Podcasts about bureaucrats

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Donald Trump's “Swamp” refers to federal bureaucracy, but a deeper “Legal Swamp” entangles Americans daily. Bureaucrats draft quasi-laws, judges enforce them, lawyers exploit them, and legal system insiders pervert justice. This insidious network far exceeds the D.C. Swamp's reach, subverting law and fairness while impacting lives through unchecked regulatory and judicial power...

Before Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. were prominent members of the Trump Administration (FBI Director, FBI Deputy Director and Health and Human Services Secretary, respectively), they were conspiracy theorists. But now that these men hold positions of power in the government, the various conspiracies they pushed are coming back to haunt them. Because their longtime supporters want them to act on all the wild claims they made. Will Sommer, a senior writer at The Bulwark and author of the 'False Flag' newsletter, talks about the tension within the online community that propelled these men to power.And in headlines: President Donald Trump issued a bunch of pardons for tax cheats, Elon Musk said the GOP's 'Big Beautiful Bill' undermines the work he did at DOGE, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller reportedly wants more deportations.Show Notes:Check out Will's newsletter – www.thebulwark.com/s/false-flagSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

For all the handwringing about saving democracy, government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" has given way to bureaucracy.

But the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law & Justice is fighting back!  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, our general counsel, Matt Britton, gives an update on the legal landscape of abortion... ...as well as how 40 Days for Life is: -Working alongside law enforcement to protect unborn children in states like Missouri and North Dakota; -Catching Planned Parenthood's IRS violations--and holding the abortion giant accountable; -Ending the legal persecution of 40 Days for Life leaders; -Much more!

Wednesday's second hour.

In this episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Sperrazza and Glenn Wiggle go full throttle on the week's political insanity. From Elon Musk's mission to reshape humanity to the media meltdown over deporting MS-13 gang members, the hosts expose the absurd priorities of the left. They unpack the latest on abortion culture, crime in American cities, Gavin Newsom's $2.8 billion bailout request, and the crumbling state of public education. Plus, they dig into the future of AI, American manufacturing, and why Trump's trade strategy might just be the reset the economy needs. Buckle up—this one's unfiltered, unapologetic, and all fire.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt joins The Winston Marshall Show for a no-holds-barred conversation on the decay of American institutions—from Soros-backed prosecutors to Big Tech censorship.Schmitt recounts his early battles against "taxation by citation" in Ferguson, exposing how local bureaucrats turned traffic tickets into a cash cow—and how that injustice sparked bipartisan reform.He lifts the lid on the Soros NGO network, the rise of activist judges, and the collapse of law and order in cities like St. Louis, where violent crime surged while prosecutors turned a blind eye.The conversation turns to Missouri v. Biden, where Schmitt helped expose government coordination with social media giants to silence dissenting voices on COVID, vaccines, and lockdowns. He blasts the Biden administration's Disinformation Governance Board as “Orwellian,” and warns that the First Amendment is on life support.All this—free speech under siege, activist judges, USAID scandals, and the $2 trillion debt crisis no one wants to talk about… #trump #courts #america -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction1:31 Senator Eric Schmidt's Political Journey2:40 Racial Tensions and the Role of NGOs8:10 Impact of the 2020 Protests and Riots16:10 Activist Judges and the Role of the Supreme Court24:14 The Missouri vs. Biden Lawsuit34:13 USAID and the De-Funding Movement40:48 The Economic Impact of Government Spending42:54 Foreign Policy and American Realism1:01:07 The Role of NGOs in Censorship and Disinformation1:03:32 The Future of American Politics and Policy Hosted on Acast.

At a Trump cabinet meeting, Kristi Noem announces her plan to eliminate FEMA as it exists today—calling it bloated, politicized, and broken. The PBD Podcast breaks down the bold move to return disaster relief power to the states.

