SummaryNo matter what political ideology we have, we all agree that we deserve ethical government. But, trust in government in the US and around the world is at historic lows. Much of this falling trust comes from seeing political officials use their power to enrich themselves at the cost of the public good. In this episode, Walter Shaub—a leading voice—helps us understand why ethics in government is worth fighting for. He also shares his fascinating experiences doing just that, along with issues at the forefront today. Shaub is one of my personal heroes, and I'm excited for you to hear why I admire him so much.

Trump proved presidents have way too much power. It's easy to flaunt anti-corruption laws in the highest office because, well, they hardly exist. We mostly have cute little "norms" and guidelines. So when should those "norms" be made into laws, and how can we stop the ever-expanding power of the executive branch? Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, had a front row seat to the worst impulses of one of the most corrupt administrations... ever. Where it was Donald Trump's refusal to divest from his organization or Kellyanne Conway hawking Ivanka jewelry on television. Shaub's job was to try and hold Trump minimally accountable which, as you can imagine, became impossible. Shaub resigned in July of 2017, citing the administration's disregard for basic government oversight and the stonewalling of his office. Now Shaub continues the work advocating for reform of the executive branch outside of government. He spoke with Francesca about his time in OGE under Trump, the importance of voting rights, and assesses whether Biden is doing what he can to prevent a future Trump.

From his stint on a Ukrainian oligarch's company board to endless conspiracy theories about his laptop, the career path of the president's son Hunter Biden has ignited controversy for years. His recent foray into the art world, however, has put him under fire outside the familiar corners of the political right.Take former President Barack Obama's ethics czar Walter Shaub, whose criticism has been persistent and stinging.The week after the New York Times reported that the First Son hopes to fetch up to $500,000 apiece for some 15 works of art, Shaub did not mince words."I just think that's absolutely appalling," Shaub said on Law&Crime's podcast "Objections: With Adam Klasfeld.""Now, that's a criticism of Hunter Biden, and he's a sympathetic character, who we can feel bad for on many levels," Shaub continued. "But some of his problems are of his own making, in that he has always built his career around being Joe Biden's son. And here he is doing that, once again. If he were a patriot—if he cared about this country—he would not want to tarnish his father's reputation that way."Learn more about why Shaub believes the fledgling artist's debut showing—and the White House's response to it—stands in the way of an "ethical Renaissance" in Washington, which he fears will undermine the president's promise to turn the corner from the Trump era.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can transparency, oversight, ethics and accountability save American democracy? What can Congress do to create lasting ethics reforms? How would the For the People Act change ethics rules for the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the U.S. government and are the changes enough? How can the Office of Government Ethics and Office of the Inspector General contribute to democratic accountability? How can Congress get a toe hold into reigning in presidential power?In this episode of the Democracy Matters podcast from the JMU Center for Civic Engagement, hosts Abe Goldberg, Carah Ong Whaley, and Angelina Clapp talk with Walter Shaub, who leads the Ethics and Accountability Initiative at the Project on Government Oversight about what elected and other government officials and the public can do to create and implement long-lasting reforms to shore up the barricades against authoritarianism.Additional InformationDemocracy Matters podcastProject on Government OversightWalter Shaub on TwitterJMU Civic
Sam and Emma host author Elinor Cleghorn to discuss her new book, “Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World” on how healthcare and medical treatment have underserved women and their health needs. They start the conversation by discussing Elinor's personal experiences that brought her to this topic, focused on years of dismissal and misdiagnosis focused on her reproductive system before she was officially diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and how this reflects the dynamic around gender and sex in the medical industry. Then, Cleghorn walks Sam and Emma through a long history of the development of the medical practice, including the Hippocratic authors filtering their interpretation of symptoms into diagnosis through social roles and reproduction, the influence of religious myths, such as the creation story of Adam and Eve, on altering the view of female bodies, and how developments around women's health in the 19th Century were constantly dominated by abusive medical practices and experimentation on enslaved women, with the former continuing well into the 1900s. Emma and Sam round out the free half with a discussion on the firing of a contemporary issues teacher for assigning a Ta-Nehisi Coates article within the greater cultural context of conservatives screaming “anti-white agenda” despite the actual underlying power dynamics in U.S. education. And in the Fun Half: Donald Trump Jr. gives a chaotic update of his top 25 State rankings, including a little Texas bump mid-speech, Gregory from OK calls in to announce his candidacy for HD-26 in the Oklahoma State House of Representatives, and Rami from Atlanta delivers the devastating news to Yaron and Libertarian's everywhere that private company-led research tends to be quite biased. After Sandy calls in from Ontario to cover the inhuman hypocrisies of Justin Trudeau on the welfare of Indigenous Canadians, Sam and Emma look into Rick Scott's policy outlines on “no woke stuff” and “having great values,” and Walter Shaub worries about how Hunter Biden's art sales might cause a path for presidential bribery, plus, your calls and IMs!

When talking about ethics rules in government, a lot of the conversation revolves around the rules, but enforcement is far more complicated. With appointees and higher-level executives, enforcement is largely absent, but rank-and-file public servants can face fines, suspensions and other punishments for violating the Hatch Act. In the second of our two-part conversation with the Project on Government Oversight’s Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette and Walter Shaub, we discuss the enforcement of ethics rules including the Hatch Act and how ethics enforcement can be strengthened. We also talked about the revolving door provisions of Biden’s ethics executive order and concerns about the revolving door going forward.
Serving in the federal government comes with specific ethical requirements, whether you're the president or a GS-2. My next guest, Walter Shaub led the Office of Government Ethics for several years. Now he's joined an external gadfly, the Project on Government Oversight, where he's leading a new Ethics and Accountability initiative.
