	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
	All right, news roundup information overload hour.
	Toll for number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	So uh earlier today, House Ways and Means uh committee, uh the chairman of which, Jason Smith from Missouri will join us in a minute, uh sent letters to the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General and the Treasury Inspector General uh for tax administration at the IRS demanding information related to the committee's investigations into whistleblower allegations uh and uh potential retaliation.
	Uh Jason Smith confirms now we have credible whistleblower testimony, alleging misconduct and government abuse resulting in preferential treatment for President uh uh Biden's son zero experience Hunter.
	He points out that not one but two IRS employees, whistleblowers, have now uh brought forward evidence that the federal government is not treating all taxpayers equally when enforcing the tax laws.
	We already know that with the sweetheart deal for Hunter, and the whistleblowers are suggesting that the search warrants and charges for Hunter Biden were blocked in the interim.
	The uh statute of limitations ran out on previous tax years, not the two that are part of this deal, uh that sweetheart deal that Hunter Biden just got.
	Anyway, he's the chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, uh Jason Smith of Missouri is with us.
	Sir, how are you?
	Great, Sean.
	It's good to be with you.
	Let's talk about these two whistleblowers.
	Let's talk about uh how Hunter Biden was treated, and let's talk about the consequences they face for being whistleblowers.
	I always thought Democrats praise whistleblowers.
	They even, you know, praise the hearsay whistleblower in the impeachment of Donald Trump.
	Well, I'll tell you, Sean, uh Democrats, they change their opinions on the subject depending on who they are targeting.
	I'll just I'll just tell you that.
	But we set up this whistleblower um hotline in my first week as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee for any IRS employee to come to us for anything that we should look at.
	And we've had numerous whistleblowers, but the two today that we released their their depositions, actually it's over 14 hours of depositions, they voluntarily came to us because they were IRS investigators of the Hunter Biden um tax investigation case, like you said, since 2018.
	And what we discovered without a doubt, if the IRS is not treating all taxpayers the same.
	If you're wealthier politically connected like Hunter Biden, you're you're getting getting better better taken than you're getting preferential treatment, is what you're saying.
	Absolutely.
	And and the whistleblowers, their statements are backing that up.
	But also what's more concerning is that the whistleblower statements are backing up that the Department of Justice interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden's clear tax issues with a delay, divulge and deny campaign that ultimately shielded him by allowing the statute of limitations to pass in the first few tax years, 2014 and 2015.
	Some of the items that came up, Sean, were absolutely atrocious of what they did.
	For example, let me let me explain what this means here.
	So you're saying in the years twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen, and by the way, some of this is corroborated on Hunter Biden's laptop, correct me if I'm wrong, uh, where he even acknowledges he didn't pay taxes on four hundred thousand dollars, I believe, from Barisma.
	Is that correct?
	That's exactly another example of how they were trying to um stand in the way of these IRS investigators.
	These whistleblowers said that they requested the IRS laptop so they could look into it.
	The Department of Justice would not allow them to do that, which is so unusual in the course of investigation.
	But you are correct.
	There's like eight point three million dollars that Hunter Biden got from the Chinese, from the Ukrainians, from Romanians, um, that he did not pay taxes for over the period of two thousand fourteen to two thousand and nineteen.
	He got gifts, Sean, like an eighty thousand dollar diamond, uh, a portion of over a hundred and forty thousand dollars.
	And and well, didn't he have global income streams from Ukraine, Romania, China, and to the tune of what, seventeen point three million from twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen?
	And that he personally received eight point three million dollars himself.
	Absolutely.
	Him and his associates received 17.3 million from 2014 to 19, but he himself individually got 8.3 million.
	We also released a WhatsApp today of a text message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese official saying that he is waiting for their response to their conversation sitting right next to his father.
	Right next to his father is what's in it.
	And so with the current president of the United States saying that he knew nothing of his son's business dealings, that that text in that WhatsApp tweet to a Chinese official proves that that's not true.
	Well, you know, this is pretty amazing.
	So they basically ran out the statute of limitations.
	The DOJ ran cover for the Biden family, uh, which makes this sweetheart deal that he got for the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen tax years even even that much more egregious because this was a long standing practice of Hunter not to pay his taxes.
	Uh, I guess if you're a Democrat, you get away with it.
	You know, meanwhile, nobody was held accountable and Lois Lerner was uh the head of the IRS and they were targeting conservative groups.
