Speaker 2: iHeartRadio App. My name is John Justice Devin and the

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: Master Control Booth. This morning, Dan Pilla, your taxi guru,

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: will be joining us in studio at seven thirty. You

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: can leave any questions that you might have tax related.

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: I really enjoy when we have Dan in being.

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: Able to answer your tax questions, because I certainly can.

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: So you can get those in early Justice at iHeartRadio

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: dot com. Or if you want to leave a talkback,

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: you can do that as well on the iHeart or

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: radio app. I'm keeping tabs of the tax related talkback

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: so you can get those in early if you'd like.

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: I do want to turn our attention back over to

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: the rhetorics surrounding ICE operations, the drawing down of Operation Surge,

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: and how Democrats just simply are uninterested in details or context,

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: but open up a benefic can of worms here regarding

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: the Save America Act.

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: So we have enough votes.

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Republicans have enough votes to move this to a vote,

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: but not enough to pass it through.

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: With JD.

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Vans being the tie breaking vote. There would need to

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: be some maneuvers regarding the filibuster that would have to

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: go and take place to make that happen, and I'll

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: address that more here in just a moment. We have

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: gotten into detail, especially on yesterday's show an hour one.

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: If you missed it, check out the podcast. I played

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: a clip though a moment ago of Kevin O'Leary on CNN.

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: I'll share a little bit with you in case you

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: missed it from the first hour of the show this morning.

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: Every metric every twenty four months ago, through this debate,

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: over and over again, when every country in the Nordic

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: countries in Europe, France, Switzerland, Canada, Australia solve this problem

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: decades ago. Hey, you got to be a citizen to vote,

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: You got to prove it.

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: We all agree at the table on that one too.

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: There's such advancement in technology to make sure there's no cheating.

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: We should implement it here and.

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: Get all this crapola over with. It's getting almost boring.

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: Every twenty four months Oh the election is rigged. Oh,

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: this guy's doing this, this guy's doing that.

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: No other country has this narrative.

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: Kevin, I agree with you. It's ridiculous. We talk about

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: this all the time. It's incredibly boring. But it's also

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: not an actual problem. Like when you look at the

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: statistics voting illegals voting is not an actual problem in

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: this country. You do need to show up.

52
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: You agree.

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Now Again, if it's not a problem, then just go

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: ahead and pass it. Like that argument just simply doesn't fly,

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: like so many of the arguments on the left, including

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 2: this one of it being already illegal. But let's go

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: ahead and let the talk back from the iHeartRadio app

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: brought to you by Lyndahl Realty, make this point for me.

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 6: John, it's already illegal to commit fraud, so there is

60
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 6: no fraud. You see, it's already illegal, so the frauds

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 6: are on an issue. Yep, there actually isn't a fraud issue.

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: That argument is ridiculous, just as ridiculous as we just heard.

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's at the gun control argument.

64
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: We talked about that capital that potential capital shooter yesterday.

65
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: You're not hearing about armed to the teeth unregistered firearms

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: didn't go through the proper channels to obtain those firearms

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: or the ammunition that went along with it, So great

68
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: job those laws did. We had a comment at the

69
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: end of last hour saying that they would like to

70
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: make it harder to vote, and I agree with the

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: sentiment more so to the point of you don't need

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: to make it as easy as going and mailing in

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: your ballot. It should be something you take pride in.

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: It should take a little bit of effort to go

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: and do so that you respect the process. But Democrats

76
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: have done everything they possibly can to devalue the process,

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: and that's de moralizing for a lot of individuals, on

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: top of individuals that are all already demoralized to the

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: point where they don't even want to go and vote

80
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: and don't even vote anymore, which kind of highlights the

81
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: point that I was making.

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 7: Wade, maybe would I stopped voting in Minnesota elections because

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 7: I know it doesn't matter.

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: Let me stop here really quick, Wade is going to

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: and no offense to you, Wade. I appreciate you listening.

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: You're a friend of the show, but I adamantly disagree

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: and I'll play your rationale here, But I adamantly disagree

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: that it doesn't matter. It absolutely matters. You can have

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: two things at once here. You can have an opinion

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: and what you're going to share and what I'll share

91
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: with the audience here in just a moment.

92
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: But you can still go and vote, and you should.

93
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: Because in order to go and make the changes necessary

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: that you want to see made in shoring up election integrity,

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: you need to go and win elections. And Republicans can

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: still win elections. We wouldn't even having the conversation about

97
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: the Save America Act if Republicans weren't still capable of

98
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: winning elections. We wouldn't have a divided legislature if Republicans

99
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: weren't capable of closing the ground. Here in Minnesota, the

100
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 2: Democrats in the DFL have not been winning with wide

101
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: mandate level margins. They're only winning by a couple of seats.

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: So when you don't get active in the process, you're

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: contributing to the problem.

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Regardless of what your rationale is.

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: I know it.

106
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 7: Doesn't matter because they don't count the vote properly.

107
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 6: I know it doesn't matter.

108
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 7: Because even when I do step up to volunteer and

109
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 7: help I see such your regularities, and those CNN witches

110
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 7: don't even realize that, yes, all that's illegal, so why

111
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 7: not verify, why not get id.

112
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: I respect your opinion, but it's really unfortunate that you're

113
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: not going on and getting involved in the process. And

114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: too many people feel that way, and that's what makes

115
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: it so difficult for Republicans to go and close those

116
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: tiny gaps in terms of the percentage of the number

117
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: of people that can actually go and vote on election

118
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: day and make a difference to put Republicans over the top,

119
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: because you're dealing with an opposition party that doesn't play

120
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: by any rules. You have morals, You know the difference

121
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: between right and wrong. You don't want to be a hypocrite.

