    Corruption by Design, with David Sirota

    David Sirota had no idea that getting assigned to a little-known congressman from New England would end up shaping the rest of his life. That New England congressman was Bernie Sanders, and David quickly learned why our political and economic systems work the way they do, and that it’s no accident. Caleb talks to David about his life and career, how corruption entrenched itself in our lives, and the one indulgence that is capable of corrupting him.  SponsorsWurthy - https://partners.wurthy.co/UNC - https://ohmyfraud.promo/UNC CONNECT WITH DAVIDhttps://www.davidsirota.com/https://x.com/davidsirota  Get NASBA Approved CPE or IRS Approved CELaunch the course on EarmarkCPE to get free CPE/CE Download the app: Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.app Questions?
