Agreed also term limits once a person has been in politics 8 years that's the end of their political career no other job in politics if the president could only be 8 years all other politicians 8 years the longer they stayed they make clicks they become dirtier and dirtier and become a corrupt organization and funding no one running for politics should be able to receive more than $10,000 for campaigning they need to pay for their own campaigning these millions of dollars being donated are being donated so that whoever is doing the donating has control of that politician. Our government has become too corrupt because of all the rhinos it's time to take our government back they are becoming billionaires being politicians and our government that is sick they are supposed to be serving the people not becoming billionaires off of the United States citizens we need less government involved the federal government should clean up their house starting with NSA FBI down the line they're all corrupt due to rhino leadership

Yes, but the problems I see with that is we have to many liberals who won't up hold our law's! Amy Comey Barrett acted like she was so conservative, and Brett as well, and they allowed men to go into women's restrooms! They are not for the people!
I don't believe in term limits. That just motivates the "termed" person to accelerate their agenda before they're out the door. I would prefer people in office (or judgeships) know that they will be held responsible years from now for whatever they do today. Can't impeach a judge who's no longer on the bench. Also, electing judges is not the answer, either. We've already seen what happens in elections. Same corrupting influences are at work. For a judiciary that lives up to the principles Americans say they espouse, we need independent, qualified, diversified, representative and uncorrupt committees to work in tandem with responsible and uncorrupt elected representatives to choose the best candidates and vet them. The current problem is traced back to corrupt Congress and all the outside influences on them. And who puts Congress in their seats? We do. Who ignores the corrupting influence of powerful corporations, dark money, and interest groups? We do. Who put a corrupt wannabe dictator in the White House who would do anything to fulfill his personal needs and ambitions? Americans did. (With the help of Putin, of course...) Are Americans willing to stop purchasing the items Koch Industries sell? Or quit working for one of the Koch subsidiaries? Or pay attention when independent investigations expose the dark histories of political candidates who tell people what they want to hear? No, I didn't think so. So term limits won't help that.

Where ever this leads, we need to start already with getting private money out of politics. Limit donations to some trivial amount and bring it into the light for full reporting.
A maximum of $20 per donor per candidate throughout an ENTIRE Election Season for ALL Donors, or else face death hanging from a strong black-money scaffold. Koch brother(s) (one is dead now) and all other dark money donors of the past have a limit of $1.00 per campaign season due to their past obscenely illegally enormous sized donations!
It's definitely on both sides especially since the Dems became advocates for neo-liberal capitalism but, in that regard, I think Dems are more concerned about their own capital gain and Republicans are in it also for the power - wanting to protect the inequitable staus quo. They want to be the top 2%.
Our highest Court has too many leftwing radicals deciding on HUGE issues. The thing is: They should have absolutely NO political preference WHATSOEVER!, let alone, insert them into their judgement. What is this guy's motive behind his pointing finger? Name ALL of the the recipients on the Supreme Court. They all accept dark money. It would be nieve to believe otherwise.

Trena - And is the "money" actually a lust for power ? Money by itself isn't worth much. Green papers with pictures of dead people. Or a bar of gold-colored metal.

Just political BS. Both sides do it. Find the graph of the wealth increase for the 1%. Stagnant and then sky rocketing when pandemic hit. Democrats have Pharma, Gates, Hollywood, media networks, Amazon, social media, unions, Soros. They both use the same donor, PAC, think tank system. Point fingers at the others for political illusions while never creating a law to change it. Other than Koch, are there big names for republicans? (Honest question) I find these speeches hypocritical and political theatre. They both advertise. One party controls the media and complains about reporting from republicans that's springing up independently. So why don't we pass laws that outlaw family involvement in PACS and think tanks, or family receiving contracts for the duration of the politicians term. Have congressmen required to report taxes just like they demand from the president. Report investments, even by family members, for the length of service. Change the law for pharma paying the FDA/NIH. Having 65% of FDA income in the new drugs dept coming from pharma is asking for corruption. Those being regulated shouldn't pay the regulators. The word bribery comes to mind. And somehow get news reporting both sides again. Everyone could learn from each other. Hear the other side. We are just devolving. But people are waking up. They aren't interested in pretty speeches or personalities. They're looking for results. This is just another pretty speech guy who won't do anything to end the dark money coming into his own pocket. There's a lot of uniparty going on
Senator Whitehouse just gave us the best presentation I've seen and I am relieved he has stated he will continue to investigate. We've got to support him and those who are seeking the truth, and keep them in to finish investigating. Bring the swampmonsters to justice once and for all.
His passion to follow the money, and speak with such clarity..these are the ppl who liars and thieves are afraid of. The judicial system is not the only conglomerate who works in the dark. Stay tuned!