	Um, but you you talk in great specificity, or these whistleblowers do that if normal procedures had been followed, they would have executed search warrants and Hunter would have been charged for these these years because they had the information back in time where the statute of limitations had not expired.
	Am I wrong on that?
	You're exactly right.
	You know, in fact, uh the whistleblowers claimed that one of the U.S. attorneys in the case quote said told them there is no way a search warrant for evidence would ever get approved because the evidence of interest would be found in the guest house of former vice president Biden because that's where Hunter Biden was living, was in that guest house.
	There's so many examples that these whistleblowers are highlighting where the Department of Justice saw things or wouldn't allow things because it was the president's son or the vice president's son.
	You know, it really it really boggles the mind.
	Um we really don't have equal justice or application of our laws in America today, do we, sir?
	It's very, very frustrating.
	If you look at what's going on, it looks like a two-tiered system.
	Um what does it look like it or is it a two-tiered system?
	I'll give you other examples.
	Hillary Clinton, according to James Comey, a top secret classified information on her servers, uh, but no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute.
	She they didn't raid Chappaqua.
	We have four separate locations.
	Joe Biden now, we've identified had top secret classified documents.
	Uh neither one of those four locations ever got raided.
	None of them have been charged with with any any crime regarding this.
	Um Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails.
	I'd never heard of Bleach Pitt prior to this.
	She washed or acid washed her servers and hard drives clean and had aides destroy devices that might have copies of these these emails on them uh with hammers and remove SIM cards.
	Uh that sounds like a a case of obstruction to me, don't it sound like that to you?
	You're exactly right, Sean.
	Um, the list goes on and on.
	If your last name's Biden or Clinton, it's a whole different system of laws that you were operating on.
	But you know what?
	If you're Trump, you're going to go to the hammer in every kind of indictment or charge.
	It it's just it is absolutely unacceptable.
	It's important for us to get this information out there.
	There's a lot more names that we need to interview, talk with, get additional information, and we're all the members of of Congress, whether it's the Judiciary Committee, the Oversight Committee, and most people don't view the Ways and Means Committee as a committee of oversight, but when you deal with tax records and tax filings, oh big time that's in your jurisdiction.
	I mean, all tax laws come out of the the t way ty uh the ways and means committee.
	So let me get this straight too.
	The DOJ tipped off Hunter's attorneys.
	There was probable cause to search a Northern Virginia storage unit in which Hunter Biden had stored files, and that according to one whistleblower, they they ruined your chance to get the evidence before just it being destroyed, manipulated, concealed.
	Another whistleblower saying that the IRS were told by a U.S. attorney, Leslie Wolf, there's no way they're going to give a search warrant for evidence uh that it would ever get approved because the evidence would be found at the guest house of former vice president Biden.
	Well, they didn't seem to have those qualms going after Donald Trump and Mar-a-Lago.
	They absolutely didn't.
	And that's what's extremely disturbing.
	You just highlighted examples that came out today that we we voted to release so that the public could see that when actually straight Republican Democrat line, not one Democrat would join with us, even though they've been part of the conversation.
	But the fact of what the Justice Department has interfered with in these investigations by tipping off Hunter Hunter Biden's um counsel before they would go uh with a search warrant into those storage units.
	It's so we so we have officials that are involved in enforcing our laws, tipping off the Biden's hey, where the there might be a search on on this property or this storage unit, go get your stuff out.
	That's that's exactly what we found out from the whistleblowers is that an attorney for Hunting by Hunter Biden was tipped off about actions relating to the investigation in advance.
	And that's what the whistleblowers alleged and stated in their deposition, and that's one of the numerous reasons why we needed to publicly release it.
	All right, quick break, we'll come right back, we'll continue.
	Toll free.
	Our number is 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, or with uh Congressman uh and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, uh Jason Smith of Missouri is with us more on the other side, then we'll get to your calls.
	We continue as the chairman with the all-important House Ways and Means Committee, Jason Smith, talking about the two IRS whistleblowers uh and how Hunter Biden got uh special treatment.
	What a shock.
	Tell me about the retribution that these two whistleblowers are facing.
	Let me tell you, I asked the commissioner of the IRS uh right after the whistleblowers came in before my committee, if there would be any retaliation.
	He said absolutely not.
	But guess what?
