Newsom's 100% Tax Threat + $40M CIA Gold Heist | PBD #809
"How does the CIA able to check? There was a girl in the story that says, I was taking $75 from my dad and my mom that were helping me out. The CIA comes and tells me, where's the $75 coming from? Says, eventually I have to report the fact that it's coming from my mommy and my dad's bank account. They said, prove it. The girl had to show. So how is it that for $75 she got away, but the other guy, $40 million sitting?"
A senior CIA officer named David Rush was discovered with $40 million worth of gold bars (303 bars), 35 Rolexes, and $2 million cash. Despite CIA background checks that flagged a woman's $75 family transfer, Rush passed security clearance three times despite lying about attending Clemson University, Polytech, and being a Navy pilot. The hosts questioned how such massive corruption could escape CIA oversight while trivial amounts are scrutinized.
