important when people talk about getting rid of money this is one of the funniest things ever citizens united as our colleague said here you know what happened i think most of us would say let's sign let's agree to get rid of the as you said twice the feckless citizens united but let's also remove the incredible stranglehold that big kak and facebook and google and twitter have on everything and by the way one more thing which is a poured whether you want to realize this or not and i don't know whether this actually meant that so many votes were stolen that the president really should have won but the amount of fraud that we saw how much of it in terms of the big picture is up for debate but it was breathtaking and what american citizens are going to do tomorrow is to say i have a voice i think my vote was stolen right or wrong and i'm going to speak up but if you go and just look at what was done and blatantly over the absolute abject theft now again whether that invalidates the entire election apparently not but it was one for the ages i mean absolutely this is chicago politics on steroids

citizen united allows dark money. let's be clear about the law. of all, money alone, in and of itself, does not guarantee victory. check out jamie harrison in south carolina. he had a boat load of money. he lost. issues win elections. what i'm concerned with is trying to restrain, restrict corporation, individuals from contributing. i'm all for contributions of money into campaigns because money, in and of itself, does not win elections. but when you fight against dark money, like the president did in the swamp, i'm for a guy like president trump who is issue oriented. democrats are talking double talk. >> harris: that's interesting. katie, what about the fact that it's untraceable? are there problems with that? are there challenges with that? >> yeah. i think it's traceable in the sense that you know which groups are donating to which pact but the amount of money is difficult to kind of track down. the problem that i have with this is not about money being placed in a superpact. my issue is democrats have been railing against citizens united. the

. >> i'm glad to see harold embrace citizens united. this is the whole point.e president's twitter account is suppressing free speech but citizens united found that individuals including corporations have a right to free speech. and they could exercise their right to free speech by denying political donations if they want to. that's what conservatives believe. >> bret: we will follow this. it's not going to end here and obviously we have the inauguration next week. thank you very much. when we come back, a pair of fair warnings. yes, you are. i'm gonna get this place all clean. i'll give you a hand. and i'm gonna put lisa on crutches! wait, what? said she's gonna need crutches. she fell pretty hard. you might want to clean that up, girl. excuse us. when owning a small business gets real, progressive helps protect what you built with customizable coverage. -and i'm gonna -- -eh, eh, eh. -donny, no. -oh. state of the art technology makes it brilliant. the visionary lexus nx, lease the 2021 nx 300 for $359 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus de

i recalled our bipartisanship here in the senate before citizens united. and i saw the depth of bipartisan after. when the fossil fuel industry upgraded its weaponry from political muskets to tactical nukes and set about subjugating the republican party. i came to like and admire bob english, a conservative, the fossil fuel industry could not subjugate, instead they made an example of him for his climate heresy and crushed him politically. i came with groups of senators to the floor to identify and call out this corrupt and corrupting fossil fuel web of denial. i came to know and admire the tough band of investigators, writers and academic researchers who examine and document this corrupt apparatus. i saw how this apparatus insinuated itself into the u.s. chamber of commerce. and the national association of manufacturers. and turned those two business groups into america's two worst climate obstructers. thank you, influence maps, for that research. i learned the way the industry hid the money trails leading to its front groups through shell corporations, t