	Just ten days later, both of these whistleblowers were removed from the investigation of Hunter Biden that they had been on since 2018.
	Don't tell me that that just correlates.
	In fact, they claim that the Justice Department removed them from the investory teams.
	Um there's a lot of issues that are worried about.
	One of the whistleblowers said that they were passed up even though that they were most qualified for a higher position because he was a whistleblower.
	And so I thought we had whistleblower laws that protected whistleblowers.
	I thought Democrats love whistleblowers.
	Apparently they only like whistleblowers that hate Donald Trump.
	Yeah, apparently they don't even like whistleblowers that are Democrats because that's what one of these whistleblowers is.
	So I mean, give me a break.
	It's just if it doesn't work their way, they uh they apparently are going the other direction.
	You know, Congressman, I'm gonna be very clear.
	I've been clear with my audience.
	Pay your taxes.
	I tell everybody, pay your taxes.
	Uh I just assume every year, because I I've unfortunately been doing involved in this business for too long, and I just assume that my tax file is pulled every year.
	And and for the record, I know for a fact it's been pulled in many years.
	And, you know, so I have gone through great pains to hire not one accounting firm, but two.
	The first one does the original tax draft.
	The second one, you know, does it separately and and double checks, you know, every box, and then I send it to a legal firm to make sure that they sign off on it.
	Because I uh why do I feel like if I if I missed a comma or missed, you know, one payment of some kind by by accident, you know, they'd want to throw me in jail for the rest of my life.
	And I'm telling you right now, a fortune of my income goes to the government.
	Which by the way, they should look at the number and they say, Oh, he makes this much, and we he pays that much.
	It's that kind of oh, no-brainer tax return.
	Sean, you're a smart man.
	You're doing exactly what I would encourage at all your listeners to do.
	Well, most people can't afford two accounting firms and a lawyer.
	I'm I'm I'm being very honest here.
	Most of my life I couldn't have afforded that.
	That's exactly right.
	I grew up in a family where my grandparents didn't even have running water, and my dad was an auto mechanic.
	Exactly.
	I mean, you know what?
	The the the people like and they're the people, by the way, even Janet Yellen said if they hire 87,000 more agents, that ninety percent of the people that are gonna be investigated are the are the people you just described, like your parents.
	You know, Sean, that's exactly a point that we brought up today.
	They wanted that eighty billion dollars to hire the eighty seven thousand new IRS agents to go after people who are not paying their fair share in taxes.
	But guess what?
	If it's the president's son who owes like eight point I mean two point two million dollars in taxes, it's okay to not go after By the way, who's this guy that paid Hunter's tax bill.
	Do you know him?
	Is that allowed?
	Is that a gift?
	Or is that a loan?
	Do we know?
	You know, they s they claim it's a loan.
	Um not for sure exactly of his name off the top of my head.
	But um I mean that that is something This guy in California, the sugar daddy that loves the Bidens, yeah.
	Um and by the way, th you can legally loan money.
	I've done that in my life to people to friends, and you know, if they get in a tough spot, I don't mind helping my friends out.
	I think, you know, but you gotta do it the right way, actually.
	My lawyers tell me that too.
	Exactly.
	And especially you they there's certain guidelines about uh elected officials and their family members.
	I remember his name.
	It's Kevin Morris, some guy out, I believe in California.
	Okay.
	I think he's the one that lent the jet so that Hunter can go plead his case in the Arkansas courtroom not to pay uh m uh as much money for his own four year old daughter that Joe and Joe Biden refuse to even acknowledge.
	How pathetic is that?
	Your own flesh and blood.
	It's so embarrassing.
	It's absolutely embarrassing.
	Well, you'd have to have shame to be embarrassed, and clearly they have none.
	Um anyway, great job today, uh, Congressman.
	We really appreciate it.
	Very informative, and please keep up to speed.
	Uh, we'd like to support these whistleblowers if we can.
	They they deserve the legal protections that they're supposed to have, and it's clear that retribution seems to be in their future, and and that should not happen to anybody.
	Uh anyway, sir, thank you.
	We appreciate it.
	Whistleblowers.
	Thank you, sir.
	800 941 Sean, our number.
	We'll hit you the phones when we get back if you want to be a part of the program.
	Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
	Sean Hannity is on right now.
	All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
	Thank you for being with us.
	800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Wanna remind you about our friends at Pre Born Clinics.
