you have to legalize it. we cannot keep spending money putting choppers up for job security for cops to cut down plants. it is a losing battle. host: i want to let chris respond. guest: great points, it shows it does not matter what side of the aisle you are on. we lost that war. when you look at marijuana listed as a schedule one drug with heroin as one of the most dangerous drugs in the world. it makes no sense. our government is behind the times. have canada legalizing marijuana relationally at the federal level this year. they have already done it with medical. the u.s. is falling behind on this. other countries are legalizing medical marijuana at a rapid rate federally. we are way behind on this. we could improve public health and are a lot of benefits. there are some negatives. as you said, hopefully, the industry and states and the federal government will help address the negatives and turn them into positives. host: fred is a supporter from michigan, what is your question? caller: i have a comment. he

it tobacco kills more alcohol destroys more yet legal in zimbabwe says it is not legalized and i don't think that will change anytime soon the use of it is a serious offense meanwhile down in new zealand and the shares his thoughts does not make things safer having a heavy handed war or no harm drugs but of course right here in the us now on a remains illegal at the federal level and is considered to be on par with heroin but eight states have legalized it to varying degrees often even confusion of the gap between state and federal law in texas it is illegal a legislature did not pass to change that status illinois will vote or measures this spring may see a change and here in the district of columbia it is legal to have and use marijuana for recreational use most recently on january the first california became the latest state to legalize recreational marijuana but just a few days later the attorney general sessions announced a change in policy here with us today to discuss the issue we have penny president of the minority cannabis a business association and founder of budding solutio

i mean, we live in a country where alcohol is legal. guns are legal. we're allowed to have swimming pools in our backyards without lifeguards. i like to stress the point of the diversity of strains that exists nowadays. this is not your grandma's marijuana. there are strains available now to help with all manners of ailments that helps you increase appetite or lose weight. anti-depressants and the list goes on and on. host: no, it's not your grandfather's marijuana and a lots of casesen the marijuana products that are made, whether it is to be smoked or edible are a lot stronger than the marijuana that, you know, folks did in the past in college. is there any concern that some of this might be really, really stronger than the people who use this expect it to be? caller: yeah, i agree. there is a lot of concern but that's not a cause for criminalization. i would suggest begin with yourself before you start using. drug use, i find it a symptom of people's underlying problems. and, you know, that's another thing. in terms of the strength of the drugs, yea

corrine, it's legal in colorado and now legal in california.y did a big ribbon cutting ceremonies and lovely moments all over television that night. tell us about your own family tragedy as difficult as it is if you don't mind. >> sure. my daughter jennifer had just graduated from college. she was 22-year-old on the verge of a wonderful career. she wanted to fight drugs. she began her first job. not in her field of study, but she was called into work as a district manager into one of the stores when an alrm off. as we went in, she was t-boned in an intersection by a man traveling 82 miles per hour through a red light. her car was pushed across the road through shrubbery and the doors of a building and the building on collapsed on top of her car. my daughter lost her life that night. the man that did this was uninjured, but he was high on medical marijuana. he was given a very light sentence of just 2 years in jail. only spent 17 months there. now he is out and off parole. >> laura: it's infuriating. all we hear about is how marijuana is the onl

legal recreational pot.was the first state where recreational pot went on sale with long lines and 2014. colorado's experience, still drives the national debate. recreational pot its now legal in eight states, plugs d.c. 21 additional states, now allow marijuana, for medical use. you might think by now the debate over marijuana, good or bad would be diminishing. not so. even as more states are allowing marijuana, opponents now think they have their best chance ever of shutting all of this down. this past week, attorney general, jeff sessions, told the nation's u.s. attorneys, they're free to prosecute those pot in states even where it is legal. a reversal of the policy under president obama. it is unclear who if any u.s. attorneys will change their hand off attitude about legal marijuana. and, sessions drew angry fire from his own party, including colorado's republican senator, cory gardner who said, sessions went back on a promise to leave colorado's legalized pot business alone. >> this is about a decision

