Because if we're talking about, we're sitting here saying, we're going to bring money in this country through tariffs. We're going to get rid of all these workers. That's how we're going to improve things. No. If we just collected our taxes, right, we leave so much money on the floor. And the way we won't do that is if we have employed tax professionals. But instead, we're gutting the IRS.
We're having thousands of people unemployed. opt in for the layoffs, the early retirement, which is crazy because if people aren't working at the IRS, they're not going to collect their taxes. And the people they're not going to collect their taxes from are from the wealthiest people who aren't just making a regular paycheck.
The people who can put trusts here, there, and everywhere, they can avoid paying taxes. And if you really wanted to improve the IRS or improve our tax system. What I would love to see is the great minds of Doge, those great tech leaders that surrounded Donald Trump at the inauguration.
I would love for them to come into the government, volunteer their brainpower and their effort, and improve our system. The computer system that the IRS works on is called COBOL. It is so old that when there are kinks and problems with it, there aren't even humans alive who know that system to fix it.
So you've got the IRS, the most important agency in the government that brings in the tax dollars that we need to service this country working with one hand tied behind their back. And now 20 plus percent of them are potentially out the door. This to me is such a grave mistake and oversight.
And it shows that is the government, is this administration really looking to tighten up the screws and bring things in? That's not the case given how they're treating the IRS right now.
That's what's so absurd with like what we now have in this bro wokeness of like Trump wins. And it's like electric cars, forget them. Big coal, bring it on back. Like who is, who is big coal going to help? Like you want to help us, Virginia. Let's bring industry there. Let's bring new jobs there. Nobody should be looking to bring back the black lung.
You know, I've also noticed some members in the administration are wearing these gold buttons that are Trump's face.
Listen, that's the forever reminder that every product Donald Trump has ever made has been produced overseas. And this idea, right, if you and I wanted to end this podcast and go walk through the garment district of New York or take a deep look at clothing and home design and furniture manufacturing in the United States, we have some furniture manufacturing.
But apparel, home decor, we don't do that here. And so it's absurd. And the thing is, Trump knows that. His families know that. Go to any of his homes. Go to Mar-a-Lago. If people wanted, if they truly wanted to buy from Made in the USA, we would be there. But our president, along with the American people, made a decision years ago that wasn't a priority for us.
And that's why the gold medallions in the White House and probably the ones in yours are made overseas. Right.
Welcome back from Coachella.
When people rail on what I look like, especially like when I go on podcast, what does she look like? And I'm like, you know what? I was unaware that this was, that you and I were here competing for Mr. And Miss universe, but I saw you getting your party on at Coachella. And I just thought, I mean, I just thought it was amazing. Who is your favorite performer? I'm guessing Gaga.
Well, there you go. Well, welcome home.
Thanks for having me.
See ya. Bye.
He did tell a lie about it. Can you indulge me?
This has to do with Doge. Doge's report card, Elon Musk would say, is Treasury rates going down. And Donald Trump tonight said rates went down today. They didn't go down because Doge is reducing the deficit. Rates went down today because of tariffs.
Because the stock market tanked. Right. Right. You know what people do? They rush to buy treasuries. And when you buy treasuries, the price goes up and the yield goes down. So, yes, Doge got their wish. The Doge report card, when 10-year treasury yields go down, we're winning. Uh-uh. Doge didn't reduce the deficit and the stock market lost. Fact check.
Are you not going to mention drill, baby, drill the line that you you are? You saddled us as a people with that line. Energy emergency that we're not in.
