Devin dan Pillow, your tax guru, will join 5 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: us coming up at seven thirty in studio answering your 6 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: tax related questions. We were talking a bit about Artemis 7 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: two in the launch yesterday. We'll get into more of 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: that in about an hour from now. I did have 9 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: a friend of the show the first talkback that was 10 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: questioning the moon landing, the first one, not the second one. 11 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: The guy he said he was just he was just teasing. Yeah, 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I figured as much. Thank you for that. 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: Again. 14 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: Another reason why I don't like April Fool's Day because 15 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to tell. I can't see the expression 16 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: on your face. Also talking about Trump saying the US 17 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: will finish the job soon in his first or primetime 18 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: speech of the Iran war. Let's get to a few 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: of your thoughts before we move on to other Trump 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: and court related items this morning on Twin City's News Talk. 21 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 3: And I don't think that people have really paid attention 22 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: to the Islamis and what they say. Those guys are 23 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: not going to surrender. They are going to fight to 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: the death, and the only way to defeat this evil 25 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 3: is to wipe them out. And we're finding that out 26 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: right now. And I'm just glad that Donald J. Trump 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: has the guts to go in there and get it done. 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 4: Donald Trump just hit the nail on the head. The 29 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 4: Iran conflict is an investment in your children's future that 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 4: they don't deal with terrorism and the bullies coming from 31 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: this region anymore. Unfortunately, the Democrats there vision of your 32 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: children's futures paying off massive, massive deaths caused by fraud 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 4: and programs developed under their watch. 34 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 5: No, this is Chuck from Green Isle. As far as 35 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 5: Israel having boots on the ground, who was it that 36 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 5: infiltrated all their little organizations and knew exactly who and 37 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 5: where all these people were that they needed to take 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 5: out exactly. I think they had a lot of skin 39 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: in again. 40 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, see you by thank you, Chuck. 41 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: I agree with you, and thank you for the comments 42 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: from the iHeart Radio app. Let's sneak one in here 43 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: regarding the Artemis mission, and then we'll turn our attention 44 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: over to the courts. 45 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 6: And they continued. 46 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: Relentless pursuit to take Trump down via judge activism. 47 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 7: Good boy John Dennis the Southwest Minnesota. Yes, I do 48 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 7: remember the moon Lent in nineteen sixty nine. I was 49 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 7: awesome then, and it was awesome yesterday. It was really 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 7: fun the launch. All these people in naysayers they don't 51 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 7: know what they have to talk about. And Trump's speech 52 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 7: was powesome last night. I feel like we're in a 53 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 7: very very good place in this country right now. 54 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Best memoraboo, have a great day. 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: So we brought up the ballroom again yesterday because another 56 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: judge has gone and blocked it. And to some of 57 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: the points that I made on the show Wednesday, I 58 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: have an article here from the Daily Wire. I just 59 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: wanted to share with you a few points because it 60 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: made me laugh. Yesterday was one of the most important 61 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: days in American legal history. 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 6: Exclamation point. 63 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: Federal Judge Richard Leon ordered the Trump administration to stop 64 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: construction of a new White House ballroom on the grounds 65 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: of the somewhat recently tore down East Wing, and he 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: did so by using a lot of the exclamation points. 67 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: In fact, he used eighteen of them in a thirty 68 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: five page opinion. That's a lot, and I'm only now 69 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: realizing that I should have grabbed the Elaine esclamation point 70 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: clips from that episode where she put a whole bunch 71 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: of esclamation points in a book so funny. As a 72 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: matter of fact, they make a Seinfeld reference in the story. 73 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: If we believe Wikipedia's page picture, Judge Leon, who was 74 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: appointed to the US District Court in DC nearly twenty 75 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: five years ago by George W. Bush, actually looks like 76 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: Seinfeld's George Costanzan disguise. He previously worked as a hand 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: model for the New York Yankees, as an architect, and 78 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: as an unknown capacity at Vandalay Industries. He also loves 79 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: using esclamation points in his opinions. Four times he refuted 80 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: the White House arguments by saying please, as in, according 81 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: to defendants, any construction delay will undermine national security. 82 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 6: Please. 83 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: Other examples of the exclamatory function of Leon's judicial prose 84 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: the existence of a large whole besides the White House, 85 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: of course a problem of the president's own making. This 86 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: is clearly not how Congress and the former presidents have 87 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: managed the White House for centuries, and this court will 88 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: not be the first to hold that Congress has seated 89 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: its powers in such a significant fashion, and after all, 90 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: the White House does not belong to any one man, 91 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: not even. 92 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 6: A president. 93 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: Exclamation points. 94 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 6: In all of those there's. 95 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: A large percentage of the establishment, buttressed by boomers and 96 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: permanently terrified gen xers on social media who act like 97 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: Trump's attempts to build a grand ballroom at the White 98 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: House are akin to him tearing down the Rose Garden 99 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: to make way for a crematorium for illegal immigrants. This 100 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: is the people's house, they argue, even though most people 101 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: don't live there and will never go there exactly. The 102 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: renovation is privately funded and in the end will harm 103 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: no one. But the real headline here is that a 104 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: major judge has used exclamation points and is significant ruling 105 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: like he's a middle schooler writing a mash note. I 106 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: do exclaim the piece wraps up. We all know how 107 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: this will end. President Trump will ignore the court's ruling 108 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: and find a way around it. He's going to build 109 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: his big, beautiful ballroom, and then he and his administration 110 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: will say to Judge Leon by Felicia yesterday, this is 111 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: my favorite clip of the morning. 