bully irs be be honest and fully and deeply transparent? will the irs to use beck's practices?ely on unbiased data set commonsense goals. i was conceived designs adopted i'm skeptical. but i will look to you to fill the gap if you are confirmed. the fact that nearly 60% of the funding will go toward hiring enforcement personnel, more than 14 times the funding set aside for serving taxpayers. it is of particular concern. supersized irs and enforcement hiring has nothing to supporting invasion by wealthy tax sheets. outcomes for fear of the irs voice untold taxpayer dollars chasing speculative or marginal revenue recoveries while hard-working americans and small businesses end up in a dragnet. when i offered my amendment to statutorily protect taxpayers making less than $40000 and increase audits on all of my republican colleague stepped up and voted yes. no one on the other side voted yes. and now we have a statement from the secretary of the treasury that in fact we won't see the 60 plus% of the $80 billion spent on auditing those making less than $400,000. my colleague that sh

the irs another $43.2 billion. i have to ask, ithat a joke? after a two-year inflation crisis, that has cost american rkers more than two month's of pay, families need every penny they can get. but they can't even get their own refunds back because of the historic backlog at the irs. and they can't get through to a human at the agency becausef the terrible customer service. the irs needs to address its trust gap. when pro publica announced it had obtained a vast trove of confidential and private taxpayer information, the american people was rightly worried. what was stolen is their -- what was stolen? is there information safe? to this day, treasury has provided no public answers, they have treasury commitment to invoke woke, racial, and climate politics in our monetary policy and our tax codes. the treasury department is woefully falling short. i hope our discussion covers these topics in more and productive way finally getting answers to the questions the american people have been demanding. i'm pleased to recogn

i mean, the irs agent, the irs agent was basically -- the irs agent appeared on basically a 2018 tax return that was filed electronically by a cpa about identity fraud. i mean, it is unbelievable the timing of it and one half to really believe why they that agent shows up on the big day that witness testifies before the subcommittee of weaponization of the federal government. maria: david, the irs will contact you a number of ways if they have questions for you. have you ever in your life seen an irs agent show up at someone's home to talk about their tax returns? >> absolutely not. if there's a concern about identity fraud in 2018 or now, a telephone call or a letter is typically common. certainly not showing up at a house. maria: extraordinary. david, thanks very much for weighing in on all of that. david bruno joining us. the next hour "mornings with maria" begins right now. and it is time tore the word on wall street, top investors watching your money. joining me right now is vice chairman tom lyden and john lonski. tom, great to see you. thanks for joining the conversation. >> g

since then, the irs's audit rate has dropped almost 60% in the number of irs agents, the same numberreated sick children by prescribing them menthol cigarettes. and the combination of understaffing and stone age technology has resulted in a very weird situation. >> you're more likely to be audited in united states if you make $20,000 a year than if you make $500,000 a year. >> the less money you have, the easier it is for the irs to come after you. this is because the irs doesn't have enough money to hire the highly trained investigators needed to go head-to-head with the wealthy. ultimately, it's easier for them to audit lower income people because it's cheap, can be done by mail, and doesn't take a lot of time. [boos] >> al: can you believe that? the irs is so understaffed that they audit poor people more than the wealthy because they just don't have the experts to handle the most complex returns. they are going after poor people because it's easier. it's like a comic only does "your mama" jokes. sure, it's easy, but at what cost to my mama?

is that what the irs was doing? >> i think every piece of evidence points exactly in that direction. this is about the weaponize aation of -- weaponization of the irs to achieve the goals of the left wing group running the government now. on four separate occasions i've directly questioned secretary yellen about the leak of private taxpayer information. it's leaked into the public domain. secretary yellen has no answer for he myrfor me. i think they know and they're not sharing it with us. when we see what happened to matt taibbi on the day he's about to testify about the weaponization of government, it's unconscionable. it's got to come to an end. maria: what are you going to do about it? the weaponization subcommittee is able to get witnesses in to talk with them but when you've got an irs agent many coming tr home that's a scary thing for a citizen. have you ever before seen an irs agent show up at someone's home? >> this seems highly irregular. they could have sent a letter, could have had someone make a phone c

the irs is not commenting on this.im jordan has sent a letter to the irs commissioner and treasury department asking for documentation and communications behind the scenes about this particular visit from the irs to see if there's any coordination or targeting of him as a journalist. but the bottom line is we have seen this evidence before. all of the things he laid out in the hearing was about the digital censorship and partnership between big tech and the federal government, but we have seen the irs go after people for convenient political reasons as well. time will tell, but it sure -- the facts that we have make it look like they are visiting for a political purpose. >> john: folks at home say they have heard of fbi knocking on people's doors, but why the irs? wall street journal bigger question, when the irs dispatch agents for surprise house calls. typically when the irs challenges some part of a tax return it sends a dunning letter or seek more information. if they want a return, it schedules a meeting. it does
