Transcribe →Trump Just Made Himself Untouchable by the IRS. Forever - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #151
May 3000:42:56Tap to summarizeTrump sued the IRS (an agency he controls!!!) over a leak that exposed he paid $750 in federal income taxes. The lawsuit was almost certainly dead on arrival. So why file it?To manufacture a settlement. His own DOJ, run by his personal former defense lawyer who was told to recuse himself, quietly posted a one-page document to a government website. The IRS is now forever barred from auditing Trump, his sons, and over 400 business entities. The word "forever" is in the actual document.Also this week, a CIA officer with fake degrees, a fake pilot's license, and a fake resume stole $40 million in gold bars. For 17 years. Nobody checked.And Google is getting $2 billion in tax breaks in Missouri, funded in part by COVID relief money meant for small businesses.🎧 Listen now. Share it.

Apr 2700:40:58Tap to summarizeMissouri's "no income tax" plan sounds like a win. It isn't.The top 1% saves $40,000 a year. You save $231 then lose $500 when sales taxes go up to cover the gap. 60% of Missourians end up paying more. And once you vote yes, lawmakers never have to ask permission to raise the sales tax again. On groceries. Rent. Car repairs. Prescriptions. No voter approval required.One St. Louis billionaire has spent $45 million pushing this. Missouri voters already rejected it in 2016. Now it's back.New episodes every week.

France is blocking Israeli military planes from its airspace. The UK prime minister is publicly fed up. And Trump is threatening to pull out of NATO entirely.Oh and Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly, and Alex Jones are all calling this a disaster.

Apr 1300:36:16Tap to summarizeA self-taught independent analyst named Nick Nemo is making a case that 29 of the top 30 U.S. life insurers are technically insolvent without reinsurance credit that may not actually exist.

And Vermont passed a law making the books confidential — even under subpoena.Meanwhile the Iran ceasefire everyone celebrated lasted about 10 minutes before Israel launched 100 strikes in Lebanon. The Strait of Hormuz still isn't open. Iran is charging a million dollars a ship to pass through what used to be a free international waterway. Both sides are claiming victory.