122
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: You want to be able to look in the mirror

123
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: and stare at your family and know that you are

124
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: on the right side of these issues and you're not

125
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: compromising your own moral values in order to win elections.

126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: Democrats don't operate that way. They operate with their own

127
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: set of rules. They do not care about being hypocrites.

128
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: They don't care about spreading information excuse me, misinformation, and

129
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: they don't care about lying, and they're more than happy

130
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: to go and grab on to whatever ridiculous arguments are

131
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: put forward to help perpetuate those narratives.

132
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Case in point foe of the show, Ay.

133
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 8: More than zero for brainer Magi, you're not thinking again.

134
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 8: To get the Save Act passed, you'd have to nuke

135
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 8: the filibuster. What would that mean? Even the Liberals get

136
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 8: back in charge, they're going to steamroll everything you've done.

137
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: Let me stop here really quick. It doesn't just mean

138
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: nuking the filibuster. They can also do a talking filibuster.

139
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: We broke that all down on yesterday's show. It may

140
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: take a while, it may stall other actions that could

141
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: be taking place within the Senate, it may halt all

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: the other work being done. But there's an argument to

143
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: be made that the other work being done in the

144
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Senate right now may be meaningless if we don't pass

145
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: the Save America Act. So it's not just nuking the

146
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: filibuster to get this done. And in terms of Liberals

147
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: when they get back in charge, first off, what do

148
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: you care? But second, who's to say they wouldn't just

149
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: go and nuke it on their own because they would

150
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: have the power to do that if they were to

151
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: go and win the elections later this year. Now that's

152
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: very opinions on this. You don't have to agree, you

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: can be concerned about that. You can say I'd rather

154
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: see Republicans do the right thing and not nuked for

155
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: fear that the Democrats will go and exploit it and

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: not have to.

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: Go and do it.

158
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: But there's just as big of an argument to be

159
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: made that if they gain control, they can go in

160
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: nuke it other otherwise or use the talking filibuster as

161
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: I mentioned.

162
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 8: Plus, the Save ACG's going to be contested by pretty

163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 8: much every Democrat state.

164
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: So what so just because activist judges are going to

165
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: go and challenge the Save America Act, we just shouldn't

166
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: go and do anything about it. Well, you know, just

167
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: people aren'ting to agree with it, and judges are just

168
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: going to go and try to block it.

169
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 9: So I guess we just just not go ahead and

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 9: move forward with it, Okay. And no, it's not like

171
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 9: bind liquor. It's in the constitution. This isn't a poll tax.

172
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 9: Come on, guys, let's get a little smarter about this.

173
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 8: Is there not the same thing, and its disenfranchise millions

174
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 8: of women that are getting married.

175
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: Save sentence Republicans MAGA get a little smarter, and then

176
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Eric goes and presents one of the most stupid, ridiculous

177
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: arguments of millions of women getting married or disenfranchised with

178
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: the Save America Act. Well, you're really insulting. I'm insulted

179
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: for women, Eric from Brainerd. I am insulted for the

180
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: women in this country that you don't think that they

181
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: are capable of navigating going and getting a marriage license

182
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: and making sure that they have the proper idea and

183
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: proving that they are a citizen. It's a wonder that

184
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: women can even go and get driver's licenses based off

185
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: of Erican Brainerd's mentality. But Democrats do not care about details.

186
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 2: They only care about the agenda. They only care about

187
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: putting forward whatever narrative they want to put forward. Let

188
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: me give you a couple of examples of this. So

189
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: this is uh James tell Rico. He's running in the

190
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: primary against Representative Jasmine Crockett. Democrats are hoping to flip

191
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: the Senate seat in Texas. This is what he had

192
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: to say in a recent interview regarding ice. What's been

193
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: taking place here in Minnesota Again, Democrats. Keep in mind,

194
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: Democrats hate details, and case in point is this clip.

195
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 10: Well, Ice shot a mom in the face. Ice kidnapped

196
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 10: a five year old boy, Liam Ramos, and brought him all.

197
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: The way here to Texas.

198
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 10: Ice executed Alex Pretty in the street in broad daylight,

199
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 10: shooting him in the back. So this agency is out

200
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 10: of control. We have to impeach Secretary of Christy Nome.

201
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 10: We've got to haul these masked men before Congress so

202
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 10: the world can see their faces. I would not vote

203
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 10: to give this agency any more money. I would take

204
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 10: that money that they've put into this agency and put

205
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 10: it back.

206
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: Into our healthcare where it belongs.

207
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: It's incredible, like on his face, are those things correct?

208
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Ice shot a mom in the face? Okay, you could.

209
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: Extrapolate that based off of the shooting of Rene Nicole Good,

210
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: but you completely left out the entirety of the context

211
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: of what took place. Ice did not kidnap a five

212
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: year old boy. The fact that they continue to lie

213
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: over that story that's been debunked numerous times. Ice executed

214
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: Alex Pretty in the street in broad daylight. No, that

215
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: didn't happen either. Democrats just simply hate details, specifically when

216
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: they get in the way of the narratives that they

217
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: want to put forward. Asking to a few more of

218
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: your thoughts from the iHeartRadio app. Couple of responses to

219
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: Eric from Brainerd.

220
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 11: Eric, they're gonna get rid of the full Buster anyway,

221
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 11: They've already said they will, soul. Why should we not

222
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 11: get rid of the Troldbuster? Why do you support Democrat communists?

223
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 11: Please tell me.

224
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 12: I have had three daughters get married in the last

225
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 12: three years, and you have three in a row, and

226
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 12: they have all navigated by themselves how to get their

227
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 12: names changed.

228
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 13: Amazing, incredible vote.

229
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: That's absolutely incredible.

230
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: You must have raised them well if they were able

231
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: to navigate getting their names changed.

