About this episode

The episode discusses President Trump's legal actions against the IRS, Gen Z's economic concerns, and media bias in a recent murder case.

This week, President Trump agreed to drop a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the Biden administration targeting him and his family, and in exchange the DOJ will set up a fund that will be available to cover the legal fees and losses of other Americans who were politically targeted by government. Democrats hate it, some Republicans hate it. Is this corruption, or compensating people the Biden admin targeted? Plus, Gen Z is increasingly despondent that they will never own their own homes, and are extremely negative about the economy. How right are they, and where are they wrong? And what can the Trump admin do about it, if anything? And on UNHINGED: credentialed members of the NYC press corps are actively campaigning in support of the murderer of Brian Thompson. So much for impartiality. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, S.T. Karnick, (AND DONALD KENDAL?) will talk about all of this and more on Episode #537 of the In The Tank Podcast. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metals
