Summary

In The Gist, what can we really find out from the Donald Trump tax leak? As Philip Hackney argues, not a lot. Hackney is a professor of tax law at Louisiana State University and formerly worked as counsel at the Internal Revenue Service. He says that Trump's returns don't indicate any wrongdoing per se. But there's lots of ways he might have used the tax system to his advantage to save money. For the Spiel, even more on Trump, taxes, and hypocrisy. Panoply survey: We want you to tell us about the podcasts you enjoy and how often you listen to them.

The following podcast contains explicit language.

0:07.9

It's Monday, October 3, 2016 from Slated to the Gisdai Mike Pasco, wow, a shocking, just a shocking international development.

0:15.9

No, I'm not talking about Kim Kardashian, West getting robbed.

0:20.0

Though that was a full segment on the BBC today.

0:22.5

Beyond that, I went to the BBC's website. They have like six stories on it.

0:26.1

There's one reference to the FARC, which is actually what I think is the real shocking international development.

0:33.0

And it's in the BBC and other languages. They're Spanish language service.

0:37.5

The ABC website right now, nothing about the FARC. They're gigantically prominently as Kim Kardashian West.

0:44.0

CNN, here are the top stories. Post-a-bate Clinton takes lead. Trump military suicides happen.

0:50.0

Kim Kardashian held a gunpoint. And then how do you sell $10 million in hot jewelry?

0:55.0

There is no Columbia FARC reference. So we know where our priorities are, but not here at the Gisd.

And by the way, how did the robbers ever get the drop on Kim Kardashian West?

1:31.5

Colombians opted out of a FARC zit or maybe they entered into a warg zit.

1:37.0

Anyway, the FARC rebels. 50 years. 50 years they've been fighting in Columbia.

1:41.0

A quarter of a million people killed. You may have heard as I did that the referendum was a done deal.

1:45.5

It was going to get ratified by the public. We were told that Paul showed the referendum was passing handily.

1:52.0

I did some research. Indeed, some polls did show that, but others had exactly the opposite.

1:58.0