232
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

233
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 14: I always feel better listening to Eric.

234
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Eric puts the brain in Brainerd.

235
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 15: What your talkbacker fails to realize about. Once women get

236
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 15: married is on the actual marriage certificate has the woman's

237
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 15: maiden name, you know, the same one that's on the

238
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 15: birth certificate.

239
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 13: Thank you, Good morning, John. This is Chuck from GREENAOM.

240
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 13: Hey Jack, I find it ironic. I don't think women

241
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 13: are smart enough to transfer and get a proper ID,

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 13: but yet they're smart enough to be presidents and senators

243
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 13: and representatives.

244
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 5: Make it make sense?

245
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: Tax guru Dan Pillup will be joining us in studio

246
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: in the next segment here on Twin City's News Talking

247
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. If

248
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: you have any questions tax related questions, you can get

249
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: those in now just as at iHeartRadio dot com or

250
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: leave us a talkback.

251
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: I've been keeping track of these. This morning.

252
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: We have a couple of different things that we'll be

253
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: talking about specifically with Dan, including the potential of President

254
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his dividend tariff's tariff dividend. We'll get

255
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: his thoughts on that stimulus payments, are they actually going

256
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: to take place in his view on whether or not

257
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: we should have these tariff to dividends. So again, any

258
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: tax related questions for Dan, you can get those and

259
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: now justice at iHeartRadio dot com or leave us a

260
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: talk back on the iHeartRadio app.

261
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie.

262
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 16: I think it's so funny that they keep calling us racist, sexist,

263
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 16: and homophobic. You're racist, Black people are too dumb to

264
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 16: get IDA. You're sexist. Women are too dumb to be

265
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 16: able to get an IDA after they get married.

266
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: You're homophobic.

267
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 16: Well, only women can get married because they're too dumb

268
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 16: to be able to get an idea after they get married.

269
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 16: So you know, even if two guys get married, they'd

270
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 16: be smart enough to get their idea.

271
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: It's just so dumb, and.

272
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: In most circumstances those things would be really, really offensive,

273
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: But people don't get offended because they've just become accustomed

274
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: to that type of commentary coming from the left, that

275
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: level of hypocrisy, and speaking of false narratives, I want

276
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: to go here. There's an editorial. The Minnesota reformer j

277
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: Patrick Koligan Shill for the has written a piece regarding

278
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: the draw down in the Operation Metro Surge. The headline

279
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: is Minnesota one, Trump zero. What we and the rest

280
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: of America can learn from Trump's retreat. The first off,

281
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: right out of the gate, there is no retreat. There's

282
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: no evidence whatsoever that Operation Metro Surge is drawing down

283
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: because of the actions of the individuals who got in

284
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: the way of what they were doing when the operation

285
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: was fully underway. But it doesn't matter. They can go

286
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: and portray this however they like, even if it's not

287
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: root and in fact, the winner of twenty twenty six

288
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: Right School again will go down in state history among

289
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: our finest hours. What happened here will be studied by

290
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: social scientists and historians as one of the greatest victories

291
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: of non violent resistance in recent times. Wow, by what

292
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: standard are you reaching that conclusion? I mean ramming federal vehicles,

293
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: attempting to run over federal agents, throwing everything from snowballs

294
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: to urine filled water bottles, frozen water bottles, rubber mail,

295
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: anatomically correct body parts, breaking tail lights on vehicles, beating

296
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: up on law enforcement. But this was a nonviolent resistance.

297
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm two sentences into this thing. Minnesotan showed that brutality

298
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: and sheer numbers could not overcome communities that were united

299
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: in their opposition to the usurpers. People on the right

300
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: people are right to be skeptical about whether Trumpet's administration

301
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: and the immigration crackdown is ending as announced by Borders

302
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: are Tom Homan. But I am confident they are leaving

303
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: for a simple reason. They're losing. So in less than

304
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: six sentences, j Patrick Hoolikin went from this is one

305
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: of the finest hours. Studies will show what a great

306
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: victory it was against Ice too.

307
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: It may not be over and Ice is losing.

308
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: Okay, what happened and why it happened offer important lessons

309
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: for our future and for democracy defenders across the country.

310
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: So let's focus for a minute before we dance on

311
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: the grave of the authoritarian attempt. There was never an attempt,

312
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: an authoritarian attempt that never existed. For that to be true,

313
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: ICE wouldn't be leaving. They would have been taking over

314
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: institutions and establishing themselves permanently. They were never going to

315
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: do that. It was never a part of the mission.

316
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: And when Kulikan talks about what happened, let's look at

317
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: what happened and why it happened.

318
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: He leaves out I'm a spoiler.

319
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: He leaves out any context whatsoever to what ICE was doing,

320
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: what their operation was, and who they were arresting, and

321
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: why he says the resistance was communitarian.

322
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: It's almost cliche.

323
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: Minnesotans were looking out for their neighbors, be they immigrants

324
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 2: or people protecting them. Neighborhoods came together, just as they

325
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: did after the police murder of George Floyd and the

326
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: chaos had followed all during the pandemic. The lesson here

327
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: is get to know your neighbors. Resistance was also libertarian.

328
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: According to Koligan. When I talked to friends and family

329
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: around the country, I put it in these terms. Imagine

330
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: three thousand masked, heavily armed outsiders roaming around the community,

331
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: routinely racially profiling individual including off duty police. When when

332
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 2: you put it in these terms, americans around the country

333
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: got it. Blah blah blah, false narrative, blah blah blah,

334
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: blatant lies, YadA, YadA, YadA.

335
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: People were brainwashed.

336
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: He just regurgitated all of the same, lacking in context,

337
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: in details accusations that were made.

338
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: We never.

