The Program Allows the irs to seize aspects they suspect could be tied to criminal activity even without actual criminal activity. And now clyde taking his case to capitol hill. I did not serve three combat tours in iraq to come home and be extorted by governments forfeiture laws. Thats what they have done to us. I need you to stop it from happening to anyone else. Business owner navy veteran and drew clyde joins us. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. How are you . Im very well. So tell me what happened . You were running your business and what happened. I was running my business and on april the 12th 2013, two irs agents showed up with a seizure warrant and took 940,313 from my companys bank account. And they told me that. Go ahead. And told you what . And they told me i was that i had been structuring. All right. By structuring, what they mean is that the irs that the laws are such that if you deposit more than 10,000 in the bank, that the banks are obliged to notify the federal government. But structuring is, for putting 9,000 in to beat the 10,000 requirement, right . Thats what they said, thats correct. I had no idea even what it was. Okay. So tell me what were you doing . We were just depositing less than 10,000 in the bank on a regular basis. As a Small Business, you want to manage risk. You know, and any time that you send cash out of the store to deposit, you know thats risk. Have you ever heard from the irs before that . They just suddenly showed up and seized your 900,000 . Thats correct. Then what happened . After they seized money thats a lot of cash to have seized by the irs. Its a lot of cash to be seized. It was most everything we had in that bank account. They said call my attorney and have him talk to the assistant United States attorney, so we had a conference about six days later between myko oz5oye a so where does it stand now . Of course, let me understand you have never been charged with no crime, right . There is no crime involved with this . That is correct. There is no crime involved with this. In fact, in that offer they specifically noted that that i had not been accused of i had not been charged with any crime and that they noted that the money was clean, and that it was appropriately handled, that all taxes were paid, they noted that in the offer. Did they return 940,000 . Nom they did not. We went to it a hearing, three and a half months later where a judge forced the irs to return 440,000 of it and then gave me an expedited trial. We never actually went to trial. It was my tactical retreat if you will, so i could fight another day. And i ended up forfeiting 50,000 to the irs and they gave me the 450,000 back. How much did you pay in legal fees . Everything the forfeiture and legal fees cost me 149,000, greta. Thats disgraceful. Anyway andrew, thank you. Maybe the irs wont apologize directly to you but i will. Thank you, sir. Thank you greta. Its not just a Small Business controversy. During another heated hearing, irs chief John Koskinen getting grilled on everything from the targeting scandal to the irs rehiring tax cheats to work there. Between 2010,w g,0kj b[1pktnhg egun nk 3 e uan e,vcqc u k c c and september 2013, the irs rehired 7,000 employees. A great jobs program. And we are always delighted when people are employed. But the question as to why over 800 of those 7,000 rehired irs employees were rehired with prior substantial employment issues. The. The bulk of those employees are temporaries or seasons who are hired for four to six, to eight months a year, depending on the time. And senator rob portman joins us. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. En i should add that commissioner koskinen apologized to this vet. However, didnt return the 149,000. I think thats a ridiculous apology. I would not accept that what is going on with the irs . First of all outrageous and to andrew clyde, thank you for coming up to the hill and testifying we need to change the law, one, there needs to be some evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Here is a guy who diagnose nothing wrong. And they kept his 149,000 or legal fees. They should pay the legal fees. Any time the irs loses in this kind 65 suit they should pay the legal fees. Because of i think that has a really good effect on whether they bring the case or not. You are a lawyer. You actually know how this thing works. Have to pay the legal fees it might help. And a hearing right away. I would then be paying the legal fees as a taxpayer which i am gladly im sure many taxpayers would because this is a vet. Something more a rogue agents doing this brutal thing and whats with the prosecutor being involved in this . This is invebled incredible. Restitution, also with regard to the law we need to change the law. Clearly the irs in this case is interpreting the law in a way that they are going after people perfectly innocent. Its another example and there are plenty of them. We saw what happened with the irs targeting conservatives. We have seen now with the irs hiring folks who were actually cheating on taxes and bring them back commissioner only say they are only part time. I dont care if they are part time or full time. We cant cheat on our taxes they shouldnt cheat on theirs. I appreciate the hearings on capitol hill. Im sort of over the hearings. I really want to do in the sense that i want to see the house and the senate really do something. Im sick of the hearings. This poor man, i mean thats just outrageous to do to him. I mean another hearing isnt going to do it. Reactions, laws. When are they going to do something. See us and the finance committee committee. This was last week and he talked about. The need for more funding. And, look, i think taxpayers deserve good service. Phone calls answered. I told him you are regain some element in this trust in this agency. He wants 2 billion more in funding. Thats what the president wants. If you go look at the records, there are 3. 