Podcasts about bribe

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWI open this episode by going straight at the new form of shrinkflation sweeping across the country. This is not the quiet trick from years ago. This is bold and shameless and companies do not care if you notice. They dress it up with cute labels and marketing fluff and expect you to treat it like an upgrade. I walk right into this new version and break down exactly how it is being sold to you.From there I move into Donald Trump's sudden offer of a two thousand dollar rebate and I call it exactly what it is. A BRIBE. It comes at a moment when people are stretched thin, frustrated, and fed up, and the timing alone turns it into something far bigger than a simple announcement.The episode then takes a hard turn into Trump's abrupt enthusiasm for releasing Epstein related files after years of silence. The shift is sharp. The tone is different. The sudden push raises real questions about what is happening behind the scenes and why now.When you line up these three stories, the mood across the country becomes impossible to miss. They hit at the same time. They strike the same nerves. They form a pattern that says far more than the headlines on their own.Each topic intensifies the next. The labels on your food. The money waved in front of a struggling public. The sudden shift toward revealing long buried information. Together they create a pressure that people can feel in every direction.You can sense the buildup as the episode moves forward. Every story shapes the next one. Every move changes the tone. Every announcement lands at a moment when people are already running out of patience with the entire system.By the time the pieces fall into place, the larger picture becomes clear. The timing matters. The atmosphere matters. The connection between all three stories is impossible to ignore once you hear how they stack together.This episode brings that full picture into focus. It hits the pressure points. It calls out the patterns. It breaks down the moment as it is unfolding right now with no softening and no filters.I would appreciate your feedback and opinions:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Trump proposes a $2,000 “tariff dividend” for Americans, claiming his trade policies made the U.S. rich again. Patrick Bet-David and the crew debate whether it's smart economic relief or vote-buying, how tariffs could pay down debt, and why both parties keep growing America's $37T deficit.

Donald Trump still insists that he's going to send every single American a check for $2,000 from the tariff money that he's bringing in, but when he was pressed about the math this week, he couldn't do basic addition and subtraction. The amount of the alleged rebate checks would far exceed the yearly revenue from the tariffs, meaning that the government would actually LOSE billions of dollars with this idea - and that might be why Scott Bessent immediately shut it down.With the federal government set to reopen, House Speaker Mike Johnson was left with no choice but to swear in recently-elected Democrat Adelita Grivalja. With that happening, the vote on the discharge petition to get the Epstein files released is now imminent. According to reports, there is a sense of panic about this among Republicans, including The White House, as they know that there is nothing they can do to stop it - though Trump has been desperately trying to distract people from it. While Americans are struggling to afford food, Donald Trump's administration has been secretly handing out major tax breaks totaling hundreds of billions of dollars to the wealthiest companies and industries in the country. These tax cuts go above and beyond what was included in the "One Big Beautiful Bill," and they are being directed by multi-millionaire Scott Bessent and his Treasury Department. Donald Trump's own Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, appears to be actively trying to sabotage the President from inside the administration. In the past few days, Bessent has publicly contradicted several major proclamations from Trump, saying that they either won't happen or the ideas that he has simply don't exist. But Bessent's comments aren't getting the same level of coverage as Trump's bold proclamations, so most people don't even know that his own administration is telling us that none of this is real. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Bribe, Inc., a documentary film exposing a significant bribery scandal within the global oil industry, focusing on the Unaoil company and the Ahsani family. It highlights the collaborative efforts of an anonymous whistleblower, investigative reporter Nick McKenzie, prosecutor Tom Martin, and anti-corruption activist Alexandra Wrage to reveal the extent of the crimes. The film positions bribery not as a victimless offense but as a harmful practice with far-reaching consequences, emphasizing its connection to other illicit activities and its detrimental impact on democracy. This film is a real-life political thriller that exposes one of the largest corporate bribery scandals in modern history. Told through the lens of whistleblowers, investigators and journalists, the film uncovers a trillion-dollar corruption network stretching from oil fields in Iraq to boardrooms in Monaco—and all the way to the halls of power in Washington. Directed by Emmy Award-winner Peter Klein and co-produced by investigative journalist Calyn Shaw, Bribe, Inc. reveals how corporations, politicians and regulators conspire to protect a global system built on secrecy and profit. Described by The Guardian as "cloak-and-dagger," and praised by Variety for its "explosive" revelations, the film challenges audiences to follow the money—and confront the cost of complicity. As global enforcement of anti-bribery laws weakens and trust in institutions collapses, Bribe, Inc. emerges as a cinematic gut-punch—an urgent demand for accountability in a world where corruption is routine. It's an incredible story (and backstory).