339
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: Got the full story behind the Brooklyn police chief and

340
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: the off duty police officers being stopped by Ice agents

341
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: that they had to bring press conference over everybody myself.

342
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: Others asked, well, what was the context? Did those officers

343
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: go and present idea? Did they let individuals know who

344
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: they were? Nope, it's no different than when they continue

345
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: to latch onto. And he gets into this in the

346
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: article the five year old that wasn't kidnapped, that wasn't

347
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: used as bait. They have no qualms whatsoever spreading information,

348
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: misinformation and lies. Then he says the resistance was nonviolent.

349
00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: Parentheses mostly okay, bullhorns of whistles, chance shouts, songs, mockery,

350
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: and marches were more effective than violence could ever be.

351
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: And again there is no evidence that ICE is ending

352
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: operations because of this resistance. It's like passengers, if you

353
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: were on an airline. It's like passengers on a plane

354
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: as a plane is coming in to land at MSP

355
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: and they start chanting on the plane. Land the plane,

356
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: land the plane, pilot land the plane, and everybody on

357
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: boards like, pilot, you paid put this plane on the ground,

358
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: You better go.

359
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: And land it. And then the pilot lands the plane safely,

360
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: and they all go, yay. We forced them to land

361
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the plane. We did this. The resistance of passengers forced

362
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: them to arrive to our destination safely.

363
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: He goes on to right. Non violent resistance helped to

364
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: win the battle for public opinion, which was crucial. A

365
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: NBC poll showed that two thirds of Americans believe the

366
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 2: Trump administration's immigration tactics have gone too far, with similar

367
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: numbers in Minnesota. According to another poll, here's what's interesting

368
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: about that, though I have a story here in front

369
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: of me from Center of the American Experiment. Common Ground

370
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: on immigration poll finds at eighty five percent of Minnesotan's

371
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: support cooperation between local police and federal immigration authorities.

372
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: Interesting, eighty five.

373
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: Percent of Minnesotans support cooperation between local police and federal

374
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: immigration authorities. You see, cooperation between federal and local authorities

375
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: is simply common sense, and it's bipartisan. When you go

376
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: and specifically talk about ICE, however, because Ice is included

377
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: in that. When you talk about this cooperation, that's who

378
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: they're referring to, local law enforcement and immigrations and customs enforcement.

379
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: Eighty five percent of Minnesotan's regardless of political affiliation. But

380
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: then when you specifically talk about ICE arresting lawbreakers, suddenly

381
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: common sense whoop goes out the window. Republicans remain consistent

382
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: their view of ICE and their efforts.

383
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: They support them because.

384
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 2: How can you want cooperation and yet not agree with ice. Democrats, however,

385
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: go all irrational about Ice because Democrats have told their

386
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: party that Ice is evil because Trump is deploying them.

387
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: You know, here's what an adult sounds like talking about

388
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: these issues regarding immigrations and customs enforcement. Here's Vice President JD.

389
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: Van's places that you mentioned.

390
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 17: Well, Martha, none of us like those videos that's in fact.

391
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 17: The point is, we don't want immigration enforcement to be chaotic.

392
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 17: In ninety nine percent of cases, you have a federal

393
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 17: law enforcement officer, they show up at a jail, or

394
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 17: they show up somewhere else, the identify a person who

395
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 17: needs to be deported, and they get him out of

396
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 17: our country.

397
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: That's how it should work.

398
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 17: Where you have that chaos in Los Angeles and Minneapolis,

399
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 17: it's because the local authorities are so committed to an

400
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 17: open border that they want to put law enforcement at risk.

401
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 17: We're not going to surrender to that. We're not going

402
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 17: to submit to that. We're going to be deliberate, We're

403
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 17: going to be smart. We're going to try to prevent

404
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 17: these chaotic scenes that, of course the Democrats used to

405
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 17: political advantage. But we're going to keep on enforcing the

406
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 17: border mark that. That's the mandate the American people gave us.

407
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: So I want to say something about AI. I haven't

408
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: heard you.

409
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 2: Talk about this, but that's what an adult sounds like

410
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: talking about these issues. This is what an irrational shill

411
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: for the Democrat Party and j Patrick Hoolicking sounds like

412
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: when talking about these issues. He says, we too often

413
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: think of authoritarians acting with impunity in the face of

414
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 2: all resistance. Nothing President Donald Trump says or seems to matter.

415
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: But this is not true.

416
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: Once the authoritarian loses popular legitimacy, it's only a matter

417
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: of time before the regime collapses.

418
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: Again.

419
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: There is no evidence whatsoever. As a matter of factor,

420
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: It goes the other way. If you had if you

421
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: didn't have all these idiots on the streets with their bullhorns, whistles, chants, shouts, songs,

422
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: mockery and marches with their urine filled water bottles and

423
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: rubber male appendages, ice probably would have been done with

424
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: their operation a week or two ago.

425
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: And long on.