	Now, they don't get a penny from the federal government.
	They rely on the pro life community, people that believe in the sanctity of life.
	Uh they believe abortion is a heart issue, and they're using the science of four D ultrasound, uh that they give free to any expecting mom.
	And what they're discovering is when when expecting moms actually see facial features and can count fingers and toes and hear a heartbeat, that the odds are increased incredibly that the that mom will choose life for that child.
	And every day they're saving two hundred babies uh uh a day, uh, because of of the science that they're using.
	Uh and right now you can donate.
	Um I just I just purchased for two of their facilities.
	They needed new ultrasound machines to to get them up and running, and I was glad to to donate those.
	Uh, but they don't get a penny from the government.
	They count on your generosity ma to make this happen.
	Every expecting mom gets a free four D ultrasound.
	Every expecting mom is off for free counseling after the baby is born, if they need help with with diapers or doctors or baby formula or whatever, they're there for that too.
	Anyway, just go to preborn.com slash Sean S E A N or dial pound two fifty say the keyword baby, pound two fifty keyword baby.
	A hundred percent of your tax deductible go donation goes towards saving uh babies and mothers, and they're trying to get ten thousand new people on board with this great program.
	Uh will you be one of them?
	Anyway, pound two fifty keyword baby from our friends at preborn dot com.
	Uh all right, let's get to our busy telephones here as we check in.
	Russell is in New York.
	What's up, Russell?
	How you doing?
	Good to talk to you.
	Hi, how you doing?
	What's going on, sir?
	I'm call I'm going because uh you have a voice and you you can get too many people.
	And I think that one of the things that we should see happen in our legislation Is that companies like say Disney or TikTok or Discourse or Netflix or any of the real powerful um companies out there should publicize who who owns them.
	Just like when you buy a box of cereal, you get the calories, you get the content, what's in it, how many vitamins.
	They should they should have something that comes across their screen, you're hit right in the face with it.
	I I'm owned by, you know, let's say communist China, or um, I'm owned by um you know the target company.
	And if you saw that, you're like, well, I don't want to have anything to do with it, and you don't put your money towards it.
	You don't buy it, you don't buy their services, and because we're we're kind of limited in power.
	I mean, you can vote, and that's about it.
	I mean, if if you have like money and you can control how much money is going out there, at least you can say, well, you know, this is owned by the communist Chin Party of the Communist Chinese Party, and I don't want to have anything to do with them, so I'm not gonna I'm gonna not use TikTok or I'm not gonna buy anything from Disney.
	Like I I don't buy Disney stuff.
	I don't agree with their politics, and I won't go into Target anymore either.
	So I think that would help.
	Well, I mean, it's obviously effective.
	I mean, look at the market cap decline and target, and and look what happened to Bud Light.
	Um there's no doubt going woke has created a major backlash for a lot of companies.
	Uh I think what has shocked me and stunned me is that this is almost it's now been almost institutionalized.
	And and it's like I'm like, are you kidding me?
	It's like everywhere.
	And every corporation, you know, has to they they have to seemingly, or in their minds they seemingly think they have to check that box, you know, to make sure that they're not targeted by this group.
	In the meantime, they could be alienating their entire, you know, base, and you know, the when when companies hire either outside companies for HR or hire these woke HR people, I I mean, these are people that have bought into this hook line and sinker.
	You know, I don't know.
	I'm uh to me the workplace and and businesses should try to keep all of this stuff out of uh the political realm, stick to the business side of it.
	You know, certain states require a certain amount of this, believe it or not, like New York, California, and others.
	So that that becomes problematic for for many many corporations, uh, but it doesn't mean that our schools should be indoctrinating our kids.
	It doesn't mean that a teacher that has a captive audience of kids should circumvent parental values and authority.
	And so they make it sound like it does, and their base, the people, the majority really don't want to have anything to do with with their ideas of uh uh inclusion into their particular political viewpoint.
	And I think that would make a big difference in the dollars and cents.
	Is it just like Bud Light, they lost market share.
	I mean, if they could go back, they'd say, no way, they'd fire the guy and say, your idea is crazy, and they would never even approach the idea.
	And the the base doesn't have the majority doesn't really have a word.
	I think most of the I I think the American people spoke them pretty l pretty loudly to to Bud Light and Anheiser Bush.
	They're not the number one selling beer anymore.
