Podcasts about money politics

One of the biggest stories in the 2026 Michigan Democratic Senate primary isn't just the candidates—it's the money. AIPAC's affiliated Super PAC, United Democracy Project, has poured more than $10 million into the race backing Representative Haley Stevens, part of a broader wave of outside spending that has topped $40 million. The spending has far outpaced support for her opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, and has reignited debate over the influence of Super PACs and pro-Israel advocacy groups in Democratic primaries, especially when candidates are critical of Israeli government policy.

Joyce talks about Government spending and restoring government fiscal responsibility. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most people underestimate just how deeply the Southern Poverty Law Center influences the political and social landscape — until now. In this eye-opening episode, Jennifer Roback Morris exposes shocking allegations: billions in offshore bank accounts, orchestrated violent events, and the SPLC's disturbing role in censoring and financially damaging genuine conservative and Christian organizations. This is a behind-the-scenes look at a supposed civil rights organization gone rogue, with potential criminal charges on the horizon. You'll discover: how the SPLC's financial dealings raise serious questions about transparency and intent, including links to offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands worth nearly a billion dollars. We break down how their controversial tactics—using informants and orchestrating violent protests—have fueled violence, distorted public perception, and unjustly targeted innocent groups like the Ruth Institute. Jennifer shares insights into the consequences of being wrongly labeled a hate group, from losing credit card processing to being blocked from monetizing YouTube channels—actions that threaten free expression and Christian advocacy. You'll also learn about the recent legal developments: federal charges in Alabama, the potential for indictments, and what this could mean for the future of organizations like the SPLC. Jennifer discusses whether this is a turning point for conservative voices, and how corporate America's stance might shift as transparency and accountability come to the forefront. This episode offers urgent clarity for anyone concerned about free speech, religious liberty, and the abuse of power by big NGOs.

Vivian sat down live at SXSW with California Governor Gavin Newsom for a candid conversation about why everything feels so expensive right now, how the government is and isn't showing up for everyday Americans, and what it will actually take to close the wealth gap. In this episode, you'll learn: How Governor Newsom's upbringing between two very different worlds — his mom working multiple jobs and his dad's connections to the Getty family — shaped the way he thinks about wealth, power, and opportunity, and what his experience as a small business owner taught him about the difference between running a company and running a government. The biggest financial obstacles standing between Americans and a better quality of life today, why generational wealth and the housing crisis sit at the center of the problem, and what policy changes could actually move the needle structurally. How to think about the role of government in your personal finances, what resources already exist that most people aren't taking advantage of, and what Governor Newsom believes is flying under the radar that every American should be paying attention to right now. What Governor Newsom would do if he could pass one economic policy tomorrow with zero opposition, whether AI will make inequality worse before it gets better, and — because Vivian had to ask — what's actually next for Gavin Newsom.

Fu Banger sits down to breakdown his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsters, surviving Rikers, and navigating the federal system after the 6ix9ine RICO case exploded. He details what really happened inside Manhattan Correctional Center's SHU the night Jeffrey Epstein died — what he saw, what inmates were saying, and why the entire unit felt off. Fu also explains why he believes 6ix9ine staged his recent "home invasion robbery," and gives his honest reaction to Diddy's viral prison photos and the trouble they may bring. He opens up about his time at a federal low-security prison, including how the yard handled high-risk inmates, predators, and those with serious charges, and what daily life at a low really looks like. #FuBanger #NineTrey #RICOCase #6ix9ine #Epstein #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #lockedinwithianbick Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

