i want to talk to top democratic on the judiciary committee in the united states senate, dick durbin. senator, i want to talk about all of that. let's go back to where we started this program which is what we're looking at in california. we are waiting for law enforcement to give us an update. we do have some facts, and one of those is that ten people at least are dead, another ten injured in monterey park, california. we know that this was during a lunar new year celebration, not much more. what is your reaction? >> well, the same celebrations are taking place here in chicago and across the united states. i'm very concerned for our asian population. i hope we learn more quickly. i hope this is not a hate crime against asian-americans. there have been far too many of those in the recent past. but we're dealing with the tragedy of mass shootings which is sadly a uniquely american experience. it happens over and over and over again, hundreds of times last year, including the shooting at a fourth of july parade in highland park, ill now, taking the lives of children and causing great dam

i you don't understand it, and that's probably why dick durbin was saying what dick durbin was saying years ago, i'm still not saying anything about classified briefings i got just because. you don't take a chance. >> you know who knows that better than anyone. joe biden. >> it doesn't seem that way, mike. why are there so many classified documents? why are there classified documents in his garage? why are there classified documents in his home? >> it's incredibly sloppy, it's unforgivable in a certain sense. i do not believe he's been diminished by this. he's been deeply embarrassed by this. we don't know who packed those boxes. you know what it is. >> mike, can i ask you this, why don't we know that? he needs to come out because you and i both have known joe biden for a long time. joe biden speaking for myself, he's a good man. i don't think he's done this with malevolent intent. doesn't he need to get out and say i'm totally embarrassed. i'm embarrassed by what happened here, i'm embarrassed by the way things were packed up. i'm embarrassed by stuff that was brought here or there.

because the other thing dick durbin said earlier, when he was asked is it going to be reasonable, he referenced benghazi, implying no, it won't. the white house does understand that they are going to have to respond to these requests. they are going to have to be dealing with what james comer is saying every day about questions he has about this. >> chairman comer saying things about the investigation, that's one thing. oversight committee member marjorie taylor greene saying things, that's another. >> how do they coordinate that, with someone like him wanting to run the investigation and also dealing with members like that. >> thanks so much. >>> coming up an update on the school shooting in des moines, iowa. and why george santos lies could bite one of the most powerful republicans in the house. stay with us. we''re providing greater access to investing, with low-cost options to help maximize savinings. from the plains to the coastst, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. gronk speaking. great news gronk! you're going to be in the fanduel super bow

i mentioned senator dick durbin.was asked about comparing this to taking a higher ground compared to what president trump did and dick durbin said of course biden has lost the higher ground. >> cheryl: of course he has because polling is showing americans have lost faith and confidence in him as well as how he has handled the entire mess. and playing politics let's go to december 2nd when the documents were found at the penn biden center. they didn't come forward right away, his lawyers didn't, they waited until after the midterms. that is a pretty easy analysis there there is a lot of politicking going on behind the scenes. member karine jean-pierre we now know was not involved in any of that so i think she has been caught a little off guard i think it shows as far as communications or lack thereof from the white house. the other thing i thought they pointed out in "the new york post" very well is if you look at the timeline and cnn reported there were ukraine documents, iran documents, u.k. documents, this was 2013

thank you, and we will be talking to dick durbin in just a minute and ask him those very questions. thank you so much. >> thank you, martha. >>> as memphis police department comes under intense scrutiny, we want to bring in apex north carolina police chief jason armstrong. he previouy sllethd e liferguso after it was overhauled in the wake of michael brown's fatal shooting in 2014. good morning, chief. thanks for joining us. i know this video is incredibly upsetting to you. tyre didn't have a weapon. he was pleading for mercy. there were more than five officers against one man. how can officers get so out of control? >> my answer to that question is i don't know. watching that video, you know, my heart breaks for tyre. my heart breaks for his family, but what i saw on that video wasn't policing. what i saw in that video were individuals that were, you know, intent on imposing their force and their domination on a individual, and it was uncalled for. >> as we have said, reforms have been madeold pndee ic in memphis in 2020. so can reforms and police training prevent this? memphis sai

