the irs audit report. excuse me. the majority report.ort of a rushed analysis of on taxation which had only about 11 days to look at this voluminous data on their impressions about the audit process. since this is only targeting one president and ignores and leaves out the presidential audits of eight others. presidents who have been we believe -- and it was hard for them to draw a conclusion. individual comments about what the irish pursue -- the irs should pursue. [indiscernible] these are the issues the irs should be looking at as they audit each year. >> all the information will be public. >> it will and is to my knowledge. >> [indiscernible] >> we have asked the same question. several of our members raised the issue here in this rush to make these tax returns public. the work had not been done to protect the personal identifiers within those tax returns themselves. that is troubling. it should be for you as well whether it is children, addresses, other issues that frankly should not be in the public review. social security numbers,

i thought it was interesting some would complain about the irs and then witness a 20% cut to the irs over the last decade. now we hope the funds will be answered. we also hope because one of the issues that has arisen in our report was of that they did not have the ability to hire the specialists you need to do sophisticated tax returns. it is a very one-sided effort. the tax staff came across that information as well. as my agents were designated, they accomplished the goal. they were energetic i also want to point out something else that bears noting. when i was approached by ranking member brady, he asked me if i would allow him and republican staffers to become my agents. came back to the staff, deliberated for a day and a half as to how to proceed and then took the pursuit -- took the position we should do it. they were invited in to see the same evidence the democratic staffers were. it is a very important consideration and i raised that in the past. when republicans argue and i went to hear from the others here, when republicans argue there was no precedent, there is a letter

organization taken from the irs, stolen from the irs, very illegal.s how this happened or what they're going to do to stop it. and they've refused to tell congress, never mind the american people, they won't even tell congress what is happening there. they got caught by their own internal investigators destroying about 30 million tax documents. they won't tell congress how they were destroyed, burned, buried, what happened, lost. they're gone. they say they're destroyed. they won't answer these questions. that may be data, your pieces of paper. >> i hear your argument. i don't know if people still speak of getting paid under the table. but that's what we're talking about here. the under the table economy has grown exponentially as the gig economy has taken off. so what is the irs supposed to be doing? i'll bet you don't want them to have 87,000 new employees. unless they get them, they won't be able to answer the phones. >> $20,000 is significant. how much of your personal data do you trust the presently structured irs. unless there are reforms, the 1

the real scandal here beyond the failure of the irs and the irs commissioner appointed by donald trumpwho was a beverly hills tax lawyer specialist in helping avoid suspected tax cheats avoid indictment and pay as little as possible -- the real scandal is, we are not making any effort in this country to find tax cheating by people at the top, none. three years ago, d.c. report, we got a hold of 1000 pages of internal records of the third koch brothers business, and showed that he was collecting more than $100 million, a year, a total of a billion dollars and paying no income taxes, through a patently illegal device. what happened? we'll, is next door neighbor donald trump became president, the criminal investigation stopped, and nothing has been done since then. the roughly 25,000 people who reported $10 million or more of income in 2019, the most recent data we have, only 2% of them -- less than 500 -- were audited. and they were found on average -- all but ten of them owed money. and of the ones audited -- and the average they owed, almost $8 million when their average income was onl

>> i don't think we are going to see those from the irs. i think we have seen as much as we are going to see from the irs. the only hope that i would have of seeing more details on that is if there is more of a prosecution in new york state. by the manhattan attorney general or by the men had district attorney or the new york attorney general -- if they go after him on for the tax charges, we might see more. otherwise, i think we are not going to see that. >> john, i'm going to ask you the question i asked congressman brendan boyle. is there a good chance that we don't see kevin mccarthy ever getting that speakers gavel? >> yeah, as we speak on friday night here, just a few days before that election, a little bit after 8 pm, he still donna 's not have the votes. and he has got a problem. and he's continuing to work to get those votes. but the biggest problem for his is that the negotiation he would, make the ask of the people that he is dealing with is that he not be speaker. the people he needs to vote for him, the big thing they want, is