	Um let me say this to look, and and I know that one of the chief I guess executives has spoken out saying, Uh, okay, we hear you, we've learned, you know, maybe the word I'm sorry would have been a little bit better and a little stronger and a little more effective in my view, but but putting that aside, um, what I'm worried about with Budweiser, and maybe I don't know, I just the way I was raised, I'm worried about the innocent victims in all this.
	You know, I uh I like Bud Light, I like Coors Light, I like them both.
	And the the problem is is that the guys that you know work on the line and the guys that work in their manufacturing centers and the guys that pay a lot of money usually to get these beer routes and have invested, you know, the life savings to get these beer routes, you know, they're seeing a twenty-seven percent decline in sales or a thirty percent decline in sales.
	I'm worried about them.
	Now the question is the message has been sent, you know, now management has to hear from its employees and it's gotta hear from the public.
	It's heard from the public.
	But I I would hate to think that if this goes on for an extended period of time, it's it's not gonna be the the dopey HR director at the company that's gonna pay the price for this.
	It's gonna be the guy that drives the truck that delivers the beer.
	It's gonna be the people that work on the factory floor that manufactures all this.
	It's gonna be the truck drivers that deliver all this.
	So um in that sense I'm I'm just a little bit more willing to understand that you know I kind of know how bureaucracies and management works.
	I mean, you know, I'm I'm just lucky I don't listen to management.
	I just don't care what they say.
	No, that I follow the rules like everybody else.
	How are you know, it just it's to the extent but I'm not changing who I am.
	You know, if uh uh if that's the case, then that then it becomes a situation that is intolerable.
	But um, you know, I've been blessed in my life that I am free to be who I am.
	I'm not censoring anything that I say.
	And you know, unfortunately for the the truck driver, um and the factory worker, they probably don't have the freedom that I have to to just say, sorry, I'm you know, you know, go pound sand.
	And I worry about them, their families have mortgages to pay, they got rent to pay, they got car payments to pay, they got college to pay for.
	I know does that make sense?
	I I don't want those guys hurting this, do you?
	Well, no, you don't want anyone to get hurt, but it's no different than the entire American people.
	You got Biden who's our president and he's hurting the entire people.
	At some point, the people have to wake up and say, No, I'm not gonna have any part of this.
	I'm not going to agree with you.
	And I think the majority of Americans do not want to have what's going on in their world and in their country today.
	And the only way that you can do that really that have a major impact on it is financially.
	And if if Bud Light is those people lose, okay.
	At some point though, are you hurting the people responsible or is there a lot of collateral damage?
	Well, I guess you're getting the message out that it won't be tolerated by the popular and at what point do you the people realize that the the ones that are gonna get hurt are not the people responsible for it.
	When will they realize that?
	Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest.
	I'm gonna uh listen, I was with everybody and I don't support boycotts, never call for them, never will, don't call for canceling and don't call for uh, you know, any of this.
	Uh I think people make their choices.
	The American American people made their choice.
	Now I'm making a choice that I don't want to see innocent people at Anheuser Bush hurt.
	That's my choice.
	Um and now if it the d dopey management of Anheuser Bush, if they do it again, then they're responsible for what happens to the to the truck drivers and the factory workers and everybody else.
	And I would hope they would put the the the work future of their of their workforce ahead of what their political agenda or the political agenda of some might be.
	But they're getting pressure from the m the mob, right?
	And they're they're okay, but they but the pressure I would respond to is the pressure from my from the people that are my customers.
	Remember the old saying, I know it's outdated.
	Customer is always right.
	That's it.
	You know, when people call my show and they tell me they don't like something about my show, I take very I listen very closely to what the criticism is.
	And if I agree with them, I'm gonna make a change.
	It's that simple.
	I've read research about me uh for many of the years I've been in this business, and a lot of it is not complimentary.
	And when I see a common theme jump off the pages of commentary made by people that that that listen or watch the TV show, and I'm like, okay, they must be right and I'm wrong.
	I better look at this.
	And I've made adjustments based on the observations of my audience because they've made and I think they've made me a better host.
	That sound reasonable.
	Well sure.
	But you're not like everyone else, right?
	I mean, it as the majority of if you want to put you up against the management, you take Bud Light.
	Will they learn their lesson or you take the people in charge of Target?
	Well will they sit there and say, well, the majority of people disagree with our ideology with the um LGBTQ.
