And said uh yeah you guys don’t need to look at all of that stuff and they’re like excuse me we’re the IRS we are looking at all the banking stuff and all the money stuff uh you don’t really need to and then that whole staff was let go
This guy is now coming forward and he is going to be giving testimony on Friday um our client learned that one of the agents he supervises so this is not a low level Guy this is a supervisor at the IRS the case agent on the case our client is
Uh blowing the whistle on sent you an email on Thursday in which the IRS case agent raised concerns about the hunter Biden investigation that’s what the lawyers wrote in a letter but the IRS leadership quickly responded with accusations of criminal conduct and warnings to other agents in an apparent
Attempt to intimidate into silence anyone who might raise any similar concerns so in this Congress is saying you got to stop uh harassing these whistleblowers it’s got to stop now now the FBI has just failed yesterday to sign over a document that whistleblowers say the FBI have which is showing
Um a criminal scheme involving Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign National they won’t admit to having it or admit to not having it it’s just part of an ongoing investigation and we can’t really comment on that so they Congress which oversees the FBI Congress has said you have to produce this
Um they they said first by May 3rd May 3rd you gotta you gotta release it May 3rd then they said by uh yesterday they were going to have a closed door meetings with the FBI so we want to see that at the closed door meetings they still won’t produce it
So now I guess the house oversight and accountability committee uh are gonna I I what I don’t know maybe uh maybe another sternly worded letter or I’m not sure but they’re backing Congress into a corner and I I just I don’t know I’m starting to have hope that there are enough
People in Congress at least I don’t know about the Senate but in the Congress that uh they’re gonna fight their way out of this they’re not going to take this for so long there’s been that belief that eventually Congress would step up and take the power that they have they
Have to right like I mean we’ve talked about the Reigns act with Mike Lee recently and by the way that is in if it’s left in there that the Reigns Act is in the um budget deal that would be massive it would be a really really big Improvement to our government and our
Country uh it basically would limit them from making these little rules that no one votes on that what’s what’s 100 million dollars in effect yeah I mean it should be so obvious that it shouldn’t you shouldn’t need a new act to do it but if if you’re going to affect the
Economy by a hundred million dollars or more you have to get a vote of approval you can’t just do it willy-nilly yeah it pretty much takes away the um the power of the administrative state to do things like the ATF is doing right now you can’t just make up laws
The laws are created by Congress and this is so I mean you talk about the Constitution and this and the importance of it all the time but it’s so important because what people have done have decided they’ve decided you know what we want things we can’t have the things by
These rules so let’s come up with new rules the Reigns act as a good example of this where they just decided well we’ll just give all the power to the administrative State and we’ll just let them make all these rules up therefore we don’t have to go through all the trouble of the
Vote and the debate and exposing this to the American people we might get voted out let’s get the uh we’ll give the responsibility for those things to other people and let them do it without a vote without any approval uh you know the Soros uh DA’s are another great example
Of this we can’t get people to approve laws that just let violent criminals out of prison so what if we instead spend a bunch of money it’s a very effective process financially because you don’t have to spend that much money to win a local D.A election spend a bunch of money get some
Local D.A elected and then tell them ignore all the laws ignore them just you have prosecutorial discretion so just don’t Pro don’t do any of it just bend that rule to the millionth degree and then go out there and ignore all the laws that have been passed you don’t
Want criminals to go to jail fine you want Sanctuary cities fine just don’t just ignore all that stuff who cares if those are laws and so they’ve decided to try to go around the Constitution and around the rule of law by doing these things what’s happened in the executive
State it’s happened in the uh you know on a state-by-state basis as localized As Cities and this is their plan they’ve given up trying to actually win these debates they’ve just decided to go around them and and wait for you to think it’s normal and then they don’t have to win the debate
Well hopefully the rains act will be left in to this bill but I I don’t know what’s going to be left into the bill uh we’re talking about the um uh the debt on the debt ceiling um you know I’m watching McCarthy and he seems Rock Solid on this
You know they always started too late we’ve been telling the Republicans since November that they had the good about the Toyota and this time it’s the Republicans because the first thing McCarthy did when he got in was send a letter to the White House we have to