we legalized three million people. we didn't take into consideration a whole industry of false documents where if i go to an employer and show him a false document and they believe it's a true document, then they are not guilty of hiring me even though i'm technically a nondocumented worker because i'm using a fraudulent document. so then what happens when you reward illegality? you get more of it, and so instead of three million people that we legalized, we now have 11 million american issue is what i have been -- 11 million person issue, is what i have been told. so we don't want to repeat those mistakes, and that's why besides legalizing daca kids, border security is so important and doing away with chain migration because one of the bombers in new york was over here on chain migration, the terrorists. he was just about ready to -- he didn't kill anybody, but he injured a lot of people. and then we have another person who was over here on a diversity visa that killed eight people and injured 12 driving down the stre

how do we go about building the legal campaign. kimberle crenshaw: we're going to dream a possibiliy and we are going to do it with craft, we're going to strategize, we're going to do it with finesse, in these southern courtrooms. narrator: soon after he began work in new york, thurgood marshall opened a new front on the attack on separate but equal. in the segregated schools of the south, black teachers were paid less than white teachers. and in december of 1936 marshall began a series of cases in maryland to change the separate but unequal nature of teachers pay. joseanderson: teacher's pay cases presented a great opportuniy for the naacp becauseteacher's salaries were set in the language of the statute, or they had a pay scale that was printed out on a pay schedule that was public information. in fact, teacher pay cases were plessy violations printed in the written law. narrator: marshall began dozens of teacher pay cases throughout the south, opening new naacp branches wherever he went. making loyal members of the black teacher

is that legal? is that illegal? these are things that the trump presidency has resurrected as questions in washington that are thins that we have to do a lot of thinking and research and reporting about because they're not things that we've seen previously, at least not in recent times. >> so that point, you further report tonight that a deputy operating in the white house counsel's office, mr. dillon, essentially the way you describe it, deliberately misled the president, allowed the president to continue to believe at least for a time mistakenly that it might not be within his power to fire the fbi director. that's a remarkable anecdote, a remarkable story. is he still working in the white house counsel's office. >> he still works in the white house counsel's office. he believed that if the president fired comey, he would imperial the presidency and cast a shadow because the justice department would have to look whether this is obstruction of justice. he turned the out to be right. but in the process, what he did

is that legal? is that illegal? these are things that the trump presidency has redone research d reporting about because they are not things wii see've seen previously. >> you further report a deputy, mr. dillon, essentially the way you describe it dia lib -- deliberately mislead the president. that's a remarkable an in this case -- anecdote. is he still working in the white house counsel's office. >> if the president fired comey, he would imperial the presidency and cast a shadow because the j justice department would have to look whether this is obstruction of justice. in the process, he initially told trump you need a reason to fire the fbi director. you need cause to do that but what happened is when he turned around and asked the office to do research, they said you don't need a reason. dillon didn't do anything about it. he didn't tell the president he had subsequent meetings with him. he never came back and creskandd the record. eventually the president was able to figure out he would do it without cause and

was legally authorized, it met the kurpt coded.we have many nonconforming uses. >> i was going to go to that second portion of that. >> and that's why the focus was on trying to find some documentation on such an authorization or permit. >> what was in the r 2 zoning? you're saying it didn't allow parking, but what was in it. >> it's very similar to the rh 2 that we have now, in the sense that it was a low density residential district that required a conditional use authorization for most nonresidential uses, whether they're kind of schools, parking lots, other things like that. i don't have the list, but generally not public commercial. >> no? it wouldn't have allowed it. >> if it did, it was very, very limited. again, the r 2 district is, from a use perspective is very similar to the rh 2 district that we have know. primarily, all the use permits require general use authorization, although some types of parking lots are permitted. a public parking lot, which is open to public, you pay to park, that's the definition of kind of a r

