Podcasts about Bribery

The Torah bans bribery — so why do our holiest rituals look like payoffs? We're diving into a provocative topic as we enter the month of Elul - bribes, sacrifices, and cosmic payoffs in Judaism. We explore the tension between Deuteronomy's clear prohibition on bribery and the sacrificial rituals found elsewhere in the Torah that look suspiciously like attempts to curry favor with the divine.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The New York Times did not think that the mayor, in the midst of his reelection campaign, having his people hand out cash bribes in public, was anything that its readership might need to know in a timely manner. They got scooped on the news simply because the bribery was so widespread and so blatant that another outlet, one that actually cares about reporting on the city, bumped into a bribe on its own.

(The Center Square) – As the FBI gets involved in locating Texas Democrats hiding out in states like Illinois, Gov. J.B. Pritzker says they are welcome, but the Democratic governor insists the absconding legislators aren't breaking any federal law. At the request of U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the FBI on Thursday agreed to assist with locating Texas Democrats who fled the state to prevent the Texas House from reaching a quorum to change congressional district maps.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas House met to reconvene today but now quorum was attained as Democrats remain AWOL. Interestingly Paxton and Burrows have filed with an Illinois court to attempt to get help with returning the AWOL lawmakers to Texas.I also discuss, again, why the bribery issue is worth a long term fight.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Oil & gas drilling rig count falls again.Harris County commissioners censure County Judge Lina Hidalgo over her stunt with children and other bad behavior. The Houston Chronicle editors are angry only that her poor behavior got in the way of bigger government and a tax hike. This is an example of how local government keeps expanding its reach into things outside its rightful purview and why local tax and spending has made the tax burdens of Texans so high.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

In this fiery edition of The Daily Herold, Jon dives into a packed news cycle, spotlighting the DOJ's opening of a grand jury investigation into Russiagate, following a criminal referral from Tulsi Gabbard, and explores the role Pam Bondi may play in expediting indictments. He questions how, or whether, the Mar-a-Lago raid ties into the broader conspiracy and highlights the need for public proof that connects the dots. Jon also breaks down the subpoenas issued to former AGs and DOJ officials in the Epstein investigation, ponders who's missing from the list, and discusses the possible re-litigation of mid-year exam crimes. Other stories include Smartmatic's co-founder's alleged bribery scheme in Venezuela, Brazil's Supreme Court placing Bolsonaro under house arrest, Netanyahu's cabinet attempting to oust his AG, and DHS quietly requiring FEMA applicants not to boycott Israel. Jon closes the episode with a clip of CNN's Jim Acosta interviewing an AI-generated voice of a Parkland victim and challenges the ethical boundaries of such stunts. From mainstream media spin to Maxwell transcripts, this episode's theme is clear: truth is only beginning to surface, and some people are getting nervous.

To paraphrase British historian Lord Acton: “[Money] tends to corrupt, and absolute [money] corrupts absolutely.”

To paraphrase British historian Lord Acton: “[Money] tends to corrupt, and absolute [money] corrupts absolutely.”During my time as a Texas elected official, I happened to witness an almost vaudevillian performance of Lord Acton's axiom on the floor of our state senate. A multimillionaire named Bo Pilgrim, baron of a factory chicken empire called Pilgrim's Pride, had come to the Capitol to speak against a bill requiring corporations like his to provide decent workers' compensation benefits. Bo didn't speak in words, however – he simply walked onto the senate floor and brazenly handed out $10,000 checks to compliant senators.Today, corporate political money doesn't just talk, it screams – drowning out the voices of all who oppose the special favors the corrupt “donors” buy. And these days, a $10,000 check is considered almost charming in its innocence.Take Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a far-right-wing demagogic politico who prides himself on demonizing and directly harming poor and powerless people, while scooping up fantastic donations from the financial powers he serves. This year, after railroading a slew of corporate gimmies into law, Abbott cashed in. Last month alone, he pocketed four million-dollar checks – one each from a real estate titan, a ruthless pipeline autocrat, a Trump backing money manager, and one of Elon Musk's corporate operatives.Excuse me for speaking out, but this is a gross example of kakistocracy – government by and for the very worst people in society. If they didn't shower him with cash, even Greg Abbott wouldn't speak to them. It's time to start calling this what the dictionary plainly says it is: Bribery.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

July 18, 2025 ~ Todd Flood, managing partner of Flood Law, talks with Kevin and Lloyd about the FBI investigating a Detroit judge and her father for alleged bribery and fraud related to the exploitation of vulnerable individuals within the probate court system.

