Again, George, if you want to talk to the former president about his views or his message, you can have him on your show.

It`s your party that voted in lockstep for the FIRST STEP Act that let thousands of violent felons back on the street who have now committed innumerable violent crimes.

No, I have not. But I know that the response that that marshal received was that the denial of representation was not in the interest of the United States. No more----
