00:00Thank you, Jack.

00:02Speaking of finance, if you took over a company in the red, would you gut the accounts receivable, as the administration has done with the IRS?

00:11And where are the costs to the departments that audit the billionaires?

00:19Where are the costs to the departments that audit the billionaires?

00:25The costs to the department that audit the billionaires?

00:29Do you guys want costs to the IRS?

00:35If you're asking about the core of the costs to the departments that audit the billionaires, I would say that's called the IRS.

00:42I don't think anybody... Is anybody advocating for costs to the IRS?

00:49I'm trying to... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who has some questions?

00:53Jack. Jack? Where's Jack?

00:56Yes, sir. Jack College.

00:58I'm trying to understand the question. I really don't.

01:00So the first part of the question, obviously, is about why do you bill?

01:04Why do you cut money going into the council receivable of the part of the country that, against the tax?

01:15Or the part of the government against the tax?

01:17Yes.

01:18So all this money from the government comes through the IRS tax, correct?

01:21Yes.

01:22Okay. So why did we decide that we wanted to cut the part of the IRS?

01:27And when the cuts were made, why did we determine that the first group that got cut were the lockers of the billionaires?

01:36I want to relate what I think you're saying, because I want to make sure I answer your question.

01:48Are you talking about cuts to a town see what being a tax cut policy in the United States?

01:54Yeah.

01:55Are you talking about cuts to a town?

01:57Yeah.

01:58Are you talking about cuts?

01:59Everybody relax.

02:00Let the man talk.

02:01Yeah.

02:02We're telling the last.

02:03Sir, please.

02:04I want to make sure I understand your question.

02:05Yes, sir.

02:06I don't understand why we have those who try to save money.

02:11I understand we need to be more efficient because we're not efficient as we should be.

02:17I understand that.

02:18I have a hard time understanding why one of the first things they get inside is the very group that gets the money to run the government.

02:31You mean like the various agencies?

02:36I was just cutting the rest.

02:38The IRS is cutting the IRS.

02:41I'm wondering if there's no other.

02:43This is...

02:45Everybody's shouting out four different agencies right now.

02:49So I'm trying to relax.

02:51Stay up in the end.

02:54What God does is the IRS auditors that are billionaires.

03:01All right.

03:09So I'm going to be saying what got cut.

03:14What you're saying is the audit, the department that does audit on kind of a whole thing.

03:19And no other part of the IRS got any cuts.

03:22Let's hear what's going on.

03:23What's going on?

03:24What's going on?

03:24What is everybody?

03:25Stop.

03:26Stop.

03:27Would you stop?

03:28Do you guys really know if you want to hear his question?

03:31So I ask him his question.

03:32I actually understand a lot.

03:38I'm trying to make sure I have to correct the way he's phrasing it, sir.

03:41Alas.

03:43Like we're not...

03:44You know, I'm not mad at you.

03:45I get you upset.

03:46I'm not mad at you.

03:46I love you.

03:47I love you.

03:49Yes.

03:50What has been cut at the IRS or has to pay for why?

03:53So specifically at the IRS, what has been cut at the IRS, specific cuts, that I have to

04:00get back to.

04:01That's what I know.

04:01I mean, I have no problem with saying that I don't know specifically.

04:06I'm going to research it and then we can go from there.

04:09If we're going to talk about audit functions at the IRS, again, the way it generally works

04:16is whether you give a lot of money or you're a small business owner, your audits are kind

04:21of an equal...equilibrium in the IRS.

04:25That's what happens.

04:26That's what happens.

04:26I mean, you're telling me that.

04:27You're telling me that.

04:28That's what happens.

04:32So are you saying why you want to be cut at the other?

04:34Why did the first question be cut at the other?

04:38I was just talking about the other.

04:42So I actually, on that one in particular, I have to get back to you on that exit.

04:47I mean, I will get back to you on that exit.

04:51The email is all of his owner.

04:54Correct.

04:54I will get back to you on that exit.

04:56Yes sir.

05:00All right.

05:01We're going to get with Scott Nicholas.

05:05I have a full proposal question.

05:07Scott Nicholas, who's on the IRS?

05:09Okay.

05:11What is your stance on Israel's war?
