Summary

Lewis watched the presidential debates and, whooo boy! Does he have some thoughts about it. Not only did he get particularly enraged about the two minute format, but just what was said on stage flat out seemed to be detached from reality. But the action didn’t stop there as there was plenty of post-game analysis by pundits that was just as zany. After the debates, Lewis battled the political spam messaging but it might not be one he can win. But don’t worry if you want an escape from all the politics as there’s plenty more crazy happening around the country. This episode features a clip from the Master Plan podcast that includes an excerpt of the Powell Memo read by Lewis himself. The podcast is a new investigative series hosted by award-winning journalist and former Bernie Sanders speechwriter David Sirota (who is also the Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the Adam McKay film Don’t Look Up) has been working to unearth never-before-reported documents showing how a group of tycoons legalized corruption for the wealthy. It's an epic journey from the 1970s to the present, hearing the untold stories of infamous folks you already thought you knew — like President Richard Nixon and Fox News boss Roger Ailes. And you’ll meet operatives and oligarchs you’ve probably never heard of, because they’ve wielded their power in the shadows. If you somehow think government corruption doesn’t affect your daily life, think again: from high medical bills to lower wages today, it’s all part of the "Master Plan."