112 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 6: So fantastic. 113 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump yesterday like single handedly went and decimated 114 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,119 Speaker 1: in like one sentence the entire no king's premise, going 115 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: back to the protests that have taken place, this was, 116 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: I'll just play it for you. 117 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 8: They call me king, now do you believe it? No King, 118 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 8: I'm such a king. I can't get a bull room approved. 119 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 8: Pretty amazing. 120 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: I'm a king. 121 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 8: If I was a king, would be doing a lot more. 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 8: I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a 123 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 8: lot more of I was a king. 124 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 6: So great. 125 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's even more hysterical about that? There was 126 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: a commentator on CNN with all the talking heads, with 127 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: Scott Jennings, laying out all their ridiculous, tiny criticisms. I 128 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: mentioned this yesterday regarding the construction of the ballroom, and 129 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: that was one of them. She said, Oh, it's just 130 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: another example of Trump being king. 131 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 8: That they call me king. Now do you believe No King, 132 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 8: I'm such a king. I can't get a ball room approoved. 133 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 8: Pretty amazing. 134 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: I'm a king. 135 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 8: If I was a king, would be doing a lot more. 136 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 8: I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a 137 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 8: lot more of I was a king. 138 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: Yesterday, President Donald Trump unprecedented move ended up going to 139 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. As according to the Newsmax article, they 140 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: were casting doubt on Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship in 141 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: a constitutional case that was magnified by his presence. The 142 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: conservative and liberal justices Wednesday questioned Trump's order declaring that 143 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: children born to parents who are in the United States 144 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: illegally or temporarily are not American citizens, comports with either 145 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: Constitution or federal law. Trump, the first sitting president to 146 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: attend arguments at the nation's highest court, spent just over 147 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: an hour inside the court room for arguments made by 148 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: the Republicans administration's top Supreme Court lawyer, Solicitor General John Sower. 149 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: Trump heard sour face one skeptical question after another. Justices 150 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: asked about the legal basis for the order, voiced more 151 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: practical concerns. Now Clarence Thomas sounded the most likely among 152 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: the nine justices to side with Trump. How much of 153 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: the debates around the fourteenth Amendment had anything to do 154 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: with immigration, Thomas asked, pointing out now the purpose of 155 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: the amendment was to grant citizenship to black people, including 156 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: freed slaves. The justices are hearing Trump's appeal of a 157 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: lower court ruling from New Hampshire that struck down the citizens' restrictions. 158 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: One of the several courts have blocked them. They have 159 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: not taken effect anywhere else in the country. The Birthright 160 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: Citizenship Order, which Trump signed on this first day of 161 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: a second term as part of the Republican administration's abroad 162 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: immigration crackdown. Now, Trump's order would up end the long 163 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: standing view that the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, ratified back in 164 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty eight. Federal law since nineteen forty confer citizenship 165 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: to anyone born on American soil, with narrow exceptions for 166 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: children of foreign diplomats and those born to a foreign 167 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: occupying force. The Fourteenth Amendment was intended, as I mentioned 168 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: a moment ago, to ensure that black people, including former slaves, 169 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: had citizenship through the citizenship clause. It's more broadly written, 170 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: all persons born or naturalized in the United States are 171 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: subject to to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the 172 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: United States and of the state wherein they reside, it reads. 173 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: I'll get to more of what was broken down during 174 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: that yesterday the court hearing. I do want to share 175 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: this with you because the one Supreme Court justice who 176 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: just continues to show just how awful she is at being. 177 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 6: A Supreme Court justice. 178 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Of course, that would be Justice Katanji Jackson Brown arguing 179 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: for illegal aliens having birthright citizenship by saying that if 180 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: she steals somebody's wallet in Japan, she has allegiance to 181 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: that country.

Now, is 230 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 6: it shafer than alcohol? 231 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: Probably? 232 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 6: I disagree. 233 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: I love the moment where she says, does this not 234 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: mean no? 235 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 6: No, it doesn't. 236 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: And if it does mean that, therefore then ABC and 237 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: Dy Oh my gosh, somebody needs to ask her if 238 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: she thinks the world is flat? Don't leave me talkbacks 239 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: Twin City's News Talk from AM eleven thirty one oh 240 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: three five FM, talking about the Supreme Court casting some 241 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: doubt on Trump's bid to limit birthright to citizenship. Let's 242 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: get to a few of your comments before we continue 243 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: with what transpired yesterday during the Supreme Court hearing. 244 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 12: Oh my gosh, I'm just listening to you play that 245 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 12: clip with Kantaji Brown. 246 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 6: She sounds like Kamala Harris. 247 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 13: Yeah. 248 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 9: I seriously had to have been in the same class. 249 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 14: Well, please don't torture us anymore with her comments. 