about the people who run these oil companies, particularly people like lee raymond, people like david kochnd charles koch and the people who run these big think tanks on capitol hill, the american enterprise institute, the competitive enterprise institute, the cato institute, marshal institute, clever people who are deliberately lying to the american public, deliberately deceiving people in order to make sure that the industry that the high level people in an industry continue to collect their income. so, it's not, you know, it's not the lower tiers of the industry that i would say are bad people. i don't think that at all. i think they are just regular people who are like the rest of us trying to make our way in the world and survive, but i think that the people who are kin i e i'ving to lie to the american people iving to lie to the american people, with this massive propaganda campaign, those are sociopaths. >> you wrote recently corporations that deliberately, purposely and system at including sponsor climate lies should be given the death penalty. explain what you mean. this? >> yeah.

charles and david koch have paid for 50,000 television ads, nearly one out of every five adds aired so far this election. crossroads g.p.s. is a 501c4 co-founded by karl rove. his group aired about half as many ads. patriot majority u.s.a. is another, created by democratic strategist craig veroga, a close ally of harry reid. accounting for 13,000 tv ads across four battle ground states. >> there's a handful of u.s. senate races that will effect ily determine whether republicans take control of the senate or whether democrats retain it. they go across the united states. if you go to georgia, they have a big race. the biggest in kentucky and north carolina. that is why dark money is a key factor in the races, because we are talking about millions of dollars, throughout the races. >>> under federal law political spending on campaigning or lobbying can't be the activity of a 501 c the the i.r.s. has done little to enforce that. finance advocates say unless tougher regulations are in part. it will only get darker. >> let's go to someone whose job it was to monitor federal elections. michael

senatorial races, and the organization americans for prosperity, backed by the oligarchs charles and david koch, who added at least five republican senators to their portfolios. and why not? the conservative majority on the supreme court wrote the prescription: exercise all the free speech you can buy. that's prompted the watchdog journalist harvey wasserman to write this week: "the gop/corporate coup d'etat is nearly complete." but not quite. look at what happened in richmond, california. richmond is a city of more than a hundred thousand in the bay area. chevron, one of the biggest and most powerful companies in the fortune 500, has a refinery there, with big pollution problems. after that refinery erupted in fire two years ago, the city, led by mayor gayle mclaughlin, sued chevron for what it alleges is a long history of negligence. what's more, the city is making chevron pay an additional two hundred million dollars in taxes and other payments to make richmond, once a danger zone of poverty and crime, a better place to live. this election year, chevron came out with guns blazing, spending m

lot of republican fund-raisers what they said is by going out there and demonizing charles and david kochey. they didn't want to find themselves the subject of those same brutal attacks. >> it didn't work. they weren't scared. the rich donors gave more than before. i just -- you know why not have a populist message. if they allowed reid to continue to run the senate -- >> you're saying they should have done the elizabeth warren strategy? >> yes. >> of a strong populist message that -- >> of course. >> president obama makes his pick for the next u.s. attorney general. >> was it loretta lynn? >> loretta lynch. >> i love loretta lynn. i was hoping for tammy wynette. i didn't even know she went to law school. i got to say, it came across my phone. she and patsy cline. >> it's a confirmation. >> just bring your guitar. i'll vote for you. >> an exclusive interview with a chairman of the judiciary committee. >> plus green porno actress isabella rossellini is starring in a new project and it's safe to say you've never seen anything like it. >> mike has. >> how the mating rituals of animals inspir

the catholic issues say charles and david coke are footing the bill for -- david koch are footing the bill for ads in kentucky, to influence how voters cast their ballot. >> it's not just the political right that is flooding the campaign with super spending, it's the last. liberals and conservatives are spending tens of millions to influence the elections outcomes. >> according to data filed with the u.s. federal election, a liberal group calling itself patriot majority is doing its bet to sway the vote. >> cutting social security may be mitch mcconnell's plan. >> untraceable spending is eight times greater than four years ago. >> a small number of wealthy elites is having an incredible deal on the process. >> i think the corporations are taking over. more of a state of kentucky. we can use the money somewhere else. >> that was kimberley reporting. >> let's go to joie chen. watching closely the races for senate and governor in the state of kansas where joie chen spent some time. >> we did that. we were in kansas, and watching the battle for kansas on two fronts, on the governor's race