This special Thanksgiving edition brings you part two of a dynamic Independent Veterans of America Winners Circle Town Hall featuring IVA 2026 Senate candidates Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and Dan Osborn of Nebraska—two independent veterans who are taking on entrenched incumbents, big money, and a broken two-party system.​ From New York City on Thanksgiving Day, Paul sets the table with gratitude for servicemembers, military families, cops, firefighters, and first responders who are working while the rest of America is watching parades and football. Then the conversation turns to the future: what it really looks like to run as an independent veteran in deeply red states, how to talk to voters across race and party lines in rural communities, and why so many Americans are fed up with being forced to choose between Trump on the right and Mamdani-style extremes on the left.​ Ty Pinkins shares what it means to campaign as an independent veteran in Mississippi—knocking doors in rural counties, bridging racial and political divides, and showing people that common sense, decency, and service still have a place in American politics. Dan Osborn, the former Navy veteran and mechanic who shook the establishment with a close U.S. Senate race in Nebraska, talks about why he is running again in 2026, how his grassroots movement has grown, and what it takes to challenge a billionaire-backed incumbent with nothing but grit, community, and a mission to put country first.​ Paul ties it all together with a Thanksgiving message about why veteran leadership matters as crises continue in places like Ukraine and Venezuela and as National Guard deployments ramp up at home, and why this independent veteran wave is just getting started. If you are an independent—or independent-curious—American who is tired of being politically homeless, or if you have ever thought about running for office yourself, this episode is a must-listen and a call to action. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

There is a critical need to reform the international financial architecture (IFA) – the framework of institutions, policies, rules and practices that govern the global financial system. In the episode, IIED's Laura Kelly and Mohsen Gul set the scene by explaining why the IFA needs to be fit for purpose and work for everyone, including the least developed countries (LDCs), and why discussions around IFA reforms must include the voices of lower-income countries, LDCs and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). IIED's chief economist Paul Steele then outlines three priorities for reform of the IFA. We also hear from IIED's Ritu Bharadwaj who discusses the Global SIDS Debt Sustainability Support Service, co-designed by IIED to alleviate crippling levels of debt and build economic resilience, and IIED partner Isatou Camara, who calls for faster and more accessible funding to reach the most vulnerable countries.

What is a Golden Age?   This week, join Cyrus Palizban and Rainer Franz, the Business Development Director at Lightning, as we discuss Rainer's lecture series on the Golden Ages, discussing the rise and fall of great civilizations like Greece, Persia, and Rome. We explore the concept of a 'Golden Age,' how the phases of civilizations are compared to seasonal cycles, and the difference between Oswald Spengler's deterministic views and Arnold Toynbee's focus on societal rigidity. We touch upon the conspicuous parallels between the Greco-Roman civilization and the present state of the West. Delving into historical parallels, the role of philosophy, and the influence of past writings on contemporary society, we wonder what can be done to ensure a continued future for the West.    00:00 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Empires 00:19 Guest Introduction: Meet Rainer Franz 01:06 Defining the Golden Ages 01:13 The Influence of Oswald Spengler 03:03 Rainer's Interest in Historical Parallels 04:13 Learning from History: Practical Applications 05:22 The Power of Reading and Imagination 08:29 What Makes a Society? 10:17 Oswald Spengler's Philosophy and the Ur Symbol 12:34 The Lifecycle of Civilizations 13:22 Greek and Roman Civilizations: A Comparative Analysis 23:14 The Roman Legacy and Its Modern Relevance 24:04 The Preservation of Ancient Wisdom 24:46 Western Fascination with Greece and Rome 25:15 The Role of Time in Different Civilizations 27:07 The Impact of Rome on Civilization 29:14 Spengler's Theory on the Life Cycle of Civilizations 30:16 Comparing Spengler and Toynbee's Views 33:17 The Transition from Money Politics to Power Politics 39:03 Modern Parallels to Ancient Civilizations 43:11 The Potential for a New Beginning 44:45 Join the Conversation If you're craving a deeper exploration of these topics, consider joining Rainer's lecture series through the link in the description.   https://smartlink2.metricool.com/public/smartlink/lightning-945

We dissect the education system for its perceived shortcomings - lack of accountability, teaching of revisionist history, limited curriculum diversity.

