Kyle Overmyer was a cop who crossed the line — battled addiction and ended up in prison. Michael Smitty Smith was a Philadelphia prison guard and cop who spent his entire career on the right side of the badge. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick they sit down face to face for the first time — and nothing is off limits. They go deep on what creates a corrupt cop, how former officers are treated inside prison, what prison actually does to people who have worn a badge, whether someone who betrayed the badge can ever truly earn trust back and the moral dilemmas that reveal exactly who each of them really is. _____________________________________________ #corruption #cops #truecrimecommunity _____________________________________________ Thank you to NOCD & CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: NOCD: visit https://www.treatmyocd.com/ to book a free 15-minute call _____________________________________________ CASH APP: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Donald Bowser helped set up the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and works as an international security and law enforcement advisor. “You want to fight Russia? Then what you need to do is fight corruption in Ukraine. Russia's greatest fear is to have a well-governed country next to it,” he told me. We also discussed the bombing in Monte Carlo targeting oligarch Vadym Iermolaiev, the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, and the appointment of a highly controversial figure, Oleksandr Poklad, who is now the acting chief of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). And how did he answer my question about whether President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is clean when it comes to corruption? Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi!

In The Faithfulness of A Spiritual Father Part 2, we explore the characteristics of a spiritual father from Paul's legacy in 2 Timothy. As the Apostle Paul faced the end of his earthly life, his focus remained firmly on the next generation of leadership for the church. Through expository preaching on 2 Timothy 1, we observe how Paul responded to God given remembrances. His deep gratitude highlights the profound impact of passing on a legacy of faith. True biblical discipleship requires more than just sharing knowledge; it demands genuine affection and constant prayer. A faithful mentor recognizes that our lives belong to a greater heritage of grace stretching across the ages. Corrupt lives do not belong to this lineage, which is why a clear conscience and sincere devotion are vital for faithful service. Pastor Richard Caldwell demonstrates how Paul invested deeply in Timothy with eternity in mind. Godly mentors express unceasing loyalty and actively look for the Holy Spirit's work in the lives of those they lead. We are challenged to examine our own relationships and purposefully encourage others in their sincere faith. Key Biblical Takeaways: - Recognize your place in the legacy of faith by viewing your life as part of an ongoing, unchanging gospel heritage. - Cultivate a clear conscience and sincere devotion, knowing that personal holiness is essential for effective service to the church. - Pray unceasingly for the next generation of believers, demonstrating a loyal love that goes far beyond superficial relationships. - Affirm the genuine work of God in others by purposefully and sincerely encouraging them in their walk with Christ.

Today's Bible Verse: "The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people." — Daniel 4:17 God Is Still in Control Daniel 4:17 is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty. Spoken during King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, this verse reminds us that no ruler, nation, or earthly authority exists outside of God's knowledge and control. The purpose of God's message was clear: everyone should recognize that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the earth. Want to listen without ads?