but a lot was the irs. what are your questions for the irs?letter to the internal revenue service asking for my irs audit to be reviewed the same extent they're reviewing both comey and mccabes. the interesting thing, in my entire life, i have never filed a late tax return. i have never not paid taxes. in fact, the two years that trump, the rich man that he is, paid $750 per year and as disclosed in "revenge," i paid over $3 million. and i'm the tax evader? i never received a letter from the irs. no overseas accounts, no business, no nominee. every single dollar was deposited into capital one bank. but nevertheless i was given 48 hours to plead guilty to this crazy five-count tax evasion or they were filing an 80-page indictment that was going to include my wife. and there was no way i was going to put her through this, and especially in 48 hours. you really don't have time to think, to plan a strategy. but yet they didn't do any of this with donald. and the question, as david just put forth, is why? why didn't they do it? and i really hope th

do you think they are going to be subpoenaing the irs? they clearly were not doing their job. >> that is actually, let's just say that senate democrats, it is under discussion, they are talking about what they would need to do moving forward, not only on the tax issue, but on other investigations as well. you can be sure that the irs is going to be a focus of investigations next year. but it is going to be the focus of investigations for sure by house republicans, and it is not going to be their fact that they did not audit, do what they were supposed to do regarding trump's taxes. it is talking about legislation that democrats passed to ensure that people, you know, wealthy people do pay their fair share, in taxes. that is what house republicans are going to be focusing on. one thing that house democrats, the ways committee says that they want to do, and speaker pelosi said that she is going to do before congress adjourns by the end of the week is to codify this language into law, that the irs, in fact has to audit presidential taxes. bu

despite irs' shortcomings, my democrat colleagues handed the irs $80 billion in additional funding without seeing its plan for the funds or including the additional oversight. so that's why we're calling on additional oversight. it's very important to protect this $80 billion. moreover, my democratic colleagues have heavily weighted the additional funding towards enforcement rather than updating its systems or taxpayer services. because you can hardly call the irs and get a live person. if you do, you probably don't get the right answers to your questions. so taxpayer service ought to be the number one goal of this additional $80 billion instead of enforcement. specifically, more than half of the additional irs funding is dedicated to enforcement while less than 5% is for taxpayer services. so you can see taxpayer services is an eye on the agenda of the irs. the lopsided nature of the irs funding raises legitimate concerns of overly aggressive tax enforcement. this is especially true given three and to tenths million tax filers are still waiting for the irs to process their 2022 tax return

the irs is essentially -- went after conservatives. the fbi goes after conservatives and sway the election from the standpoint of censoring the hunter biden crime family story. c-span's is continuing the propaganda today by attacking donald trump with all made up, one-sided, democrat arguments. we are all in a deep-freeze right now in the u.s., yet the democrats are promoting the global warming falsehood. we are talking about kangaroo court results as though it israel. -- is real. saying that donald trump did something wrong by not releasing his tax returns. host: marian in georgia. telus what your thoughts are this morning. caller: let me respond to the last caller. global warming means the weather becomes extreme. this cold weather we are having is extreme so that is what level warming is about. but going on to the other. to me, republicans say they like transparency. when we have somebody who goes into a public office, we need to know the reasons that every year the irs makes it mandatory to look at presidents taxes, so that we have

, the irs stuff was to me the bigges surprise why do we think the irs did no conduct the audit it was? >> well, you know, i don't wan to assume that there were an nefarious purposes or nefariou activity but there are som flaws that the joint tax committee found and you know the chairman agents found. for one thing, there is only one person, assigned to do thi audit work the expertise for doing th audit report was not there donald trump was right, it is very complicated taxes i mean, four, 500 companies. we only asked for eight of the donald trump companies and h only provided six tax return of the eight we asked for. but there are hundreds o entities, and so, his taxes, they were so complex that it was really puzzling to the joint committee on taxatio that the irs just relied o donald trump's words, and di not audit. so, the money we asked for, to -- the staff and personnel at the irs, we needed it exactly fo the purposes of looking at complicated tax returns like these. and, there are lots and lots o what they call, -- large -- on usual questionable's, you know, like for example, th

so, i think we know a lot about trump, the operations of the irs in his failings. there's still more than our to be learned about this. i hope the senate will continue the work that we've done, since republicans have made it clear that we not only wanted to keep a cover-up of trump's tax returns. but they wanted to ensure that nothing on this issue happens beginning january 3rd. >> let's look at what stacey had to stay tonight from the committee. she was initially reluctant and opposed to making the tax returns public. let's listen to why she changed her mind about that. >> i for one as some of my colleagues have been talked about, was not an favor of the tax returns i great reserve and doing that and saying the auditory process, as well as seeing the things that should have been looked at. with the dance committee from the tax staff as well. that can only be done with the release of the underlying evidence as well. >> what is the point of making the tax returns public? >> well, i think she gave a great explanation of it. basically to understand the feelings of irs