illinois democratic senator dick durbin weighing in on cnn's state of the union said biden has lost the high ground here when it comes to criticism over classified documents. >> let's be honest about it. when the information is found, it diminishes the stature of any person who is in possession of it. because it's not supposed to happen. the elected official bears ultimate responsibility. >> some democrats growing more critical of biden's handling of classified documents and house republicans pledge yet more probes to come. the white house is making a major staffing change. cnn white house correspondent arlette saenz is in rehoboth, delaware, with the president preparing to return to washington this hour. i wonder how is biden's circle explaining this personnel move? the chief of staff, ron klain, had an enormous role in the administration. why now and what will zions do differently? >> well, it comes, of course, as the administration is grabbing with this issue of the classified documents. but the decision to appoint jeffrey zients as the white house chief of staff comes as they're rea

this isn't great. >> on the sunday shows yesterday, we saw joe manchin on "meet the press," and dick durbin, number two senate democrat, on cnn, end up responding to president biden's remarks from last week, that i have no regrets on how i've handled this, and there's no "there" there to these classified documents that are being discovered. both manchin and durbin ended up saying yes, there is some "there" there. that you should be up front, and admit, admit a mistake, to be able to have classified information like. that and both manchin and durbin walked through their experiences as senators dealing with classified information. the rigors, the scif rooms that you have to go and questioned on these types of happenings, and tranches of documents coming from president biden's residences or former offices. now hallie, as you gist mentioned, it is important to, as you just mentioned, it is important to note, as senators man chichb and durbin did, there are big differences how president biden has handled there versus donald trump. you know that biden's team has been more transparent about notify

that would have been chokeholds and no knock warrants fell apart in 2021, now senate majority whip dick durbin is calling on lawmakers to revive their efforts. these men and women with badges, put them on each day and risk their lives for us. i know that but we also see from these videos horrible conduct, but congressman jim jordans, chair of the house judiciary committee, says police reform efforts should be kept to the state and local level. i don't know that any any training any ban on there was no chokeholds used their what they did. there was just just continue to beat this this mr nichols and so i don't know if that's the answer comes as civil rights leader al sharpton is set to give the eulogy at nicole's funeral wednesday, the first day of black history month. cup i need to do anything. videos released by investigators. shell memphis police officers striking the 29 year old repeatedly after they say he fled a traffic stop. nichols is taste punched, kicked and hit with batons for several minutes. he died at the hospital . three days later. analysis by the new york times found, the offic

i started a caucus called the ukraine caucus with democrat dick durbin from illinois. and we have over, gosh, the past seven or eight or nine years, provided a lot of help to the ukrainian people to be able to fend off russia's attacks right after 2014, that initial assault, and of course this huge invasion in february this year. the ukrainian security assistance initiative is my legislation, and that's what enabled us to train the ukrainians to be able to fight for themselves. and the modern ukrainian army you see on the field today that is making progress against this much larger russian army, that pretty much everyone thought was going to be occupying ukraine by now, that army being well-trained and well-equipped is a result of that legislation. so, that makes me feel good about what we were able to achieve for ukrainian people's quest for freedom, to protect their homeland, just basic decency against this illegal and unprovoked and brutal attack by russia. we have a lot of ukrainians in ohio. i was recently in cleveland last weekend for their annual christmas party

certainly, dick durbin and john cornyn of texas would be an odd couple. in bankruptcy. >> you mentioned senator -- i think that's important. senator hawley, i understand, is also supporting the spell. so you have a real bipartisan group of senators that you put together. we have the votes for this? >> first things first. committees. the bill has to go through the committee. >> i wanted to get a pledge from the senator that he would move the bill to the committee asap. >> bringing it to the committee, you're the chair. >> luckily, i'm chair of the senate judiciary committee, and -- the three of us, as a starting point, we need 12 votes to reported out of the committee. >> if you send your determined to do that the session? >> yes. >> that's terrific. >> easier said than done in the senate. when you say want to bring an idea to the floor, then we have to beg children to give us a niche. a piece of the calendar, so we can call the bill. it takes some time, you know? >> i don't know if you notice already. we spoke to shimmery simply, and he said he's now very

what you have over the weekend is republicans and even a democrat, the senate majority whip dick durbinng this is embarrassing. this should be happening. not everyone is going to see it as they cancel each other out. this is not a top priority for the american people. a lot of polls will show you that. it is a priority at this moment for republicans. alix: even democrats are critical over this. we have some shakeups in the white house. how many more shakeups do we see as we geared toward 2024. >> people close to biden is he is on his way out. you will have individuals on the screen. this is normal. these jobs are incredibly taxing on an individual's life. it is normal to have a shakeup after midterm elections. it likely could be a little bit more difficult as they are trying to launch the 2024 bid. it the documents and a fight with congress about the debt ceiling. guy: it's certainly busy. great stuff as ever. let's talk about the markets. we are coming into the end of the day here in europe. european stocks continue to push higher. we are up by another 0.5%. i will show you thighs -- t

