we have a submission that probable crimes, the irs. that said we use the foia quite substantially and other tools at our disposal to gain quite a bit of public and nonpublic information. all of the information was obtained completely legally through various tools of investigation. at this time what we would like to do in an expeditious fashion is to inform the process we went through and to state our findings that are in our submission to the irs. it's a complex issue. a significant amount of information but let it be said our claim is a tax claim. it's a claim of probable cause indicating that the foundation operated outside the bounds of its approval that came from the irs. >> you have two minutes. >> if we could read our investigative process to you in a quick fashion here is what we would do. we went to the 990s. we are finance investigators. restarter with returns of the foundation filed, not that we filed enough that you filed, that they filed. these were their revenue sources and their expenses. we attempted to reconcile all of t

yes there were individual audits and operatives embedded in the irs to could get things done. i do not want to romanticize the history of the irs and its willingness to bend the rules, but this larger project of individuals the only flaw was to oppose the president that was never carried out. y-letter? september 19725 or 6 weeks after the conversation george schultz and the commissioner of the irs walters a republican from south carolina who took civil service very seriously they stood united in their opposition to the enemies list project counselor to the president deliver the enemies list to walters and he told him no. he told them he would talk to his boss schultz and he previously that summer caved to some of the white house demands when it came to bring larry brian in for an interview on finances but the enemies list was a step too far. 1972 election is weeks away so she also identifies this order is incredibly dangerous social ten waters were not the best of friends coming from backgrounds stood united and they said no and you can hear nixon on the tapes rant and rave abo

but it becomes is a list to get to the irs and that is something that you hear on the tapes.it's not something that's being done by john d dean is coming fm the oval office. whether it is the notes are the tapes or john deane's own very good memory is clear that it was coming straight from the oval office. what i try to show in the book is how in certain instances it was micromanaged by richard nixon and his key advisers. i hope you had a chance i was at a program in the national archives at of weeks ago at the 19th date election and it was like yesterday for him he remembers everything. we show movies in the campaign and attacks took over the whole program and talked about his role in the event. had he left the white house. pat buchanan is a pretty important point here and so as i said even though there is a kind of collective sense that nixon wasn't a good president, we are talking about people who don't have enough time in a day to do research or think about mixing beyond his headlines i think the collection is that watergate was bad but pat buchanan is featured in a lot o

he did that with the money that was left over after paying the irs off . >> did your grandfather haveany conversations with gary cooper after the film was released? >> he did have some conversations with gary cooper. we have a couple telegrams that we found. in fact, that was found with gary cooper's daughter. she showed them on york avenue that was named after my grandfather. it is on the upper east side. on the 16th they are having a special ceremony in the armory. >> the key figure behind this film, explain who he was. >> he was a partner in warner bros. and a founder with his brother jack. harry warner was a fascinating man because he placed principal over profits. in 1934 for example, warner bros. became the first studio to stop exporting films to germany because of the fascism with adolf hitler. they lost considerable money. no other studio did that until 1940. he was proud of judaism. he said during the hearings in 1941, i am a juvenile -- i am jewish and i am an american. he is one who helped convince alvin york to agree to do the film. york had not met that many jewish people

the irs filed a claim this month in probate court that says the singer's estate owes about $8 million in back taxes and penalties. attorneys say they've already paid more than 3 million and they're disputing some of the irs' claims. the legendary singer died of pancreatic cancer in august. she was 76 years old. >>> meanwhile tyler perry is set to host a star studded concert tribute to the queen of soul. aretha, a grammy celebration for the queen of soul, will be taped at shrine auditorium next month in los angeles. it will air later at a cbs special. ers will honor franklin during the show. patti labelle will also take the stage. >>> sears is now closing 80 more stores as it teeters on the edge of liquidation in addition to the 182 stores slated to close. sears filed for bankruptcy protection in october and had secured a bid to avoid closure completely. the 80 additional stores will close by march. >>> tesla just named two new independent directors to its board as part of a settlement with u.s. regulators demanding more oversight of ceo elon musk. they include larry ellison, the found

but he had some difficulties with the irs. irs came back and said you owe us money from the movie. he went back and showed them where he had written checks. they said, well, you owe us more. and they really didn't come in until later in his life, and they said the interest, you owed us, $15,000, $20,000, but the interest is now $175,000. sam rayburn in congress actually got a group together and they raised money and they got with the irs and the irs actually settled for $25,000. but before that, when my grandfather had gone to the hospital once, the irs had come and told my grandmother don't -- if your husband passes away, don't do anything because we're going to take the farm because he owes back taxes. >> but he did have a ground swell of support here in washington and elsewhere? >> he had a fantastic ground swell of support, from d.c. -- from all across the country. people sent money in. actually more money than was needed to pay. he set up a trust fund to fund education for children that couldn't afford to go to school with the money that was left over from paying the irs off.

