00:00I'm going to echo that theme because right now back home in Iowa, my Iowans know that

00:09every penny counts and what we've seen all across America is a 20% hike in goods and

00:18services since President Biden and Vice President Harris took office.

00:25They own these policies and Vice President Harris, she literally is the one that cast

00:34the tie-breaking vote on two enormous tax and spend bills.

00:41She owns them.

00:43This drove prices up for all Americans and we're seeing a horrible time in the heartland,

00:51especially in my state of Iowa.

00:55So through this whole process, Democrats, they're really big on spending and they greenlit

01:02an $80 million proposal to hire more IRS workers, right?

01:08Okay.

01:09IRS, great people, right?

01:10Well, you might think so, but not because I have ordered a report of the IRS, an audit,

01:20and what we found out, the report just came back, folks, and the IRS can't pass their

01:25own audit.

01:26What we learned through that report is there are over 5,800 employees of the IRS that owe

01:36back taxes to the tune of $50 million, $50 million, 5,800 people owe them.

01:48So the IRS employees that owe this, they are the same ones that are out there promoting

01:57through the IRS that tax evasion is a serious crime, seriously, and they have 5,800 tax

02:07evaders.

02:09So my thought of the IRS Act ensures that the Biden-Harris IRS army is forced to live

02:17by their own rules.

02:19Why are we hiring people that won't even live by their own agency's rules?

02:26Honest taxpayers shouldn't have to pay the salaries of tax evaders, right?

02:34Common sense, folks, common sense.

02:36It's time to tell all of these IRS bureaucrats, you're fired.