Peggy Lee struck a mournful chord with her hit song, “Is That All There Is?”It was about the vapidity of life, and I found myself subconsciously singing along last week as I pondered the GOP presidential debate. Of course, these made-for-TV spectacles are more akin to mud-wrestling than actual policy debates. Still, I dared hope for some tiny element of civic seriousness. After all, the eight aspirants were auditioning to be (“Oh, say can you see…”) the next President of the United States!Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for example, stands out as a textbook example of the vapidity of modern American politics – a rampaging ego with no core democratic principles, no authentic persona, no speaking from the heart… and no possibility of being elected except that special interest powers have pumped him up with a couple hundred million dollars to be their boy.Indeed, a strategy memo from DeSantis' own funders and consultants surfaced publicly just before last week's debate, confirming his vacuity – as a candidate and a person. The detailed memo instructed him to avoid talking about policy solutions, to “sledgehammer” an opponent, to appear both for and against Trump, and maybe show a little human emotion by talking about his kids. In short, he needs advisors to tell him how to be “himself.”DeSantis is hardly the first who-am-I candidate for the White House. Hillary Clinton's managers reintroduced her as the new “real” Hillary every couple of months in 2016, and Rick Perry's handlers tried to make him look smart by wearing horn-rimmed glasses.This lack of authenticity is now the norm, for it allows Big Money to shape candidates in its image. And that's why today's public policies are overwhelmingly based on what money wants, not on public need and honest principle.Enjoyed this post?

Money politics, or vote-buying in elections in Indonesia is still plural. The reason is because candidates for Parliament, local candidates, or anyone who advances in the electoral process, more often take shortcuts in seizing support, through voter vote buying. - Politik uang, atau pembelian suara pemilih dalam Pemilu di Indonesia masih jamak terjadi. Penyebabnya adalah karena para calon anggota DPR, calon kepala daerah, atau siapapun yang maju dalam proses elektoral, lebih sering mengambil jalan pintas dalam merebut dukungan, melalui pembelian suara pemilih.

Monetary Authorities: Capitalism and Decolonization in the American Colonial Philippines (Duke UP, 2022) investigates the ways in which racial and class hierarchies shaped the monetary policy and banking systems in the Philippines.

Lumba advances a powerful account of how the logics and practices of racial capitalism advanced the United States' ‘counter-decolonization' efforts in the Philippines. In this podcast, Lumba shares the book's back story, his theoretical inspirations that informed his core arguments, and the importance of understanding the global capitalist order from the perspective of postcolonial nations. Allan E. S. Lumba is a Global American Studies postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University's Charles Warren Center and visiting faculty in the Department of History. He has also served as resident fellow at the Newberry Library in Chicago and University of Michigan's Bentley Library.

In 1998, the Belitung, a ninth-century western Indian Ocean–style vessel, was discovered in Indonesian waters. Onboard was a full cargo load, likely intended for the Middle Eastern market, of over 60,000 Chinese Tang-dynasty ceramics, gold, and other precious objects. It is one of the most significant shipwreck discoveries of recent times, revealing the global scale of ancient commercial endeavors and the centrality of the ocean within the Silk Road story. But this shipwreck also has a modern tale to tell, of how nation-states appropriate the remnants of the past for their own purposes, and of the international debates about who owns—and is responsible for—shared heritage. The commercial salvage of objects from the Belitung, and their subsequent sale to Singapore, contravened the principles of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage and prompted international condemnation. The resulting controversy continues to reverberate in academic and curatorial circles. Major museums refused to host international traveling exhibitions of the collection, and some archaeologists announced they would rather see the objects thrown back in the sea than ever go on display. Shipwrecks are anchored in the public imagination, their stories of treasure and tragedy told in museums, cinema, and song. At the same time, they are sites of scholarly inquiry, a means by which maritime archaeologists interrogate the past through its material remains. Every shipwreck is an accidental time capsule, replete with the sunken stories of those on board, of the personal and commercial objects that went down with the vessel, and of an unfinished journey. In this moving and thought-provoking reflection of underwater cultural heritage management, Natali Pearson reveals valuable new information about the Belitung salvage, obtained firsthand from the salvagers, and the intricacies in the many conflicts and relationships that developed. In tracing the Belitung's lives and afterlives, Belitung: The Afterlives of a Shipwreck (U Hawaii Press, 2022) shifts our thinking about shipwrecks beyond popular tropes of romance, pirates, and treasure, and toward an understanding of how the relationships between sites, objects, and people shape the stories we tell of the past in the present.