3 billion. 1. 3 billion more owed by current federal employees in back taxes. So instead of asking the taxpayers to pay more, why dont you collect. Other problem here. Its see it much i feel terrible for people talk about it and hope this issue in yatsd. Legislative change. I hope members of congress are watching this and they do something because this is just disgraceful. Anyway, senator thank you for joining us. Thank you greta. Nice to see you. You have heard the threats over and over, president obama vowing to use his pen and his phone to bypass congress and take executive action. Now, im going to be working with congress where i can to accomplish this. But im also going to act on my own if congress is deadlocked. I have got a pen to take executive actions where congress wont. And i have got a telephone to rally folks around the country on this mission. And tonight republican representative jim jordan warning president obamas executive action on immigration could lead to voter fraud and the congressman joins us. Nice to see you sir. Good to be with you. Specifically you are pointing to voter fraud in your home state of ohio very important state come 2016. Center of the universe. Its important that only citizens are participating in our election process. The president s action, gives access to 5 Million People to get Social Security cards and drivers license, those are the documents used in our state to register to vote. We had ourselves testify today and he thinks this is a real problem. I mean, you have got the potential for 5 Million People who now have access to those documents. We already had in ohio according to the secretarys testimony. 291 folks on the investigator registration roles in the last 15 months, greta. 70 elections in our state were decide thed by one vote. So, that many elections and now the potential for essentially 5 million americans that now can have access to these. The potential for some of those to get registered to vote and actually noncitizens participate in election process. Pen and paper when he sees congress is deadlocked. For the life of me, i dont see him going up to capitol hill or inviting people down from capitol hill and sitting around and really discussing. This this seems just to be its my way or no way. And then he is just going to act. You know, there is a little bit to governing than just, drawing a line in the sand. I dont know if he he is right or wrong. I dont see this. I dont see anyone discussing it. Go back to this issue and i asked the i asked him today at the hearing did the president consult you guys. Did he talk to you mr. Husted ourselves in Ohio Department talk to your association and say im going to issue this order with my pen and what impact it might have on the election process and the ability of maybe noncitizens participating in it. He didnt have ask him. Ourselves has sent a letter to the president saying heres the remedy. Help us do the remedy so we can make sure our elections are fair, our elections only lou citizens to participate. No answer from the white house. So whats yourselves solution to this . Oh, he says we need access to a database where you have the last four digits of the noncitizens who are here on deferred action, you need access to the data base birth date and name of course so you can match it against Voter Registration roles and make sure citizens are participating in our election. He doesnt have that . No. He doesnt have that information. He cant match it up. You know what the problem is a little bit nutty. I can be in abu dahbi and stick my atm card in and get 100 bucks out of the atm machine. For some reason we cant figure out what to do about Voter Registration and president unwilling to talk about immigration so we can figure out some sort of strategy and streamline and make sense out of any of this. Yeah. Remember at the premise here. Go back to the start of this. 22 times the president said he couldnt do what he did last november. Unconstitutional action. Not what i say, liberal law professors even say what he did was unconstitutional. And because of that action the unfairness thats involved, we now have noncitizens. We have learned in the last few weeks noncitizens getting Social Security benefits. Noncitizens being able to get tax refunds. Noncitizens getting in front of legal immigrants and the process they go through to come to this country. Now we learn today noncitizens might in fact, it might be easier for them to participate in election cycle. Why dont you call him tomorrow and say lets talk about this. I would love to do that ourselves has contacted him. I know just someone call him. Call him up and say look we have got to figure this one out. I think we do. Whatever, right . Congressman, nice to see you, sir. Good to be with you. This is a fox news alert. Russia and ukraine reaching a peace deal, marathon talks leading to the ceasefire agreement scheduled to start on sunday. But now the burning question, will the violence really stop . And which side really won and why should this matter to you . Former armed force on the continent of europe to change boundaries, this is pretty significant. And defeat of nazi germany and yet it is. This conflict is now in the ukraine, it could spread to other countries the baltic republics, central agents other potential adversaries around the world so there is a lot on the line. Im not sure its going well. I understand this ceasefire has been hailed by the white house, but im not sure leaders of several nations we werent there. Thats the most significant point. Bad deal for europe. Bad deal for the ukraine. Bad deal for us. I think the reason she was prepared to cut this deal is because she knows that for the next two years she cant count on any effective help from the United States. So she is going to cut