>> ken vogel writes for politico in his day job, chief investigative reporter. on the site he has published a book written a book i should say, big money. that's quite a sum total. let's start with the subtitle. >> my goal here was to get behind the scenes of these multi-multimillionaires and billionaires are playing an outside wall in american politics, a little of some of these court decision that allowed them to spend a ton of money in politics shape the elections and sometimes secretly. they stem from a efforts to get behind the scene into these private rooms or they're making decisions about which candidates to back the suspicious vehicle was my own rental car which was

reported as suspicious when i got into the coke brother seminar in april 2013, their security kick me out, reported my car as suspicious to the riverside county sheriff out in california who ended up tracking down and telling me i was not wanted on this property. around the cup was hired to do security for the democratic governors association around the democratic national convention in charlotte. i snuck into a big fundraiser there. to kick me out, told me this was a violation of the privacy of the democratic governors who just want to mingle behind closed doors with very wealthy donors later found out in fact he was arrested and kicked off the local police force during a prostitution ring out of his squad car no less. >> ken vogel come we've heard about the proposed over the years with politics. report about tom stater, tom starr on the democratic side. are there other players that we don't know about? >> absolutely. we try to get a look at some of