China's breathtaking economic development has been driven by bureaucrats. Even as the country transitioned away from socialist planning toward a market economy, the economic bureaucracy retained a striking degree of influence and control over crafting and implementing policy. Yet bureaucrats are often dismissed as faceless and inconsequential, their role neglected in favor of party leaders' top-down rule or bottom-up initiatives.< Markets with Bureaucratic Characteristics (Columbia UP, 2024) offers a new account of economic policy making in China over the past four decades that reveals how bureaucrats have spurred large-scale transformations from within. Yingyao Wang demonstrates how competition among bureaucrats motivated by careerism has led to the emergence of new policy approaches. Second-tier economic bureaucrats instituted distinctive―and often conflicting―“policy paradigms” aimed at securing their standing and rewriting China's long-term development plans for their own benefit. Emerging from the middle levels of the bureaucracy, these policy paradigms ultimately reorganized the Chinese economy and reshaped state-market relations. Drawing on fine-grained biographical and interview data, Wang traces how officials coalesced around shared career trajectories, generational experiences, and social networks to create new alliances and rivalries. Shedding new light on the making and trajectory of China's ambitious economic reforms, this book also provides keen sociological insight into the relations among bureaucracy, states, and markets.

Stigall continues to get angry mail from people who think he's being unkind in his discussions about the federal workforce. As he continues to try to explain, it's not about being unkind - it's about our national survival. How to we come to a place where American states are relying on Canada for their energy needs? Why are American towns hollowed out with no options for work except fast food and government jobs? It's by design. Bureaucrats and politicians have sold us up the river and now Trump is trying to force an uncomfortable national conversation on how to reverse course. It will not be a quick fix. Plus, Tony Schaffer on what's next with Ukraine and Russia now that Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire agreement. Will Russia agree? And with the House passing the CR yesterday, it lands in the Senate where it will need 6 or 7 Democrats to keep the government from shutting down. Friday is the deadline. Can they get there? Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Cacucus breaks it down. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Global Coin, for exclusive listener offers go to https://www.shopglobalcoin.com/pages/stigall or call 1-888-560-3125.-Keep up with the Trump Administration when you subscribe to The Trump Report.

Mike kicks off a fresh month of Patreon picks alongside Cullen Gallagher and Rob St. Mary to unpack the satirical brilliance of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea's 1966 gem, Death of a Bureaucrat. When a revered Cuban sculptor invents a revolutionary bust-making machine only to meet his untimely demise at its mechanical hands, bureaucratic absurdity kicks into high gear. Buried proudly with his labor card, the sculptor inadvertently sparks a Kafkaesque quest as his widow and nephew wrestle hilariously with red tape, relentless officials, and ridiculous obstacles—all in pursuit of the one document standing between them and survival.

DOGE Leader Elon Musk Is Giving Spoiled/Delusional Federal Bureaucrats A Second Chance To Respond To The Email Asking If They Are Alive! Alex Jones Is LIVE On-Air Covering The Latest DOGE Developments & Breaking Major News

So much good stuff!  Don't be a menace to fellow motorists when failing to use your headlights in the dark - and don't mind while the Gearhead Consultancy laughs its pretty heads off when you get lit up (pun intended) by the Johnnies for DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE DARK WITH NO LIGHTS.  ...Way to act drunk or stoned or just dumb.  There's also some cop-on-politician violence (good), the Colorado Highway Patrol versus the CHiPs, a few thoughts on why motorcyclists' shoes fall off all the time, how the $5 billion spent by Joke Biden's DOT bureaucracy (under the deleadership of Pothole Pete) created exactly eight electric car chargers (and how the failure was caused by... bureaucracy...), and an analysis of how ineffective little beta "trucks" like Ford's Maverick are a wonderful analog for the weakness of pajama-clad pepperoni-armed top-knot beta boys. A few thoughts for the gearheads: Do jury duty.  It's so much fun (and you'll see law from it's unseemly underside). If you need your car to think for you, you're dumber. Remember when people bragged about being an elitist? Police bodycams are backfiring on politicians. While we're in there - and because the Garage Hour's audience appreciates folks who showed up and brought their A-game - we've got a heartfelt sendoff and Excellent Weirdo RIP for two great neighbors, George and Betty.  The world needs more folks like this, and we'll miss them.

Live from CPAC, Chairman James Comer, the man who has transformed the narrative surrounding Biden family corruption from mere conspiracy to a serious investigation, discusses significant inquiries into the government's handling of Havana Syndrome, foreign money flowing into U.S. universities, and ongoing efforts to expose waste and fraud in federal spending. Later, Dr. Miklos Szantho, the chairman of CPAC Hungary, shares his insights on the current political landscape in Europe. He discusses the challenges of free speech across the continent, the growing conservative movement in Hungary, and the importance of international collaboration among conservative forces. With a focus on the upcoming CPAC Hungary event, Miklos emphasizes the need for unity in defending traditional values against the backdrop of a powerful liberal agenda. Finally, Erica Donalds from the America First Policy Institute explores the implications of potential changes in federal education policy, the significance of block grants, and how education savings accounts can empower parents.

