Her there. you invideed her? yes. probably not. it was probably a staff issue. what do you do there? at the breakfast club? what s it about? we invite people to come and speak to us, inform our members, let them know what s going on. people from the legislature come down and give us a heads-up what will go on this session. of course, candidates come by and sometimes they are practicing their speeches or polishing their speeches so it is an open forum for people to learn about political issues. dana: this is something that was talked about the special part of america where people get together and have civil conversations and inform themselves. how seriously do people take this particular caucus tonight? very, very seriously. i think you will see a good crowd tonight. iowans are used to cold weather. we have had a day or two to dig off. i don t think there will be very ....
As well, i guess which could change the emotions of some voters. we ll see if it does. ba bakari, politico s jonathan martin made this observation on twitter about the turmoil in the desantis campaign. he said this. inviting a month of summer process stories by staggering three separate staff changes, that s a candidate issue, not a staff issue. is that ultimately how you see it as well? i think so. i think that a lot of republicans had some faith that maybe ron desantis was the next coming of ronald reagan or had the talent of barack obama. that s just not the case. he s more tim pawlenty and scott walker than anything else. i think what you re seeing is someone as they go out on the campaign trail, has a very, very awkward way in which he communicates with voters. the more voters meet him, the less they like him. they like him on paper a little bit, but they don t like him when they meet him. one of the things has to be said about this direction of the campaign. you re not go ....
That they re working, that it seems to have increased compared to prepandemic levels. that s concerning. you want to make sure our pilots are rested and feel good. absolutely. there are regulations that the faa has with respect to the hours that crews work, and so those regulations need to be foll followed and enforced. so at the faa safety summit this week we ve been referring to, the union said there s a staff issue with 1,200 or 12,000, i believe 12,000 less certified professional controllers than there were ten years ago. that s also concerning. i mean is this about funding from congress or is it about recruitment and is it tough to attract people to work as air traffic controllers? ....
To paraphrase what he said yesterday. from everything we ve seen, that s the reasonable assumption. but just to remind people when you work in the senate, these are not files that you might casually throw in your briefcase and go home on amtrak with. there is a process. you guys have covered the whole scif system whether it s senators or staff. these documents are very tightly controlled and you have to work on it to evade those controls. dana: if staff is packing things up they don t necessarily leave it next to the corvette. i don t like it when people throw their staff under the bus for things you should take responsibility for. i agree 100%. if it really is a staff issue, where is that person, who is that person? have they been fired from the biden administration? ....
Presidents to remove classified documents, knowingly or unknowingly, and storing them, has it happened before. and also to the question of the impartiality and the respect that members of both parties have for prosecutor rob hur because i m just a bit skeptical given that we heard the same accolades in the initial early days of bob mueller being assigned to investigate the former president until that all changed. sure. so to your first question, i think jamie is absolutely right. i think this is until very recently, these problems with the retention of classified material or sensitive material by presidents is fairly rare. i would suggest that the reason for that is because presidential administrations and vice presidential administrations have large, competent professional staffs. this is largely a staff issue. i would be willing to bet a lot of money that joe biden didn t ....
