let's bring in senator joni ernst, republican from the state of iowa. to audit the irs and you just heard back, what did they tell you? >> they said yes, they would audit the irs and they do see this as a problem. as you noted, 1250 employees were willfully delinquent on those tax returns. they hadn't paid their taxes and there were 300 of them that were repeat offenders. even one of them is an irs, investigator. if we are hiring 87,000 new agents maybe we should make sure they are policing their own agency. stuart: what were some of the excuses for them not paying taxes? >> the most egregious was they didn't know how to use turbotax. other excuses was they couldn't figure out the forms. these are folks who work for the irs. they are investigators, agents that are hired by the irs to dig into other people's finances, it is inexcusable. stuart: we heard producer prices, business costs up 8.7% in the past year, that was in the month of august. it was 9. 8% increase in july. the inflation rate is slow a little. what is inflation like in iowa? >> inflation

senator joni ernst with a killer kick off to the college football season, the home team dominated with a 42-10 win. our question this morning, which political party is more pro-worker?

joining me now is iowa senator, senate armed services committee member, joe joni ernst.thank you, maria. maria: i want to start there. why did the u.s. allow the iranian president into america, understanding that they are the leading sponsor of terrorists? why did the united states give a visa to sergei lavrov and his entire delegation into the united states after all of the death and a destruction that he has caused with vladimir putin? >> this is a really great question, maria. and i would like to know that answer from president joe biden. we know that he was the one that signed off on the visa for president riesi of of iran and a others. we know iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism around the globe. they ta targeted u.s. citizens, generals and so forth. in response to that, representative mike waltz of florida and i will be introducing what we call the punish act a which will cod s's ify sanctions against iran. maria: it's incredible to me that they're talking about staying neutral, they're talking about supporting ukraine and yet we act as if business as us

issue that we've been working on for years, however, in this regard to the deal that is why senator joni ernst just introduced legislation that basically says if you hold american hostage and try to assassinate american officials if you are going to wound american soldiers through your proxies as they just did a few weeks ago in syria, you don't get billions in sanctions relief. the congress has got to step up into bipartisan issue i had 70 democrats sign on to a letter saying the deal has to be broader, stronger, whiter and more meaningful and by the way another 50 democrats just expressed concern with what's coming out of the current negotiations, i think the president going to have a very hard time trying to sneak this through congress. maria: i know your bill would codify for president trump's maximum pressure sanctions on iran, prohibit them from being lifted until the secretary of state can certify iran or its proxies not attempted attack on u.s. citizens. we know right now that they have on the back of secretary pompeo and john bolton, why is this a administration directly negotiating w