this is as much an indictment of the irs as it is anybody.but donald trump can't have it both ways. he can insist that he's going to release the returns, promised transparency, and then right when for a legitimate legislative purpose and we decide to do that ourselves. >> congressman, on the screen right now, there is a statement released by a spokesperson for trump, talking about this unprecedented leak, they're calling it, by a lame duck democrat. proof they're playing a political game, they're losing. if this injustice can happen to present trump, you can have it all americans without cause. congressman, on that point, we heard more than once, right, this idea of former president saying they're only going to me to try to get you. it's really you all, the american public, they're trying to get to. is there a harmful precedent that could be set by looking at a president's tax returns that could somehow trickle down to the average american, in a way that would cause concern? >> i think we're going to set one president or another. i worry more

failed to do for trump, — complain when the irs failed to do fortrump, under his complain when the irs for trump, under his administration with the irs— for trump, under his administration with the irs has done with all of our presidents going back to nixon. what _ our presidents going back to nixon. what about the people who will say you are a democrat, he is a political opponent, this is a politically motivated exposure of his tax returns? i politically motivated exposure of his tax returns?— his tax returns? i think our investigation _ his tax returns? i think our investigation shows - his tax returns? i think our investigation shows that i his tax returns? i think our investigation shows that it| his tax returns? i think our - investigation shows that it was targeted to our fighting out of the presidential audit system was working, that it failed and that for people _ working, that it failed and that for people to — working, that it failed and that for people to have confidence in the extent _ people to have confidence in the extent of— people to have confidence in the extent of wh

for the irs itself. your paper has also reported on extraordinary audits of andrew mccabe, coincidentally, in the span of 24 months, received audits that are described as autopsies without the benefit of death. this sort of way that we got this release, the mandatory required audits of the sitting president hadn't happened. what are the legitimate questions on the table now for the irs? >> i think it's an excellent question and when i just alluded to is wide as the president, former president, and the irs still have an unresolved issue over 100 million dollars from 12 years ago? obviously the irs is not back down on that. trump has not backed down on it. why is it still lingering? why did the iris not sign more people to do this? there's a remarkable line in some of the reports that they initially have one person looking at these tax returns. there are 500 tax, business trends taxes trump files everywhere. it's impossible to look at those with one person. after our article bag assigned a total of three p

there's a procedure by which the irs is subject to mandatory review.ad a suspicion that program was not operating as it should. that donald trump being the first president in 40 years to conceal his tax returns in his presidential campaign could be unduly influencing that program. and richie neal concludes after viewing the tax returns that is precisely what happened. neal says, quote, we know now the first mandatory audit was open two years in his presidency. in other words, his review found out the previous administration, the trump administration, the program was dormant. that's why richie neal said he wanted the tax returns because of valid legislative purpose that he cited for viewing an american's tax returns which the chairman has to say, can't just do that for any reason. thisis a congressional committee that goes back. and they found in the first two years of donald trump's presidency until they requested the tax returns that the audit wasn't happening at all. after that, they found specifics issues that they say should have warranted further

not by law, but under irs practice. that's one piece of it.the other really important pieces to look at that in the context of an examination of the returns themselves. those returns raise all sorts of red flags. and we think, in order for congress to act and the american public to judge our actions, we have to be able to look at both of those facts. that's why we felt it was important to release the information. >> well, that first fact, the idea of it being irs rules, not under law, that to me says there is a huge gap between what ought to be the case and what can be legislated. so, the goal would ultimately be, i'm assuming, to legislate away so that it is mandatory under the law. would that be only for an incumbent president, but for a candidate as well? >> our legislation would apply to the president of the united states. we do have other legislation we considered as part of our hr1, our political reform that democrats have advanced, that would require candidates, major candidates for president of the united states, to release their retur

