Money in politics isn't new, but billionaire influence in our elections has reached staggering levels – and 2024 could break all previous election spending records. From the presidential race to down ballot elections and think tanks to media empires, wealthy donors are reshaping American democracy in ways voters rarely see. Joining us to follow the money trail are New York Times reporters Teddy Schleifer and Ken Vogel, who help us explore how the ultra-wealthy leverage their resources across the political landscape and what they expect in return.

  • Hello everybody.

  • Welcome once again to the weekly show podcast.

  • My name is Jon Stewart and we have a week to go about a little bit, a little bit less, a little bit more, I guess, than a week.

  • And I, I gotta say, I just, I feel great.

  • I just, I feel fucking great.

  • I think, how could you not a week to go before one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime.

  • And I have no idea, no idea what's going to happen.

  • And we've entered the phase of the election that I like to call the Fellini era, the surreal fever dream where I just turned on CNN and it was all about if Donald Trump actually does like Hitler.

  • And that's always comforting in the run up to an election is when one of the candidates is because his general John Cal, I'm sure you all understand, his former chief of staff was out.

  • Like, yeah, the guy really, really thought Hitler did a lot of good things.

  • And I was thinking, well, you know, he was a vegetarian, but it's not really what he was known for, I guess is what I'm saying.