strategy that senator reid took when he went to the house floor on a daily basis attacking charles and david kochkoch industries. they don't care about any of that stuff. they want to see us getting things done and that's why my hope is that mitch mcconnell and john boehner will come out with a unified agenda so we can move things forward quickly. >> ron, you're right that there is this discontent with leaders on both sides and you did see that in the voting. you also saw in the voting overwhelming support for progressive ballot measures on things like increasing minimum wage or defeating the person hood amendments to the substance of it is very much toward progress. the leaders in both our parties, i think, have a lot of self-reflection to do and a lot of sleeves to roll up. >> all right, so the both of you -- i think we're hearing that we all feel that compromise needs to be made. now, the question is if we can actually make that happen. tracy sefl, ron bonjean. thank you for joining us. >>> republicans took senate, mitch mcconnell will be the next senate majority leader but can he keep the ran

the group received more than 92% of its revenues from two organizations connected to charles and david koch american future fund any grabs in two years but without any diclosure requirement who knows. we don't know where the funding for the ad came from. four and a half years after citizens united outside money is playing a biggest role than ever in this election, on track to be the most expensive election in history, and almost half the outside spending in 11 top senate races, 207 out of $328 million, took place in october alone. and conveniently, the last federal reporting period for election spending ended october 15th. so any contributions made after that date don't have to be disclosed until the election is over, all of which means a small group of big donors could decide tomorrow's outcome and we don't know who they are. i want to talk for a second about how this works. i still am a little unclear. i set up a 501(c)(4) called america's future fund, right, or americans for americans being americanish. and -- you like that name? >> i do. it's good. catchy. somebody is going to pick it u

so in the aftermath there is a huge crackup charles head david coke -- koch in the midst of radical it is sinkers to have your sci-fi keek santer and our guest and they say see you later. they tried the third way attempt to break the control of the democratic and republican parties over national politics. they come to the realization that the only pragmatic approach is to work within the two-party structure and this is within the phase of their political structure in and around this time charros relies on a man who has become his longtime political advisor and right-hand man. a young economist at that point it had met charles the few years earlier when he pitched him on the creation of a free economics broker wreckers -- program at rutgers university. but today's fabricated center had a reputation to get things done not unlike the libertarian activist that charles had encountered that had grained notions but not much follow-through. in the early '80s charles asks to review the ideological and investment with the idea to recalibrate his strategy which basically the whole essence is to c

what i am concerned about is not that it is tom sire or michael bloomberg or david koch. i am worried that candidates have less and less of a say in what is happening in their races. when you look across the board, it is not uncommon for a senate candidate to have 20% of the voice on television. everything else -- by the way, not just what is on the other side but also on their side. 70% of the advertising is something that is completely out of your control on both sides. i am not sure that is the way that we want to run campaigns. ultimately, long-term, it is not the way you want to govern. >> i agree. [laughter] and the gators. >> you have agreed to have lunch together. >> after, yes. >> every cycle, two ed's get together and have lunch. we are going to do that on roll call. [laughter] >> how did your researchers miss the john walsh plagiarism incident? in october, you said john walsh was the right candidate with the right time in the right time in place to win for 2014. >> probably in the same way that republicans missed the plagiarism charges. you will have situations

david: there are companies, private companies, like for example, the koch brothers who get a lost griefey contribute money to. and then there are public corporations and, if it's a private company, your own money do whatever you want, get on social issues. some people say if it's a corporation only if issue affects company's ottom line. should the company get involved. have i got that right? >> i think it's a little more expansive than that. companies should take positions, what we found companies should take positions relates to their business. it still could be broader. for example, mcdonald's, amidst the national debate on minimum wage said you know what, we're going to pay our employees a little bit more. david: i'm talking about things like gay rights and abortion. >> sure. david: unless it is something that affects directly the bottom line of a public corporation, are people a little wary of it getting involved? >> i think so. let's talk about gay marriage because that is a great example. we found a couple of different examples. chik-fil-a got in a lot of hot bought for ceo talkin

bob, the koch brothers create jobs and have the same freedoms of speech and religion as stewart. liberals are supposed to be tolerant. david wrong with this guy. money is money no matter what your politics are. what is wrong with chris christie telling a heckler to shut up. >> so listen, you want to have a conversation later i'm happy to it, buddy, but until that time sit down and shut up. neil: said there is really nothing wrong with it, except christie does it all the time so kind of loses the impact. bob agrees. i love when you show those ronald reagan jfk temper clips. they were remarkable because they were out of character. they were both breaking from their normal cool so it registered this christie lunatic does the tony soprano thing 24/7. it gets old and on my news. marion in new jersey we love christie for speaking of his mind but i am getting tired of his antics. you guys are a bunch sissies. tell lizzie macdonald being such a wimp. he gets tired of you all trying to twist words for headline. i don't know what you're say about lizzie, but none much us here are listing his words. i played those words, word for wor
