In this week's midweek podcast, we share the next installment of WNYC's Dead End: The Rise and Fall of 'Gold Bar' Bob Menendez. Yesterday, the former senator began an 11-year prison sentence. In this episode, Nancy Solomon takes a look at a relationship that spanned a key chapter in Bob Menendez's political downfall. Nadine Arslanian was a stay at home mom in Englewood cliffs, New Jersey. Within weeks of meeting the Senator, she was arranging off-the-books meetings with Egyptian generals. And what started as a rebound romance turned into the centerpiece of an international bribery case. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Ready for a technological revolution in how we buy and sell stocks? X Stocks emerges as the disruptor traditional financial institutions fear most. This blockchain-powered trading system allows investors to purchase tokenized versions of real stocks with one-to-one backing, enabling 24/7 global trading regardless of when traditional markets close.

These tests revealed the AI chose blackmail as a survival strategy in 84% of simulations, raising profound ethical questions about advanced AI systems and their potential manipulation tactics.Meanwhile, Coinbase pioneers a revolutionary approach to ransomware attacks. Rather than paying a $20 million ransom, they placed a bounty on the dark web for information leading to the attackers—a strategy that appears to have succeeded.

What if parenting wasn't about being perfect—but about being real?This episode goes deep with Asma Saleh (@dr.asmahan.sk), a behavioral analyst and child psychologist, as she unpacks what “gentle parenting” really means—and what happens when it gets misunderstood. We explore how to handle anger, discipline without shame, and how to help kids regulate their emotions even if you weren't taught how.

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Cleo Paskal, a leading Indo-Pacific analyst and non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, to unpack the growing threat of China's gray zone influence in the Pacific Islands and why it matters for the United States and its allies.Paskal explains the strategic significance of the Pacific Islands, which include U.S. territories and the three Compact of Free Association states—Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. These islands serve as America's “gateway to Asia,” enabling military access and power projection across the Pacific to key allies like Japan and Taiwan. Historically, whoever controls these islands can threaten the U.S. mainland and dominate Pacific trade routes—a reality recognized since the days of President McKinley and the Spanish-American War.Cleo prefers the Filipino term “ICAD” (Illegal, Coercive, Aggressive, and Deceptive) over “gray zone” to describe China's activities. She details how Beijing uses a “braided” approach that combines commercial investments, strategic infrastructure, and criminal enterprises. Chinese-linked businesses often promise development but end up facilitating elite capture, corruption, and even state capture, while most of the population sees little benefit. Activities include:Bribery and elite capture of local officialsStrategic port and real estate acquisitions near sensitive military sitesCriminal networks trafficking drugs, gambling, and human traffickingPolitical interference, media manipulation, and lawfare against local oppositionThe podcast explores how China's influx of money and promises of quick infrastructure projects are hard for small island economies to resist—especially when Western aid is slow, bureaucratic, or absent. However, Cleo notes that Chinese economic engagement often benefits only a narrow elite and can leave countries worse off, both economically and environmentally. She argues that the West, especially the U.S., must offer meaningful economic alternatives and support for good governance, not just military or diplomatic engagement.Despite U.S. political polarization, Cleo notes that support for the Pacific Islands remains bipartisan, especially regarding the renewal of the Compacts of Free Association. She also stresses that Pacific Islanders view the U.S. differently from former colonial powers, seeing America as a beacon of liberty and democracy—an image China is actively trying to undermine through narrative warfare.This episode makes clear that the Pacific Islands are not just remote dots on the map but are central to U.S. security, the rules-based order, and the future of the Indo-Pacific. China's gray zone campaign is a sophisticated, multi-layered threat that demands urgent, coordinated action from the U.S. and its allies—combining hard security, economic opportunity, and support for local agency and resilience.Follow our podcast on X, @IndoPacPodcast; or on LinkedIn or BlueSkySponsored by BowerGroupAsia

The episode concludes with a call for improved security practices in the face of evolving cyber threats.

Welcome to the jetstream, where elite criminal impunity flies above laws and accountability. Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman joins Gaslit Nation to connect the global dots on oligarchy in the White House.  We start with Qatar, a small but powerful gas station dictatorship, and a leading financier of terrorists. Once diplomatically isolated for its links to fellow terror-state Iran as well as groups linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, Qatar has been back in business, brokering nuclear talks with Russia and Iran, investing billions with the Kremlin, propping up Hamas, and gifting Trump a $400,000 luxury jet, dubbed a “flying palace.” National security risk? Absolutely. Surveillance threat? Almost certainly. Bribery? Looks like it. But what is Qatar getting in return? Qatar, the second-largest buyer of U.S. weapons, after its nemesis Saudi Arabia, recently secured a $2B U.S. arms deal, thanks to Trump. It also invested $10 billion in a Texas-based natural gas venture that requires federal oversight, under Trump. Andrea and Olga go through all the ways Trump and Qatar enjoy kleptocratic quid-pro-quo, and years of Trump's Middle East-linked corruption that illegally helped him come to power in 2016, enriching him and his family, Kremlin-style.  This week's bonus show, available for subscribers at the Truth-teller level ($5/month) and higher, looks at ways to stay grounded and fight back in the deliberately engineered chaos of oligarchy and its firehose of corruption.

Brace yourselves. This episode is chock-full of post-reconstruction politics. Boy, is it grim! And also a little… relevant? (Ew!) As South Carolina politics turned on its head, Robert Smalls emerged as one of the few Republican politicians still able to hold his seat. Unfortunately, Smalls' influence and popularity put a target on his back. Soon, his political opponents ensured that he was charged with bribery. The trial was an absolute mess. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Billingsley, Andrew. Yearning to Breathe Free: Robert Smalls of South Carolina and His Families. Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 2010. Lineberry, Cate. Be Free or Die: The Amazing Story of Robert Smalls' Escape from Slavery to Union Hero. St. Martin's Press, 2017. Miller, Edward.

In this episode of Lawyer Talk, I am breaking down a hot topic: the Supreme Court case, Snyder vs United States, and a listener's big question on bribery. Ever wondered what really counts as a bribe? Or how gratuities fit into the whole mix? I am here to clear up the confusion and make sense of it all, without diving into the political rabbit hole. I talk about how the law defines bribery and why sometimes things aren't as straightforward as they seem. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/snyder-v-united-states/Here are some key takeaways from the discussion:Bribery vs. Gratuity: Understand the critical distinctions between a bribe (an influencing payment made before an action) and a gratuity (a gesture of gratitude after an action). The nuances are vital for legal definitions.Statutory Interpretation: The importance of accurately interpreting the law is highlighted. In Snyder vs. U.S., the Supreme Court ruled that the conduct didn't fit the statutory definition of bribery under federal law, emphasizing the consequences of prosecutorial decisions.Rigorous Ethics Compliance: The conversation sheds light on how strict ethics rules are, especially in legal and government spheres, prohibiting even small gestures like buying a Coke for a public official.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

[WEEKEND RECAP 03-08-25] I regaled friends over the weekend with stories about my life. An uncompromising life where I know that my integrity cost me millions of dollars. And while at times the financial impact hurt, and possibly would have devastated others, I held fast to the fact that I did not compromise my integrity, and that I know there is a loving, living God who would see me through. Why do you think the first thing Leftists attempt to do is to destroy a man's integrity.In Gladiator, the one slaves says to Maximus, before he can kill you, he must kill your good name.   Donald Trump took a bullet for America… Ponzi schemes are illegal unless they are run by the government Bribery is illegal unless it is called “government lobbying” Insider trading is illegal unless you are in CongressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