If you are referring to lobbying, all names and dollar amounts are on public record. That being said, more likely than not Facebook, or its board members, Likely donate to dark money networks. I say likely because we don’t know, it’s anonymous.
"Dark Money" is money that is donated to a campaign but is secret. It was illegal until the Extreme Court decided that its party, the Republican Party, could not win without taking in secret monies. The reason for this is that GOP policies are unpopular and companies who publicly donate too much to them get boycotted and this affects their bottom line. So they wanted to donate secret bags of money instead of public ones and cracked their whips at Their Court which promptly found a case to hear which they could use as a vehicle to pretend that "secrets" are the same thing as "free speech".
@@error5202 "all names and dollar amounts are on public record" That was true until about 20 years ago when Chief Justice William Rhenquist declared that secret money is free speech and therefore corporations can now bribe parties in unlimited amounts of secret monies. In practice, that means millions of dollars can be given to a candidate by the same corporation(s) directly and on a you-scratch-my-back basis.
I stress all share this with everyone you can, we need to fix this! The courts must expand to make right Mitch McConnell’s rapid in justice of our Supreme Court!!! Scary scary scary!!!! If we don’t fix we are in deep do do

@@chrisbraid2907 Some people have conditions which make it hard for them to wear masks or communicate as easily with masks, most are fine even if we may not like them. I worry about those people, like frontline health care workers who have to wear them fo hours. But, most of us only need to wear them in enclosed public spaces. I have two cloth masks which I wash regularly. People in Asia have worn masks for years, people during the Spanish Infleunza epidemic in 1918 were asked to wear masks. They have been shown to help stop transmission. A healthy lifestyle, including sunshine and exercise is a great way to live your life and help to have a healthier immune system (and you can still be outside exercising in the sunshine even with a mask) but is not a global answer to the numbers of people dying from Covid-19.

@Noeleen Barry Although I understand your point, America’s justice system is NOT the worst in the world. Go experience the Law as applied in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Mexico, and Egypt in order to make a comparison. Both Democrats and Republicans have politicized and monetized the Justice system in America. However, the fact that we can discuss this corruption is a good thing. Also, and this point is very important, good people, who are judges, can still be seated, and are seated, even in a justice system that is becoming more political and corrupted by too much money. This becomes more rare because of corruption, but does still occur.

I would prefer people in office (or judgeships) know that they will be held responsible years from now for whatever they do today. Can't impeach a judge who's no longer on the bench.
Also, electing judges is not the answer, either. We've already seen what happens in elections. Same corrupting influences are at work.
For a judiciary that lives up to the principles Americans say they espouse, we need independent, qualified, diversified, representative and uncorrupt committees to work in tandem with responsible and uncorrupt elected representatives to choose the best candidates and vet them. The current problem is traced back to corrupt Congress and all the outside influences on them. And who puts Congress in their seats? We do. Who ignores the corrupting influence of powerful corporations, dark money, and interest groups? We do. Who put a corrupt wannabe dictator in the White House who would do anything to fulfill his personal needs and ambitions? Americans did. (With the help of Putin, of course...)
Are Americans willing to stop purchasing the items Koch Industries sell? Or quit working for one of the Koch subsidiaries? Or pay attention when independent investigations expose the dark histories of political candidates who tell people what they want to hear? No, I didn't think so.
So term limits won't help that.

Where ever this leads, we need to start already with getting private money out of politics. Limit donations to some trivial amount and bring it into the light for full reporting.
$5000 cap on PAC donations per person or corporation. That's how our neighbors up north do it. That would be a good start.
A maximum of $20 per donor per candidate throughout an ENTIRE Election Season for ALL Donors, or else face death hanging from a strong black-money scaffold. Koch brother(s) (one is dead now) and all other dark money donors of the past have a limit of $1.00 per campaign season due to their past obscenely illegally enormous sized donations!
And end Citizens United!
Super PACs should be illegal

Best explanation of dark money I’ve ever heard or seen. Thank you senator. Now do the same thing on the democratic side.
It's definitely on both sides especially since the Dems became advocates for neo-liberal capitalism but, in that regard, I think Dems are more concerned about their own capital gain and Republicans are in it also for the power - wanting to protect the inequitable staus quo. They want to be the top 2%.
If they had democrats he wouldve exposed that to.

Just political BS. Both sides do it. Find the graph of the wealth increase for the 1%. Stagnant and then sky rocketing when pandemic hit. Democrats have Pharma, Gates, Hollywood, media networks, Amazon, social media, unions, Soros. They both use the same donor, PAC, think tank system. Point fingers at the others for political illusions while never creating a law to change it. Other than Koch, are there big names for republicans? (Honest question) I find these speeches hypocritical and political theatre. They both advertise. One party controls the media and complains about reporting from republicans that's springing up independently. So why don't we pass laws that outlaw family involvement in PACS and think tanks, or family receiving contracts for the duration of the politicians term. Have congressmen required to report taxes just like they demand from the president. Report investments, even by family members, for the length of service. Change the law for pharma paying the FDA/NIH. Having 65% of FDA income in the new drugs dept coming from pharma is asking for corruption. Those being regulated shouldn't pay the regulators. The word bribery comes to mind. And somehow get news reporting both sides again. Everyone could learn from each other. Hear the other side. We are just devolving. But people are waking up. They aren't interested in pretty speeches or personalities. They're looking for results. This is just another pretty speech guy who won't do anything to end the dark money coming into his own pocket.