250 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 15: I'll lady, it affect the strategy to mobilize true in 251 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 15: it and I suffered a pressure. 252 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 14: Did that, lady, you just played take the Kamala Harris 253 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 14: speech making and point taking. 254 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,359 Speaker 2: Of course, Oh my god, what a word salad? How convoluted? 255 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 9: Good? 256 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 16: Right, John Devin, I've learned a long time ago. Just 257 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 16: because you have some high falutint law degree, you're not 258 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 16: a very smart person. 259 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 6: And in my opinion, the guy writing. 260 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 16: About the White House as a judge is an activist, 261 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 16: total emotional emotor. And Johnny Brown similarly, And these people 262 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 16: could go on j foxworthies, are you smarter than a 263 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 16: fifth grader? 264 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 6: And they would lose. 265 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: The Trump administration argues that the common view of citizenship 266 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: is wrong, asserting the children of non citizens are not 267 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and therefore 268 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: are not entitled to citizenship. The Court should use the 269 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: case to set straight the long enduring misconceptions about the 270 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: Constitution's mean, and this was according to the Solicitor General. 271 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: No court has accepted that argument. The lawyers for pregnant 272 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: women whose children would be affected by the order said 273 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court should not be the first to do so. Now, 274 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: more than one quarter of a million babies born in 275 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: the US each year would be affected by the executive order. 276 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: According to research by the Migration Policy Institute Pennsylvania State 277 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: University Population Research Institute. And this this wouldn't be retroactive either. 278 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: This would be moving forward for any children born of 279 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants from now again moving forward. Matt Walsh put 280 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: a post up online I wanted to share with you 281 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: the less argument for birthright citizenship. Absolutely insane. It's even 282 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: more insane when you consider that they actually don't believe 283 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: in your or my birthright. Remember, guys, we're on stolen land. 284 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: We don't belong here, according to them, Think her baby 285 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: whose parents got here from Guatemala ten seconds ago has 286 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: a birthright and is tied to this nation by blood 287 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: for all time. That's actually the position that they're taking 288 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: right now. It's so psychotic that you can't even argue 289 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: against it. It's like trying to have a political debate 290 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: with a dog. These people are not rational. Now listen, 291 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: my opinion obviously not brought to you by someone who's 292 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: a constitutional scholar by any stretch, however, just deploying common sense. 293 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: The Framers clearly didn't anticipate that birthright citizenship would become 294 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: a cottage industry. But you have some five hundred organizations 295 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: in China that essentially push for birthright tourism in the 296 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: United States. And while the scout has seemed critical, there 297 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: was some daylight in the day that might bode well 298 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: for Trump. The extrapolating of the way the Supreme Courts 299 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: were questioning the administration's attorney correctly would lead you to 300 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: believe that perhaps this isn't going to go the way 301 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: that Trump wants to go. However, I will share with 302 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: you this clip. This was Justice Alido talking about the 303 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: very issue of what I was just mentioning regarding different 304 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: nations and how they could go and take advantage of this. 305 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 17: Not subject to any foreign power is pretty straightforward. 306 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: So let me give you these examples. 307 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 17: A boy is born here to an Iranian father who 308 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 17: has entered the country illegally. That boy is automatically an 309 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 17: Iranian national at birth, and he has a duty to 310 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 17: provide military service to the Iranian government. Is he not 311 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 17: subject to any foreign power? 312 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 12: Not within the meaning of the eighteen sixty six Act 313 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 12: to solido. And that's clear from wonkym Mark, and it's 314 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 12: clear from the debates what the framers meant by the 315 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 12: phrase not subject to any foreign power was referring to 316 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 12: the ambassador exception. If it meant what the government contends, basically, 317 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 12: not a subject. 318 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 9: Of any foreign power, that. 319 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 12: You were, that another country considers you a you sanguineous citizen, 320 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 12: then lawful permanent residence all for a national, ordinary, public, 321 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 12: ordinary public. 322 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 17: Meaning of that would certainly encompass that boy, would it not, 323 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 17: Justice Aldo. 324 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 12: If you think that the language of the eighteen sixty 325 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 12: six Act was ambiguous, as Wang kim Mark says, the 326 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 12: shift to the language of the fourteenth Amendment, which is 327 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 12: the operative text, certainly clears up any ambiguity. 328 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 17: What I said about a boy born to an Iranian 329 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 17: father is true of children born here to parents who 330 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 17: were nationals of other countries. If I'm correct, It's true 331 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 17: to a child who's born here to Russian parents. 332 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: It's true to. 333 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 17: A child who's born here to Mexican parents. They're automatically citizens, 334 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 17: are nationals of those countries and have a duty of 335 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 17: military service. Insures seems like that's a that makes them 336 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 17: subject to a foreign power. 337 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 12: But again, Justice Lato, that would have meant that the 338 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 12: children of Irish, Italian and other immigrants, which one Kumark 339 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 12: refers to, and the debate the Framers refer to would 340 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 12: not have been citizens either, because if the only test 341 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 12: is whether that US born child is considered a citizen 342 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 12: by another country under their usanguinis laws, then no foreign 343 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 12: nationals children. 344 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 17: Well, in all of those cases, the parents could be 345 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 17: naturalized and then the children would be derivatively nationalized naturalized when. 346 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: When the parents were naturalized. 347 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: We're going to switch gears coming up again, and that 348 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: was Justice Alito during the Supreme Court hearing yesterday on 349 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: birthright citizenship, and so at the moment again, the justices 350 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: appear to be critical of what the administration was attempting 351 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: to lay out, but we'll see ultimately what their decision was. Well, 352 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: turn our attention over to your tax related questions.

