588: Velveeta Shortage!
NFL Tax-Exempt Status and Level 1 National Security Designations
The hosts investigate the Department of Homeland Security's "Level 1 National Security Event" designation for the Super Bowl, concluding it may be a fabricated or misapplied term. A major point of contention is the NFL's status as a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization, which allows the league office to remain tax-exempt. They contrast this tax status with the billions in revenue generated and the cutting of federal food stamp subsidies.
