Andy and Kansas you're on the earth thanks for holding

So Alex some of the first time I'm a huge fan. I love your work. I love you. Hey everybody welcome back to knowledge fight

I'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We're here really quick just to drop in with a what I'm gonna call a spiritual correction

On the last episode we talked about

campaign donations right that Trump had gotten and Hillary Clinton had gotten and we were not inaccurate

But I found information later that

After we'd recorded the episode that I feel like I would be remiss if I didn't point out and call myself out on

One of those things that's most important is that Renaissance technologies the company that is owned by Robert Mercer

gave Trump 15 million dollars in the campaign 15.5 million dollars

But I later found out he also gave Hillary 14 million dollars

So

So he's hedging his bets, which is what literally every billionaire did absolutely like everybody at Goldman Sachs

gave Hillary a shit ton of money and also

Trump a shit ton of money. Well actually they would have wound up in the cabinet either direction actually that's kind of interesting

Oh, that's the other correction that I needed to make we weren't specific enough about the Goldman Sachs stuff with Trump okay

The reality is that Goldman Sachs banned all their partners for making donations

Interesting to Trump and Pence

Interesting and the reason

Is that they had made a policy change about

supporting candidates running for state or local offices as well as giving money to people who are sitting state or local officials

running for federal office and quote from a memo that was distributed to Goldman Sachs employees

This policy change is meant to prevent inadvertently violating pay to play rules
