Billionaires have tried very hard to buy influence and political power. For example, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg donated $20 milliontoward efforts to reelect Biden this year alone.

Bishop William Barber, co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, joins us as the Republican National Convention wraps up in Milwaukee.

"They may have toned down their voices, but they did not tone down their extreme policies," he says.
