To his staff not to charge at the highest levels. So in other words not to invoke a lat of these mandatory minimum sentences that we know have helped explode the the prison population and has not given the safety return that we deserve. Very recently the new attorney general who has long been an opponent re versed that directive and is now directing his staff and u. S. Attorneys and prosecutors around the country to charge at the highest levels including at mandatory minimum sentencing levels. Obviously my organization feels thats going in the wrong direction because states around the country that have sclscombplemented reforms complementing reforms have seen much better Public Safety outcomes. Zoo it seemed toward the end of the Obama Administration there was some bipartisan efforts both on the issue of federal sentence bug more broadly on that but particularly on the area of cocaine and crack cocaine and powder cocaine disparity in that sentencing on those crimes. And i want to be ve

The very first week of the first weeks of the trump administration, trump signed an executive order with respect to kranz National Transnational criminal organizations.

Founded in his opinions on rather major Public Policies of the day . I dont know, john. We sort of left him for dead a few times in the last seven, eight, nine months. There was a day last july or august. I was up in Northern Michigan and he made his comment about john mccain not being a hero and i thought that was it for him and then he made those comments about the arabs and on the day 9 11 and on the arabs cheering and i thought that was we are looking at the storylines this week when it comes to Media Coverage of campaign 2016. Warrw ise here ton for you. Frank, good morning. Caller i want to make a comment with regard to the Campaign Manager issue with donald trump. He see that,e especially in the liberal media, they never use the word, alleged. That is concerning. Seems that everyone has become judge and jury as to what the situation is.

With wisconsin voters where there is a Progressive Community, we want to hear from you as well. You can go to twitter cspanwj. Lets begin with Hillary Clinton. Early in the primary season, she has been saying she is a pragmatic progressive, one that gets things done. Here is what she said when she was asked why progressives should support her.

We have different differences and honestly i think we should be talking about what we want to do for the country but if we are going to get into labels, i do not think it
Insurance. Many of you have health insurance, but you are underinsured with large deductibles and copayments. And every day in this country, we are being ripped off in an unconscionable way by Drug Companies, for charging us higher prices in the world of prescription drugs. [applause] mr. Sanders if you want to talk about crazy, crazy is one out of five americans getting prescriptions from their doctors and not being able to afford those prescriptions. Crazy is seeing Senior Citizens dividing their pills in half because they do not have the money to buy the medicine they need. And that is why, in my view, at a time with this country dont tell me that health care, dont talk about the cost of Health Care Without understanding that in our country, we are spending far more per capita on health care than on the people of any other country. We spent almost three times more than the british do. 50 more than the french, for more percent four times more than the canadians. That is why i believe
