This is from the transcript:

"Dylan Ratigan: "We've got a real problem...this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, republicans aren't doing it, an entire integrated system, banking, trade and taxation, created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our entire country right now....People of the United States of America, your Congress is bought, your Congress is incapable of making legislation on healthcare, banking, trade or taxes because if they do, they will lose their political funding and they won't do it....Money in politics is the root of all political evil. It is corruption at its worst."
