we're on twitter at bpshow.ry reunion says i blame the congress that allows themselves to be bought. and write the bad tax loopholes into law which allows google to not pay taxes. see, that's my point. the congress could change it. phil asks if i stand with rand and congratulating megacorporations for gaining the tax system they created. i don't stand with rand on that. i think that rand paul made the issue that this is the law and they're only obeying the law and if we have a problem with it, we need to get the laws changed. 1-866-55-press is our phone number. 1-866-55-press. let's go to the phones. tim in cleveland ohio. tim, welcome. >> caller: hey, peter. i was going to throw in, too that you know, it is the system. we should hold the company to it as much as the congress or the executive because they're the ones with that money. they're the ones who are spending the tens of millions to save hundreds of millions and billions. so they are every bit as culpable as the congressmen and the executives who are tak

>> we're on twitter at bpshow where t.as says -- we asked the question did barack obama, the president do enough to sort of quiet the critics on the i.r.s. he says yes especially since the whole tea party profiling occurred under a bush appointee who retired in november. >> bill: good to remind ourselves. >> mas says it doesn't matter what the president does. the g.o.p. will continue to find fake scandals. >> bill: they will. but at some point, just like the benghazi thing i think they run out of gas. i think with the i.r.s., they've run out of gas too. it was certainly no widespread conspiracy to go after republicans. pretty clear. it was just a few people in the cincinnati office who bungled this and took the easy way out. and went after the little tea party groups instead of going after the big players like karl rove. larry is calling from new briton connecticut. what do you think? job done here? >> caller: you know, of course, these things aren't going to go away. bill isaac gets his marching orders from fox news. you

find us online @bpshow. let us know what you think. >> bill: there is only one reason and the bigger picture here, which i am really troubled by and we are going to be talking from someone at the aclu at the top of the next hour about this is that this administration has been more zealous in going after leakers than any other administration. they have indicted six government officials so far in the last four years for leaking information to the media. and by the way, i remember john f. kennedy. i remember reading about john f. kennedy saying about his presidency, this vessel leaks from the top. there are leaks in affair administration. but the obama administration has pursued this with zeal like nobody else that the six people that they have indicted that is double all of the people who have been indicted by all presidents combined until the obama administration. so the president is the fixate on ed /* on this. i think eric holder went way way, overboard. the only reason to tap those phones. not tap the phon