how about he pay some of that to the irs. jesse: he does owe a lot of back taxes to the irs. check is in the mail. the people that watch these non-profit experts and the charity people. they are saying this is kind of break an irs rules, and this is going to be a lot of potential for funny business. but sharpton has always been in the funny business game. kevin hart was supposed to host the oscars. he's no longer hosting the oscars. many, many, many years ago he sent out a tweet saying this. if my son come home and try to play with my daughter's doll house, i am going to break it over his head and say in my voice stop, that's gay. they dug up a bunch of old tweets, now he's band from hosting. >> why is the oscar trying to make kevin hart apologize. they never knead jimmy kimmel apologize for what he was doing. they have him on videotape telling women to do things to his body parts. but they want to make kevin hart apologize. when do people have time to redeem themselves. a tweet from 10 years ago? you know everybody has evolved on that issue. give me a break. leave kevin hart

they should have accounting, it is the job of the irs and the federal election commission to oversee that, not necessarily with another criminal probe that leads nowhere. >> shannon: harry, a lot of criminal probe is going on, more being promised out of new york, as well. >> that's right. look, i drew the congressman, you need something, but they have it here, it is not just cohen, it is also rick gates, who has cooperated. there is some worry, right camille franklin haney, who gives $1 million, then later asks for favorable treatment for a $5 billion loan. they are just looking at it now, but i don't think it is the sort of thing -- it is a lot of missing money. it makes sense to try to figure out where did all of the money go? >> shannon: the committee it says it has been audited and happy to provide that. we will follow the story. harry, jason, thank you both. a fox news exclusive, the first tv interview since his former fixer, michael cohen, was sentenced to three years in jail, president trump slamming his former lawyer. a correspondent kristin fisher has high life. but he may c

know members of both parties have called to send these provisions over because they, as you know, the irs reforms passed almost unanimously here in the house. the retirement and savings package has been bipartisan. the whole package we were voting, dramatically bipartisan. yetave not found a senator that thinks that is this makes families wait longer for disaster relief. certain, pretty much based on what has been said, that they are going to leave. inrefore, whatever we do i don'tsure passes, think the senate was ever going to consider this part of the legislation in the first place. but i agree with you that we will be able to move forward and , doubtless, do something that will really help. we talk about the middle class. but these groups that are just below the middle class are also hurting. i'm not one who places a lot of faith in snapshots in time, but some have said that only 28% of said the tax bill help them. 45% reported no impact -- 23% of in that exit poll said the bill hurt. this, as reality is all of us politicians and keen and in my , republican colleagues stop even talking

the ability to go in and look at those things, but it's only to look at those things to make sure the irs and government is not abusing a taxpayer. if there is a drumbeat that says there has to be disclosure of the president's tax returns, notwithstanding what the losses, where does that stop -- law says, where does that stop? justices are dealing with issues of great economic importance. should their tax returns be disclosed? it becomes -- i think there is a question about careful what we wish for. i'm willing to engage on any level of specificity about the president and so forth. i stood up to him on how he handled vladimir putin in helsinki. i had a discussion with him in the white house that was publicly noted. i stood up to the administration on other things that relate to great lakes funding in my area, and any number of other things. the country and constitution, and the development of a body of work, legally gives a lot of authority under our system to the president, particularly as it relates to foreign affairs. >> based on that, what would you tell democratic colleagues who have

caller: i work for the irs. host: i read i think in the thel street journal" that government was talking about the fact that the irs was being affected. caller: correct. host: what is your status? caller: i am furloughed. of a political situation. this country was founded on christian principles and god. god's word teaches us that we should not oppress aliens because we are all aliens to this country. who originated here were the indians. for us to oppress other people is very treat them wrong. i do understand the drug situation and all of that. building a wall is not going to stop that. i listened to the secretary of homeland security last week on c-span as it she spoke about other options that are available. i just think that we have turned this whole situation into something that is a battle the democrats and the republicans. it really needs to stop. bringingo focus on this country together as a whole. it is not about political parties. it is not about donald trump. it is about bringing people together, especi

together in a bipartisan manner to reach solid common ground on our efforts to redesign and restructure the irs. our bill, offering clarity and certainty to taxpayers, led by lynn jenkins of kansas and john lewis of georgia, received near unanimous support in the house earlier this year. it's time to send these reforms to the president's desk. the irs is an agency with one singular mission, quality taxpayer service. next, temporary tax policy is hardly ever good economic policy. our tax code needs to reflect that. we have an opportunity here to set a new tone for how we treat these temporary extenders. moving forward each year, working with the senate and stakeholders, we're able to phase out the extension for biodiesel credit while making permanent the railroad track maintenance credit at a reduced level. hopefully these industries and individuals impacted by the remaining temporary tax revisions will step forward and work with incoming chairman neil, myself, and the senate and voice their support for permanent solutions where we, as a congress, believe there is merit moving forward, and so i
