| 0:00.0 | I'm Bill Moyers. It's good to have your ear. |
| 0:06.5 | Senator Bernie Sanders owned breaking big money's grip on democracy. |
| 0:11.5 | Apparently for these guys, owning and controlling our economy is not enough. |
| 0:18.7 | They now want to own and control the government, and we are not going to |
| 0:22.9 | allow them to do that. Not in Richmond, not anywhere. I think the decision of the Supreme |
| 0:29.2 | Court will go down in history in Citizens United is one of the worst decisions ever. Free speech |

| 1:19.9 | And neither, I'd guess, is United States Senator Bernie Sanders. |
| 1:23.7 | Because a couple of weeks ago, Bernie Sanders was in Richmond, California, a small city of just |
| 1:29.5 | over 100,000 in the Bay Area of San Francisco. He was speaking out against the energy giant |
| 1:35.2 | Chevron and the big money in spending to influence the local elections there. |
| 1:39.9 | And if Chevron can roll over you, they and their buddies will roll over every community in America. |