One of the things I think a 363 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 18: lot of people don't understand about birthright citizenship is it's 364 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 18: not just giving the right to the child, it's giving 365 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 18: the rights to their undocumented parents, and then their parents 366 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 18: can also bring in other children, and then they can 367 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 18: also bring in extended family. It's the case it's not 368 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 18: just one child and their two parents, it's they can 369 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 18: bring in a lot more people than just the baby. 370 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 14: Hey, John, it just shows how corrupt the whole government is, 371 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 14: even when it comes down to the Supreme Court. The 372 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 14: simple fact of the matter is that Chinese have buildings 373 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 14: full of pregnant women in the United States that people 374 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 14: pay big money to go to these hotels just so 375 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 14: they can give birth to their children in the US. 376 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 14: And that is a fact. And it's not just the Chinese. 377 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 14: There's alts, multiple countries that are doing it. So yeah, 378 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 14: our government is corrupt to the core. 379 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: Good morning.

He's like, yeah, I had a free moment. 448 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm in Italy right now. If you want me to 449 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: give you a call. I'm like, you know, why don't 450 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: you just go ahead and continue with your travels. I'm 451 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit later on, but I 452 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you now that just it just popped 453 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: into my head. Uh, there's this this ketchup that you 454 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: can do that that that they're offering right now when 455 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: it comes to your to your four oh one K. 456 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: What what is that I've been trying to get to 457 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: the details, and I did my own little research on it, 458 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: but it was like near impossible to get to the 459 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: core of what this four oh one k ketchup is. 460 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 19: And the problem is there's so many different retirement programs. 461 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 19: You can't have one program for wage earners and one 462 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 19: program for self employed people. There's got to be six 463 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 19: or eight different programs that mix and max all these 464 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 19: different benefits, which is one of the one of the 465 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 19: examples of the insanity of the tax code. Why can't 466 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 19: you have just one or two programs? Why do you 467 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 19: need seven or eight? Well, the ketchup is very simple. 468 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 19: If you if you reach a particular age. I believe 469 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 19: the age is fifty five, but I'm not sure that either. 470 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 19: But when you reach it, when you reach a particular age, 471 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 19: you you're entitled to increase your contribution to your four 472 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 19: to one K or your IRA. It's called ketch up 473 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 19: because you've reach that you've reached that magic age where 474 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 19: you're getting old now and you're getting closer to your 475 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 19: retirement age, and it's an opportunity to more richly fund 476 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 19: your retirement plan without a penalty for over contribution. 477 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: Gotcha, Okay, So there was limitations on your contributions and 478 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: this gives you an opportunity to pull more from your 479 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: paycheck on a monthly basis. I was talking about this 480 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and I also wanted to get 481 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: your thoughts and then we'll get to some of these 482 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: emails talking with our tax guru, Dan Pilla. But there 483 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: were some suggestions regarding the concerns over social security in 484 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: and of itself. 485 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 6: We've been hearing this for years. 486 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: That is just not going to be the money's not 487 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: going to be there given I think it was like 488 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: twenty thirty two or something like this, But there was 489 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: a suggestion that somebody had made wherein they would limit 490 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: the amount of money that they say, you know, rich 491 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: retirees two one hundred thousand could go and gain off 492 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: of their social security. 493 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 6: Have you seen that and you have any thoughts on it? 494 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 19: Listen, there's been all kinds of different proposals to fund 495 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 19: social Security and to make the system. So the social 496 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 19: security system is going has been going broke for fifty years. John, 497 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 19: It's actually unsound. It's been actually unsound from day one. 498 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 19: There's no question about that. But the question is what 499 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 19: are they going to do? I'll tell you what they're 500 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 19: going to do. They're going to print the money that 501 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 19: is necessary to fund Social Security benefits off into infinity. 502 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 19: There is no way that, there's no way that anybody 503 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 19: in the federal government, whether you're a Democrat Republican president, 504 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 19: doesn't make any difference with what it is, is going 505 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 19: to step up and say we're going to stop providing 506 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 19: Social Security benefits, because the outcry would be so incredible. 507 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 19: I paid that money in, that's my money. I have 508 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 19: an accountant Washington, none of which is true. Of course, 509 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 19: Well it's true that you paid it in, but it's 510 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 19: not true that you've got an account in Washington with 511 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 19: your name on it it's got all your money in it. 512 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 19: That's simply not true. Social Security is a welfare benefit. 513 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 19: It always has been a welfare benefit. It's funded by 514 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 19: current tax revenue. That's the way the system works, and 515 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 19: so they can change the benefits whenever they want to. 516 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 19: There's no way that anybody's going to stand up and 517 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 19: say we're going to stop paying your Social Security because 518 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 19: you know, just because we don't. 519 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: Have the money. 