-legal. ...completely legal, because, yeah, i got like -- my mom's like your typical jewish mother. she literally would have parked herself in my driveway, you know. -you're not going. locked herself to the gate, you know. "you're not doing this anymore!" if you're watching, mom, relax. your son has come a long way since he headed west 27 years ago. we've already passed a couple greenhouses. this one we planted yesterday. okay. what's it cost to put up a greenhouse like that, $50,000? you're looking at about 50. the feds may say it's illegal, but the county is happy to collect its share. so how do they tax you? they're taxing us on square footage right now. lemonis: honeydew has more than 250,000 feet of growing space and a tax bill to match. you got to pay half up front, so they split it in two installments just like your property taxes. whether you are growing or not? whether i pull this crop off or not, i paid the county $140,000 to have the permits to do it. -for the rights to do it? -for the rights to do it. and then come november, i owe them another $140,000. a license to grow

those workers who are here legally and following our rules, came in legally while the president talks about giving instant legal status to the daca people. if you are a worker in silicone valley, your kid when they turn 18 has to go home. >> laura: how is that america first? catering to silicone valley, how is that america first? mexico doesn't allow anyone to move and become citizens. france doesn't. there is a legal process. it must be respected. steve, if the president sits down with the democrats tomorrow and at the end of all of this, they decide to cut a deal and it's a down payment on a wall. i heard that thrown around. 1.6-million dollars gets you nothing. maybe chain migration stays out. what does the base do? >> the president to his credit has been bold and consistent. >> laura: i think he has been. we will see if he stays that way. >> to get voters to show up in 2018 and 2020 and he wants to do something they don't like like daca, he has to give them things. an end to chain migration. it's not clear that congress won't flip. >> laura: build a wall and mexico will pay for it

california legalized it more than 20 years ago. there's a surplus, and some of that surplus crosses state lines illegally. shouldn't there be some kind of strict federal controls in place? >> well, there are federal controls in place. people that move cannabis out of the state of california can be prosecuted for transporting it in interstate commerce, and prosecutions like that continue. they've backed off from prosecuting the dispensaries in california that are adhering to the law, but if you try to move the product out of the state, you do risk exposure to some very significant federal penalties. >> and president obama, under his administration, told u.s. attorneys to explicitly focus on those interstate traffickers. what attorney general sessions has done is taken away that type of prioritization. so he could actually be fomenting more in state trafficking if they start going after these lawful regulated actors. >> david, what about the danger of people driving on the roads under the influence of marijuana? where are we right no

it is difficult to weigh legal advice, because the give legal advice before proceedings.he mantle. the context for all of this, and he mentioned it, is that he knows others, including some ofjohn worboys's victims, are trying to ta ke worboys's victims, are trying to take legal proceedings to challenge the parole board was my decision. he would be clearly supportive of that. but it is not a little awkward for him. i think he would support it, i think the public would support it. various groups will have standing to bring thatjudicial review, but the interesting question here is, we just don't know what the reasons the board had to come to the decision. i'm interested to know for example whether he is privy to some of those findings and reasons that we do not know. i think the long—term questions for the justice secretary is whether there is any questions about transparency for the parole board and when the public have a right to know the basis on which pa role right to know the basis on which parole is given. it is clear and 12 from the review into all of this that that p

but also the legal situation. they tried to solve all of it. today what were trying to do is solve just the legal immigration system. the legal situation is this, 1.1 million green cards are given out that's up from 300,065 when this bill was first passed, 300,000 to 1.1 million today. we believed if we got this done the next step would be to move to the temporary work visas and those need desperate work. some categories need to be increased another streamlined. that might need it to be a new category created. and then we need to deal with those that are here illegally. those are here illegally came under a temporary work visa or student visa or some other form of temporary visa. were one of the few countries that cannot track overstates. but were trying to bring focus to an issue that will stop this continuing evolution of immigration problems. i believe there's a better way. there's a proposition to do that. there is a meeting last week on tuesday the president started out the conversation you just heard senator