>> we know the irs has done it before.story you guys talked about, it is not a good idea to have government tracing where people are, every little transaction. back in 2013 they had an enemies list at the irs. lois lerner the person who coordinated the enemies list held in contempt of congress harassing using irs power to harass conservatives. right now what they want to do, recall that they have got 75 or 85,000 more people coming to do this harrassment. what they want to do, is be able to trace venmo transactions really micro level. the rule right now you have to have 20,000 in revenue from 200 people and then they have to report to the irs. here what they're doing is basically saying you have to report to the irs if you have 600-dollar transactions. if you give some money to a church through venmo, all of sudden the irs might put you on a watch list. i find it very, very troubling. edward: the president likes to say, kevin he will not raise taxes on americans making under $400,000 a year but when you allow the irs to do

wanting the irs to look at that. i think a larger takeaway here, though, is the other part what you were getting into, which is the irs has rules that say that sitting presidents and vice-presidents must be audited every year. the irs under the trump administration's control did not do that in 2017, did not do the that in 2018. and only started looking at the first of his tax returns in april 2019, the very same day that house democrats on the ways and means committee sent a request to the treasury department for data about his taxes and any associated audits. there's clearly deep dysfunction at a minimum at the irs in this auditing program, and one of the reasons that's important is because committee democrats had said they were looking for these taxes because they needed to assess whether that program was strong enough, whether it needed to be strengthened or was doing its job, and all along trump's lawyers and republicans said that was just a pretext. turns 0 ut there was something big there that they discovered.

on the truth is irs agents are typically there to assist customers. psalm dupree dino who assists customers is the representative representatives like bnr office dealing with backlogs from the irs because they are not focusing their efforts and thei money on taxpayers, which would be helping people deal with the irs and to get their taxes paid properly. these would be the types going out and really getting as much money as they can of the democrats haven't been secretiv about saying the point is to raise revenue. the point isn't to make sure that everybody is paying their fair taxes or people that may b paying too much going to get their taxes back, that rarely happens but you're in what's really important about the irs, similar to the fbi, this is an agency that is contrary to our criminal justice system you are guilty until proven innocent, much like the fbi is doing couple which is why this whole twitter revelation is so dangerous and shocking to peopl to see and agency as powerful a the irs and one even more powerful like the fbi being abl to mani

irs, and they've been doing it for a long time. know, the -- barack obama gets audited, joe biden gets audited, donald trump doesn't. and the cherry on top of this is his excuse for not releasing them is precisely he's been audited. it now turns out it was the inverse of the truth. he was the one president not audited at the time he was saying that contrary to every other president he could not release his tax returns. >> yeah. first of all, it wasn't true that he was being audited. but he said it was. secondly, there's nothing that prohibits any person, especially the president of the united states, from releasing their tax returns even if they're under audit. he claimed that he wanted to be transpart, and he did not. the question is are there things in that return that are questionable? when i went through the returns, they seemed questionable to me. or the least case scenario, he was embarrassed by the tact that he's a pretty poor businessman. and the only thing he's ever been able to do is inherit money and spend it. >> the las

i just think this irs wasn't equipped to do it. the irs. i always say if they jus enforce the tax laws of this country's. there will be a lot of money t do a lot of things it's a matching system they go after people who filed w twos and they go after the -- audit lower -- it's a simple thing once you get involved into th complexities -- how many people it would tak to properly audit corporations and very wealthy people. you see again and agai breakdown. >> that's the backdrop of this >> for a lot of people who - how come it's all lower nursin middle earners who get audited because it's easy. >> it's a simple matchin system you earn 50, 000, they see there should be a w two fo 50,000 if it is a matchup, there is a audit just like that >> that's not fair but easy. i get it suzanne, you definitely when cozy christmas room raider today. >> my dog busters just ready t get on camera here >> blue christmas to you and to buster. suzanne, great to see you. thank you for your amazing reporting on this. suzanne -- pulitzer prize-winning investigative

they believe the irs are teenage to examine closely.cared a net operating loss in trump carried a net operating loss in 2015 of $105 million, and then carried that operating loss over for several more years. he made loans to his children, loans that apparently concerned the house ways and means committee because they -- could gifts disguised as loans to avoid the gift tax. trump also apparently claimed that a company controlled by him called dj t holdings -- 126 point $5 million as a cost of goods sold deduction but did not say what goods have been sold. that's all from the report released tonight by the needs committee after their historic vote to release president trump's tax returns as the very initial speed read. nbc nbc's onside kapoor has also been -- sahel kapoor -- we have had this granted for a number of minutes but what is your tagline here and what can you tell us about these reports. >> yeah, alex, i have been attempting a speed read two of these multiple reports that the committee has put, out one by the ways and means comm

