In this all new episode of Redacted Tonight VIP, Lee Camp discusses money in politics with Professor Paul Jorgensen, who recently published “50 Shades of Green” with a team at the Roosevelt Institute. This study measured the precise impact of sums of money on specific political issues, using the test cases of the Dodd Frank Bill and Net Neutrality Bills. Lawmakers who received donations from Big Banks and Big Telecom companies later voted in favor of policies that benefitted the companies, despite their initial vote. They discuss the challenges that this study faced, such as dearth of investigations like these in academia, the money laundering schemes of PAC’s, the function of the political parties, hidden sources of money, and the effects of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. How much does the elite control our government, and can the United States really be called a “representative democracy.” It may sound grim, but Professor Jorgensen concludes with solutions to this seemingly intractable political problem. In the second half, Lee Camp discusses the recent Special Election in Georgia and the suspicious findings in the aftermath of the vote. Finally, Lee covers Trump’s pull out of the Paris Climate Deal, and how the Paris deal was not the deal we should be defending. This and more on Redacted Tonight VIP.

The Supreme Court opens its heavy caseload with a worker’s rights to sue as a collective against his or her employer. At question is the legality of mandatory arbitration clauses in workers’ contracts which force workers to privately settle grievances with their employer under their employer's’ terms. The courthouse doors to workers in many high profile cases like UBER drivers’ struggle for minimum wage, women facing sexual harassment at UBER and FOX news, and customers have been unable to sue Wells Fargo and Equifax for their data breaches. While, 80% of the US top 100 employers use have them buried in the fine print in their contracts, middle and working class wages decline, and union membership drop, what rights will be left for workers if this case does not end mandatory arbitration for good? Naomi Karavani discusses this. *** Source Material - http://bit.ly/2gj3Q6x *** Subscribing to our YouTube channel helps us grow.
