No transcripts yet, if ever, but there are the memories of those attending, and here is reference to one: fortune.com/2016/02/09/clinton-speeches-goldman-sachs/ A good bet by Sanders that those speeches are a liability; if you're getting paid $200k a pop for a speech and are making a series, are you gonna bite the hand that holds the check? Goldman-Sachs are not masochists, and aren't going to pony-up just to get whipped by a celebrity.
True enough that $200k+ is not a whole lot for a speech as these things go. You can bet Donnie Trump wouldn't bother for peanuts like that, unless he's campaigning and cameras are rolling.
Still, the problem is the relationship. Money spent on pols doesn't always buy votes but it does buy access -- attention. And access/attention goes a long way.
