00:02In China, it's team money.

00:08There's a whole political world out there that runs on dark money.
00:15When elected public officials deal with business interests,
00:18corruption and bribery take over.
00:22Dark money led to the biggest case of political corruption
00:25in the history of Ohio.
00:27In 2019, there was an investigation involving Matt Borges and Neil Clark.
00:32Neil had been one of the most powerful lobbyists in the history of the state.

01:47Another way is that both parties are corrupt.
01:52When it comes to the power of big business, the fix seems to be in.