Today's Headlines: Jimmy Kimmel is back in his late-night slot after Disney admitted last week's pull was over “ill-timed” jokes—but let's be real, the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN subscriber drop probably didn't help. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is floating Tylenol in pregnancy as a cause of autism (despite zero credible evidence) and RFK's FDA is eyeing vitamin B9 treatments. Trump's border czar Tom Homan was reportedly caught on tape taking a $50K bribe from undercover FBI agents—an investigation quietly shelved once Trump returned to office. At the FBI, a new plan could brand transgender people as “nihilistic violent extremists,” a threat category so broad it risks sweeping up activists and allies. The Department of Education teamed with Turning Point and Moms for Liberty for a “patriotic civics” initiative ahead of America's 250th. Abroad, the UK, Canada, and Australia recognized Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly, while Hamas may propose a ceasefire-for-hostages deal to Trump.

Donna Adelson Tried To Bribe Cell-Mate With Grand Piano & Drugs, Then She EXPOSED Donna Donna Adelson is cornered, and the cracks are showing. With the defense running out of credible witnesses, Donna must decide whether to testify—a gamble that could make or break her case. But the courtroom has already heard testimony that paints her as manipulative, arrogant, and willing to promise anything to protect herself. A jailhouse informant described Donna's constant chatter about her case, her handwritten witness “scripts,” and even bizarre bribes—packages of snacks, a $10,000 payment via Zelle from husband Harvey, and yes, a grand piano. The informant claims Donna wanted her to blame Katherine “Kay” Magbanua for hatching the plot against Dan Markel, a narrative full of language that didn't match Kay's voice. Then came the character witness—Donna's best friend—insisting she'd never heard Donna threaten anyone. But this was “coffee-friend” testimony: shallow reassurances from someone who knew the brunch version of Donna, not the backroom schemer promising money and pianos. And Harvey? His name now surfaces more often, pulled into Donna's supposed promises and linked through Signal and Zelle. Is this just Donna's mouth running, or was Harvey closer to the game than we thought? In this episode, we explore how Donna's narcissism may be her downfall. From bribery attempts that sound like late-night infomercials to character witnesses who barely scratch the surface, the case against her grows more surreal by the day. And as the moment of truth approaches, one question looms: will Donna take the stand to “explain it all,” or will cross-examination shred what little credibility she has left?

In summer, many shrubs bear fruit that birds find irresistible. Elderberries, serviceberries, blackberries, dogwood berries, mulberries, and currants attract many species of birds, including waxwings, tanagers, robins, warblers and this Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Plants offer this bounty in exchange for birds' help in distributing their seeds. And in dispersing pollen, birds, bats and insects also help to guarantee a new crop of berries!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

John Maytham speaks to Pieter-Louis Myburgh, investigative journalist at the Daily Maverick, who was on the receiving end of that offer from CEO of the Independent Development Trust (IDT), Tebogo Malaka, and the entity’s spokesperson, Phasha Makgolane, and who meticulously documented the meeting after weeks of preparation. His latest report unveils not only the audacity of the bribe attempt but the deeper rot inside a state entity tasked with spending over R4-billion annually on schools, clinics, and other social infrastructure. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Trump's global tour as America's reputation hits a historic low, and discuss the fallout from a new international survey showing China overtaking the U.S. in global favorability. They unpack Trump's cozy ties with Qatar and the bizarre controversy over a $400 million jet, including GOP pushback and security concerns. Kander and Gupta also examine Trump's trade war blunder with China, where bluster gave way to retreat—and what it signals for his economic strategy. Plus, they highlight Trump's decision to drop protections for Afghan refugees while signaling openness to white South African immigrants, and dive into the latest GOP budget fight over Medicaid and Trump's tax cuts.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a bribe! President Trump, just before setting off on a tour of the Gulf states, announces that he plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari royal family — one of the largest and most brazenly corrupt gifts ever received by an American president. House Republicans finally release details of their proposed cuts to Medicaid, but will their plan to cut the health insurance of 9 million Americans find enough support from moderates and hard-liners? And, of course, there's more tariff news, with the administration announcing a 90-day-pause (kind of) in the trade war with China. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy talk about Democrats' response to Trump's shiny new bribe, Stephen Miller's recent attacks on habeas corpus, and why the president's new drug pricing executive order isn't a serious solution to lower the cost of prescription drugs. Then, Tommy sits down with his doppelgänger, Rob Sand, to talk about Sand's campaign for Iowa governor.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
