This week it's one of Pete Buttigieg's wine cave billionaires and top ACRONYM donor Seth Klarman. We couldn't find anything wrong with him so we just spent the whole episode saying nice things. Overall? Great guy.

By popular demand we've unlocked our recent episode running down what just occurred in the Iowa Caucuses. After we recorded this episode DNC chair Tom Perez immediately followed the news that Bernie Sanders was victorious in Iowa by announcing that there would be a recount. As we've always said this is all just a big misunderstanding and there is no bias at work here.

New Hampshire votes February 11th. You know what to do:

This week we take a look at Columbia University with our spy on the inside Stephanie. We discuss how the business school operates in teaching the propaganda of capitalism to students all over the world for a profit. From biased views of how business can and will save the world to never really solving the issues of murder, sex abuse as well as racism rampant on their campus. Tune in and tune out you got the Grubstakers.

We channel our inner Chris Hardwicks and it's grotesque.

This week we take a extra deep dive into the Canadian billionaire power couple Gerry Schwartz and Heather Reisman. With his predatory private equity acumen and her tenacity to run other bookstores and plant shops out of business they have accumulated a vast net worth which they’re using to host fundraisers for Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. Why have so many billionaires lined up behind his dark horse candidacy and what do they hope to gain? And did these two scions of Canadian business actually do anything to “earn” their money besides asset stripping, corporate bust outs, age discrimination, and fraud? Find out here!

*EPISODE CORRECTION*: Gerry Schwartz and Heather Reisman *have not* donated money directly to Pete Buttegieg. Canadian citizens are not allowed to donate to US candidates for federal office. They did however use their Nantucket mansion to host a fundraiser for him so providing that material benefit is to us functionally equivalent to being donors. Apologies for not clarifying this distinction though.

This week we profile a billionaire north of the border Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll! Join as we discussed how he cheapened American brands Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors with the help of his business partner Silas Chau. Together they made billions in investing in name brand clothes, cheapening the products, and selling their shares at a profit before people realized what they had done. This money was then used to buy a yacht named Faith, which resulted in a British deckhand being drowned, a failed music career for his daughter Chloe stroll and a career F1 racing for his son who doesn’t seem to really know where he is most of the time. All that and more coming up on Grubstakers!
