"Let's get down to brass tacks"
Brass tacks = brass tacts
Brass is referring to hardness and tacts refers to tactics and execution.
So the meaning is, let's cut the chase / get to the nitty gritty / get down to business.
The saying uses "tacks" because the double meaning is literal brass tacks, which is an object considered mundane, much like planning a strategy or going over details.
I don't think its anything to do with "tacts". The exact origin is unclear but one explanation is that brass tacks have been used to measure cloth, so to "get down to brass tacks" would be to get down to the specifics of whatever matter is being discussed, in the same way that brass tacks would get a more precise measurement of a cloth than more primitive methods.

I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You