426
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: J Patrick Cooligan then spends some six paragraphs attempting and

427
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: failing miserably to shore up his authoritarian regime claims. He

428
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 2: then gets into commentary about activist judges until you get

429
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: to the end of this piece, and it says a

430
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: lot of Democrats paused their endless factional disputes, or as

431
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: one militant leftist to post it on x last month, liberals, leftists, moderates, socialists,

432
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: communists and blanking all the rest have an opportunity to

433
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: come together and fight fascism. That means, for one, moment,

434
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: for the blanking moment not to be a dumb, blank

435
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: blank about factionalism and old the beefs just for now,

436
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: just for a bit. So Jane Patrick Hoolikin basically goes

437
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: all in lending credibility to the most anti American of

438
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: the left and then says, finally, respect localism. When the

439
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: FEDS chased a man at high speed through my neighborhood Wednesday,

440
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: which led to a three car wreck, I found myself

441
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: in a state of agitation and contempt for the usurpers

442
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: that was only matched previously by the killings of Renee

443
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: Good and Alex Pretty nothing about this individual being a criminal,

444
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 2: what he was wanted for evading police, the fact that

445
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: he was motivated and emboldened to evade police because of

446
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: this very attitude being put forward in this editorial. He

447
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: wraps saying, my final takeaway is that we ought to

448
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: be extremely humble when we seek to impose our will

449
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: on other people, communities, states, and nations. Now, let's spend

450
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: the weekend toasting and dancing in the streets. I'm gonna

451
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 2: take this moment and then we'll be joined by Dan

452
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: Pillar Taxi Guru answering your tax questions next. But I'm

453
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: wanna take this moment to remind everybody, including j Patrick Cooligan,

454
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four, there were

455
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: over six thousand arrests of illegal aliens by Immigrations and

456
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: Customs enforcement here in Minnesota, and you said nothing. You

457
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: said nothing in this piece about the criminals that are

458
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: now off the streets and behind bars. The movement and

459
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: its hatred of President Donald Trump and the right mean

460
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: more to DFL shills like Kulickan than facts and common sense.

461
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: If you have any questions for our tax guru, you

462
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: can get those in justice at iHeartRadio dot com or

463
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: leave us a talkback on the iHeartRadio app. We'll talk

464
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: with him next right here on twins Sday's News Talk

465
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM. All right,

466
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: it's always fun when we have tax Guru Dan Pilla

467
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: in studio. Good morning, Dan, Welcome to Twin Cities News Talk.

468

509
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: of a of a comment that rolled in the first

510
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: hour of the show, but I was curious to see

511
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: if you had any thoughts on it.

512
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 19: John's Matt from mord Berry. You say you mentioned taxes.

513
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 19: You know, in the past, I break even or maybe,

514
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 19: but this year, since there's no tax on overtime thanks

515
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 19: to Trump, I'm going to see about nine hundred dollars back.

516
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 19: Does work a lot of overtime as a nurse. So

517
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 19: just so info for your audience.

518
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: You know, I am curious Dan, you know your thoughts

519
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: on the tax moves that Trump has made, and specifically

520
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: that no tax on tips that apparently he gets to

521
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: take advantage of.

522
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 18: Well, yeah, first of all, it's not accurate to say

523
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 18: there's no tax on tips. Right, because there's a cap,

524
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 18: and I believe it's twelve five hundred dollars per individual

525
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 18: or twenty five thousand for.

526
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 5: Married filing jointly.

527
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 18: So any overtime over that threshold is going to be taxable.

528
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 18: So it's we need to understand that to start with.

529
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 18: All right, And so as far as I'm concerned, and

530
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 18: we you and I have talked about this during the

531
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 18: process of the development of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

532
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 18: I'm in favorite tax cuts, John Crow. I don't care

533
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 18: where they come from. I don't care what they look like.

534
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 18: I'm in favorite tax cuts. The more money that we

535
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 18: are able to keep in the hands of the American people,

536
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 18: the better off it is. And it's just I just

537
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 18: believe that's true across the board.

538
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: We had an email that rolled in from Keith and

539
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: he says, last year I was a member of a

540
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: class action lawsuit with my company where they settled and

541
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 2: started paying us mileage with back pay for previous years,

542
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: which was the government maximum per mile.

543
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: That's not taxable.

544
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: Do I have to pay tax on the back pay

545
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: of the reimbursement of the mileage?

546
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 18: Well, if you're getting reimbursed for expenses that came out

547
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 18: of your pocket, then that's not income. The question is

548
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 18: what is the language of the settlement? Are they paying you?

549
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 18: You use the word back pay. Does that mean that

550
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 18: they're paying you compensation for services rendered for services rendered?

551
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 18: Because if it's compensation for services, that's taxable. If they're

552
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 18: reimbursing you for out of pocket expenses, that would not

553
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 18: be taxable.

554
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: Let's go here to the iHeartRadio app.

555
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: Again, we have our tax guru, Dan Apila in studio

556
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: with us this morning, answering your questions.

557
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, guys, this is Vinnie.

558
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 5: I have a tax question.

559
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 20: The company I work for is giving this our annual bonus,

560
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 20: and with that bonus, they give us the option to

561
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 20: change our our withholdings on our w fours before we

562
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 20: get that bonus.

563
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: So currently I do is zero.

564
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 20: Wonder if there's any suggestions in regards to what to

565
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 20: do for a married.

566
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: Couple and zero children floating it out there for any ideas.

567
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dan, Pilly your thoughts.

568
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 18: Well, that's a good question, and it's a very common question,

569
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 18: and it's the question needs to be addressed this time

570
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 18: of the year, John, when we're on the threshold of

571
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 18: the new year, going forward, the majority of the American

572
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 18: people get a tax refund. As a matter of fact,

573
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 18: the statistics indicate that this year the tax refunds might

574
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 18: be as high as one thousand dollars more per taxpayer

575
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 18: than historically we have gotten. It's been about thirty one

576
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 18: hundred dollars average in the last couple two three four years.

577
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 18: Now we anticipate it might be as high as four

578
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 18: thousand dollars a taxpayer. And the reason for that is

579
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 18: because the tax cuts under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

580
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 18: All right, So here's the thing. You don't want to

581
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 18: get a refund from the government. If you get a refund,

582
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 18: that means you paid too much in taxes.

583
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 5: To begin with.

584
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 18: And the irs is holding your money for twelve for

585
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 18: more than twelve months, right, more like fourteen fifteen, sixteen months,

586
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 18: depending on when you file your tax return, and they're

587
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 18: holding that.

