American politics has become one big cage match. Owning the other side is social currency on social and news media.

Currency that is cashed in by grabbing attention, creating clickable headlines, and getting as many people to respond emotionally as possible.

Today, an inside look at how Washington works from Congressman David Schweikert. Despite this, Schweikert remains 'pathologically optimistic.'

On Equal Matters, the Congressman discusses:

The need for transparency and accountability in political contributions

The misuse of funds by consultants and fundraisers.

Needing a "charity navigator" for political action committees.

Congressman Schweikert has been in Washington for 14 years. Washington, he says, is about money, power, and vanity.

It's always about the money. Enjoy.