by the way if you see dick durbin from illinois, thanked him. he got them through. there are so many people that work to pass the george floyd and policing act. since that senate blocked it last year, i did what i could do. i signed a historic executive order that a -- included key elements at the federal level. it restricts no-knock warrants and creates a national database of officer misconduct that must be placed in the national database. tighten the use of force policies and emphasize de-escalation. we have to retrain cops and why you should shoot with deadly force. if you need to use your weapon, you do not need to do that. to call a fresh recruit. how we hire and train and promote and how we retain law enforcement. they come from the neighborhoods they serve. and know the people there to protect. i know people say community policing is not a good idea. comes a woman from delaware with the old neighborhood i worked in called the bucket. they need protection. they're asking for protection. overwhelmingly black community, but they want cops that are fair. they --

senate even liberal democrats like dick durbin are questioning how senator, vice president and presidenten could be careless in handling classified information, lucas i lucas tomlinson is joining us live from the white house . >> white house said more classifies documents were found in president biden home in wilmington. his personal lawyer described them. 6 item which from president's service in senate and tenure as vice president, the president said, 10 days ago he thought that the search was over. >> my lawyers reviewed other places where documents of -- from my time, as vice president wer stored, they finished that review last night. reporter: biden spent last weekend at his wilmington home, it was searched by the fbi friday. and this weekend at his other delaware home, but no classified documents have been found there yet. >> it takes us to the question of why were the documents here, now we learn some go back to his senate time, he ha has decam a serial classified document hoarder. reporter: this goes back to his time a long way. trey: thank you lucas tomlinson, we'll continue moni

and then dick durbin the senior senator talk about how they give me a new mission and lots of people have helped me along the way. >> that is a great detail. wh was the hardest part of the book to write there could be the crash maybe another part. >> is not a crash it is a shootdown. it was an intentional. they took aim. it's not on me but the fact the pilot who manned the aircraft did a remarkable piece of flying and landed the bird in one piece that's why we are all alive so i want to honor his expertise he was given the distinguished flying cross because of his actions so it wasn't a crash but it was a landing with an amazing effort. >> we will be sure to save shootdown. >> my early childhood was the hardest to write. and then i know that i was ashamed to be on food stamps and then thought ir was a failure. and then i had to realize that wasn't a failure but we never give up as a family and to this day don't get between me and penny on the ground. i know the value of a penny. that's not to be embarrassed or ashamed because we pick up ourselves. because of those that are food insec

that's a question that dick durbin had going forward but there's a big question about why this happened what was on the documents and in a matter of moments we expect the director of national intelligence to be behind closed doors with the senate intelligence committee and they plan to ask a lot of questions about this. >> okay thanks for the update. jim at the cnn political director joins us. david we understand you have some new polling about what americans think about all of this. what's the answer? >> first brought approval from americans across all parties for the appointment of a special counsel in the biden case 84 percent of americans in a brand-new pole approval that decision to appoint a special counsel 60 percent disapprove and across party lines when you ever see this in american politics? republicans, independents, democrats agree of an appointment by a special counsel. >> that's rare but what about the center of this the discovery of the documents at his home at the former office do people think it's a major problem? >> about two thirds of americans say it's a serious prob

here's what dick durbin said about that today. >> this is a call for all of us to be -- he has been working on this for years i think he and senator scott should sit down quickly to revive that effort. we but that end of it self is not enough. we need a national conversation about a responsible, constitutional inhumane way. >> an national conversation in every -- new ideas to keep every community safe. with the tennessee general reevaluating the need from low level traffic stops. the traffic stop initiated by the scorpion unit which is supposed to be aimed at fighting violent crime. we still unclear why that unit decided to pull nichols over. the officers charged remembers that special unit, they were not permanently shut down. nbc news correspondent, what should we know about the scorpion unit? what messages the police department hoping it is sending by deactivating it. >> alicia this unit was created in 2021. the intention was to fight crime we. they wanted to restore the peace in the neighborhood, they had about 40 officers in groups of ten. it had been permanently deactivated. tyrese ni