520 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Is there any movement whatsoever to and I know what 521 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: you just said, and so I'm going to be counter 522 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: to what you just said. 523 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 6: Let me add an element to it. Is there any way, 524 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 6: because I. 525 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: Laid out this scenario earlier in the week when I 526 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: was talking about it, and my scenario was pay out 527 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: the individuals that have already paid into it, but then 528 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: stop taking Social Security. 529 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 6: At a certain point moving forward. 530 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: For workers, let us have that money back, and let 531 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: us decide on our own just eliminate it without affecting. 532 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 6: The individuals that have already paid into it. 533 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 19: All right, Well, we got to start with the premise, John, 534 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 19: that there is no money in Washington in a bank 535 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 19: account with your name on it, all right, So you 536 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 19: don't quote unture have money saved. 537 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 6: It's just on the website when I look at it, right. 538 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 19: Right, it's right. All it is is digits on a 539 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 19: piece of paper. Right, There's no bank account with your 540 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 19: name on it. Here's what we have to do. We've 541 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 19: got to dial back the benefits actuarily. 542 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is real simple. 543 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 19: Let's say you're sixty five years of age, all right, 544 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 19: you qualify for full benefits or sixty seven whatever the 545 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 19: county is, right, Let's just say sixty seven, all right, 546 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 19: So now you got full benefits. That person needs to 547 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 19: be paid based on the benefits they earned over the 548 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 19: course of their lifetime. 549 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: They have to be paid. 550 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 19: A sixty year old person might get ninety eight percent 551 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 19: of those benefits, a forty year old person might get 552 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 19: eighty percent of those benefits. And we dial it down 553 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 19: actually so that a twenty year old today is not 554 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 19: going to get any benefits. That twenty year old today 555 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 19: has to provide for their own retirement. But at the 556 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 19: same time, that twenty year old can't be required to 557 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 19: pay the so called Social Security contribution, which is not 558 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 19: a contribution at all. It's an extraction right in the 559 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 19: guise of a contribution. It's a tax. It's just another 560 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 19: payroll tax. But that person has to be given full 561 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 19: opportunity to take that money, put it into their own 562 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 19: retirement account, save it in their own own retirement account 563 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 19: over the period of their lifetime, after which, by the way, 564 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 19: they would probably have seven figures worth of savings that 565 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 19: they could pass on to their heirs, to their spouse, 566 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 19: to their children, which you can't do with your Social 567 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 19: Security benefits, John, You got to live to the next 568 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 19: month to get a dying from Social Security so you 569 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 19: pay in Social Security your entire life, you qualify for 570 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 19: benefits at say age sixty seven, and you die a 571 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 19: month later, you get nothing. The death benefits two hundred 572 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 19: and fifty five dollars. 573 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: It's a joke. 574 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 19: And you know your spouse only gets the hire of 575 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 19: your kind of your benefit or her benefit, whichever is greater. 576 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 2: She doesn't get both of them. So that's not an 577 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: asset that you have. 578 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 19: You've paid this tax your entire life and you get 579 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 19: no benefit that can be passed on to your heirs, 580 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 19: whereas if we have private accounts, those could be passed on. 581 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: To the heirs. 582 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 6: I like the idea of being able to get it 583 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 6: all up front. I know it's never going to happen, 584 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 6: but I do like that idea. 585 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: So talking what's after your udine and Pillar Tax help 586 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: online dot com is the website. 587 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 6: Let's go to the email. 588 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: And Peggy asked, this, is there any way to legally 589 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: not pay taxes? 590 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 6: And since we now all know that ninety of. 591 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: Our money is going to nothing but fraud, I mean, 592 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: if none of us pay taxes, there will be no 593 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: money available for any more fraud. Before you before you 594 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: answered that really quick to me. 595 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 6: Added as slipping to this. I didn't realize this. 596 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: I was. 597 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: I heard Dave Ramsey on a clip that I was 598 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: watching online that it's it's illegal to not file your taxes, 599 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: but not illegal if you don't pay your taxes. 600 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: Well that's not true. 601 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 6: Oh, it's not true. 602 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 2: That's all right. 603 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 6: So to Peggy's point. 604 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 19: There's a criminal penalty for failure to file the return. 605 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 19: There's also a criminal penalty for failure to pay the tax. 606 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 19: Oh okay, right, so, and there's criminal penalties for tax 607 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 19: evasion and tax fraud return and. 608 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: I wasn't planning on so. So the short answer. 609 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 19: Is you don't have the latitude to say to the 610 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 19: IRS or the State of Minnesota that, because of the 611 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 19: level of fraud, I'm not going to pay. 612 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: Are you just listen. 