| 0:00.0 | The border crisis is getting worse and so is big tech censorship. |
| 0:03.7 | Hi, this is Sarah Carter. |

| 0:21.6 | Hello and welcome to the Fire in New York Show, the no-chip chat podcast. |
| 0:25.8 | We'd like to get right into it and what we're going to get into today is 86,852 new IRS employees. |
| 0:40.4 | You have probably heard in the past few days what all this coverage of the so-called inflation reduction act, we'll talk about that later. |
| 0:48.8 | But you've heard that Republicans saying that the Inflation Reduction Act includes provisions to hire 87,000 new IRS internal revenue service agents, 87,000. |
| 1:06.4 | I mean, the number seems too big to believe. |
| 1:10.5 | I mean, the IRS has, if you look at the Office of Personnel Management website for all federal employees, the IRS has 93,654 employees, 93,000 employees, and why would Congress in one bill increase that number, the IRS workforce by something like 92%. |
| 1:36.0 | It doesn't seem possible, it certainly doesn't seem wise. |

| 2:16.8 | I mean, the bill itself is made up of expensive, really, really expensive, climate measures, lots of subsidies to renewable energy firms, that sort of thing. |
| 2:29.8 | It's hugely expensive, climate measures, plus prescription drug provisions, tax increases, and the initiative to increase IRS enforcement. |
| 2:41.8 | So you know that the bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, we'll keep calling it that because that's its name. |
| 2:49.8 | It's kind of the slim down version of the even bigger, bigger, bigger bill, the build back better bill, which failed earlier this year due to the opposition of Joe Manchin, Democratic Senator, who's been a little more moderate than some of his colleague. |
| 3:07.8 | Now, we know a lot, switching back to the new bill, the Inflation Reduction Act. |