. >> bill: dick durbin was on cnn, the democratic senator from illinois. we got that, okay. the whole point is that he in all likelihood could lose the high ground when it comes to this. toward the end "wall street journal." come on back. the public can see the double standard. the white house is indulging to explain away his actions even if most of the press corps does not. that might be the case but not prevent the press corps from saying that trump is indeed different from biden. how do you see that? >> there are differences but there are also differences that cut away against joe biden. look, he just said when he says i have no regrets, that just shows the cavalier attitude he has towards this. the proper answer is if you really want the moral high ground is to say look, any time there are classified documents outside a secure compartmented facility something has gone wrong and i want to get to the bottom how the documents got there. i didn't know about them and i take it seriously. he says no there there. i have no regrets. that just demonstrates the cavalier attitude h

. >> let's listen to senator dick durbin when he was approached about classified documents he is comparing it to the former president trump. >> a literal outrage. >> what happened and followed from it is significantly different. >> how is it different? classified documents are classified documents. why is it that there is a cover up now and a backpedaling? nobody is even talking about the timing of all days. people love to slam trump of accusing democrats of stealing the election. let's talk about the midterm elections. >> i get the privilege of sitting here for this platform. real world experience. they have cover stories like this. it is easy for me to hone in on the politics and even the legality of can the president be indicted while he is in office? is there an opportunity here to set a precedent. should they be held to the same precedent? those are important issues, for sure. what is important to people sitting at home. are they surprised by this at all? no, they are not. they expect politicians to play by rules that only belong to the elites. i think a lot of people at home want to

many so mark warner and dick durbin, longtime allies of president biden, right, going back decades.t just new senators that popped up the other day, like alex padilla. i don't really know him. these people have been in the biden camp for a long time, pushing them to make comments i'm sure they don't want to have to make. you have to explain going into a scif, returning the documents, how it's possible they got out of there. >> brian: and at least one of those those documents is from his days as senator. so you're talking about 2007. >> jeanine: right. >> jessica: right. >> brian: it's a long time ago. >> jeanine: why haven't they gone in and searched the rehoboth house? why? >> jessica: mar-a-lago is a place where there are people being entertained. there are parties there every single night. that was cause for concern about how things were being kept. i understand that hunter biden is a big party animal, but it's not the same thing as having -- president trump is in a tuxedo all the time, entertaining tons of foreign nationals -- >> jeanine: have you ever been there? >> jessica: no

incredible gift to donald trump that in many people's minds, not the least of which are senator dick durbinnchin, two democrats who said yesterday they thought the administration had been damaged. we need to do a lot more in the transition process to make sure these classified documents go where they're supposed to go at the end of an administration. >> trump has argued that the justice department is treating biden differently than they're treating him. is trump wrong about that in your view. >> well, they are treating biden differently because trump treated the justice department differently, and the two are not equal, that's for sure. i think politically biden's self-inflicted wounds have pretty much absolve trump from the prospect of prosecution. it's hard to prosecute a former president to begin with. i think biden's errors here make it almost impossible. >> you think trump won't be prosecuted because of what's happened with biden? >> not on the documents. now, the january 6th prosecution, the georgia investigation, those are different. but on the documents front, i think he's skipped f

lindsey graham, and dick durbin, they have in the last 24 hours rekindled talks. spoke yesterday to both of them and they say they are hopeful about finding a solution so they can find a space for compromise. lindsay graham suggested a way to break the logjam specifically over the sticking of the immunity, and they should hold departments and not the individuals. the talks broke down and they could not get a deal with democrats. he spoke yesterday on the floor about the offering, a forward, and let's play what tim scott had to say. >> we should be able to build a coalition on the common ground on yes, we need more training on de-escalation and more grants, and, yes, we need the best wearing the badge. we should have simple legislation that we can agree upon that has been agreed upon in the past. >> tim scott is an interesting figure here because he is expected to head to iowa over the next month or so and he's teasing a run for president in 2024, and that's one of the big obstacles, can anything that gets 60 votes in the senate pass the house of representatives. t

here's dick durbin on this. watch this. >> when the information is found, it diminishes the stature of any personal who is in possession of it. it's not supposed to happen. embarrassed by the situation as he should have been. he invited the government agencies in to carefully look through all of the boxes he had accumulated. >> martha: are democrats digging into this and do they want to move on from this president, karl? >> maybe, a lot of ordinary democrats do. 77% in an abc poll says that president trump acted inappropriately. 64% said that of biden and that's last week. that's before the additional discovery. 66% of independents believe that biden acted inappropriately. if you look at it, 43% said trump was for serious concern. 21% say biden is more serious concern. 31% said they're both equally. these numbers will only get worse. >> martha: we're going to the white house. karine jean-pierre is getting a question on this. thanks to all of you. listen to what she has to say. >> the white house counsel's office

