so lenski, as he always is, this guy, is thankful to the american people, to the united states congresse president. so it was constructive. not a single one of us expected what happened in the oval office to happen. and i have to say that was a mistake. i think it was a miscalculation by the president. bullying an ally of ours makes us look weak. and when we are weak, we are less safe. the american people should make no mistake about that. what happened in the oval office was a complete and utter disaster, and it puts us in a much worse situation, not only with the russians and the ukrainians, but with our european allies. and i hope we can repair repair it. there are people in that room that i think are responsible adults. they weren't speaking out. marco rubio, i voted for him. he got strong bipartisan support in the senate. i wish he would have said something. mike waltz the same. i think he spoke a little bit in the room, but i think it's going to be up to them and other folks in the administration like them to try to put this back together. >> let me ask you about i mean, secretary

who now have the opportunity to make an application to district judges throughout the united states because congress in 2018 enacted an incredible piece of bipartisan legislation called first step act. in that law, it gave all those folks plus everybody who is incarcerated the opportunity to make an application to district court justice such as myself to -- judges to reduce jail time or to be let out of jail. so it has changed the sentencing landscape in the united states of america. and because of that, i have received many of these applications from people who have been incarcerated for many years and i had to make a decision under this new law whether or not i should reduce their jail time or let them out of jail. they were all long-term prisoners, some therefore 20 years, 30 years, and they each made a petition to be let out of jail or reduce jail time so i selected four or six of them for the book because i thought they each would be representative of the dramatic aspects of this new statute and how a judge goes about to decide who shall stay in jail and who shall no longer be in jail. so peter