Patrick Gunnels and Ashe in America break down the high-stakes negotiations happening in Riyadh, where Trump is cutting NATO out of the Ukraine peace process. European leaders are furious as they realize Trump is forcing them to take responsibility for their own defense, signaling a new era of regional alliances and a potential death blow to NATO as we know it. Back in Washington, Kash Patel's confirmation is dragging on, with Democrats using every stall tactic in the book to delay Trump's FBI pick. Meanwhile, Howard Lutnick is already shaping trade policy before even being confirmed, proving once again that Democrats aren't scared of tariffs, they're terrified of who's exposing their corruption. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's DOGE operation has expanded, launching agency-specific accounts so the public can report waste, fraud, and abuse directly—and the bureaucrats are panicking. With gold quietly being moved, Ukraine's leverage evaporating, and Washington's power structure shifting, the swamp is running out of lifelines.

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Federalist CEO Sean Davis and Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle dive behind the scenes into the key bipartisan legislation that paved the way for Americans to audit federal bureaucrats. T explain how agencies like USAID are still trying to hide their abuse of taxpayer funds.If you care about combating the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

Patrick Gunnels and Ashe in America break down the latest panic in D.C. as Elon Musk steamrolls through the federal bureaucracy, firing entrenched government workers faster than courts can even process their legal challenges. A federal judge admits Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is moving so fast that Democrats can't even figure out how to stop it, leaving the swamp scrambling for options. Meanwhile, gold is disappearing, Fort Knox remains a mystery, and London is quietly shipping billions in gold bars to the U.S. Are we witnessing a historic financial shift, or is something even bigger happening behind the scenes? With Trump tightening America's economic grip and global markets bracing for impact, the guys dig into what this all means for the future of the dollar. On Capitol Hill, Trump just floated cutting the defense budget in half, sending neocons into full meltdown mode. With Pentagon accountants unable to explain where $850 billion actually goes every year, is this the beginning of the biggest financial reckoning in modern history? The swamp is running out of lifelines, and The Brief is here to cover every second of the collapse.

Jon Herold unpacks the gold rush-level panic sweeping Washington as Trump's administration tightens the financial noose around the establishment. With Elon Musk and Rand Paul calling for a Fort Knox audit, the sudden gold transfers from London to New York are raising serious questions. Is America's gold supply as solid as they claim, or are we about to witness a historic financial shake-up? Meanwhile, Trump's Ukraine peace talks are moving forward, without Ukraine. European leaders are fuming as they scramble to hold their own emergency meetings, trying to figure out what happens when Trump, Putin, and Saudi Arabia make the decisions instead. Zelensky, desperate to stay relevant, has rejected Trump's rare earth minerals deal, but with U.S. aid drying up, his leverage is disappearing fast. Back in D.C., the bureaucratic purge continues, with thousands of government workers getting axed and blue-state attorneys general scrambling to stop Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from exposing more corruption. Internet searches for "BleachBit" and "offshore bank accounts" are skyrocketing in the swamp, proving one thing: they know what's coming. With Trump steamrolling through the courts, the deep state losing its funding pipelines, and the old system collapsing in real-time, the stage is set for a political reckoning like we've never seen before.

CannCon and Chris Paul break down the deep state's latest legal temper tantrum as 14 state attorneys general sue Elon Musk, claiming his oversight of the federal bureaucracy is unconstitutional. The same people who had no problem with shadowy government agencies running unchecked for decades are suddenly very concerned about "authority." Meanwhile, USAID employees are panicking as another judge tries and fails to protect their taxpayer-funded slush funds, with billions in foreign aid drying up overnight. On the world stage, Trump just flipped the trade table with his reciprocal tariff policy, meaning the U.S. will now charge the same rates on imports as other countries charge on American goods. The EU, India, and China are already reeling as they realize their days of taking advantage of America's open markets are over. Meanwhile, the meltdown over Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) hits new levels of absurdity, with the IRS next in line for a full audit and mass layoffs already underway at the Small Business Administration and Department of Education. With Trump cutting the deep state's financial pipeline, exposing regulatory overreach, and taking a wrecking ball to globalist trade deals, the swamp is running out of lifelines.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – For all their wailing about Elon Musk being an "unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat" doing damage to the nation, Democrats seem oblivious to the actual unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats running the federal leviathan and the damage they are doing to the nation.

