How much to be heard in Washington? More than you have.
Stephen Keller built a multibillion-dollar company — then crossed an industry that drew the federal government’s ire.
In The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Keller and Shabbos Kestenbaum explain: powerful insurers, political money, and a pay-to-play system where laws go to the highest bidder. Lobbyists write rules, PACs buy access, and without money or connections you don’t just lose — you can become a target.
They cover Citizens United, record lobbying, government weaponization, DOJ accountability, and whether the system can be fixed.
Watch it. Then ask who’s really writing the laws you live under.
