'Attack Philanthropy:' Right-Wing Billionaire Fueled Climate Denial and Conservative Judges, Schools

This clip is from the Sept. 8, 2022 broadcast.

New revelations about the secretive right-wing billionaire Barre Seid, who donated $1.6 billion to a conservative nonprofit run by Leonard Leo, known as Donald Trump's "Supreme Court whisperer," show he has also used his massive fortune to undermine climate science, fight Medicaid expansion and remake the higher education system in a conservative mold. We speak with The Lever's Andrew Perez, who reported on what Seid calls "attack philanthropy," after obtaining emails through an open records request.