Episode 4236: Seizing Of The Institutions From The Bureaucrats

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into three key issues: the debut of the new White House Press Secretary, the manipulative tactics of anti-Trump bureaucrats, and California Democrats' wanting to let people sue energy companies for natural disasters.First, they praise new White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for her polished performance, sharp policy explanations, and ability to spar with reporters without heavy reliance on notes—offering a sharp contrast to Karine Jean-Pierre. Jim and Greg also highlight how many in the press corps immediately shift from lapdogs to pit bulls when a Republican administration comes in.Next, they expose how left-wing bureaucrats intentionally misinterpret Trump's executive orders to generate bad press or force policy reversals. Examples include the U.S. Air Force claiming it would stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen due to Trump's DEI directives and the confusion over the  federal spending freeze.Finally, they analyze California Democrats' push to let residents sue energy companies for damages from natural disasters, blaming fossil fuels for climate change. Jim explains why this legislation is more about political scapegoating than addressing the root causes of disasters.

I was surprised to see someone with such experience in the pharmaceutical industry say this, because it goes against how I understood the FDA to work. My model goes: FDA procedures require certain bureaucratic tasks to be completed before approving drugs. Let's abstract this into “processing 1,000 forms”. Suppose they have 100 bureaucrats, and each bureaucrat can process 10 forms per year. Seems like they can approve 1 drug per year. If you fire half the bureaucrats, now they can only approve one drug every 2 years. That's worse! https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/bureaucracy-isnt-measured-in-bureaucrats

Former Trump defense attorney and current Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has issued orders to US Attorneys to investigate and prosecute local law enforcement officials who fail to enforce the Trump Administration's deportation policies; career DOJ officials are being reassigned and purged to make way for Trump loyalists; Judge Cannon has issued an order blocking Congress from accessing Volume 2 of Jack Smith's final report; the new US Attorney in DC begins dropping pending January 6th cases while federal judges push back on Trump's pardons of January 6th convicts.

A new documentary from Palladium Pictures and The Wall Street Journal examines how Britain's permanent bureaucracy—nicknamed “The Blob”—played a pivotal role in ending Liz Truss' brief tenure in late 2022 as prime minister. Through interviews with Truss and other key players, director Michael Pack, a former CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, reveals how unelected technocrats and civil servants—Britain's equivalent of the American deep state—pushed back against her economic reforms, ultimately leading to her resignation after just 44 days in office. Pack spoke with The Daily Signal about the growing power of Britain's administrative state—and lessons President-elect Donald Trump should glean from the episode as he assumes power in the United States. "The Blob is a lot stronger than you think," Pack told The Daily Signal. "A lot of people on the Republican side seem to be pretty confident that they'll be able to radically reform the departments and organizations that they're nominated to head. But I think the Liz Truss story suggests 'the Blob' has a lot of power to fight back." Watch the full documentary: https://youtu.be/c3q9gGhRrjA This is Pack's second documentary with The Wall Street Journal. His first film of the series, "'Get the Jew': The Crown Heights Riot Revisited," debuted in October. It tells the story of the America's worst antisemitic riot, which took place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 1991. "The idea of the series was to cover events or things that happened in the past that were either misreported, ignored, or just sent down the memory hole," Pack explained. Pack's most notable film, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," tells the remarkable story of the legendary U.S. Supreme Court justice. With his latest documentary, Pack hopes to educate Americans about the fights facing the incoming Trump administration as it seeks to reform Washington. From his time at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Pack has firsthand experience with America's version of "the Blob." "In my own little world, I did see what it was like to face the administrative state," Pack said of his seven months as CEO. "Most of us, myself included, tend to think of the administrative state as an American problem, and the Liz Truss documentary makes clear that it is a problem of the West," he added. "These bureaucrats are the same in London, Paris, New York, D.C. They go to the same colleges, they're taught the same ideas." Watch the full documentary below.