the best deal she can and hope that it doesnt turn into a debacle. Today, new violence in yes, maam. Yemen. The government fell short a couple weeks ago. Whats going on in yemen . I think the country has decent grated. Like somalia iraq, syria the list goes on and on. Im not sure its ever going to come back together. I think we have now got two threats, two critical emanating out of al qaeda. Al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which has been there and the northern part of the country and the capital are iranian surrogate force that is at the back door of saudi arabia and other oil producing. I think the risk of the iranians raising trouble among the shiites and Eastern Province of saudi arabia where all the oil is in baja rain and elsewhere means we could have a real crisis in short order. S was this inevitable or misstep by president obama . It was far from inevitable. I think we never should have allowed the government to be overthrown as a result of the arab spring. He actually free and fair election. Consequence as he went sworn enemies of us and the saudis very confused information. One common theme which is the dangers and risk to the west from terrorist activity it whether extreme she a or extreme sunni coming from yemen is very high. And we thought president obama thought it was a success in september. But thats turned out not to be so. I think actually it is a success as far as his policy goes. Thats the bad news. Ambassador, thank you. Nice to see you sir. Thank you. Straight ahead, porn. Thats the worst kept secret in washington. Government workers watching porn on the clock and on computers. Guess who paid for it . You did. Yes, lazy federal employees stealing your money to watch porn. On the record investigates. Thats next. Plus Green Bay Packers great brett favre showdown between packer fans and packer management. Packer management interested in themselves or the fans . I will tell you what i think off the record, of course. It is a dirty little secret and sure not fair to you. Now government workers exposed spending hours and hours watching porn on the clock and on computers that you, the taxpayers, paid for. And one lawmaker taking action to put a stop to this. Congressman mark meadows joins us. Good to be back with. You what is going on government workers on our dime looking at porn . Well if it were Just One Agency well perhaps, we dont have to deal with it. But we are seeing not only one agency but multiple agencies, seven or eight different agencies where they are so bored that they are watching porn and not being held accountable. And the american taxpayers, they have had enough, you know, from the irs, to the e. P. A. , to hud a number of different agencies. Its just enough is enough. You know, you think of it like what in the world that its come to the point where members of congress have to pass a law to tell Government Employees that its wrong on the government dime to look at porn, not do their jobs. I mean, and on government computers. I mean do we actually need a law for that . You would hope that you wouldnt need a law. Really comes down to enforcement, greta. What we have done is we have identified the problem. We have had hearings, as you were saying. Its enough with the hearings. What we need to to do is make sure that workers are held accountable and that we have a healthy safe Work Environment for the vast majority of the workers that are not a problem. And, yet we have failed to address it. And recently with just a number of the hearings with the inspector generals, Sexual Harassment charges 16 different counts that went unanswered. You know, it is time that we act. You know, whats what is so disturbing there are thousands and thousands of good federal workers. Thousands who do a really good job. Then you get a group of them who are doing something so deplorable wasting government money or looking at porn and almost like poisons the well for the good ones. And, you know, its just terrible. I dont understand, speak up, lets fire them. Cant we just throw them out . A lot of times they have been afraid to speak up. Because, when they speak up, there is either retribution or somebody doesnt treat them fairly i think we have set a new era. Chairman chaffets ensuring we make a work place a safe place. Other part of that is we hold them accountable. Thats recognizing the good employees but also punishing those that are setting the bad example. Some things dont seem hard. No porn on the taxpayer dime. That seems like an easy one. How about not rehiring at the irs people you fired before because they cant do their job. That seems like easy one too. Paying your taxes. If you are a federal employee pay your taxes. Here is another one. If its the irs and you know that there is 3. 3 billion in unpaid taxes by federal employees, figure out a way to attach the wages. 5 a week oring something. Go out and get that money. How about this one showing up for work . You know people that have been out of work for 8 weeks, still keep their job. Its just unconscionable. This is almost a city of no consequence. I keep saying that night after night because its also, i mean, for a lot of people there is sort of no sense of honor. Im not talking about the many thousands of good employees, but for others, its like, you know, its stunning to me. Well thats why the people back home are frustrated. They are saying, you know. They should be furious. Well, we are furious. Its time that we act and the time is now. Well, congressman, thank you very much. Im sorry that you do have to spend the time passing a bill like this. You think people would know better but they do not. So we will see how it goes. I take it that you dont have any opposition do you. No, this is going to be an easier one. That will be a test to see if anyone opposes you on it. I would hope not. Congressman can nice to see you. Thank you.
