MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt Highlights Hillary Clinton’s Exorbitant Speaking Fees

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

HUNT: "Hey, guys. Yeah, we were talking earlier about how Bernie Sanders has started to talk like somebody who might become president and attacking like one too which is something he said he wouldn’t do. He’s doing this on one of his issues."
[clip starts]
SANDERS: " I don’t get personal speaking fees from Goldman and Sachs."
HUNT (voice-over): " It’s the sharpest attack yet from a candidate who promised to stay positive. Bernie Sanders went after front runner Hillary Clinton in the NBC news debate and Clinton hit back."
CLINTON: " Senator Sanders, you’re the only one on this stage that voted to deregulate the financial market in 2000."
HUNT (voice-over): "Her campaign has tried to call out Sanders for going negative but with Wall Street one of the core issues in the democratic race, Sanders has doubled down insisting it’s nothing personal."
SANDERS: " It’s a fact. Anyone disagree with me? She’s received $600,000 in one year in speaking fees from Goldman and Sachs. If it’s not true, I’ll apologize. It’s true."
HUNT (voice-over): "It is true. Her usual fee $225,000. More than four times the median American family income.
HUNT (voice-over): " Sanders got back up recently from Joe Biden. Hillary’s focus has been other things and that’s been Bernie’s, no one questions Bernie’s authenticity.Bernie Sanders isn’t letting it go. Now to use Clinton’s Goldman and Sachs ties to raise money."
SANDERS: "I have been working against inequality since I was right out of law school. I’ve been trying to wrk for the odds for people left behind and left out."
HUNT (voice-over): "They don’t sound that different from Donald Trump’s lines about the fact he doesn’t need to take money from anybody to run the campaign he has. You’re seeing the Clintons make the elect blt argument. They have a strong hand based on sander’s background but I’m starting to wonder if somebody in the Clinton camp shouldn’t get on the phone."