Full Transcript Below: Hello, thank you for listening to Your Daily Bible Verse, the podcast that examines one verse each day to learn more about God and His will for us. I'm your host, Carol McCracken, and after a short word from our sponsor, we'll dive into today's Bible verse, Daniel 4:17. Today's Bible Verse: Daniel 4:17 "The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people." Have you ever noticed that power seems to change people? I'm in the middle of watching some small-town politics publicly clashing, and it got me thinking. It doesn't seem to matter whether we're talking about a president, a mayor, a CEO, a pastor, or even the president of the neighborhood homeowners association. Give someone enough authority, enough influence, and enough people who stop asking hard questions, and something begins to surface. Sometimes power reveals remarkable humility and wisdom. Other times it exposes pride that had been quietly growing for years. We've watched enough public scandals to know the pattern. Someone rises to a position of influence. They're admired, respected, maybe even trusted. Little by little, accountability begins to disappear. People look the other way. Those closest to the situation either become afraid to speak or convince themselves that someone else surely will. Then one day, what had been hidden becomes impossible to ignore, and everyone asks the same question: How did this happen? As followers of Christ, we often ask another question: If God is sovereign, why does He allow people to misuse power for so long? Why doesn't He step in sooner? Why does it sometimes seem as though arrogance, manipulation, and corruption continue unchecked? Those aren't new questions. In fact, the Bible answers them through the life of one of history's most powerful men. King Nebuchadnezzar ruled Babylon during the sixth century B.C. Under his leadership, Babylon became the dominant empire of the ancient world. The city itself was breathtaking. Massive walls surrounded it. Magnificent temples and palaces displayed unimaginable wealth. Ancient historians even described the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon as one of the wonders of the world. Humanly speaking, Nebuchadnezzar had every reason to believe he'd built something that would outlast him. But there was one problem. He slowly began to believe that the success of Babylon was ultimately because of him. Daniel tells us that God gave Nebuchadnezzar a disturbing dream. In the dream was an enormous tree that provided shelter, food, and security for the nations. Then suddenly, the tree was cut down. Daniel explained that the tree represented the king himself. God was warning Nebuchadnezzar that unless he humbled himself and acknowledged the Lord's authority, his kingdom would be taken from him for a time. What strikes me is what happened next. Nothing. Not immediately, anyway. God didn't judge him the next day. He didn't remove him from office that week. In fact, Daniel tells us an entire year passed. Think about that—a full year between the warning and the judgment. Now, that wasn't weakness on God's part. It was patience. Scripture consistently reveals a God who warns before He disciplines, who calls people to repentance before He brings judgment. The apostle Peter later writes that God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. Nebuchadnezzar experienced that same patience firsthand. Then came the defining moment. Daniel says the king was walking on the roof of his royal palace overlooking the magnificent city of Babylon. Imagine the view. Everywhere he looked were monuments to his accomplishments. It must have been breathtaking. And as he surveyed the city, he said: "Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?" Listen to those personal pronouns: "I have built." "My mighty power." "My majesty." His problem wasn't appreciating good leadership. It was forgetting where every opportunity, every ability, and every position of authority had come from in the first place. Before the words had even left his mouth, God fulfilled the warning He had given a year earlier. Nebuchadnezzar lost both his kingdom and his sanity. For a season, he lived apart from society until, as Daniel records, he finally lifted his eyes toward heaven. Only then did his understanding return. And the first thing he did was praise the God he had once ignored. That's the backdrop for today's verse: "The Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth." Daniel wasn't simply making a statement about Babylon. He was revealing a truth that applies to every generation. Every throne on earth is temporary because there is only one throne that is eternal. That truth changes how we view the headlines. It's easy to become discouraged when we see leaders fail. It's tempting to believe that corruption is winning or that evil has escaped God's notice. But Daniel reminds us that God has never surrendered His authority. He's never been surprised by human pride, and He's never lost control of history. Sometimes God's patience is mistaken for His absence. It isn't. Throughout Scripture, God often allows time for a person's true character to become unmistakably clear. What looks hidden to us has always been fully visible to Him. There comes a moment when what has been cultivated in private is revealed in public. That should certainly make us pray for our leaders. But it should also make us examine our own hearts. Because here's the uncomfortable truth: This passage isn't only about kings. Most of us will never govern a nation, but every one of us has some measure of influence. We lead families. We supervise employees. We volunteer at church. We mentor younger believers. We make decisions that affect other people. Power isn't reserved for politicians. Influence is something God entrusts to every one of us in different ways. And the temptation is always the same: To believe the success is ours. To begin protecting our position instead of our character. To crave recognition more than faithfulness. Or maybe to slowly believe that we're indispensable. That's why humility isn't something we achieve once and keep forever. It's something we practice daily by remembering that everything we have is ultimately a gift from God. The older I get, the more convinced I become that power doesn't create character nearly as much as it reveals it. Pressure exposes what's already there. Authority magnifies what already lives in our hearts. And that's why Daniel's message remains so relevant. When we watch the rise and fall of leaders, we're reminded that no human being sits on an ultimate throne. God alone does. Our confidence isn't found in the wisdom of elected officials, church leaders, business executives, or anyone else. Our confidence rests in the One who raises leaders up, removes them when His purposes require it, and whose kingdom will never end. Daniel wanted every generation—including ours—to know this simple but life-giving truth: The Most High still rules. That means we don't have to panic when earthly kingdoms shake. We don't have to lose hope when people disappoint us. And we certainly don't have to believe that evil will have the final word. Because while every earthly position of power is temporary, God's reign is eternal. Prayer Will you pray with me? Dear Lord in heaven, Sometimes the world is a scary place, and we watch in horror at how people are acting. A little power corrupts, doesn't it? Or so it seems. You sit on Your throne, and nothing is a surprise to You. You see everything with perfect wisdom, and You love us even in our brokenness. Lord, reveal our character to us. Show us the places where pride has taken root. Help us become more like You each day, growing in humility, faithfulness, and dependence on You. We praise You, dear Lord, and we thank You. In Your precious name we pray. Amen. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