Tiffany Muller returned to Kansas, where she made history in 2004 by becoming the first openly LGBTQ public official in Kansas, to campaign on behalf of Democrats. Muller — now president of End Citizens United, an organization that wants to get big money out of politics — says Republican candidates Kris Kobach and Derek Schmidt pose a fundamental threat to Democracy in the state.

To Remain Myself: The History of Onghokham (ASAA Southeast Asia Publications Series / NUS Press, 2022) is a particularly vivid biography of a remarkable individual, an Indonesian historian and public intellectual who was both a public figure and a multi-minority member, being Dutch educated, Indonesian Chinese, gay, alcoholic, irreligious and hedonist, in a conservative society. This is the first Indonesian biography where the interior life is closely recorded: the fears, doubts, confusions; the issues of sexuality, the mental breakdown, the jailing, the later success, joys and celebrity, as a historian, public intellectual and famous cook. This biography breaks out of the Indonesian Chinese category. It is primarily an Indonesian story. In its early chapters this biography reveals much about the ‘sugar king' Chinese aristocracy of Indonesia, from the inside. In its later chapters this book shows much about the development of Indonesians writing their own post-colonial history, and the intellectual influences on this writing. Onghokham was a senior public intellectual with over 300 writings over 50 years, containing original insights into many varied Indonesian topics, including colonial history and its effects on modern politics and society; the Indonesian Chinese; ‘outsiders' -- marginal people; the jago or brigand as people's champion; sexuality in Indonesia past and present; food; the Oedipus complex; painting; traditional Javanese beliefs from the palace to the peasant.

When Jakob Feinig speaks of moral economies, he's talking about we, the people – the currency users – and how we relate to the institutions that issue money, as well as our monetary knowledge and its ability to inform direct action. Needless to say, Modern Monetary Theory is an essential component of this. This week he and Steve discuss both moral economies and “monetary silencing,” a concept that gives shape to the frustration MMTers experience on a daily basis. Feinig has said he derived the term “silencing” from Paolo Freire, the Brazilian educator and philosopher who wrote about the dehumanizing nature of political silencing, denying people the right to participate in their own history. “There are moral economies that enable people to connect their lives and their needs to monetary design. And there is another process, and that's what I call monetary silencing, that disconnects people, that makes it seem like, oh, those are forces that are beyond your reach. This is something you should not be thinking about ... You have to try to work as hard as you can as an individual. And if you don't make it, or if you don't have enough for a decent life, that is your own fault. But please do not think about where it comes from.” Feinig gives historical examples of both moral economies and monetary silencing – though rather fewer of the former than the latter in recent times. During the US Civil War, the federal government issued the greenback, a brand new currency. Not only did it enable them to win the war, it also made visible the fact that the government has the power to spend money into existence. (Haven't we said the same about Covid stimulus checks?) The gold standard and bitcoin are among the notable monetary silencers, but some may be surprised to find FDR in this category. Feinig makes the case that he was one of the most successful. We cannot disagree. Jakob Feinig is a historical sociologist who writes about the connection between justice, democracy, and monetary design. He teaches at the State University of New York (Binghamton). His book, Moral Economies of Money: Politics and the Monetary Constitution of Society, will be published in October, 2022. @FeinigJakob on Twitter

In The Candidate's Dilemma: Anticorruptionism and Money Politics in Indonesian Election Campaigns (Cornell UP, 2022), Elisabeth Kramer tells the story of how three political candidates in Indonesia made decisions to resist, engage in, or otherwise incorporate money politics into their electioneering strategies over the course of their campaigns. As they campaign, candidates encounter pressure from the institutional rules that guide elections, political parties, and voters, and must also negotiate complex social relationships to remain competitive. For anticorruption candidates, this context presents additional challenges for building and maintaining their identities. Some of these candidates establish their campaign parameters early and are able to stay their course. For others, the campaign trail results in an avalanche of compromises, each one eating away at their sense of what constitutes "moral" and "acceptable" behavior. The Candidate's Dilemma delves into the lived experiences of candidates to offer a nuanced study of how the political and personal intersect when it comes to money politics, anticorruptionism, and electoral campaigning in Indonesia.
