and so we agree with the citizens united decision at the club for growth. and stepping back for the full debate, i don't have a problem with americans spending money in the political process talking about what is our country should look like. he sides with statistics about how few people actually did that. to me the problem is we need more people who will decide this matters for the future of my children and our country and our community. i want to get involved. if they can contribute money to groups they believe in, or volunteer and get out there and work in the campaign. i think if you have an open system of equal playing field, everybody knows what's going on and everybody has the same rules for how they can participate, that we're going to get a better result in the election house of representatives republican line, virginia beach, virginia, rob, go ahead. >> caller: good morning. i just want to say that i think these primary elections i would like to see a conservative candidates not forget about the christian right wing of the party, not so much focus

the citizens united decision, i agree with you, a terrible decision. it builds on buckley versus vallejo. both need to be overturned. i think buckley is even more important. you used the term, "mel in the nail in the coffin." i think that is why you have seen this group of democrats and , people around the country representing 40 of the , we have to do something about that today, now, we have to get washington, d.c., the beltway people, paying attention to this. 80% of republicans think the system is broken and dysfunctional and needs to be either entirely broken down and th democratsof think that. back to the decision of buckley and united, we have also heard supreme court justices start to deal, this is not working. maybe even short of a new justice who can help us overturn buckley and united, maybe they would revisit it because they recognize now, even with this , itrent court recognizes this is creating almost the death of democracy. i don't want to overstate it, but we are in a crisis here. secondly, a bribe -- that is a strong term, but it is get

the citizenss united decision of the supreme court is the law of the land. paying --all be shouldn't we all be paying off of the same tax schedule corporations and individuals the same? i will wait for my answer. thank you. guest: it is a great question. it brings out the fundamental protest in american history, which is no taxation without representation. that was the original birth of the tea party in boston, of course. that was the protest against the british tea tax. principle, you might say, in a world where so much corporate money is driving political decisions, should produce a response for citizens to say why should i be paying taxes and a system where i am not fairly representated? indeed, some conservatives in the reform movement, a guy named bush's pater, george ethics are, and now professor of law at minnesota, has proposed a system to change the way that campaigns are funded, giving everybody a $200 voucher to fund campaigns. the name of the proposal is no taxation without representation act. his basic argument is that in this system, representa

we have had two major court decisions, mccutchen and citizens united that have changed the election processi think you have a tremendous good luck at the fcc. the sec was founded after watergate to provide regulation -- fcc was founded after watergate to provide regulation for elections. they haven't been able to get much done in terms of regulation lately. i know the chairman was on the daily show lamenting the art dysfunctional. things have changed due to those different parts and they mesh together into creating the situation we have now. host: talk to us about when it comes to online ads, what is the strategy that candidates generally employ? who did a target, what did a target, how do they use it? guest: we don't really know. we know that facebook, twitter, and google all have pages set up right now trying to help campaign to figure out how to best reach people. they certainly are a grassroots effort. in the campaigns we see spending a lot of not surprising. bernie sanders in the third quarter spent 2.5 million dollars on online ads. that doesn't surprise anybody given the demographic

franklin delano roosevelt made that decision, as well. in 1988, the unitedtates repudiated that decision. we not only apologized to japanese-americans, we paid reparations to japanese-americans because that was the wrong decision based on polling. >> let me get renee. i want to know what you think about this. >> my concern is that people are really nervous about this whole process. it's not what you say, it's how you say it, and that's a big thing, and i think -- and i'm going with senator toomey. i think we have to look at the process. 47 democrats went against the president and said we have to wait and look at this whole process and make sure that we have everything in order, everything in place, and i think that's what needs to happen. >> but my fear is that they went against the president out of their own political calculation because of the polls, because those democrats who switched are not in safe seats. >> and it works. >> you know i know. >> yeah, yeah. >> you know i know. >> it works -- the strategy. >> that's right. well, we know -- and we know th