588
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 5: Money without interests.

589
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 18: So you don't get a refund from the government because

590
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 18: they got religion and decided to give you free money.

591
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 18: They're giving you your money back that you should not

592
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 18: have paid it in the first place. Now, when you

593
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 18: get any kind of bonus, any kind of distribution from

594
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 18: an employer, it's generally taxable income. Certainly a bonus in

595
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 18: this situation would be taxable income. And so you got

596
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 18: to ask yourself, what's that going to do to your

597
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 18: overall tax liability? Right, you want to have withholding sufficient

598
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 18: to cover the tax liability, but you don't want to

599
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 18: over withhold. So you got to do a little bit

600
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 18: of a calculation and figure it out based on the

601
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 18: facts and circumstances of your case. And you got to

602
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 18: look at the totality of the circumstances, not just I'm

603
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 18: married with no dependence. Okay, that's one thing, but do

604
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 18: you have itemized deductions as well, like mortgage interest and

605
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 18: charitable contributions, those types of things that would also operate

606
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 18: to reduce your tax library. All of these things have

607
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 18: to be taken into consideration, John, And people don't do it.

608
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 18: I mean people just they file that W four form

609
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 18: with their employer and they claim their marital status and

610
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 18: their dependent exemptions and then they forget about it. But

611
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 18: that W four form should be a living document. It

612
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 18: should change based on changes in your circumstances. Did you

613
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 18: get married or divorced, did you have a child born

614
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 18: to the family, or did a kid.

615
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 5: Go off to school.

616
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 18: Did you start a job, do you have a second job,

617
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 18: Did you start a retirement account? Are you taking withdrawals

618
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 18: from a retirement account? All of these things are different

619
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 18: based on individual citizens, and they all need.

620
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 5: To be factored in.

621
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: The website is tax help online dot com?

622
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:53,680

Speaker 1: Gotcha?

625
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm talking with Dan Pill. I have a question for you.

626
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: Just popped into my head because I did my taxes

627
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: this year. I should reach out to you. If I'm

628
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: missing a component to this, forgive me. But just now

629
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: I was just now reminded of it when you were

630
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: talking about owing versus getting a refund. I had a

631
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: new unique circumstance when I was doing my taxes, wherein

632
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: I had to pay more this year than I did

633
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: last year, and it like red flagged it and said

634
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: that because I was having to pay more over what

635
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: I did last year, it needed to have additional information.

636
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: Like when I got to the end of doing my taxes,

637
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: it says you need to go back and address why

638
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: it is you're paying more this year as opposed to

639
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: last year.

640
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Does this ring a bell at all?

641
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 18: Well, Well, there could be any number of reasons, John.

642
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 18: Maybe maybe there's no mortgage interest on your tax return anymore,

643
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 18: and so you lose that deduction. Maybe charitable contributions weren't

644
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 18: as high as they were the year before.

645
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 5: Maybe it made more money.

646
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 18: Rich guys like you pay off the taxes John because

647
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 18: of the big because of the big money. So there's

648
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 18: all kinds of different factors, and unless you look at

649
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 18: all the circumstances, it just could be anybody's guests.

650
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: I think there's having an older son who I'm no

651
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: longer claiming anymore. That's a big deal.

652
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 5: That's a big deal right there.

653
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 18: If you lost a deduction on your tax return for

654
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 18: a child that moved out, that that's a factor.

655
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: Email came in from Jason to Dan Pilla and says,

656
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: I hear from the Trump administration there's no tax on

657
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 2: Social Security. My accountant tells me that is not true.

658
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: What is the truth.

659
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 5: It is not true.

660
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 18: One of the big three provisions of the Big Beautiful

661
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 18: Bill Act before it became the actual Act, was that

662
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 18: Trump was going to eliminate taxes on Social Security, eliminate

663
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 18: all taxes on overtime pay, and eliminate all taxes on tips.

664
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 18: None of those three things happened. There is some exclusion

665
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 18: on tip income. There's some exclusion on overtime pay, but

666
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 18: there is no exclusion on Social Security. Instead, what they did, John,

667
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 18: is they gave what they call a bonus, a bonus

668
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 18: exemption for people that are sixty five years of age

669
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 18: or older. So it's not a bonus exemption, it's a

670
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 18: bonus standard deduction, enhanced standard deduction. That's the term they use.

671
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 18: I was fishing for it. Enhanced standard deduction is the

672
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 18: phrase they use. So, now, if you're sixty five years

673
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 18: of age, you're older, you get an additional six thousand

674
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 18: dollars on your standard deduction, and that's supposed to cover

675
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 18: some of the liability that occurs on Social.

676
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 5: Security, but that's phased out as well.

677
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 18: Right, So, if you're a high income person on Social Security,

678
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 18: and I believe in this case it's over seventy five

679
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 18: thousand dollars for individual or one hundred and fifty thousand

680
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 18: dollars for Mary, finally, jointly.

681
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 5: You don't get the benefit.

682
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 18: So high income people never get the benefit, John, of

683
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 18: these exemptions and breaks and deductions and so on.

684
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: Before we get back to more questions, let's dive into

685
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 2: a few things that you and I were planning on

686
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 2: talking about again. Dan Pillar tax guru joins us in

687
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: studio tax help online dot Com. There's a piece in

688
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: Fox nine stimulus payments, IRS, Direct Depositive Relief, tax, dividend,

689
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: tax refund checks, the move. They're basically going through various

690
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: things that were being proposed but haven't come to fruition yet.

691
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: So they talk about the potential of federal stimulus payments

692
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: for February of twenty twenty six this year, Congress hasn't

693
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: authorized any of these new stimulus payments. The IRS has

694
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: not announced any upcoming checks. The same thing rings true

695
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: for the potential of the doze at dividend payment proposals.

