The Author of HR 1 on Saving Our Democracy [09-19-19]

On this week's special episode, Larry Lessig talks with
Representative John Sarbanes. Sarbanes is the lead author of HR
1, which passed the House in March and, if passed by the Senate
and signed by the President, would fundamentally alter the way
politicians raise money and would improve our democracy in ways
big and small. Sarbanes discusses the origin of HR 1, why he
thinks that the way most politicians raise money is so harmful,
and why the bill is so urgently needed.
