Author: The Lever

A secret plot. A public theft. A democracy corrupted. Discover the truth on Master Plan, the winner of the 2025 National Press Club Award for audio journalism. Hosted by David Sirota, former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders and Oscar-nominated co-writer of Dont Look Up, Master Plan uncovers a deliberate scheme to legalize corruption in the U.S., enabling the wealthy to buy policies that serve them at the publics expense. How did our democracy become a kleptocracy? The Lever has unearthed never-before-reported documents revealing this 50-year plot as a coordinated effort by wealthy individuals and political ideologues. Across 11 episodes, the series traces this historic thread from the Watergate scandal in the 70s to the Citizens United decision, current Supreme Court outrages, and the 2024 election. Its a story of infamous figures like President Richard Nixon, Senator Mitch McConnell, and Fox News founder Roger Ailesplus operatives and oligarchs youve never heard of. www.masterplanpodcast.com
