The Journal podcast episode discusses Leonard Leo's efforts to influence American culture through strategic investments in entertainment, particularly in creating content that aligns with conservative values. It highlights his background in shaping the judiciary through the Federalist Society and advising Presidents, his shift towards cultural influence after amassing a $1.6 billion donation, and his involvement with groups like Teneo to fund conservative-leaning movies and TV shows, such as the series "House of David." The episode explores Leo's ambition to create a lasting conservative presence in Hollywood and mainstream media, offering an alternative to what he views as a left-leaning dominance in these spaces.
