About this episode
Money in politics has gotten a bad rap, especially from the left -- which is odd, because some of the biggest money around in politics is liberal money. The Capital Research Center has traced where the money is in U.S politics, and recently I spoke with their president, Scott Walter. He unpacked the idea of “dark money” and explained who’s paying who, and what kind of impact it actually has. Plus: As we approach Independence Day, national pride is at a new low. What’s up with that? We’ll discuss.We also cover these stories:•The House Ways and Means Committee has filed a lawsuit to get President Trump's tax returns. •The Border Patrol is saying Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez misrepresented the detention facilities at the border.•President Trump is promising planes--and tanks--at this year's 4th of July celebration in Washington, D.C.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.