, changing the irs, in any way, that it shouldn't be political. is that possible in your eyes? and you are worried that it might be seen politically, even if it is not? >> well, things are often seen as political that aren't. it shouldn't be. we have put the irs commissioner to serve, you know, five years or more, so beyond one administration to the next. certainly, when we interviewed charles redig, trump's irs commissioner, they were not political questions. we were trying to make sure that he was running the agency with integrity, and i expect they'll do the same with the irs commissioner appointed by joe biden. >> certainly. well, a lot of questions still to come. thank you so much for joining us, congressman don beyer. >> thanks. >>> coming up, authorities are set to speak about the arrest made in connection with that murder mystery at the university of idaho. at the latest on today's developments in that case. >>> plus, a check on the markets, and a look ahead to the economy in 2023. now that we're in the final hour of trading this year. >>>

first, the irs was not doing its job.he tax returns of every president every single year and they were not doing that. our effort on exposing the tax returns uncoffered the irs' failure. number two, the fact that if you look at the six years worth of returns, we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of unsubstantiated deductions, both in terms of alleged charitable contributions as well as alleged losses. there are also sorts of sole proprietorships that have no revenue at all, only losses. what exactly is going on there. so those are three that i just mentioned really off the top of my head. they cry out for a further real audit to take place. and i personally believe that we should follow up with the irs and find out why they weren't doing their job. >> may i ask you specifically to that question. does the irs at least have an explanation by saying we were underfunded that we didn't have the resources we needed to take on the tax analysis. an audit of something of this nature because your ways and means commi

stymied by the first and foremost, the irs itself. led by trump appointee, charles, until october of this year. left a few months ago, interesting lee. they then fought a long legal battle that went up to the supreme court. with a lot of can kicking by various judges who delayed, the, lay delayed. and now, on the last working day of the year, with the clock ticking and just days remaining until republicans take back the house, control of the house. we finally have the data, the six years of returns. journalists and tax experts will be combing through the thousands of pages for days. so far, two big takeaways from all of this information. one, and this is reported actually, a day or two will four we actually got the insurance itself. one is that the irs failed to actually audit trump during the first two years of his presidency. even though that is the standard for presidents. it didn't even begin, the mandatory practice of ardith. in 2019, after congressman mcneill put in his requires. so the irs was in violation of law for the first

the irs was relatively unknown tax layered name chiles reddit.rump appointed right into the position after reddick wrote an op-ed in force magazine, in 2016. defending then-candidate trump's decision. to not release his taxes. irs commissioner -- so red literally just stepped down from that position october of this year. and when it comes today mandatory presidential audits he also told the new york times this week that he did not attempt to intervene in mr. trump's audit. so, we have two of trump's former irs commissioner saying, effectively, not it. and if there are two hasn't responded to requests for comment. but under all of this, trump's taxes didn't get audited until houston regrets started nosing around and asking questions. as a reminder, we are a week away from the year 2023. it is literally around the corner. and still, none of trump's mandatory presidential audits have been completed. and to add to all of this. while the iris was looking the other way for president trump. or whatever the virus was doing. somehow, two of trump's top en

this is really the irs being able to violate your financial privacy as the irs gets to know all aboutd all that you buy and if you're a more of a libertarian like i am, you should be very nervous about that. i think democrats may back off this i can't tell you how much backlash i've already seen from this, cheryl. people are really outraged by this power thrust by the irs. cheryl: your group released a study how it pays not to work in biden's america. can you explain what that means? is that tied to what we're discussing? >> exactly. we looked at two major programs, unemployment benefits and medicaid expansion. what we found is that in three states, believe it or not, cheryl, that you can make over $100,000 a year two unemployed parents getting unemployment benefits and other programs. they can make 100,000. in over half the states you can make over 60,000. that is more for example, often times a construction worker makes or retail person makes or nurses aide. this is real, look, we paul believe in important safety, right? the idea that the government is going to pay people more for n