Mayor Eric Adams addresses political retaliation, legal battles, and how speaking out against party orthodoxy triggered investigations. He shares thoughts on Cuomo, Trump, Letitia James, and lawfare, revealing what it's like to challenge New York's Democratic establishment from the inside.

John Keller, now a partner at Walden, Macht, Haran, & Williams, channeled his experience as the former chief of the Public Integrity Section at the Department of Justice to talk about bribery with James Pearce, Lawfare Legal Fellow. After explaining the basics of bribery law and whether a current or former president could face a bribery prosecution, Keller analyzed whether three episodes from the first six months of the second Trump administration could plausibly be characterized as bribery: Paramount's $16 million settlement of Trump's lawsuit while Paramount awaits federal approval of a merger, law firms agreeing to provide pro bono legal services to causes favored by the administration to rescind or avoid targeted executive orders, and the dismissal of the criminal indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for Adams's agreeing to further the administration's immigration agenda.For more on this topic, read John Keller's recent article on Lawfare.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Witchy Wednesday is now Wondering Wednesday where we dive into deep questions. Today's questions are: Is bribery ever ethical?, Is love bad?, and why do people like art?

Pastor Jeff Durbin continues our Wisdom From Above series with this sermon on Proverbs 15:27.

Intro:Good morning! Matt Flummer teaches today on a challenging, crucial topic: justice. In our Proverbs series, we'll explore biblical justice, contrasting it with secular views to find profound clarity.Scripture References: Proverbs 1:1-3, 17:23, 29:4, James 2:1-4, Proverbs 18:5, 24:23-24, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 11:1, 20:10, 16:8, 16:11, 28:16, Leviticus 19:35-36, Proverbs 6:10-11, 10:4, 13:18, 13:23, 14:21, 14:31, 19:17, 21:26, 31:8-9, Deuteronomy 10:18, Isaiah 1:17, Jeremiah 21:11-12, Proverbs 21:3, Micah 6:8, Romans 3:10-26Key Points:Defining Justice: Proverbs links justice (Mishpat) and righteousness (Sadech) as inseparable. Secular views often split, focusing on either fairness/equity or freedom/individualism.Injustice in Proverbs:Bribery (Prov 17:23): Using influence for personal gain, treating people as means.Partiality to Wicked (Prov 18:5): Refusing to confront evil within one's "team" for perceived unity.Justice in Proverbs:Business Dealings (Prov 11:1): Fair measures, honest gain, opposing dishonest practices.Treatment of the Poor: Poverty is complex—caused by laziness/foolishness (Prov 6:10-11) AND injustice/oppression (Prov 13:23). Proverbs commands radical generosity regardless of cause (Prov 14:21), honoring God. We must also defend the oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), as God aligns with the vulnerable. Jesus himself identified with the poor.Three Takeaways:"I and my things are not my own." Our wealth is God's and partly for the poor (gleaning laws). We are stewards; be radically generous.Corporate & Individual Responsibility. Bible shows both: families/nations accountable for others' sins, but also individual accountability before God. Hold both truths.Justice Linked to Worship. Justice is giving each their due, including God. "To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" (Prov 21:3).The Way of Justice: Through the Cross:"No one is righteous" (Rom 3:10). We can't be just on our own.God's righteousness is manifested through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-26). He is both just and our justifier. The cross is ultimate justice.Conclusion:We can't achieve justice alone. Trust Jesus, who is just and justifies us. Practicing justice pleases God, made possible by Him.Call to Action:At worship, ask the Spirit to reveal injustice in your life (e.g., treating people as means). Submit to Jesus. The communion table symbolizes His ultimate act of justice. Come and receive His body broken and blood shed for you. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

By Michael Greider - Are bribes good or bad? Does it make a difference if you are on the receiving end or the giving end? What exactly is the difference between a bribe and a “gift”?

The U.S. has been policing bribery all over the world for nearly half a century using a law called the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. But now, President Trump has said that this anti-corruption law is crippling American businesses. Since taking office, his administration has reduced the number of investigators, killed some cases, and changed the rules.In this episode, we look at the FCPA case against Glencore, a large commodity trading company, found guilty in 2022 for paying cash bribes in exchange for lucrative contracts all over the world.And we go back to the inception of the law, a time when using bribes to pay off foreign officials was considered "grease in the wheels" - a reasonable (if unethical) way to get business done.This episode was hosted by Amanda Aronczyk and Erika Beras.

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.

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.
