EXCERPT:
PHILLIP: “This is the era of DOGE. The idea of reopening a prison that's been closed for many, many decades because it just doesn't make sense to house people there, why?"
JENNINGS: "Well, does it? I don't know. He said he was going to study it. I mean, we have a prison overcrowding problem. You've been fussing about recently him sending American criminals overseas to their prisons. Don't we need more prisons in the United States? What's wrong with this?"
