44:22Now PlayingQ: “Money and politics is the root of all evil in American politics today, right?”
A: “Your housing prices are unacceptably high. Your rent is unacceptably high. Your health care costs are unacceptably high because of corruption. Corruption is why the Congress and the government has not only not dealt with those problems, but is actually in many cases on the side of those who are creating those problems. It's the money flowing into the system.”
David Sirota, editor-in-chief of The Lever, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss his new book ‘Master Plan: The Hidden Plot to Legalize Corruption in America.’ In Sirota’s book, he uncovers a hidden plan created by wealthy conservatives to make bribery a constitutionally-protected form of speech. The two also dive into the NYC mayoral debate, SCOTUS reform, and AIPAC.
