ABOUT THIS EPISODE
FBI agents search a quiet house in Alexandria, Virginia and find 303 gold bars, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches. The man who lives there has a top secret clearance and seventeen years at the CIA. Chalin walks through what a security clearance actually requires — the polygraphs, the reinvestigations, the questions designed to catch exactly this kind of lie — and asks how none of it caught David Rush. Plus: the U.S. hits $40 trillion in debt, and a look inside the secretive process for choosing the UN's next Secretary-General.

An all-Filipino crew of 23 had been stranded at anchor in the Persian Gulf for more than a month. There was one way out.