	And we we're not gonna push this political agenda on on our customers, which then intacts Well, then you don't hire Dylan Mulvaney again.
	It's that simple.
	Well, right.
	And then so will they learn their lesson?
	Well, I think Well, that's that that's as yet to be determined.
	I think they will.
	That's my bet.
	That's my guess.
	I think thirty percent decline in sales, going from number one to number two, I think is a wake up call for them.
	And if they don't learn from it, then innocent people will suffer and they will be the ones responsible.
	Okay.
	They they learn that they lose market share because their their customers don't want to.
	All right, we're repeating ourselves here.
	I I've gave him my best answer here.
	Uh uh anyway, I appreciate the call.
	Uh let's go to Steve of Massachusetts.
	What's up, Steve?
	How are you?
	Sean.
	Just a new listener.
	You're a great patriot, my friend.
	Well, thank you, my friend.
	Glad you're uh glad you're with us.
	I don't know what the hell you're living in Taxa Chusets for, but whatever.
	Uh, unfortunately, I've been stuck here all my life, but yeah, there's some good things about it as long as you ignore the politics, I guess.
	Well, you can always follow the Bruins and the Celtics.
	Forget the Red Sox.
	I'm not a Red Sox fan.
	Well, that's why everybody's such sport great sports fans up here because nobody cares about the politics.
	Listen, I know I'm gonna say I hate Boston fans, but I love them and admire them.
	Does that make any sense?
	I mean I understand.
	Especially with the Red Sox Yankees, you know, battle that's gone on for years.
	However, one of the greatest basketball teams of all times, Parrish, Mikhail, Byrd, DJ, Danny Ainge.
	I mean, it didn't get any better than that.
	Amen to that, my friend.
	Um back to Miguel McHall in uh and a Paris Paris, Danny Age, shout star!
	Johnny Most.
	Johnny most for sure.
	What's going on?
	For sure.
	Well, reason why I'm calling it just a little bit frustrated.
	Um it seems that the Democrats have an awful lot of district attorneys that can file frivolous lawsuits.
	I'm just wondering where the Republican district attorneys are hiding.
	It's a great point.
	You're raising a great point.
	Well, one, you should take hope in the fact that there are people that actually don't politicize justice.
	There are people that believe in equal justice.
	Um, I don't think the answer to unequal justice is for Republicans to treat them the way they're treating us.
	I don't think that's the answer.
	I want them to follow the law and apply it equally.
	And um that didn't happen and is not happening under Biden's DOJ.
	It didn't happen under Comey's FBI, and it's not happening under Director Ray's FBI.
	And you know what?
	The rot stinks.
	It's a rotting fish, and it's destroying faith and confidence in what should be again the world's premier law enforcement agency and the greatest constitution on the face of this earth.
	They're shredding it every time they adhere to this dual justice system.
	Absolutely.
	Scary times, my friend, I'll tell you that.
	Really, really scary times.
	Like I tell my grandchildren, I'm glad I've only got a few more years left.
	Man, oh man, that's that's a very optimistic message.
	I gotta give you credit for that.
	Anyway, I we I hope you have longer than that.
	You know, Gomez writes me the day, Hannity.
	It's the last quarter.
	I'm like, gee, John, any other uplifting message you have for the day, you know.
	All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
	Hannity tonight, nine Eastern Fox News Channel.
	Uh the two IRS whistleblowers uh go before the House Ways and Means Committee.
	Uh the chairman of that committee, Jason Smith will join us.
	Congressman from Missouri, uh Alan Derschwitz, Greg Jarrett, Congresswoman Boebert, who wants to impeach uh Joe Biden and is also at war with Marjorie Taylor Green.
	I'm not sure why.
	Again, our uh condolences, our prayers go out to the to the families.
	Uh we now know that the Titan, that's the the vessel that went down to see the remains of the Titanic, has in fact they they first uh caught wind of the tail cone being separated 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic.
	Other debris was found as well, and at that point it was obvious that this has resulted in a catastrophic catastrophic loss of life of the pressure chamber itself.
	And um, you know, a lot of credit to all those people that have been working around the clock for many countries, you know, top people that uh were willing to devote all the time and attention in the hopes of of saving these lives.
	Our prayers are with their families, our thoughts are with them, and um, you know, it's just sad.
	I mean, when something like that happens, just tragic.
