible if that happened yeah yeah but luckily it won't a mail bomb is definitely not how I die one day I mean even if you did die a premature death I doubt it would be from a mail bomb yeah definitely not no no I'm gonna live forever I'm a Invincible God see perfect the key the key here as you've already seen so far is to do it subtly just make it a completely normal part of a completely normal scene I'm telling you man it's like the system is set up to keep us in here duh that's the prison industrial complex girl whoa e up not everything about the federal government is bad let us not forget about the hardworking men and women of the United States Postal inspection service you know what that is true the uspis does guard us from serious crimes that the uspis is trash will cut you I will cut you you don't know me you don't know the USP this is why I told you to not be disrespecting the postal inspectors in front of her if you'd like to know more about them all you have to do is is simply call 877-876-2455 all right I'll call them today you're welcome Postal Service our gift to you that's our show thank you so much for watching see you next week good night [Music]