696
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: Those have never material loss.

697
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 18: They never materialized in these dividend checks. John, this just

698
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 18: completely floors me. What we're talking about here is the tariff.

699
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 18: They're so called tariff.

700
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: And that's that's the one I was going to get

701
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: in as.

702
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 18: President Trump was saying, Hey, we're collecting trillions of dollars

703
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 18: in tariff revenue, and we're going to give a two

704
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 18: thousand dollars tariff dividend to all of the taxpayers in

705
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 18: the country and give them. Well, first of all, they're

706
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 18: not collecting trillions of dollars in tariff dividend. Right, it

707
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 18: appears from the statistic, not appears the numbers from the statistics.

708
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 18: The numbers from the federal government indicate that there's been

709
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 18: about two hundred and twenty billion dollars in additional revenue

710
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 18: collected in and twenty twenty five. That's directly attributable to

711
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 18: tariff revenue. So it's not even a trillion dollars. All right,

712
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 18: We're talking about two hundred and twenty million dollars. Now,

713
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 18: that's a lot of money. Okay, that's fine. So additional

714
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 18: revenue to the federal government went up from about five

715
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 18: point one trillion in twenty twenty four to about five

716
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 18: point three trillion in twenty to about almost five point

717
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 18: four trillion in twenty twenty five. So about three hundred

718
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 18: billion dollars increased revenue. Only two hundred of it is

719
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 18: attributable tariffs. Right, So right there, we're not talking about

720
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 18: that much money. But here's the bigger problem, John, Even

721
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 18: if they wanted to distribute so called dividends, there is

722
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 18: no so called profit or surplus from which to distribute

723
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 18: the dividends. Because the spending went from six point seven

724
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 18: trillion in twenty twenty four twenty twenty four to seven

725
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 18: point one trillion in twenty twenty five. So the spend,

726
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 18: the spending has outcreased, the in outs has outpaced the

727
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 18: increase in revenue, and it's and there's no stopping it there.

728
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 18: So how are they going to refund a dividend when

729
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 18: there's no profit, there's no surplus from which to refund

730
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 18: the dividend. Congress continues to spend the American people into

731
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 18: debt faster than they're collecting any additional revenue anywhere, and

732
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 18: and and there's no stopping them. John, I don't know.

733
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 18: I don't see anybody trying to stop this.

734
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the argument would have to be that, you know,

735
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: we have this, we have this money coming in via

736
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 2: the the tariffs, right, but we're just going to ignore

737
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: the fact that we're spending more. I mean that that

738
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 2: that is essentially the logic that they would have to

739
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: put it forward.

740
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 18: That's exactly right, and we're not in the plus category.

741
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 18: And what would happen is exactly what happened during twenty twenty,

742
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 18: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one when Congress gave out

743
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 18: the stimulus checks, right, the twelve hundred dollars stimulus checks

744
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 18: that they gave out three times. I believe they did

745
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 18: it at least twice, probably three times, and it and

746
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 18: they just they just borrowed trillions of dollars to do it.

747
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 5: Pumped trillions of.

748
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 18: Dollars into the market into the marketplace during that two

749
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 18: or three year period of time, roughly eight or nine

750
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 18: trillion dollars to be precise. That caused rampant inflation. And

751
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 18: so they're going to do that again. That's what they

752
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 18: would have to do. They'd have to do it with

753
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 18: borrowed money, which is only going to make the economic

754
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 18: issues even worse.

755
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: Let's go back on to your questions again, tax help

756
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: online dot com that's Dan Philow's website.

757
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: Questions that you have for our tax guru.

758
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 14: Hi at a quick tax question both for federal and

759
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 14: state returns. I received a gift from my mom over

760
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 14: nineteen thousand in twenty twenty five?

761
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: Nice gift?

762
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 14: Am I going to be taxed on that? Either at

763
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 14: the state or federal level? I realize I have to

764
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 14: fill out the form that says I got a gift

765
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 14: over nineteen thousand? But do I have to pay any

766
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 14: taxes on that.

767
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I feel like he's going to be sad.

768
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 5: Well, it's not going to be said. It's good news

769
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 5: all the way around.

770
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

771
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 18: First of all, gifts are never taxable to the recipient.

772
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 18: Whether it's nineteen thousand or nineteen million, it doesn't make

773
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 18: any difference. The recipient never pays tax on the gift.

774
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 18: The donor may have a gift tax liability that depends

775
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 18: on the situation, right, And it's the donor that's required

776
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 18: to fill out a gift tax return if the amount

777
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 18: of the gift exceeds the threshold. The recipient never has

778
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 18: to do any of that.

779
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to this question.

780
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 2: It looks like of Steven Wrights, I can take up

781
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: to six thousand in a senior bonus deduction on my

782
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: federal income tax, but not on my Minnesota income tax.

783
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: Is that true, Dan?

784
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 5: Well?

785
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 18: And that's because the state of Minnesota, and all its wisdom, John,

786
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 18: the leftists, and the legislature decided not to pattern state

787
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 18: law after federal law. Generally speaking, as a practical matter,

788
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 18: states that have an income tax piggy back their income

789
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 18: tax system off the federal government.

790
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 5: Right.

791
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 18: So whatever Congress does, the states do as well, and

792
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 18: to keep it aligned, to keep it relatively simple.

793
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 5: All right.

794
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 18: Over the years, states have variously decided to opt out

795
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 18: of this particular provision, of that particular provision. And of course,

796
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 18: the leftists in the state of Minnesota don't want anything

797
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 18: to do with any of the Trump tax cuts.

798
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's that's what happens.

799
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: Let's go here to the iHeartRadio app.

