Today, Craig is going to talk about something you fans out there have been demanding for months – money in politics. Specifically, we’re going to talk about special interest groups and their role in the U.S. political system. Special interest groups are groups of individuals that make policy-related appeals to government – like the NRA, AARP, or the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It’s all pretty controversial, as money plays an important role in the policies and people these groups influence, so we’ll bring in the clones to argue for and against them.

Omg is this the Wheezy Waiter guy?
why are you rushing too much? Do you have to go for toilet. you are too fast .Be little slow
But isn't this assuming that the wealthy have different opinions than the poor all the time?
Playback speed 0.75
I just want to let you know that you are genuinely funny, and every bit as good as Green. Not that you'll ever see this, but there. I said it.
Dude can you talk slower because I cannot understand what you’re saying 🤦🏻♂️
speaks to damn fast
Yeet the baby
Boutta try to ""lobby"" some politicians by talking to them, but I don't have any money. Wish me luck!
Hate to say this but John Greene is kinda better.
why you bully your eagle every episode?
I thought it said cash course, but now I think you have a spelling error.
cant believe i just saw wheezy waiter do a crash course. I'm truly shook
What exactly happens to all those lobbying dollars? Is it just spent on campaign advertising which seems rather harmless, or are politicians actually pocketing it somehow
Government finals tomorrow from the university of maryland! thanks! much Love!
Why are you sooo mean to the eagle? Why?!!
Why didn’t you included PETA in this as interest group
This is not John Green. Or Hank.
Where's John Green?
I wish you would make crash course political science.
I feel like he talks to fast and have to watch the episode many times to understand
What is corpoartism. Does this interest groups come under corporatism. How does this corporatism help government business relations
WE STILL LOVE YOU CRAIG!!!!!!
Who can help me with the hw
I just want you to know if you can make a video on " running for political office"
You talk at 110mph
1:37 unless his 'professional advisors' are the same ones who lead interest groups.
3:16 😂😂😂
Hello Barlow gov students
Senators need term limits, they need to remove the ability to investment with inside information, and they need better super pac disclosures so dark money doesn't influence elections. Very common sense but they don't approve it even though it has been put on floor because most of them are corrupt and happy with status quo.
"I'm still not John Green" aww that made me sad
“Well I have a chart”
“Aooh”
6:20
TriHard 7
lmao he killed it.
This CrashCourse is helping me more than google for SOL 🙂
Hey crash course, can you do politics, but at an international level?
USA is a corporate runned country where personnal interests of a few lobbies trumps the interests of the population. And the American population is too dumb to do something about that (for exemple in France, the law forbid lobbies to finance presidential campaigns).
Hello There
Booooooo!!!! Down with inrerest groups!!!!!
i have my ap gov midterm tomorrow so i greatly appreciate these videos thank u
These help me study for midterms, you are a legend
So kinda like pressure groups?
This is really well done and loaded with lots of great information. Thank you.
I have learned more from these videos than any textbook or lecture. Thank you!!
1:01 political clout
A hydraulic press would be a more efficient way to exert pressure onto that eagle
I like the clones.
Interest group … – isn't that the same as lobbyists?
