Topic: House Republican Campaign Committee

Congressman Ken Buck of Colorado discussed his book "Drain the Swamp" on C-SPAN, revealing a system where members must pay "dues" to the party to secure committee assignments. Buck detailed that seats on influential committees can cost between $450,000 and $1.2 million, forcing representatives to spend significant time fundraising from lobbyists. The hosts describe this practice as a "mob setup" and a major scandal in Washington D.C.
