1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: The Internal Revenue Service is not to be played with.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: We all know that for sure. The income tax filing deadline,

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: of course, every year, is April fifteenth, and two weeks

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: from now. You should not let anything that you're hearing

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: from DOGE affect how you file. According to a survey

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: by a consumer credit resource, Americans are willing to take

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: their chances this year with the IRS because the new

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Department of Government Deficiency that is DOGE, headed by Elon Musk,

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: has fired so many workers in the agency. The survey

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: found that twenty four percent of Americans say they're less

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: concerned about making a mistake on their tax return this

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: year because they don't think they're enough workers to catch it.

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: Seventeen percent say they may not even file their taxes

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: this year because they don't.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Believe they will be audited.

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: In response to the survey's outcome, a credit karma expert warned, quote,

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: you definitely don't want to mess with the IRS. So

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: here's the question. Are you filing or are you waiting

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: for DOGE to all eliminate the I R S dumb

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: filed already? Yes, I don't play.

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: Seventeen not more black people to be listening to at all.

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: Why you say that we ain't.

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: Got time for that kind of mess. We're the first

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: ones that are gonna put in jail. Well, they said,

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: that's what Charley said in the story. Seventeen percent of

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: people are thinking about not filing at all, sixteen percent

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 4: of them going to be in prison.

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta file.

29
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 5: Listen to me, man to get rid of the is

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: it cannot happen. This country will crumble immediately because that's

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 5: where they get their money from.

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Well, you can't tell my girlfriend that she's black. She's

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a staunch Trump supporter. She said, you wait, they will

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: eliminate the Internal Revenue Service.

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: She's stuck on it. Nothing just cool, that's cool.

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: How do you you think when when did Trump, Biden, Obama,

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 5: Woodrow Wilson, or anybody else tell you you wasn't gonna

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 5: have to pay no more taxes?

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: Donald Trump never even said that.

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 5: Project twenty twenty five doesn't say that we live in

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: a tax country.

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: The rich, I mean, you don't tell us what he pays. Well,

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: if he pays, does he here's a deal the tax loopholes.

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: Here's listen, listen, here's the argument of the rich. One

45
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 5: of the arguments let's hear it is that rich people,

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 5: because of the money they make, that they hire so

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: many people. That is a true fact. One of the

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 5: write offs you get when you hire a person is

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 5: that's one of their write offs. So what you try

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 5: to do is you try to hire people that provide

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 5: a benefit for you or your business or you personally,

52
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 5: which helps you accomplish something in that by giving them

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 5: a salary, you now have a tax rite off from

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 5: your income, but you're getting something in return, a service.

55
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 5: So rich people constantly talk about how many companies they

56
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 5: have a business that they run and how many people

57
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 5: they hire. But the problem that the Democrats make is

58
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: they want to keep constantly taxing the rich to make

59
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 5: them pay more. The argument from the rich becomes, why

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: am I penalized for doing better? Which is a valid argument,

61
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: very very valid. So now the more I make, the

62
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 5: more you take. That's crazy, and that's crazy, and that's

63
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: why Biden was talking about taking taxes up to sixty

64
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 5: percent for the rich. Now they gonna get together, put

65
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: their money together, and get they boy in office who

66
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 5: ain't gonna go for that? And thus we have super

67
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: packs supporting Donald Trump. And Donald Trump is president because

68
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: the rich people are not FeelA. Let you do that

69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 5: today money, all.

70
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: Right, it's all about thank you for that money, lesson, sir, Yeah,

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean I learned a whole lot right there.

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: That's just a small piece of it, y'all.

73
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 5: There's a larger piece, but that right there is the

74
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 5: crux of it.

75
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So the question should go to you then are

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: you Are you waiting or are you filing? Are you

77
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: waiting for those to eliminate the irs alted dose?

78
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: Not eliminating? No, high, that's.

79
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: Crazy, that's what they're saying.

80
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: What dog is gonna fix it for is sodom.

81
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: Rich boys don't have to pay as much which you

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: did allow them to pay less.

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well moving on.

84
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: If you've wondered if the retail boycotts have made a difference,

85
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, yes they have. According to a

86
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: report from Numerator that is, an analytics firm, Black and

87
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: Hispanic shoppers have shifted their spending to Costco and Target

88
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: stores have seen a decline in store shoppers. The data

89
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: shows a direct correlation at Target's DEI rollback with a

90
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: drop of nearly five million shoppers. Five million shoppers have

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: stopped shopping at target. Costco maintained it's strong d I

92
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: DEI stands and has seen an increase of seven point

93
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: seven million visits from new and existing customers.

94
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: So there you go. Yeah, it's making a difference, making

95
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: a difference.

96
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Uh huh. You wonder why Pastor Bryant is doing this,

97
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,880
