Well, here's another hot take that Donald Trump's going to hate. President Joe Biden has just

0:04.4

commuted another 2,500 prison sentences for primarily nonviolent drug users who were put in jail

0:13.0

under old laws that impacted disproportionately the black and brown community. Their sentences

0:20.4

have now been commuted. If they're in jail,

0:23.0

they will be let out. And that's a good thing for democracy and for Joe Biden, again, emptying the

1:31.2

and the guy up in Buffalo who shot and killed people, a black and brown community up in

1:37.4

Buffalo in a supermarket. Now, with these 2,500, this is again Joe Biden getting right with

1:44.0

himself, getting right with

1:46.3

and absolving himself of some liability and some responsibility, because back in 1986 or so,

1:55.7

he was a supporter of a series of anti-drug laws that were being proposed by the Democrats, they