neil: potentially good news from the irs. good news from the irs.ughan, tell us what is going on? >> reporter: it is rare you get good news from the irs but in this case just before the 2,023 tax filing season, taxpayers can breathe a little easier. a reporting requirement the congress passed as part of the american rescue plan that would require sites and apps like ebay to tell the irs, they are making $600 on their platforms, is going to be delayed. it is not going to apply to this tax season. this reporting requirement impact anyone making extra cash on these apps vote could be considered income. the irs now saying they are holding off on enforcing this for this tax filing season saying the additional time will help reduce confusion during the coming 2,023 tax filing season and prepare more time for taxpayers to prepare and understand the new reporting requirements. these are technically not new taxes but under these reporting requirements you could end up paying more in taxes than you have in the past. if you were not reporting this extra cash a

to collect $80 billion for the irs to do what? simplify the code and people don't misreport and we don't need as many bureaucrats going after misreporting. it is actually a real issue. about 1% of gdp is the estimate of administrative costs to collect taxes with the time and money 2 takes people to do this. now we'll start cracking, cracking 600-dollar payments which add as bunch of paperwork and time to people. james: talk about misreporting, thinking zelle, venmo, other apps probably don't know what the transactions r a lot of them may be people splitting the cost of a purchase they made together, roommates, what have you. a lot of it isn't going to be income, is it? >> yeah. i mean there is an economic aspect of this, we're just raising the burden on people in reporting their taxes. there is also a political issue i think which is the irs will now go after potentially politically sensitive causes donating in some sense. used to be a business was defined on the applications collecting 20,000 a year from 200 people but now with a

again, that would be the kind of things irs could request.don't know if they have or will be released, et cetera. but there are still a lot of puzzles here about how this man's complicated financial, you know, endeavors worked and who he was getting money from and who he owed money to and, again, very basic questions that i wish we had known the answer to while he was in office and, unfortunately, we still don't know the answer to. >> well, it's important to have those answers for transparency and to understand how the system perhaps failed in this case or could do better moving forward. catherine rampell, i appreciate your time. you help to explain it when we talk about it. >>> now to the monster storm that isn't just threatening holiday plans but lives. when and where it's hitting next. is that the new iphone? yup, i just got the new iphone 14 with its amazing camera at t-mobile. wow! for a limited time at t-mobile, get four iphone 14s on us. and 4 new lines for $25 bucks a line.. there's always a fresh deal on the subway app. like this one

advocating for giving more reason to the irs.at they can engage these enforcement activities wonder so outgunned by wealthy individuals or complicated corporate tax audit that they would like to take on that they can't. so i do think they need more resources, i know it's a difficult, task so that said i do think that they dropped the ball, here they should have been a priority for a whole bunch of policy-related really -- need to know that the president of the united states is not above the law. >> and we need to know why didn't the, ball that's going to be something big going forward. catherine, i felt great to see. thank you very much, i think steve as well. >> so, it is called a bomb cyclone and it threatened to bring frigid temperatures up and holiday travel for millions of americans, who will see the brunt of, it that's next. introducing the new sleep number climate360 smart bed. the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms and effortlessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful

well, we found out yesterday that the irs is dormant. they didn't pursue the president without fear or favor, like they're required for every president. so, now, we are proposing legislation that every president must be audited -- because right now, it's just a regulation of the irs. it's not a law passed by congress. we're proposing a law that says every president must be audited on a timely basis. you have to have enough resources. the irs had one person looking at one set of taxes from 2016. they didn't look at the other years. and they didn't have any experts. people on partnerships, on foreign affairs, on the different sophisticated transactions that this president was involved in. >> so, why? why was it dormant? why was he not audited? is anyone asking the question and pursuing the answer? >> that's going to be the continuing push because we need to make sure the irs is doing its job on everything that they do, but certainly on this as well. was it because it was the president's appointee? or was it because the whole system has jus

