vaping has become a very big business, as i understand it, a giant business in a very short period of time, but we can t allow people to get sick and we can t have our youth be so effective. parents are going to be a lot tougher with respect to their children. a lot of people think vaping is wonderful, it s great. it s really not wonderful. martha: it s really not wonderful, says the president. after years of no smoking education in america, more and more kids are now essentially smoking again, but now instead of cigarettes, they are vaping, a smokeless form. there also vaping thc, or part. in some cases people are dying from that is what a lot of folks looking at the situation believe. so this map shows the states were people have died. six deaths so far and in yellow are states were people have become ill or have been hospitalized from vaping.
martha: so college athletes may be one step closer to getting paid while they play in school. the california state senate has just passed a bill allowing athletes to earn money from their name, image, or likeness through sponsorships or endorsements beginning in 2023. the bill now headed to governor gavin newsom s desk. he has not said yet whether or not he supports it. according to my next guest, this change has been a long time coming. he lost his division i fall scholarship for making these youtube videos using his own likeness to earn subscribers and ultimately some money from advertisements. donald de la haye left the university of central florida, division i football and he now plays on the team for the toronto argonauts in the canadian football league. donald, great to have you here, thank you very much for being here tonight. thank you for having me. martha: tell me what happened to you. so i basically just love
so. so both lying affirmatively and then failing to tell the truth when he had an obligation to do so. martha: we don t know whether or not his name is going to be intertwined into the reports that are still to come out, the larger report from the inspector general michael horowitz and then john durham s report, as an attorney, state state s attorney report that s coming out, but bill barr, who has seen more of these documents and you have seen more of them as well, i just want to remind everyone, said this about what s to come. yes, i think spying did occur. i m not going to speculate about what he said, we are going to find out when it started. some of the explanations i ve gotten don t hang together so in a sense i have more questions today than i did when i first started. martha: you said back in may watch the emails between brennan and clapper, correct? brennan and comey. martha: brennan and comey, excuse me. can you expand on that? well, i mean, we are in december of
the things that has been discussed in politico this week is this suggestion that to vice president biden s allies and his supporters, they feel that one of the reasons that he is getting so much attention on these gaffes is that the younger reporters are essentially not being fair to him, not hearing his own message. well, look, martha, i believe the underlying sentiment of that story is basically something our campaign has had from the beginning. there is a press narrative out there and sometimes that press narrative doesn t necessarily bear up with what we are seeing on the ground. that s understandable. i don t think i ve ever met a reporter didn t ask for more access and i don t think i ve ever met a campaign operative that didn t say they weren t being covered fairly. so this is something that s not new, but what we will say is tonight on the debate stage, you can expect vice president biden to distinguish himself on policy. folks are making a lot of hype about the fact that is
health insurance policy already and most of them would like to keep it, is that something or he would try to drive a moment and really drop contract with other people on the stage with other people have said eventually they want to take that away from those hundred and 70-180 million people? you can expect vice president biden to give a forceful defense, if you will, of obamacare, but also his own vision for how he builds on that success. if there are real s distinctions in this race when it comes to health care, for example. when it comes to plans on climate change. vice president biden believes there are some folks in a debate stage tonight who aren t being straight with the american people and we are going to talk about how you pay for your plan and if people really are truly covered. i am expecting a very vigorous debate on policy tonight and you can expect health care martha: so he s ready to go? he s ready to go? he s ready to go. we are going to talk policy, he s ready.