Start working on this right now because there are some things that we’re not going to approve so we need to start negotiating and now the Democrats are behind the eight ball now what did McCarthy say was they did not negotiate for 97 days yeah after it was initially
Proposed right and what’s so silly about this they keep saying well we don’t want to set the precedent that we have to negotiate every time we need a debt ceiling increase that would be crazy what what why why first of all and if you’re telling me that the default is so
Terrible right it’s the worst thing out there and I do agree it would be catastrophic but we won’t we shouldn’t right because it just requires Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury to sit down and select what’s going to be paid and what’s not going to
Be paid right and you’ll have a long road there now you shouldn’t even get to that point of course because the Republicans have put out a bill that is pretty sensible I mean it has minor minor Cuts in our government spending not even Cuts they’re just cuts in the
Future increases they’re not even Cuts they’re cuts to the future increases of spending it is not we’re going back to what 2019 spending levels in a lot of these categories oh no this is not that catastrophic it’s not that ridiculous but to for us to default the Democrats would
Have to say that these minor cuts to future increases is worse for the country than default because they have an option there’s been a bill that’s already been passed by Republicans it’s already been passed all they have to do is get on board with it so if they thought
That this was worse than default then perhaps it would be sensible for us to go into default but obviously it’s not worse than default it so just get in there and negotiate something out that’s in between we get that the Republicans might not get everything that they want
But find out a place to to settle this because they keep saying well you know if we don’t if we negotiate then that’s going to encourage future negotiations around the debt ceiling yes well yeah that’s the whole point of the debt ceiling the point of the debt ceiling is
Like a gut check it’s saying hey guys you keep bumping up against this number that has trillion in it maybe instead you should think about how to get a little bit more fiscally responsible and instead they’re like well we’re just gonna we’re basically gonna show them by
Defaulting we’re going to show them we don’t want to default so much that we’re going to just default well that’s a that’s an inane argument what do you think he’s going to do you think he’s going to negotiate and come to something or you think he’s going to
Just play hardball and go nope no negotiation because that’s what he that’s where he’s at no negotiation he seems to be weakening a little bit on that and I do think eventually we will get to a place where Republicans will be able to claim a little bit of a win
Democrats will say we didn’t give them everything that they wanted they held us hostage they’re bad people they’re mean and eventually we get this I will say it is May 23rd now I don’t believe the June 1st date the June 1st date is is not true but fundamentally it could be true if
The right number of people pushed in a direction that was hurtful to the United States I mean people with bad intent could make that date true you’re as you point out Glenn they can stop funding turtle tunnels for a while yeah and give us extra days there’s a lot of things
They can stop funding instead of not paying our debt and I think their argument based on the 14th Amendment where they say well it says on the 14th Amendment our debts are you know we we have to pay them so we have to pay them well that would indicate that they would
Have to not pay a bunch of other stuff before they got to not paying the debt right like it’s just like in your own household hey we have uh the kids summer camp budgeted here but we don’t have enough money to pay the rent which one
Do we pay you don’t pay the summer camp thing first and then you get to there’s lots of some lots of Summer Camps now according to Joe Biden there is literally not one dollar we can cut from this budget you know it’s really weird because that’s what Nancy Pelosi said
Years ago the cupboards are bare nothing to cut and then we added like seven trillion dollars and it’s still there yeah apparently that’s how much money I mean everyone knows of course there’s money to to save you might even say that there are important programs that you like but still every organization has
Waste I mean waste would at least buy us some time but uh you know non-essential programs would also buy us a lot more and so there is more time than than June 1st but it is a little it’s a little it’s a little close you kind of like to
Get this thing uh settled and maybe put in a little bit of a harder cap for next time maybe put one put a cap out there that’s a few years in the future that says we actually shouldn’t get to this guys let’s try not let’s not worry about
The negotiation next time when we get there let’s come up with a plan to not hit it next time why don’t maybe we go the other way maybe instead of increasing the debt every single time we go the opposite way and decrease it what do you think about that idea I know it’s
Wild and crazy but maybe that was more fundamental to what the founders were talking about with the 14th Amendment then what you’re doing here or you’re just increasing it all the time and yelling at people when they ask you to spend a little bit less well I just don’t think we can spend
Less still I just don’t think that’s even possible cupboards are bare