There are numerous examples of corruption in politics, but does it skew one direction lately? Debate! And Joe Concha joins us to discuss Graham Platner in Maine.
This week on Purple Political Breakdown: Trump's financial disclosure shows over 1.4 billion dollars in crypto related income tied to a company nobody can find on paper, the FBI has surged 260 analysts into re examining a Georgia election that's already been counted three times, and Russia hit Kyiv twice in five days right before a NATO summit. Radell connects the dots between all three, then digs into new Pew polling showing the world's confidence in America and Americans' confidence in their own democracy collapsing at the same time. Plus, a full breakdown of this Supreme Court term's biggest rulings on immigration, citizenship, and presidential power over independent agencies, the 2026 midterms landscape including a progressive upset in Denver, and the good news stories the rest of the media isn't covering.

Chuck Todd delivers a sweeping, big-picture meditation on the Trump era and where it's ultimately headed, arguing that despite the widespread conviction that Trump is teflon and that nothing will ever take him down, his presidency will end not with a bang but a whimper — and history won't remember it well. He predicts that a century from now Trump will be remembered somewhere between Grover Cleveland and Richard Nixon, and that his act, like every previous iteration of Trump, will eventually wear out its welcome with the public — because it always has, and he's already entered some version of lame-duck territory. The heart of the episode is Chuck’s astonishment at Trump's financial disclosure, which he calls a brazen catalog of impeachable offenses. His sharpest line reframes Trump's entire brand: he doesn't actually "own the libs" — he owns the people who send him money, and he's utterly oblivious to the plight of anyone who isn't rich. He closes on a genuinely searching note — observing that Trump is visibly aging and less sharp, that the country is tired of him and it's starting to show, that his single greatest fear is exposure and ridicule, and that he's proving to be nothing more than a grifter. Then, Carolyn Ryan — deputy managing editor of The New York Times — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a candid conversation about the state of American journalism at a moment when the Times has become, as Ryan puts it, one of the last big independent organizations left in news. Ryan makes the case that serious journalism has become almost impossible without the resources the Times can still muster — deep-dive reporting requires enormous time, the best legal team in the business to withstand the threats and lawsuits now routinely aimed at the press, and an ownership structure insulated from market pressure. She's blunt about the difference the Ochs-Sulzberger family makes: newsrooms owned by publicly traded companies inevitably change their behavior to satisfy shareholders, while the family that controls the Times is, in her words, "ride or die" for journalism — a distinction that has never mattered more than it does now, even as she praises the excellent nonprofit newsrooms springing up around the country. Ryan explains how the Times is building regional reporting hubs and investing heavily in places like Texas on the theory that a truly national news organization needs a journalist in every state, why book reporting from stars like Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan often lands with more impact and candor than day-to-day breaking news, and how the paper decides which reporters get the coveted book leave that produces those deeper stories. The conversation gets into the harder editorial questions facing the Times in the Trump era. Ryan discusses the paper's major investment in a more rigorous polling and data operation , its aggressive push into video to reach younger audiences, and the perennial tension over whether there should be a brighter line between the newsroom and the opinion page — a separation the Times has tried to clarify through design changes and by being more transparent about its process. Ryan is thoughtful about one of the thorniest challenges in modern journalism: how to handle the obvious lies told by Trump and other political figures, explaining that to actually call something a "lie" you have to establish intent, that the audience cares enormously about how things are described, and that the language should always be direct and forthright without tipping into hysteria. She closes with a sharp critique of the Pentagon kicking out reporters and banning contact with unauthorized military members — a policy she argues is not only unconstitutional but a direct threat to the journalism that keeps the public informed about how its military actually operates.