What makes this money dark compared to for example money from Facebook etc.
Who gets to be the judge of which money is dark or not
If you are referring to lobbying, all names and dollar amounts are on public record. That being said, more likely than not Facebook, or its board members, Likely donate to dark money networks. I say likely because we don’t know, it’s anonymous.
"Dark Money" is money that is donated to a campaign but is secret. It was illegal until the Extreme Court decided that its party, the Republican Party, could not win without taking in secret monies. The reason for this is that GOP policies are unpopular and companies who publicly donate too much to them get boycotted and this affects their bottom line. So they wanted to donate secret bags of money instead of public ones and cracked their whips at Their Court which promptly found a case to hear which they could use as a vehicle to pretend that "secrets" are the same thing as "free speech".
@@error5202 "all names and dollar amounts are on public record"
That was true until about 20 years ago when Chief Justice William Rhenquist declared that secret money is free speech and therefore corporations can now bribe parties in unlimited amounts of secret monies. In practice, that means millions of dollars can be given to a candidate by the same corporation(s) directly and on a you-scratch-my-back basis.
Great point

I have two cloth masks which I wash regularly. People in Asia have worn masks for years, people during the Spanish Infleunza epidemic in 1918 were asked to wear masks. They have been shown to help stop transmission. A healthy lifestyle, including sunshine and exercise is a great way to live your life and help to have a healthier immune system (and you can still be outside exercising in the sunshine even with a mask) but is not a global answer to the numbers of people dying from Covid-19. (Not sure who Tony is or if he has investment in mask companies...)
The mask debacle does occupy our minds.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!!
Supreme Court Judge Ruth before passing away...that her replacement after the election...she knew...
She did...
she should have retired YEARS ago. If she had done so, we would not have the mess we have now. I blame her for waiting too long. She was sick, but vanity and pride kept her on the bench.
Thank God for Senator Sheldon Whitehouse! Now I hope there's something someone will do to remedy this situation. I don't see any other alternatives except to impeach Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, and/or expand the court.
But will anything change? Will Cituzens United be overturned?
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. Very well done. Very scary. I agree, supreme court members should not have lifetime status. Dark anonymous donations should not be allowed. watch your back.
I like this guy. Transparency!!!! Term Limits!!! One page Bills with actual title of what is in the bill.
Mr. Whitehouse…I love to hear you speaking! Your knowledge and willingness to share it with the people, is remarkable and much appreciated! I have never heard any of this before…we need more access to this kind of information! Have you ever considered running for President? We desperately need an honest voice like yours and see the great improvement of honest government!
Why did Lauren Boebert lead a late-night Capitol tour three weeks before Jan. 6?

Good question
False information according to politifact. Picture floating around on Facebook was dated December 2019. Colorado State Capital.
research event 201, bookkeeper also
DIG ON SHELDON!!!!
Thank you for help the Normal American citizen to prevent greedy people from destroying this country.
@Noeleen Barry Although I understand your point, America’s justice system is NOT the worst in the world. Go experience the Law as applied in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Mexico, and Egypt in order to make a comparison. Both Democrats and Republicans have politicized and monetized the Justice system in America. However, the fact that we can discuss this corruption is a good thing. Also, and this point is very important, good people, who are judges, can still be seated, and are seated, even in a justice system that is becoming more political and corrupted by too much money. This becomes more rare because of corruption, but does still occur.
And nothing is still going to happen..they will keep laughing like trump is.
And just where did Cavanaugh's debts go off to?
They don't see Right and Wrong, They just see opportunities!
And dollars!!!
When will these people get back to trying to run the country
I thought Sheldon was pretty clear on that being his plan.
With very few exceptions, they're all just there for the money, honey.
When we take it back by force and take down everyone in congress and the senate
You should ask Koch Bros who runs the show...😁
What we do no know, is [The Coke Brothers will stop at nothing, illegally.]
Koch brothers, and 1 has already passed away.
Neither will Soros.
Those Koch brothers are devils in disguise as philanthropists !!!
@@aurora571000 And the other one is dancing around.
David is dead one down one to go
Maybe it's time to revisit this excellent work done by Sen. Sheldon!!! Where is the Department of Justice on this?
I've come to learn most of these people have sold their souls long time ago
Oh yea esoecially since trump got voted in..cause they heard trumps corruption and what he was going to do..he got rid off the good people and put in his tsunami of swamp people. It's clear ad watet... look at the way trump would talk attracting all the bad guys.
The Hill, you actually did real reporting here! I wish you did more of this type of exposure!
Thank you for the specifics.
I love this guy. So detailed and full of integrity. A welcome gift to the US political agenda.
A typical socialist, communist, that's why his name WhiteHouse.
WE KNEW BUT HOW YOU SIR HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THANK YOU
There will be justice! It'll only takes time and patience. Justice Matters.
you know and I know, there will never be true justice in the land. Satanic forces are at work here. The crooks worship power and money. Ironic isn't it, since they feign being God-fearing paragons of love and patriotism and virtue. None so blind as those who will not see.
Don't be so naïve
