JACKIE IS HERE WITH THE DAILY 
BEAST, ROBERT WITH "THE 
WASHINGTON POST."
WE ARE AT A RARE MOMENT.
THE LAST SIX AND A HALF YEARS, 
BOMB MAY SAID APPLE PIE IS GOOD,
THE REPUBLICANS FEEL COMPELLED 
TO SAY, NO IT ISN'T.
IF THE REPUBLICANS SAY, GOOD 
MORNING, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, 
THE DEMOCRATS SAY, NO, IT ISN'T.
YET, THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
REFORM, THERE'S A CONSENSUS.
WE HAVE PEOPLE IN FOR LONG 
SENTENCES.
THE PRESIDENT, FOR THE FIRST 
TIME A SITTING UNITED STATES 
PRESIDENT GOES INTO A FEDERAL 
PRISON.
WHY IS THERE CONSENSUS ON THIS 
NOW?
IT'S NOT JUST THE REPUBLICAN 
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ACROSS THE 
SPECTRUM, INCLUDING THE HOUSE 
SPEAKER.
THE GUY THAT CRITICIZES 
PRESIDENT OBAMA EVERY DAY, HE 
SAYS HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE 
THEIR OWN PACKAGE.
LET'S GET TO IT.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN 
PRISON THAT, FRANKLY, IN MY 
VIEW, DON'T NEED TO BE THERE.
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE IN 
THERE, THEY ARE WHAT I'LL CALL 
FLIMSY REASONS.
I THINK IT'S TIME TO REVIEW THE 
PROCESS THEY HAVE AND I'M 
LOOKING FORWARD TO PUTTING THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE FLOOR.
>> IT'S A BIG, IMPORTANT ISSUE 
FOR THE COUNTRY TO DEAL WITH.
GIVEN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH,
A RARE MOMENT OF BIPARTISANSHIP.
>> I THINK WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO 
IT, BOEHNER SAID IT THERE, IT'S 
EXPENSIVE.
IN PART BECAUSE OF MANDATORY 
MINIMUM SENTENCES.
BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF THE 
SUBSTANCE FOUND ON THE PERSON.
IF THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN 
PRISON THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
YOU HAVE SEEN THEM.
THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE SENATE 
FOR A WHILE.
THE ORGANIZATION OF LAWMAKERS IS
INTERESTING.
IT'S LIKE RAND PAUL, COREY 
BOOKER, MIKE LEE.
>> TEA PARTY GUYS.
>> YEAH.
>> TEA PARTY GUYS, LIBERALS.
THEY GET THERE FOR DIFFERENT 
REASONS.
CONSERVATIVES SAY IT COSTS TOO 
MUCH.
NO MATTER HOW THEY GET THERE, 
LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO DO 
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
>> IT DOES.
THE POLITICS OF IT FOR THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY, THEY ARE 
FASCINATING.
LOOK AT GOVERNOR CHRISTIE AND 
SPEAKER BOEHNER, THEY ARE 
AGAINST THE LEGALIZATION OF 
MARIJUANA.
THEY WANT TO BE A LAW AND ORDER 
PARTY, BUT THEY KNOW THE 
ELECTORATE IS CHANGING AND THEY 
WANT TO APPEAL TO MINORITY 
GROUPS WHO ARE IMPRISONED.
THEY WANT TO APPEAL TO