800
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 21: Yeah, this this dividend stuff that Trump's talking about, that

801
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 21: is something that I am dead set against. Pay down

802
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 21: the debt. Stop trying to buy votes by handing out

803
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 21: money the way other politicians have. It's it just doesn't

804
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 21: work and it doesn't do anything good for the company.

805
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 21: Pay down the debt, pay down the debt, pay down

806
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 21: the debt.

807
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 5: Well well, and I couldn't agree more.

808
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 18: And as I said earlier, there's no surplus anyway, so

809
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 18: there's nothing to give a refund with. And furthermore, there's

810
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 18: nothing to pay down the debt. There's money, there's more debt.

811
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 18: Even though they've increased revenue by that three hundred billion dollars,

812
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 18: only two hundred billion attributable to tariffs. Even though they've

813
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 18: increased the revenue, they increase spending at a greater pace,

814
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 18: so there is nothing with which to pay down the debt.

815
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 18: And this is what's so troubling, John, I don't care

816
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 18: how much money flows into the federal government. There is

817
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 18: never going to be enough if they don't get their

818
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 18: arms around this spending. The American people have got to

819
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 18: wrap their heads around the idea that the federal government

820
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 18: has no authority to carry out all of these various

821
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 18: welfare programs that they carry out, chiefly Social Security, Medicare,

822
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 18: and Medicaid. And don't tell me those aren't welfare programs,

823
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 18: because that's exactly what they are. People are getting more

824
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 18: back from the government than they paid it in the

825
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 18: first place, right, So who's paying that It's coming through debt.

826
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: It's got to stop what needs to be And I

827
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 2: know this was potentially going to be this may be

828
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: a topic of discussion for the legislative session, but you

829
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: mentioned it a moment ago, and I was planning on

830
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: bringing this up with you. We do need some reconciliation

831
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: between the tax laws regarding Minnesota and what's happening at

832
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: the federal level. Can you talk a little bit about

833
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: the differences and what people might face this year because

834
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 2: of the differences between the taxes here in Minnesota and

835
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: the federal level.

836
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: When they're doing their tax returnal.

837
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 18: Well, the biggest thing is going to be whether or

838
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 18: not you've you've got itemized deductions, all right, So so

839
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 18: that's where that's where and the exclusions we talked about,

840
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 18: the the the tip income and the UH and the

841
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 18: overtime pay and the enhanced deduction UH that the previous

842
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 18: the previous talkback mentioned and so these are the things

843
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 18: that have to be taken into consideration. Everything, John is

844
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 18: a case by case basis. That's the difficulty with that.

845
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 18: We you know, with generalizing here, you got to look

846
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 18: at your own specific facts and circumstances.

847
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 5: And plug that into the plug that into the templates.

848
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 2: So is there anything that Congress that you would like

849
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: to see Congress do?

850
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 6: Uh?

851
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 2: At the at the moment before we wrap up our conversation,

852
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: you know, we've got we've got a lot of battle

853
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: going on right now with the Save of America Act.

854
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: We were talking a little bit about voter ID when

855
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: you when you got in this morning. But I'm just

856
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: scurious your thoughts on you know, what the Trump administration

857
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: has or hasn't done so far to provide some tax relief.

858
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 18: Well, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act provides a significant

859
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 18: amount of tax relief.

860
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 5: There's no doubt about that.

861
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 18: The estimates are, as I said earlier in the program,

862
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 18: that the tax refunds are going to be up, you know,

863
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 18: between three hundred and one thousand dollars depending on your circumstances.

864
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 18: And that's because of the tax breaks in the Act

865
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 18: for middle income Americans. And that's a good thing. There's

866
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 18: no question about that. So the leftist rhetoric out there, John,

867
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 18: that says the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is nothing

868
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 18: more than Trump providing tax cuts to its billionaire buddies

869
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 18: is demonstrably false. It's just simply not true. So this

870
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 18: bill helps people.

871
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 5: Now. The other thing that's.

872
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 18: Going on, though, is you know, you have been talking

873
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 18: about fraud in Minnesota, and you know, you got your

874
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 18: arms around this in a great way. But the fact

875
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 18: is there is a great deal of fraud at the

876
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 18: federal level through the income taxes as well these refundable

877
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 18: tax credits, particularly the Earned Income Tax Credit and the

878
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 18: American opportun Tunity Credit. John, there's four or five or

879
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 18: six different refundable credits, and these are credits you can

880
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 18: claim on your tax return that allow you to get

881
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 18: more money back from the government than you paid in

882
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 18: the General accounting on the Government Accountability Office and the

883
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 18: Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has been tracking these

884
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 18: things for twenty years. These are the largest areas of

885
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 18: fraud in the federal government. Between two thousand and five,

886
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 18: all right, we're talking twenty years ago and twenty twenty five, TIGDA,

887
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 18: the Treasury Inspector for General for Tax Administration, estimates that

888
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 18: as much as two point eight trillion dollars has been

889
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 18: paid out by the federal government in fraudulent in fraudulent

890
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 18: tax credit claims, erroneous or fraudulent claims.

891
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a huge, a huge amount of money.

892
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 18: It's you know, we're talking billions in Minnesota, but it's

893
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 18: trillions at the federal level.

894
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 5: And we just got to get our arms around this stuff.

895
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 18: And there's nobody that's trying to push the runners around

896
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 18: the bases to get this done.

897
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: The website is taxhelp online dot com. You're also doing

898
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: quite a bit on social media as well. I enjoy

907

Speaker 1: You know, these are the.

908
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 2: Stories that you're not hearing and certainly are not being

909
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: brought up by Democrats, but individuals who you know are

910
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 2: genuinely suffering because they need this help, but unfortunately they're

911
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: losing it because of the rampant fraud here in the