i came here, although legally, i assimilated. i am an american. i wife came here legally. she is chinese. we contribute to this country. my wife works for the state department. racial andt is more this president has done nothing but be more divisive about it. host: we showed a couple of tweets from the president from the past 24 hours. here he is talking a little more in depth about it at his last cabinet meeting on december 20, and his outlook for immigration reform and homeland security as well. importantly the funding and closing the loop holes that undermine our enforcement, and we will get rid of chain migration and the visa lottery program. we have a lottery program where we take in a lottery of people from other countries, and some places we are bringing in some very bad people. through chain migration and the man that ran over people on the west side highway in manhattan a month ago, two months ago, he came in through the visa lottery. we do not want this group of people anymore. people met him in the neighborhood and they all said he was horrible, nasty, mean, wou

administration's decision to end the daca program, these young people are at risk of losing their legal status and in fact face deportation from the only home that most of them have ever known. and that home is the united states of america. this is one of the great moral issues of our time and it is an issue that must be dealt with now as part of the budget negotiations. it cannot be kicked down the road any longer. we must pass the dream act now as part of the current budget negotiations. mr. president, in the last six years since the daca program was established, these young people, again people who were brought to this country as infants in many cases, were finally able to breathe al sigh of relief -- breathe a sigh of relief. for the first time in their lives, they could walk the streets of this country without fear, without worrying about being arrested, without worrying about being deported. think about what it means to live in this country every single day knowing that at any moment you could be arrested or deported. and what daca finally did is give these 800,000 young people a

the duration of it, the legal parameters and the president's legal team also considering a range of options, including compromises that would include the possibility of answering written questions, or even according to one source, submitting an affidavit. important to stress, steph, that these talks are preliminary and ongoing. again, we don't have a clear sense of the time line about how this is all unfolding. we can tell you that president trump was asked directly about this over the weekend while he was at camp david. would he, in fact, meet with special counsel robert mueller and his team personally if he was asked to do so. the president said yeah and reiterated something we've heard from him rvigorously in the pas. there has been no collusion between the president's campaign and the russians. it wasn't clear if that "yeah" was a definitive answer to the question or an acknowledgment to the fact the question had been asked. my colleagues and i, hallie and peter, will be out on the south lawn shouting questions at the president today when he departs for nashville. that's when he is goin

and legal marijuana hits the shelves in california recreational users can now buy the drug without fear of arrest as america's most populous state. i'm sorry kelly great to have you with us clashes overnight in iran have left at least nine people dead the anti-government protests have been raging for nearly a week in tehran and around the country in total several hundred people have been arrested and at least twenty have been killed according to state media iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei appeared to condemn the arrest in a post on his official website in which he accused iran's enemies of meddling in the country. and let's talk a little bit more about that crackdown we are joined by a.f.p. correspondent eric randolph was joining us with the latest from tehran and eric as we've heard iranian state television reporting nine more people killed overnight more than one hundred protesters arrested what are we to make of the authorities response to the unrest and how big of a threat are these protests to the regime. well this is the biggest test the regime has faced since there w

and then on the question of legal immigration, your bill would limit legal immigration by 25%. the handout says. can you explain why you would want to do that, and especially given economic reason, and given that falling birth rates is something that concerns economists and something the congressional budget office says would lower our growth without immigration. >> we want to end chain migration, except for immediate family members. spouse and minor children. and then move to a merit-based system. when we move to the merit-based system, some of those green cards that are eliminated from the extended family chain migration would be available for that purpose. and when we eliminate the visa lottery program today, we immediately transfer those green cards to the employment-based categories, which have long waiting list right now to speed up green cards. but this is not as martha has already said, this is not a comprehensionive immigration reform bill. yesterday the white house said there would be further phases. we anticipate that in our bill by noting that the president wants to
