very busy tuesday morning. right now president biden is facing questions over how he handled classified documents when he was vice president. his attorneys found those documents from his time as vp in a private office and we should note turned them over immediately to the national archives. attorney general merrick garland calling on a u.s. attorney to now investigate any potential damage. we will discuss the impact and also how this case differs from former president trump s handling of classified documents. all this as the president wakes up this morning in mexico. immigration of course a top priority as cnn learns new details about the president s plan now to curb the surge at the southern border. plus evacuations under way in several parts of california as deadly storms slam the state. intense flooding leading to mudslides, power outages. check out this scene. this is in santa clarita. first responders you see there rescuing people from submerged cars. as this have mo
polls. who will succeed joe biden? well, you know, there s no question in my mind that joe biden is doing exactly what needs to be done for this great country of ours. we all know that our democracy is teetering on edge. we need a joe biden to get us through this rough patch. i think he s doing great with that. we know that this forecast includes vice president harris. i support her. and i m just saying that if he chooses not to run again, first on my list after him would be kamala harris. democrats saying it s kamala s time to shine, never mind poor handling of the border. i think she doesn t get to show the personality enough, so people haven t had a chance to know her. most of the media is white and male, and their take on kamala becomes conventional wisdom. joy reid is right. here s the real kamala. i experienced great joy when i watched this brilliant, phenomenal black woman, jurist, be so smart, and just cut through the political gamesmanship that they were atte
joining us. you thought it was over but not. a potentially huge development in trump s new york trial but, first, they can t stop him. that s the focus of tonight s angle. laura: five months from election day and the list of democrat failures continues to grow by the day. now, it s friday, let s have some fun and quickly categorize them in chronological order. first, the biden team and their press homeys thought they could use jan 6 to intimidate trump supporters and scare away all the independents. history is watching, just like history watched three years ago on january 6th. whether insurrectionists stormed this very capitol and placed a dagger in the throws democracy. laura: dagger. trump left office on january 20th if you can t remember. insurrection u.s. government without weapons? okay. well, of course, democrats using jan 6th thought a second impeachment trial would do him in. according to the reuters ipsos poll, fewer one in five said they watched multiple hours
favor of him. the number of people actually protesting against trump, there was maybe, you know, a couple of dozen. laura: three. versus hundreds of people pro-trump. even out on the streets a tremendous enthusiasm gap. if that is happening in san francisco. what does that tell you is happening across the country? laura: what docile con valley. i know we are silicon valley. what do they hope for in exchange for their support? honestly, it s not that transactional, laura. it s not like there is some overt quid pro quo. most of these people just really love america and they want to see america doing better. now, in terms of what the industry cares about, the industry wants to be able to innovate. and the biden administration has been very hostile towards innovation. it s been extremely hostile towards the crypto industry. it s already trying to overregulate ai. it s basically put the kibosh on any mma. i do think that the industry would like to have more pro-innovation policies c
helps their defense. they are saying this is what we ve been talking about, overclassification of documents, how difficult it is to keep track of all of this these, particularly when you leave office. they think this helps their defense. so far what we know from the biden team is that these two matters are sle different, that mar-a-lago is a much more complicated investigation. for example, the volume of material we are talking about, fewer than a dozen documents versus hundreds of classified documents. the level of cooperation, the biden team says they are fully cooperating. we know trump really would not cooperate fully with the government, only turned over many of these documents when subpoenas were obtained. he is also under investigation in addition to the questions about classified information for possible obstruction. a lot of differences based on what we know now but i caution there is a lot more reporting to do and a lot of unanswered questions here about the biden matter. p