. >> harris: of course he has lost the high ground says senator dick durbin. a new op-ed points out the justice department's double standards on classified documents. quote, biden and trump both have special counsels but the president's lawyers got to conduct his search while his predecessors were not even allowed to be president. republican congressman tom emmer of minnesota, house majority whip for the 118th congress. great to have you in "focus" for the first time. welcome. >> good to be with you. >> harris: when you hear words like potential cover-up, possible influence peddling scheme, what is going on with capitol hill right now in terms of responding to this? >> i think everybody is trying to figure this one out. harris, i go back to last thursday when the president made the comment there is no there there. well, since then we've got a ratcheting up of this thing where the department of justice is actually scouring his house for hours. they are trying to make this look like it is different from other people who have classified documents. this might be t

that is something you heard senator dick durbin preference. one of the sticking points was qualified imimmunity, which offers immunity to police officers from being sued in court. for the time being, it remains unclear what kind of legislation could get passed or whether there's the appetite to do that, especially as republicans control the house. the president has been facing a call to meet with the congressional black caucus. so far the white house has not said if that type of meeting would be taking place this week or in the coming weeks. but certainly this is something that the white house will continue to face pressure on, as people want answers, and find ways to prevent incidents like this death of tyre nichols, from happening in the future. >> arlette saenz, thank you so much. >>> joining us now, steve mull roy, the district attorney for shelby county, tennessee. thank you so much for joining us. you've charged five of the officers with tyre nichols' death. there were others on the scene that night too. could we soon see others charged

he's been there for 18 months, and dick durbin essentially saying something at a national level needs says that he believes this needs to happen, really, it more of a local level. the house republicans are more focused on -- more than anything else. is there any reality check you can give us as to something happening on the national level, when it comes to police reform and the passing of the george floyd act? >> the george floyd bill needs to be passed. and we've been pushing this now for almost two years. when you think about how many people have been victimized, how many people have lost their lives in that time, we just don't have the time to wait. and we need to bring this up in the senate. we need to do with the filibuster, if that's necessary, to get this legislation passed. and i don't tolerate any of these excuses. i think some of the senators are slow walking this, and this needs to get done. we have to stop this scourge of violence against people of color, and put an end to it. these images are just horrifying, and we can't turn away from them. we have to acknowledge this i

while senator dick durbin admitted all of this actually hurts the president. >> when the information is found, it diminishes the stature of any person who is in possession of it because it's not supposed to happen. whether it was a fault of a staffer or attorney, makes no difference. the elected official bears ultimate responsibility. >> so the senate is back today. mark warner still waiting for the briefing and threat assessment on both the trump and the biden docu dramas. we found out the committee is meeting tomorrow afternoon. we'll see what that is about. now we know that some of the latest documents seized were also from biden's time in the senate and really, neil, has folks asking how and why in the world would he have taken classified documents with him when he was serving as senator. might everybody have some senators here today perhaps looking through their offices. neil? >> all right, aishah. thanks for that. aishah hasnie on capitol hill. to pete sessions. he serves on the house oversight committee, a key member on that committee. congressman, i can't keep up with all of

and according to dick durbin, that occurs in settings that are overseen by someone who takes that documentreviewed them. bob menendez, who chairs the foreign relations committee, another committee that biden once ran when he was a senator, said the same thing to me. it's unclear how the president could have had that from his time in the office. so a lot of questions here about exactly what happened here. even as democrats do say there is a difference in the situation involving donald trump, still concerns about how he got these documents. >> many concerns and questions. and biden also taking heat from republicans obviously in congress. they're not letting up in any way, finding more documents, of course, well, they probably couldn't think of anything better that could have happened. >> and there are a number of committees in the house that are already pushing forward to investigate house oversight chairman james comer has asked for information from the archives, asking from the white house and today asking from the secret service to provide visitor logs of people who came to joe biden's ho

