The Slush Fund

Three stories. One through line. On today's show: the Trump administration has settled its ten billion dollar IRS lawsuit for 1.776 billion dollars, creating what amounts to a loyalty slush fund. The president controls who sits on the panel that distributes the money and can fire them if he dislikes their decisions. Every American is paying roughly ten dollars for it. Then we go to South Carolina, where Governor McMaster signed House Bill 4756 into law, requiring trans students in public K-12 schools to use bathrooms designated by sex assigned at birth, and explicitly permitting schools without single-occupancy indoor restrooms to offer an outdoor porta potty instead. And we close with Thomas Massey's primary loss, what it signals for the Republican Party, and why I think you have not seen the last of him. Plus: a personal word on intuition, what we have built together at the Ignition News and Rebel Radio Network, and why history always vindicates the helpers.
