#496: The Truth About Money and Politics
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 \u201cdark money\u201d and explained who\u2019s paying who, and what kind of impact it actually has. Plus: As we approach Independence Day, national pride is at a new low. What\u2019s up with that? We\u2019ll discuss.We also cover these stories:\u2022The House Ways and Means Committee has filed a lawsuit to get President Trump's tax returns. \u2022The Border Patrol is saying Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez misrepresented the detention facilities at the border.\u2022President 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.
