For ten years, The Apprentice made Donald Trump a household name while creating a wholly fictional narrative that hid Trump’s criminal activity.

The Apprentice was much more than just a hit shows for Donald Trump, it was a calling card that gave him access to the world’s organized crime syndicates and helped him foster a cover story for a lifetime of crime.

As a talent handler on The Celebrity Apprentice, Noel Casler was an eyewitness to Donald Trump’s behind-the-scenes behavior. He joins Zev Shalev on the podcast to reveal secrets of the Apprentice: sex, drugs and Donald Trump. With panelists @LincolnsBible and @GregOlear.

In Part 2, The panel discusses how The Apprentice enabled Donald Trump’s organized crime activity around the world and exposes even more secrets of The Apprentice.

The post Secrets of The Apprentice appeared first on Narativ.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Epstein was a key member of a global arms trading network that sold weapons of war to the world’s most ruthless leaders.

Of the many terms used to describe Jeffrey Epstein’s tradecraft, international arms dealer rarely comes up. Epstein became globally infamous for trafficking in teenage girls and blackmailing politicians with compromising evidence of encounters with those women.

The human trafficking and blackmailing operation was just a means to an end – an elaborate cover story to protect from Epstein’s biggest secrets from leaking.

In this exclusive report, I reveal how Epstein was a key part of a global arms trading network which trafficked in weapons of war sold to countries mostly in the Middle East for decades.

I’m joined by Steve Hoffenberg, Epstein’s former business partner, strategic analyst Eric Garland and organized crime researcher @LincolnsBible.

Narativ is premiering There’s Something About Rudy, a pop-up podcast about the man at the center of Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry, Rudy Giuliani.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT RUDY

Rudy Giuliani is fond of his nickname, America’s Mayor, which he earned after 9/11. It suits his reputation as a mob-busting federal prosecutor and a tough New York City Mayor.

These days Giuliani calls himself the president’s personal attorney and cybersecurity adviser, but the truth about Rudy is a far cry from the image he presents.

Here are all three episodes of Narativ’s pop-up series “There’s Something About Rudy”.

PART 1: MAFIA MYTHS

Part one is all about Rudy and the mob. Giuliani claims credit for the cracking down on La Cosa Nostra as a federal prosecutor in the 1980s, but that’s only part of the story.

PART 2: RUSSIAN MISSION

My investigation into Rudy Giuliani leads me to a Ukrainian oligarch with direct ties to Vladimir Putin and a discovery of a series of ‘consulting’ agreements that appear to be bribes.

PART 3: LIBYA SCHEME

Rudy Giuliani has been linked to many world leaders of questionable repute and businessmen who play fast and loose with the law, but a connection to a Libyan oil smuggling ring involving ISIS is the last thing I expected.

MORE RUDY IN THESE PODCASTS

For the Rudy pods, my special thanks to colleagues @LincolnsBible and @PortlusGlam. They are required follows, in my opinion.
