Joe Biden is going to challenge Tyson to a push up contest.
Someone please explain to Mike that the ONLY people in federal prison for marijuana charges are:
(1) People who pleaded down from a more serious felony.
(2) People with prior felony convictions.
(3) People who violated the terms of their parole or probation.
(4) People involved in organized crime.