senator dick durbin, a top democrat, said that he wants to see booker and scott sit down together to try to hammer out some details regarding police reform. take a listen to what he had to say. >> this is a call for all of us to really be honest about the situation. i'm chairman of the senate judiciary committee. we do many pieces of legislation. i think of the police reform package that senator booker was working on with senator scott, it had many elements in it that are important. banning chokeholds, dealing with no-warrant searches, dealing with accreditation of police departments. it's necessary that we do all these things, but not sufficient. >> senator -- i want to -- >> -- initial conversation. >> reporter: now, one big question is whether there will be the appetite for police reform up on capitol hill, especially as republicans now control the house. at the same time, members of the congressional black caucus are asking to meet with president biden this week to talk about police reform. and we're actually also learning just moments ago that the head of congressional black cau

the number 2 democrat, dick durbin, not sure if he supports tapping the secret service. >> i have to think about that. i respect chuck. but i don't know if the disclosure of people that visited with the president could compromise them in any way. i want to make sure we do this in a foughtful fashion and i want to see disclosure that takes that in to consideration. >> again, this briefing is ongoing and i will say if these senators do not get the answers that they're looking for, if the dni director does not speak about these documents, i imagine they'll come to the cameras and have something to say. >> neil: i wouldn't do it it. aishah hasnie following the developments on capitol hill. when they come out of that meeting, if they choose to address reporters, we'll take you there. right now we have gary palmer with us from alabama. he sits on the house oversight committee, republican chairman. so chairman, good to have you. thank you for taking the time. i know you've been requesting, others have been requesting a damage assessment. if you don't get that and it's parcelled out to the g

hearing dick durbin talk about that and hearing him talk about his concern when you asked do democratshat biden has lost the high ground here when it comes to this classified documents discussion. >> yeah. and his answer was basically yes. there really are two questions here. the most important question is the substance of it, the substance of what happened, what's there, why did it happen. that's the most critical. the other issue, which is very, very prominent as you were just talking about is the political issue. the questions of this, all of these documents being found, and the whole notion of it happening against the backdrop of the former president. we've talked very much, and we need to continue to talk about the differences in these situations, predominantly in the way that each man handled the classified information once they found out that it was there. but, you know, when you have the current president saying many times over how horrible he thought it was that donald trump had classified information, it is true that politically it mixes things up, it messes things up for dem

we heard from the senate judiciary, the ranking member and the chair of that committee, dick durbin their as the democrat, he said rather than acting as the president's personal lawyer, attorney general merrick garland's appointment of a special counsel assures the american people that this investigation will be done fairly and with integrity. lindsey graham saying we need to fully understand what happened in both cases with trump and biden to make sure our system works in a way that protects our national security interest. but again, the senate is out and has been out for the last couple of weeks since they were sworn in. they'll be back a week from now. but in the house they were in yesterday and kevin mccarthy just had his first news conference. he was very eager to talk about this and the oversight and what republicans, a lot of republicans especially in the house consider a double standard here. >> so beyond this there are other investigations that biden could face on capitol hill, correct? >> reporter: absolutely. that's what house republicans have been promising, what they're wor

. >> here's what admiral john kirby and dick durbin said about the string of discoveries. >> we taket seriously every day. we don't need reminders to know that the proper treatment of classified material is something that we all have to abide by. every single day that you come into work, you really can't do the job here without having access to classified information. >> we can have people in foreign countries who are literally giving us information for the benefit of the security of the united states who risk their lives to do it. and we shouldn't be careless in the documentation that comes from their cooperation. >> matt, more lawmakers and former officials are speaking out. they're saying america's system for handling classified documents is broken and far too many documents are classified. gatekeepers are charged with tracking the papers and they're struggling to keep up. do you agree, and if that's the case, what needs to happen? >> i think there are two problems here, one is that we certainly do overclassify too much information. it's a problem that has bedeviled several admini

joe biden, cooperated, apparently turned over these documents, told dick durbin -- also said the merrick general's handling is thoroughly and professionally. i should also say, anderson, that a lot of democrats are just simply keeping their powder dry. they don't know where this is gonna go, senate democratic leaders and house democratic leaders have been mostly quiet about this, just trying to time to assess what comes next. >> all, right entourage, appreciate. it dries, now former about -- also cnn political correspondent, and inside politics anchor at the phillips. ben, what do you make of this? obviously, there's an investigation underway, democrats are very quick to point out the differences between what happened with the vice president, may or may not have done to what the former president's done, what do you make of that? >> well, i'm proud of joe biden, somebody on his team made it mistake, as soon as we figure, that raises hand, turned his stuff back over, that's where you're supposed to do. can we just be honest here, there's a bigger problem which is the overclassification and