americans massively oppose the citizens united decision. 80% against with 71% strongly opposed. and most tellingly, by a ratio of 9-1, americans now believe our supreme court treats corporations more favorably than individuals. even self-identified conservative republicans by a 4-1 margin now believe the court treats corporations more favorably than individuals. linda greenhaus, who long resisted drawing such a conclusion, has written that she finds it -- and i'll quote her -- "impossible to avoid the conclusion that the republica republican-appointed majority is committed to harnessing the supreme court to an ideological agenda." other noted court watchers like norm ornsteen at the conservative american enterprise institute and jeffrey tubin long ago reached a similar conclusion. so let's look careful at what those five justices did in their 5-4 citizens united decision, and let's start where they started, with the first amendment to the constitution. the first amendment protects honest elections by allowing limitations on the influence of money. the first amendment allows limi

united states congress. that's what the people of vermont voted for. i made a decision in this presidential election i'll run as a democrat.. i'm a democrat. to create a new and democratic party, to involve millions of people, george, who have given up on the political process, working-class people and young people who today, say, you know what, the economy is rigged, nothing i can do about it. campaign finance system is corrupt. big money controls what i'm doing. what i'm trying to do is bring out large number of young people, we're going to transform america. we're going to get rid of the citizens united, supreme court decision, and c create a vibrant democracy so we don't have the the largest and strongest voter turnout. >> what about this trying to gin up opposition to president obama the last time around? >> no, this is media stuff. what i have done sa radio show every single friday, someone asked me years ago, do you think there should be a primary opponent to barack obama? i don't know exactly the words i said, what's wrong with the primary situation? >> you said

with the new prime minister issuing this statement, we are disappointed by the decision, but respect the right of the unitedtes to make the decision. the canadian-u.s. relationship is much bigger than any one project and i look forward to a fresh start with president obama. transcanada added this, quote, today, misplaced smolism was chosen over merit and science. rhetoric won out over reason. president obama's stance has evolved in recent years as environmentalists ramped up their calls to reject the pipeline. >> right now a company called transcanada has applied to build a new pipeline to speed more oil to refineries on the gulf covert. today i'm directing my administration to cut through the red tape, break through the bureaucratic hurdles, to make this project a priority. >> the effects of the pipeline's impact on our planet will be critical in determining whether this project is allowed to go forward. >> understand what this project is, providing the ability of canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else. it doesn't have an impact on u.s. g

united states. i agree with that decision. and i had the opportunity to speak with traudeu and agreed our close friendship on issues including energy and climate change should provide that between our countries going forward and in the coming weeks senior members of my team will be engaging with theirs in order to help deepen that cooperation. now for years the keystone pipeline occupied what i considered an over inflated role in our political discourse. it became a symbol too often used as a campaign by both parties rather than a serious policy matter and all of this obscured the fact that this pipeline would neither be a silver bullet for the economy as was promised by some nor expressed lane to climate disaster proclaimed by others i will comment why we rejected the pipeline. first, the pipeline would not make a meaningful, long-term contribution to our economy. so if congress is serious about wanting to create jobs, this was not the way to do it. they want to do it, what we should be doing is passing a by partisan infrastr

we're going to get rid of the citizens united, supreme court decision, and create a vibrant democracy so that we don't have the lowest voter turnout of almost any major country on earth, but one of the largest and strongest voter turnout. >> what about this trying to gin up opposition to president obama the last time around? what i have done is a radio show every single friday, somebody there should be a primary i don't know exactly the words that i said, what's wrong with the primary situation? reasons -- >> one second, george. >> here's what you said. >> that's categorically false. >> okay. >> i'm sorry -- >> you would be talking to people a bit about having primary opposition. very hard to see barack obama elected. he came to vermont to campaign for me. i worked for him in 2008 and 2012. and listen, i think under the incredible republican obstructionism. president obama and vice and vice president biden have moved this country forward than obama? do i disagree with him on tpp? yes, i do. but barack obama is a friend of mine. i think he's been a very strong president and guided this
