tonight, more classified documents from biden s time as vice president found at a second location. first telling cnn, the president s legal team discovered this batch during a search conducted after the other classified documents were found back in november. it s just adding to the chaos and maybe the delight of some in washington d.c. tonight. if you look down pennsylvania avenue from the white house to congress, investigations are brewing. you can argue that some are absolutely warranted. you can argue some are absolutely not. but this is president biden s new reality, as he navigates the next two years with republicans controlling the house. i want to bring in former republican congressman, joe walsh, cnn political commentator, ashley allison, and téa mitchell, washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution. look, biden does not have the smoothest of paths ahead of him. we can say that with a straight face and perhaps a little bit of a smile or a friend. as
yes. if you actually talk to people who believe in defund the police, it s about police reform, it s about reinvesting in communities. it s about keeping black and brown people safe from police officers who unfortunately are stopped and killed by police. that s what the movement of defunding the police, whether you agree with it or not. but republicans take it and say, you re coming from a gas stoves. well, this just proves a point. who do we go from gas stoves to defunding the police, proves that politics always finds a common thread. and how we dealt with, i can imagine the headlines tomorrow about this very issue. i actually want to bring in joe allen, he s the director of the healthy buildings program. at harvard s t h chance school of public health. i m hoping you can help set the record straight in some respect, because our politics gets involved, people have a whole different viewpoint of what was said, what the impact is, gaston being taken out, or they banned, what s