613 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 19: I've had that question six thousand times great eighteen months 614 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 19: because of the level of fraud and the state people 615 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 19: are so frustrated. There's not a tax payer out there, 616 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 19: John that is not completely frustrated with the State of 617 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 19: Minnesota in the fraud level that's going on here, which 618 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 19: you know more about than anybody I know. But the 619 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 19: thing is this, that's non excuse for not paying the tax. 620 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 19: You still have that affirmative duty to pay, and you're 621 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 19: not going to It's not going to be a defense 622 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 19: either to civil penalties or criminal penalties to say, hey, 623 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 19: the states, the state's loaded with fraud. Why should I 624 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 19: have to pay tax? 625 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: Guru Dan Pillas in the studio with us Weldon. Ha's 626 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: a question, does a person who is self employed and 627 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: does not employ others have to pay the paid family 628 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: medical leave taxes both employer and employee portions. If they 629 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: took the leave, there would be no business conducted during 630 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: that time period. 631 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 6: So what are your thoughts on. 632 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 19: Well, well, every business has to pay to pay the 633 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 19: medical leave tax. 634 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 2: There's no question about that. 635 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 19: It's based on what based on whatever the percentage of 636 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 19: the assessment is, and it just doesn't make any difference 637 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 19: that you're not paying a employee per se. As a 638 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 19: self employed person, you've got that responsibility and that at 639 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 19: the federal level, the self employed person pays the self 640 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 19: employed tax, which is the Social Security tax, at twice 641 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 19: the rate that employees pay. Employees pay at seven point 642 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 19: sixty five percent, self employed people pay at double that rate, 643 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 19: fifteen and a half. So it's it's some people are 644 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 19: everybody's treated equally, John, It's just that some people are 645 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 19: more equal than others. 646 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: What do your thought We haven't talked about this, but 647 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: I'd be curious your thoughts on the paid family medical. 648 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 19: It's another way of squeezing businesses and driving productive people 649 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 19: out of the state. 650 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 6: Let's get to a few let me say this ahead. 651 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 2: I didn't mean to step on you, but no, no, there's a. 652 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 19: Fundamental economic premise that we need to understand, and that 653 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 19: is what you tax, you get less of. What you 654 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 19: subsidize you get more of. Right, this is just fundamental economics. 655 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 19: When you tax businesses as a result of their having employees, 656 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 19: you will get fewer businesses having employees. When you subsidize 657 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 19: people to stay home and not work, you will get 658 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 19: more people staying home and not working. What you tax 659 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 19: you get less of, what you subsidize, you get more of. 660 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 2: It's that simple. 661 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: Now, I know there are a few things that you 662 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: want to do. Mention in your recent newsletter, you had 663 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: nineteen things to keep in mind for the tax filings 664 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: this year. 665 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 6: Let's run through a few of them. We don't have 666 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 6: time for all nas days. 667 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: But you don't want to spend three hours and go 668 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 2: through nineteen. 669 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: I mean we could. I'm not sure that Glenn Beck 670 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: would approve. But so first off, let's start with the 671 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: first one you had on the list. Let's do the 672 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: top three here. The do date on the return, the 673 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: due date on the return is April fifteenth. There's no 674 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: holiday or there's no The April fifteenth date does not 675 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: fall on a Saturday or Sunday. So the April fifteenth 676 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: date is the deadline there's been this year. There's been 677 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: no administrative extension of the date. 678 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 2: In the past. 679 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 19: The IRIS has extended the date for this reason or 680 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 19: that reason, and COVID most comes to mind most recently. 681 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 19: But April fifteenth is the drop dead date. Now you 682 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 19: can get an extension on that date. John, if you 683 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 19: use IRIS Form forty eight sixty eight four eight six eight, 684 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 19: you can get an automatic extension of up to six 685 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 19: months to file that tax return without penalties, as long 686 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 19: as you file it within the extended DO day, which 687 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 19: then would be October fifteenth. There's no failure to pay 688 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 19: or i'm sorry, failure to file or late filing penalty 689 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 19: that goes along with that. 690 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 2: So that's extension is available. 691 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: But the filing extension does not extend the payment deadline. 692 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. 693 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 19: And this is very important because most people that file 694 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 19: an extension, that submit the extension to get the filing 695 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 19: extension are doing it because they owe money that they 696 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 19: can't pay. But that's not the key to solving the problem. 697 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 19: If you get a filing extension, you still owe the 698 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 19: money by April fifteenth. The secret there, john is to 699 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 19: use IRIS form eleven twenty seven. Form one one two 700 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 19: seven is called an applic cation for an extension. 701 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 2: Of time to pay the tax. 702 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 19: That form needs to be filed by April fifteenth. 703 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 2: You need a reason. 704 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 19: The filing extension is automatic, but the payment extension is 705 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 19: not right. So you need a reason, and you have 706 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 19: to explain to the Irs that you exercised ordinary, reasonable 707 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 19: business care and prudence in providing for your tax. In 708 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 19: other words, you did the things that a reasonable person 709 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 19: would do, knowing that you have to pay this liability, 710 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 19: but due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control, you couldn't 711 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 19: pay on time. Right, Maybe a medical problem, illness, injury, fire, flood, 712 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 19: any of those types of things that would put you 713 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 19: into a position where you have to literally make a 714 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 19: choice between paying your taxes and feeding your family. That's 715 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 19: the kind of hardship that needs to be shown to 716 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 19: get that extension. It's discretionary, it's not automatic. So the 717 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 19: IRS is going to respond to you and say, well, 718 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 19: we'll maybe we'll give you the six months, maybe we'll 719 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 19: give you four months. Maybe the answer is no, we're 720 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 19: not going to give you any additional time. 721 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: All right. 