. >> why is so foul is this brings people to question was the irs money people are my donald trump. > the fact is that if they can do it to donald trump and if they can do to you unless, and they can do it to some of the other people, you just mentioned, why would americans think it cannot be done to them. >> i'm not sure that making his returns public now, really furthers public discourse ultimately be in the public interest. >> the next thing feels innocence, like the lease trumps worries going to focus on it anyway. >> shooting is the outcome i have advised the coverage in detroit, a senior editor at reason magazine and they think the democratic strategists and founder of rebel communications the media obviously is facing a donald trump's tax returns see but questioning by democrats the democrats in the house committee deciding to go public with this is just days before losing the majority. guest: while i think it all about the kind of most relentlessly partisan democratic operatives are looking at the tax returns and going, that's not exciting as i was hoping for an sure, he shows

we have to be open to that a well all of this undermines the irs's credibility.it is already an agency that over the years has been th target of a lot of republica ire, but even with every day americans they wonder wh they're seems to be a double standard when it comes t auditing of people who might make $100,000 a year or $50,00 a year but not folks who are worth hundreds of millions o dollars or billions of dollars like donald trump. it undermines their credibilit even more, just like i think i adds to the baggage that donal trump carries with him int 2024 >> that is exactly right, ther has been a lot of chatter on social media about what exactl the irs is doing there has also been some additional fresh reporting tha donald trump is not the only one who had some secrets in th back there is new reporting thi week that congressman-elec george santos likely falsified large portions of his resume including his attendance a college. together with the fact tha trump was able to conceal hi tax records while running fo president, does this suggest that we need to rethi

the irs is not doing its job. the president's returns are complex and raise a lot of questions. the precedent that i want to avoid is congress saying, meh, too bad. he's the president. there's one set of rules for people like him and another set of rules for the hundreds of thousands of americans who for no other reason other than getting a child tax credit are facing an audit by the irs. that is a precedent we don't -- we don't want to enforce and reinforce this precedent that people at the very top of the economy have their own special set of rules. donald trump has operated as if he was exempt. finally he's being held to account. >> the biden administration is asking the supreme court to end the trump era pandemic policy from restricting migrants from entering the u.s. but not for at least a week. it's requesting the -- rejecting the request to keep title 42. it needs time to wind down the program. cities and states on the southern border are preparing for massive influx of migrants once restrictions are lifted. department of homeland security says officials have moved more t

it goes to this bigger picture of the irs about the distribution of wealth i america and how some ofst americans are abl to use the numbers, use th maneuvers, use the complicated system and quite frankly, us the irs being short staffed to gain the system. that is another thing that cam up in the ways and means reporters that president trump and his lawyers are known to play hardball with the irs because they know they can kin of out power them, gain th system to the point that the irs cannot keep up because the are understaffed >> and glenn, worst-case scenario, if that comes to pass, after these full tax returns are released, is there anythin that can stop donald trump a he moves forward in hi political career in the coming two years? >> only the will of th american voters. of course, the will of the american voters was almost overwritten in january six i also think, richard, i highlights the need to try and legislate at least som transparency, some disclosures by people who are running fo the highest office in the land i know people will say the constitution does not allow fo any a

when jonathan talks about the difficulties the irs is having, the irs is woefully underis staffed and underfunded. it has 80,000 staff rs, the same in 1970.ers, the same in 1970. since then there's more billionaires to take advantage of every loophole manageable. here you have donald trump in 2020 paying no taxes whatsoever. and president biden has said that the irs audited his tax returns both in 2020 and '21 and a spokesperson said he was aud mitted for each of the eight years he was aud uted. there's some real questions about the presidential audit system, this program that is apparently broken. >> and that's one of the things that the committee recommended. in order to get these tax returns, they needed what was called a legislative purpose and one of the things that they called for is reform to that program and providing the irs more resources to make it happen. so let's get back to the substance of the taxes. this is something you have reported on extensively. the former president claims to be this incredible businessman, but what do the tax returns reveal about his business pra

you have to report it to the irs because of income.ule in president biden's american rescue plan changed the reporting requirement from 20,000 total in gross income from the appses to $600. now some democrats are having buyer's remorse and want to change the rule retroactively. >> i don't agree with it. say you actually got a taylor swift ticket somehow miraculously. say you resold it because you couldn't attend a concert, so you actually experienced a loss. >> reporter: if you were using the apps to run your business, likely already reporting this as income to the irs. this really impacts average americans that were using these apps to get a little extra cash on the side. liz. elizabeth: hillary vaughn, what a story. welcome to the show former labor secretary nominee andy puzder. what is your take on this? going after the little guy, the pentagon, okay the pentagon can't keep track of two trillion dollars in spending, more than a quarter of a trillion in covid relief money is stolen? the irs is coming for the little guy like this? wha
