the same for corporate pacs and union and business pacs. they disclose where their money is going. 501(c) 4 organizations are what we call dark money groups. 501(c) 4 organizations are social welfare groups. they are focused on less politics, more policy or something in the debate of the country. we don't know who their donors are. they don't have to disclose that. yes they are often running ads. we are seeing ads from groups that are trying to influence the debate over judge kavanaugh. we are seeing organization -- organizations spending money on ads related to that. host: if your questions about super pacs and outside money in the 2018 election, now is the time to call. kate ackley covers lobbying and finance issues.

every other super pacs is a republican super pacs and then a democratic super pacs. at this point in the cycle it's still fairly equitable. is that what you're finding in the charge? postcards by the recipients party you can see the different pieces of the pie about 16% of the spending about $85 million against republicans, $39 million, four of them specifically, $43 million. the cycle wasn't done yet. >> host: coincidence talking about the dark money when just last month on the local pbs station the heavy documentary about the effect it's having a speed to it's just a coincidence that people not being mechanical for people who do want to take a stand for issues in their community. >> host: that's what they've been doing now for a long time. >> guest: if it's money that isn't disclosed you rely on other news reports and so there isn't a sort of disclosure you have to rely on people for what's happening. i didn't see it last night i watchebut iwatched it early thie did a podcast he had the filmmaker on to discuss that but it affected something that voters want to know

money, saying they will not take pac money into their own coffers and disavowing super pac's coming in on their behalf. do you think your involvement in the race could be viewed as a detriment to a candidate running from big-money? to take that a step further, in 2020, if there's a democratic nominee who disavows super pac's , will you stand down? mr. cecil: there is certainly a democrat that will not take corporate pac money and i respect that and i have advised a lot of democrats to take that position. i do not believe in unilateral disarmament. i do not believe we should allow the republican party and right-wing conservatives to spend hundreds of millions of dollars tearing down democrats and progressives and sibley sit there on our hands and watch it happen. from our perspective, if a candidate chooses not to have a super pac engaged in the race, we would not be engaged in the race and that is how we would approach 2020 as well. >> you mentioned the races in which you are involved in this cycle. you were last on this show back in may and you at the time said the democratic chanc

it may not be corporate pacs but it comes from pacs. it is a bit hypocritical when you say i'm not going to take corporate pac money but i will take special interest pac money. i will take money from business pacs that i believe in and i think are doing great things not only for this country but also for here. again, you talk about campaign finance reform. a lot of people are talking about this. if it was up to me, i would say you are only allowed to raise money within your district because if you look at it and you look at the money and you follow the money, you will see there's a lot of money coming from outside this district to make -- >> we're almost out of time. do you want to touch on this? difference between corporate pac and -- >> there absolutely is. the pacs i take money from are value-based pacs, either people who care about the environment, people who care about reproductive choice, people who care about education, people who care about working people, like labor unions. my opponent has taken money from insurance companies,

the super pac helps us do that. it's another tool, another means to an end, and for us the end is good policies and the elections are part of that, but it helped us give a full, provide a full array of capabilities we need. on the federal spending, i think there has been $10 million disclosed so far. there is a lot of ways an , a welfaren like afp organization, or super pac, that don't necessarily trigger fec disclosure. pennsylvania in 2016, you ran bus caravans, and you are not saying vote for her or vote against her, and doesn't run into the independent expenditure type of disclosure. are you doing the same efforts in 2018? vote is out the important. i was in richmond virginia, the seventh congressional district, a few days ago. it was get out the vote efforts there. it's a broad array of activities. the americans for prosperity action committee, the super pac, that lets us be a little more direct, gives more leeway to deliver a message, but the c4, americans for prosperity, it does let us do a lot of activities,

that's one reason we look at that super pac spending. it gives you a sense for the bulk of the advertising a lot of these districts. ford: john, thank you joining us from chicago. that's our very own john mccormack. here's abigail doolittle to tell us all about the selloff going on. abigail: that's right, take a look at the major action on the s&p 500, the dow, the nasdaq, now sharply lower. maybe it's worst day since the s&p 500, on pace for their worst days since april. the first time we have seen this since november of 2016. in fact the worst five days since march. take a look at the vix, the quote unquote fear index. lots of volatility and uncertainty, the volume more than 20% above the 20 day moving average, all a way of saying that sellers are in charge of controlling the situation of uncertainty around the trade war between the u.s. and china. but we see that the nasdaq is underperforming. let's take a look at the five-day chart. with the exception of yesterday we had four of the last five days down. the worst five days since marc

im: that is being very naive i have a super pac is run -- on how the super pac is run. you're not supposed to have any correspondence or coordination or correlation with anything. the only thing i said was, anyone in who wants to come forward and tell their story should begin and the opportunity to tell their side of the story. simple as that. mr. cisneros: it's more an lack toof miss kim's speak up when things happen. she didn't speak up against donald trump when he was pulling kids away from the border. you denied in a bloomberg article, you said we don't really know what's going on down there. ms. kim: because you were not down there, i went to the border myself. i went to san diego, got on the terminal, and i got out in tijuana to actually see what is actually happening on the border. i have done that. moderator: since we are on immigration -- ms. kim: we disagree on this, but i said it very clearly. i am against family separation. i am an immigrant, i am a mother. i see these things, it breaks my heart, and that's what i said. moderator: let's expand the immigratio
