he can be more active and engaging with his rivals. he s planted a flag on health care and now on criminal justice reform. to booker s point, booker is saying you did this in the past, i m not going to forgive you. that s a dangerous place to be in politics. every politician makes mistakes. every politician has times change, things change. senator harris is introducing with chairman nadler a new bill to decriminalize marijuana. row move marijuana from the controlled substances act, resentence and expunge past and pending convictions. a whole number of issues there. this for her is a flip. when she was a prosecutor in san francisco, she had a much different view. she opposed a california ballot initiative to make more lenient marijuana laws. so a lot of politicians change. they do. and one of the one of the things that appeals to voters when candidates go after their support is not just to sort of focus on the substantive issue, whatever it is, in this case crime, but to call into q
speaking to the kinds of unifying of the country that we have to do right now. a morning consult poll on african-american support for the candidates, joe biden does very well, better than the african-american candidates in the race. now that may be just because everyone knows joe biden s name. if joe biden figures out a way to respond to these things properly, does he get to save himself amongst african-american voters? i think he does. there is a lot of time between now and the primary and then a general election. the issue for joe biden is is he going to learn from his mistakes over the past few weeks because he is making mistakes. he is not framing, he s trying to make points and not framing them in effective ways that show who he is today. i think that was cory booker s point. that is absolutely senator booker s point. i think what he was trying to do in chicago today was say here s who i am. if you notice he said he

and yet, they respected the fact that they didn t own every document. other people might own them. we don t own these, so we have to go through the process. a process ordained by a law that we passed. that only we have the power to change. let s follow that law. we can follow the law and respect the process and respect the rights of each of our colleagues, and the rights of the american people to review documents that might be relevant here. but let s go through the appropriate process to do it. mr. chairman? i think i will be fair to the republicans. i think you should, too. go ahead, senator. thank you, mr. chairman. i took nearly 17 years to get my college degree. i went to five different institutions. i m pretty sure none of them have been elevated to the ivy league. that s right. i don t ever plan on running for president in 2020 or at any point in the future. i want to make one more comment, and then one request. the comment, as i hope everybody
name of this person? we won t limit from the new york times. of course, the editorial board is proud of publishing this because the new york times editorial board despises president trump. this was a gift from the gods. as far as the president saying he actually said at one point, the times editors should turn over this person on national security grounds. what grounds? there is no classified thing here. it s the person s opinion. i agree with the president that this person is gutless. if he doesn t agree with what s going on, he should quit, write a book, speak out, or do whatever. i think eventually with all of the journalistic firepower now focused on this, we might eventually figure out who it is. sandra: since then, a couple members of the president s team, the highest of his team including vice president mike pence have reacted. saying it was not them. mike pompeo as well, but here is pentz s team reaction. the vice president puts his name on his op-ed, the new york t