722 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 19: In that situation, if you've got a liability that you 723 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 19: can't pay now, you can use Form ninety four sixty five. 724 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 19: Form nine four sixty five is called an application for 725 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 19: an application for an installment agreement where you can pay 726 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 19: the taxes over time. 727 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: Do you have just a quick question for you, because 728 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: I always do my taxes right away. Do you have 729 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: any advice for an individual when they should when they 730 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: should file if they're not having any issues in terms 731 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: of paying it and it's just sort of a normal year. 732 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: Do you have any suggestions on whether it's better to 733 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: file early or whether it's better to file closer to 734 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: the filing date. 735 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 19: Well, there's been all kinds of wives tales over the years, 736 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 19: John about filing a return, get an extension, and file 737 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 19: your return in October because the IRS makes all their 738 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 19: determinations as to who they're going to audit after April fifteenth, 739 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 19: but before the die. It's all nonsense. Stuff is all nonsense. Right, 740 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 19: file the return as soon as you can file the return. 741 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 19: If you need time because you're missing records, or or 742 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 19: there's any kind of event that's going on in your 743 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 19: life where you can't get the return filed, get the 744 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 19: extension and file by. 745 00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: The October deadline. 746 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 19: If the IRS is holding your money, as they do 747 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 19: in about eighty percent of the cases, right wagejoarners overpay 748 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 19: their taxes, file returning gets your money back. 749 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: They're not paying the interest, and file on time even 750 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 1: if you can't pay right well. 751 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 19: Especially especially because here's the problem. The penalty for failure 752 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 19: to pay the tax is a percent a month up 753 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 19: to a maximum of twenty five percent. The penalty for 754 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 19: failure to file the return is five percent a month 755 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 19: for five months maximum and twenty five percent. So if 756 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 19: you owe money to the IRS, all right, you're going 757 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 19: to face that failure to pay penalty. If you don't 758 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 19: file the return because you don't have the money, you've 759 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 19: doubled the penalty, right, You've added insult to injury in 760 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 19: a big way, so the IR. And this is how 761 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 19: the IRS takes a difficult situation and turns it into 762 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 19: an impossible one, right by loading on the penalties and 763 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 19: interest to somebody who couldn't pay in the first place. 764 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: That was one of the things during the what I 765 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: call the dark years. It's really worth that dark But 766 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: I was, you know, single at the time, living alone 767 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: and just let me guess, going to the clubs and 768 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: not being very fiscally responsible. But he used to always 769 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: make me laugh. How it reminds me of when you 770 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: get the overdraft charge. 771 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 6: It's like, well, why are you charging me extra? I 772 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 6: couldn't pay that in the first place. 773 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: So what made you think they had the extra money 774 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: for the penalty? 775 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 2: Well? 776 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 6: First, well, now here's the thing with the penalties, and 777 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 6: this is. 778 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 2: What people need to understand with the penalties. 779 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 19: The penalties are are there to provide a deterrent to 780 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 19: deliberately negligent behavior. 781 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 2: This is what we have to understand. 782 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 19: The overwhelming majority of people that are in trouble with 783 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 19: the IRS. 784 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 2: Staurant did not wake up one morning and say. 785 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 19: To themselves, how can I piss off the IRS? 786 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 2: Today? 787 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 20: Oh? 788 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 19: I know I'll stop filing my tax returns and paying 789 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 19: my taxes. 790 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 2: That that'll teach them. 791 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 19: No, No, we've got that sentiment going on in Minnesota 792 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,720 Speaker 19: because of the fraud. But basically, that's not what happens 793 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 19: with people. They get themselves into a position where life 794 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 19: is throwing them a curveball, and now they have to 795 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 19: make a decision between paying their taxes and feeding their family. 796 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 19: That's not the liberately negligent conduct, all right. That's the 797 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 19: situation where circumstances beyond your control push you into a 798 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 19: position where you couldn't pay on time. In that case, 799 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 19: the penalties don't apply. And this is something I talk 800 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 19: about at length of my book, How to get tax 801 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 19: amnesty is how to get rid of the penalties that 802 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 19: the IRS adds to a bill. I've heard people tell 803 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 19: me a thousand times, I can pay my taxes, it's 804 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 19: the penalties and interests that are killing me. How do 805 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 19: I get rid of the penalties and interest Well, you 806 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 19: have the right to seek cancelation of the penalties based 807 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 19: on that reasonable cause standard. Did you deliberately disregard your 808 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 19: obligations or were there circumstances beyond your control that prevented 809 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 19: compliance if it's the latter as the case, and you know, 810 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 19: virtually every situation the penalties have to be canceled and 811 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 19: the IRIS will cancel the penalties. We have a tremendous 812 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 19: success over the years in getting rid of penalties. And 813 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 19: when the IRIS cancels the penalties, they cancel it interest 814 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 19: on the penalties, and that reduces the liability quite considerably. 