Trump Got $16M. CBS Got a New Pro-Israel Boss. Coincidence? - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #152

A 36-year CBS veteran was fired the day after he asked why management was ordering him to put falsehoods on air. The new executive producer has zero broadcast experience. The new editor-in-chief was hired partly for her pro-Israel stance. And the owner's family just happens to be the largest private donor to the IDF.Trump sued CBS, got a $16 million settlement, and the FCC approved the merger weeks later. Paramount is now seeking approval to buy CNN too.Meanwhile the war hits 100 days. Iran still controls the strait. Airlines are cutting routes. Gas futures show we may not see $3 a gallon until 2032. And SpaceX just did the most retail-exposed IPO in history at a $1.77 trillion valuation while losing $4 billion a year.🎧 Listen now. Share it.

Trump Just Made Himself Untouchable by the IRS. Forever - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #151

Trump 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.

St. Louis Has $255 Million and Nobody's Been Helped? - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #150

One year after the tornado. 5,000 damaged homes. 69 demolitions completed. And the city just quietly signed a $26 million contract with an out-of-state company, no press release, no announcement, that's been audited for price gouging in three other states.Oh, and AutoZone just quietly warned its managers about the largest motor oil shortage in American history. Because the Strait is still closed and nobody wants to say it out loud.Plus RFK wants your kids eating grass-fed protein bowls at school while giving districts $4.60 to make it happen. And cutting the one program that made affordable local food possible.Eric is fired up on this 150th episode. And he's not holding back.🎧 Listen now. Share it.

No Income Tax Sounds Great. It Isn't. - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #147

Missouri'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.

In less than 50 days, the US started the worst energy crisis in the history of the global oil market. Then blockaded the same waterway we were screaming at Iran to reopen.Japan is burning coal it promised to stop burning. South Korea's stock market crashed 12% in a single day because Samsung's semiconductor fabs run on energy that flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Germany says it's not their war. 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.

The Ceasefire Was Fake - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #145

A 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.
