Foreign Influence: Blurring Business and Policy Through Bipartisan Access
Understand how foreign interests openly merge political access with direct financial dealings, bypassing traditional ethical firewalls through mechanisms ranging from personal phone calls to massive crypto infusions. Discover the historical playbook that US lobbyists perfected and how it now operates in the age of personality politics.
Short Summary
- Foreign influence operations now openly blend political maneuvering with business deals, abandoning previous efforts to hide impropriety.
- Lobbyists successfully sell proximity to power—not ideology—to international leaders seeking specific policy outcomes or protection.
- The mechanism of influence is increasingly bipartisan, with operatives serving the highest bidder rather than adhering strictly to party lines.
This discussion with reporter Ken Vogel centers on his book, Devil's Advocate, detailing how foreign interests secure access in Washington. We explore the blatant example of President Trump offering his son Eric’s business services to the Indonesian President and trace the deep, bipartisan history of using lobbyists to change US foreign policy alignment. Finally, we assess the evolution of influence techniques from Cold War ideology to direct, untraceable cash flows via digital assets.

This country is finished, way too corrupt to go forward like this! This is just stupid corrupt.
Saagar voted for even more obvious corruption than lobbying 😅
I love that he’s so dedicated to corruption! Best grift president ever!! ❤❤❤
In his defense: If you were in business you'd want to meet with the Dumb one too. (So yes, Eric).
We need an anti corruption department ran and elected by the people and make it a no party affiliation zone by law.
Like I said this was just a monetary gain for Trump ! It’s Trump first and the hell with everyone else !
Corruption, corruption, corruption and corruption
"I want to give Erik money so he can give to you then you can do what I want"
Most corrupt US president in history. And there was a lot of corruption in the past.
Are we surprised? You all have to be kidding
