8:16 pm
the business of structure in washington dc wanted to make sure that the previous mayor stated how a tree and twenty mm high and then when that didn't happen and the launch i think it was a matter of folks turning up to up the legal guns and trying to examine all to see if there was an eclipse heel in this administration. and what was now at this point about what the mayor may have known about this money coming and twelve. the answer then depends on who you believe right. you can believe mr thompson and what has been reported in terms of the court proceedings. dinner was held where he met with up at the time the council member is great and they came to an understanding that anja and thompson will provide of thousands of dollars to two degrees campaign and of four for benefits to be named later and what if you believe of now we are great. then he
8:17 pm
says that he had no idea that any of this i was going on which in the election on the novel comes though a matter of who you believe it's right in. voters will make that determination in very short. i mean what he thinks he is saying right now that email he had no idea although it seems a little on the unit announced that six hundred and sixty thousand dollars was funneled in any way when you think about that indeed the human mind are new to me the issue is made we need them. i think we need to put it this way. the culture in washington d c politics where you pay to play. not just been with this administration has been with previous administrations so forth and so on. i was just coming to some folks today that when when when when they have up to big business comes to town that they wanted to lobby for men has access to every single customer. if folks in the community want to have impact on something we have to organize hundreds of people and wanted to put the political pressure for
8:18 pm
most elected officials to listen to the community because there's always been the sculpture art and up and then what is happening is that it didn't start with reading. and unless there is some radical reformation the moment with grief. and i went up a little more about that when something bad that u s attorney ronald seen a change in your head that say about this in the aftermath he said. jeff thomson's guilty people back the curtain to expose one spread corruption is playing games the citizens in d c an inside look at the underground off the books schemes and corrected election after election the year after year. i'm so beyond being just a great campaign and jeffrey thompson apparently he has spent eight hundred thousand dollars in support of the seven other candidates on which is incredible to think about silk. this is an ep speak to many this is not just a nation without mincing greatest him speaking to a larger issue at hand though i think if you did the citizens united case the impact that
8:19 pm
that's happening nationally in terms of our money going into our election process in the typical brothers and in the billions of dollars that they poured into the electorate. that has definitely made it much more difficult for the one man one vote democratic process is supposed to operate in this country. to be effective and not one has to wonder how a supreme court could determine that a corporation as a person and that corporations can because i was out the debt with the water corporation's not suppose to be. and that not being in that deck is allowed unfettered access it into our including our political system is home to watch the bbc is a microcosm has a very small dam another example of that you agree with that oh i agree with them for much of me you know it the reality is you if you really want to fall reform on campaign contributions and therefore legally directing a campaign you would do something radical he would do
8:20 pm
something radically would allow for pax to be set up the can onto unlimited spending on one of the guys at all on them i get attacked for what that i'd be willing to say that anybody can give as much they want to go to a camp of the difference is that it is into a common pool and goals to make about that money is split with even when handling money can come into the race. to do that because the argument was that takes away the citizenship of cooperation. i like sharing we don't like sharing my hair how much to think this is really setting back the residents of dc after tackling considering the deal have no much national representation of how difficult is well it's it's it's it's it's a terrible time in a terrible blow of place for this to happen one of many years that we've been facing real pressure from gentrification long long list of people been removed from neighborhood churches have been removed from a bottle of unfortunately because of the play in a play called to there's been no political
8:21 pm
leadership that wanted to stand up and say halt stop that because basically the money was flowing and then they will contend that the money flowing in both legally and illegally and the issue is that we still facing those issues was a real setback on and we look at the landscape of candidates who may be left on in this race it is pitiful there is not a whole lot there in terms of trust and lastly what happened yesterday is at the final nail in the coffin for lingering no no no mommy to his and he didn't use it very clearly today i'm not finished yet. it's a tub of ice for he he he did say that up. and whether that means just within the dc political smear or whether that means when they talk about on thompson contributing to the hillary clinton i think about it this is the desperate nationally of we know we we have yet to see that from ages of time and again. if i can say with advancing great new this or did not know this but i can see that his response just doesn't pass left an all time low. how will find out soon