BadVolf: The true story of an American cop's retaliation against a corrupt system of justice and politics, forcing him to seek political asylum in RussiaThis true story is about John Mark Dougan, a Marine Corps veteran and former police officer who had enough of the violence and crime plaguing the Criminal Justice system. He blew the whistle and was retaliated against by the police administration. Dougan started setting up whistleblower websites all around the country for good cops to spill their secrets without fear or retribution. The justice system launched illegal investigation after investigation into every aspect of John's life, and John set up a clever operation to trick them into admitting they were illegally accessing his email and social media accounts. When the FBI ignored John's demands for an investigation, he became BadVolf, starting a digital war with the very law enforcement agencies who were retaliating against him. John tricked everyone, including the media, into believing he was a Russian hacker before engaging in a strategic, one-man campaign of disinformation, fake news, hacking, social engineering and doxing. John did all the activities that people love to blame on Russia, except he did it as an American citizen, on American soil; retribution and deception the only way to fight back against criminals in charge of local, state and federal American law enforcement agencies. After an eight-year-long battle, the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Dougan's home, ordering surveillance teams to follow and attempt to capture him at any cost. Dougan however, had other plans; he donned a disguise and slipped away into exile using the skills acquired in the Marine Corps, police agencies and from working with technology. This is the story of how BadVolf was created, and the resulting two-week long escape from these badge-toting criminals is a riveting story that led John to obtain political asylum in Russia.https://amzn.to/4eY1ZjJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Michael Murphy is a systems administrator from Chicago's Austin neighborhood running for Cook County Board President - as an independent - against one of the most entrenched political machines in America. No corporate PACs. No consultants. No backup. So what happens when a guy who fixes broken systems for a living looks at Cook County government and decides the whole thing just needs a reboot? In this episode, Brian sits down with Murphy to break down his "People Over Politics" pitch - cutting waste without cutting services, consolidating a transit mess three decades in the making, and selling pro-freedom positions to voters who've been told those things can't go together. Brian pushes him on the hard stuff too. What's the day-one waste cut? What does "reform without chaos" actually mean in Chicago? And what's the real math on an independent winning in machine country? Whether you're in Cook County or watching from a thousand miles away, this is a case study in something bigger... how you break a political machine when you've got no money, no party, and no permission.Because if it can work here?

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles recap a week in which Donald Trump stumbled from one self-inflicted crisis to the next, from mounting questions over his handling of Iran and another controversial intelligence pick to renewed scrutiny of the Epstein files and a White House increasingly consumed by political damage control. They also unpack Trump's plan to stage a UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House as part of the celebration for his 80th birthday, examining the ethics, symbolism, and political fallout of turning the People's House into the backdrop for one of his biggest spectacles yet. Along the way, they explain why Trump's allies are growing nervous, why Democrats see momentum shifting ahead of the midterms, and why the controversies he keeps trying to outrun may finally be catching up with him.