815 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 6: Just don't tell the irs which party you belong to. 816 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 6: Say that again, so just don't tell the irs which 817 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 6: party you belong to. Let's get to a few. 818 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,959 Speaker 1: More of you your questions from the iHeartRadio app again. 819 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: Dan Pillar our tax Gurreau tax help online dot com 820 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: is his website. 821 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 20: What is the recommendation for taking advantage of no taxes 822 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:20,720 Speaker 20: on tips for ten ninety nine employees? I was hoping 823 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 20: to take advantage of it because I do grocery delivery 824 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 20: and my husband does uber. But it seems that that 825 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 20: is not an advantage that we can use under the 826 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 20: big beautiful bill. 827 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think it is. 828 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 19: I think self employed people are taxed on their income, 829 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 19: whether it's tip income or not. The exclusion on tip 830 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 19: income is for employees that are in typically service related Industries. 831 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 15: Hi Grant from Champlain Here. One thing I've heard about 832 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 15: the post office is that you cannot drop your taxes 833 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 15: off in April fifteenth by just putting it in a 834 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 15: slot at the post office, because it might not actually 835 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 15: be postmarked to fifteenth. What you have to do is 836 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 15: either do a few days before or go into the 837 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 15: office and get a stamp at the counter. 838 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 6: I hope that guy feels better. 839 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 19: It sounds like you have a well, first of all, 840 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 19: don't do any of those things, all right, Never drop 841 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 19: your tax return in a slot and hope, against hope 842 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 19: that it gets postmarked and delivered properly. The responsibility to 843 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 19: file a tax return is an affirmative duty on the taxpayer, 844 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 19: and the responsibility to prove that you filed the tax 845 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 19: return is an affirmative duty that's put on the taxpayer. 846 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 19: So if the IRIS challenges you at some point along 847 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 19: the way that says, well, you didn't file your return, 848 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 19: you have to prove you filed it, right. So I 849 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 19: have always recommended I mean this is I've recommended this 850 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 19: for as long as I've been doing this, John, which 851 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 19: is north of forty five years. Send your TA if 852 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 19: you mail your tax return through the paper mailing process. 853 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 19: Mail it certified mail or US Priority mail with tracking, 854 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 19: so that you have proof of mailing and maintain that 855 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 19: proof of mailing. Here's the thing that people don't understand, 856 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 19: and they get blindsided by this all the time. The 857 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 19: burden of proof, as I said, is on the taxpayer 858 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 19: to prove that you file the tax return. Normally, the 859 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 19: IRIS is three years from the date a return has 860 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 19: filed in which to audit that return. If after three years, 861 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 19: they can't audit the return. So if you can prove 862 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 19: you filed your return on X date, right, that three 863 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 19: year clock starts running. But if the return was not filed, John, 864 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 19: there is no three year clock. They can audit the 865 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 19: return after six years, ten years, twenty years. They don't 866 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,240 Speaker 19: go back that far, but they can. And the burden 867 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 19: of proof is on you to show that you file 868 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 19: the return. So if the IRIS shows up one day 869 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 19: six years from now and says, oh, John, you didn't 870 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 19: file your twenty twenty five tax return and you say, yes, 871 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 19: I did, they say prove it. 872 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 2: How are you going to prove it? 873 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 19: If you didn't send a certified mail or US Priority 874 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 19: mail with tracking, don't drop your tax return in a 875 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 19: slot someplace. 876 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 2: Get proof of mailing. 877 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 19: Now, most people are filing their returns electronically through their 878 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 19: tax pros. That's fine, but you need to get proof 879 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 19: of filing from the tax professional. When the tax professional 880 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 19: submits that tax return, they get confirmation from the iris's 881 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 19: computer system that the return was received. See one or 882 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 19: two things can happen when a tax returns filed electronically. 883 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 19: It's either received by the IRS or it's rejected. If 884 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 19: it's rejected, your return is not filed, right, So you 885 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 19: got to get proof from your tax pro that that 886 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,479 Speaker 19: return was accepted for processing. Now you've got your proof 887 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,280 Speaker 19: of filing. If the return is rejected, man, you didn't 888 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 19: file a return. 889 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 1: Let's sneak in one more question from the iHeartRadio app 890 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: as we talk with Dan Piller, our task gurg this morning. 891 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 21: I hear tax agencies advertise all the time that they 892 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 21: can handle your tax issue if you have to get 893 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,439 Speaker 21: fined by the IRS and that cause you to pay 894 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 21: less than you according to the IRS. 895 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 2: What you actually know is that true? Does that work 896 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,760 Speaker 2: in or is that a waste of time? 897 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 19: Well, I'm not sure what he's asking exactly, but there 898 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 19: are there are firms out there that will say that 899 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 19: if they made a mistake on your tax return, they 900 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 19: will pay the interest in the penalties, but not the 901 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 19: additional tax. 902 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 2: And that's fine. 903 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 19: That's a business decision, and that's okay if they made it. 904 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 19: If they made a mistake in preparing your tax return 905 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 19: and now you owe more money to the IRIS as 906 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 19: a result of their mistake, they probably should pay the 907 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 19: interest in the penalties. 908 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: Do you get the most concentration of tax questions like 909 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 1: right now? 910 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 6: As people are heading towards towards the deadline every year. 911 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 19: Obviously people are more interested now, John, It's it's a 912 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 19: heightened awareness. 913 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 2: No question about that.
