For help with a complicated tax problem or complicated return, visit https://www.irsmedic.com/help Join Tax Attorney Anthony E. Parent as he delves into Donald Trump's radical proposal to replace the federal income tax with high tariffs. In this in-depth analysis, Anthony explores: Legal Feasibility: Can Trump unilaterally end the IRS through executive action? We break down the U.S. tax code's vagueness, examining how regulations could redefine "individual" to potentially nullify the income tax. Regulatory Process: Understand the steps involved in changing Treasury regulations under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the potential conflicts with existing statutes. Constitutional Challenges: Discover how the 4th Amendment might play into reshaping tax enforcement, and how a new definition of "individual" could align with constitutional rights. Presidential Tariff Powers: Learn about the constitutional and statutory frameworks that allow a U.S. President to adjust tariffs, exploring historical precedents like the Tariff Act of 1930. Political Strategy: Anthony discusses how Trump could leverage these legal maneuvers to push Congress toward comprehensive tax reform. Public and Political Implications: Insights into how such a move could reshape American tax policy and public perception, including Trump's comments on external influences on the tax system.
Today, we're joined by Justin Haskins, author and editorial director of the Heartland Institute. First, we talk about the European Union’s new law that will dictate how companies, even in the United States, run their businesses and implement ESG and DEI initiatives. Why does this matter, and why does no one know it’s happening? Do companies even care what consumers think? And can Trump protect the U.S. from this law if elected? We will also discuss the upcoming U.N. Summit of the Future at which members will vote on three extremely problematic agreements. We go through each and explain why they’re a bigger deal than people think.

In a press conference this past Tuesday, President Trump read from two of the Crime Prevention Center Research Center’s latest research reports. One report shows how violent crime fell by 17 percent during the Trump administration and then soared by 43 percent under Biden. A second report shows how law enforcement in the U.S. has collapsed. We show how the drop in arrest rates over the last few years from 2020 to 2022 is without precedent, and that is particularly true for the largest cities.
By the way, I got to talk to President Trump for a few minutes when he traveled to Bozeman, Montana, on August 9th. 2024. He told me he appreciated my research on crime, gun control, and vote fraud. After the assassination attempt, I was a little concerned about what impact that might have on Trump’s views on gun control, but my brief meeting with me gave me confidence that his views hadn’t changed.
In these recent speeches, Trump stated:
“And we had a couple of instances last night where things were mentioned. So I got it. Did crime rise under Trump and fall under Biden? They say it rose under Trump and and they go, "No, the opposite is true. Take a look at this here. It said, Is it true? Did crime rise under Trump and fall under Biden? No. Comma, the opposite is true. This was a study group that went out and didn't care, they did the numbers and there was another one that was a historical comparison of the collapse of law enforcement in US cities, the drop in arrest rates over the last few years is without precedent. Lowest arrest rates we’ve ever seen. They don’t arrest people anymore.” Transcript provided by ABC News, August 20, 2024.
In President Trump’s presentation on Tuesday, August 20th, 2024, in Michigan, he read from two recent Crime Prevention Center Research posts. Trump referenced our research on how violent crime fell under Trump, rose under Biden, and law enforcement collapsed over the last few years.
Did crime rise under Trump and Fall under Biden? No, the Opposite is True.
A Historical Comparison of the Collapse of Law Enforcement in US Cities. The Drop in Arrest Rates over the Last Few Years is without Precedent.
Here is yet another example of Democrats falsely claiming that crime has dropped under Biden. If they claimed REPORTED crime fell, they would at least have a credible claim.
Violent crime has dropped to its lowest level in more than 50 years.
And crime will keep coming down when we put a prosecutor in the Oval Office—instead of a convicted felon.

Trump: “her administration’s crime statistics show she’s presided over a 43% increase in violent crime. These are all government numbers, 43% increase in violent crime. I bet the people behind me don’t have anything like that. It just gets better. It doesn’t get worse, including a 58% increase in rape, 89% increase in aggravated assault, and a 56% increase in robbery. The crime in America, the fact is, is out of control.”
The numbers cited by Trump here were also from the NCVS that our report discussed.
Here are statements by Kamala Harris from 2020 where she strongly recommended taking funding from the police.
