So to my mind, by the way, when we talk about bringing about the necessary changes, this country needs, our campaign finance reform and doing away with Citizens United, that terrible Supreme Court decision, top of the list. Citizens United. Bring that decision up. Citizens United was the Supreme Court decision that said you have, you're a billionaire. Okay, you got it. You have the freedom of speech, First Amendment to say anything you want about Bernie Sanders. You want to put ads on the air, you can spend zillions of dollars. Freedom of speech. And that's what Citizens United said. And obviously that undermines democracy because it allows billionaires the right to buy elections. And can we bring this back to a vote? Like, will Mike Johnson bring this back to a vote? (14:44–15:05)

Asserts that Citizens United allows billionaires to spend unlimited money on political ads under the guise of free speech.
