Martha senator Lindsey Graham has known joe biden for decades. He has watched this evolution of the now president up close. Senator, good to have you with us. Thanks for being here today. Thank you. Martha obviously we laid out the clear problem of crime across this country. Now the white house is in a position where they need to confront it. What do you expect moments from now .
