states was attacked on $911.00 you our allies joined us to fight al qaeda and the united states committed to consulting closely with our nato allies and partners on the way forward in afghanistan my dh ministration strongly supports the diplomatic proc the process is underway and to bring an end to this war that is closing out 20 years we remain committed to ensuring that afghanistan never again is provides a base for terrorist attacks against the united states and our partners and our interest our european partners have also stood with us to counter isis just this week nato defense ministers and door significant expanded training and advisory mission in iraq which will be vital to the ongoing fight against isis we cannot allow isis to reopen and regroup and threaten people in the middle east in europe and united states and elsewhere and while the united states is undergoing a thorough review of our own force posture around the world i have ordered the halting of withdrawal of american troops from germany i'm also lifting the cap imposed by the previous administration and the number of u.

the united states i find to be underappreciated. i -- i say at the time not just as an american but empirely. we have our challenges, too we have a lot of them here at home and in the region and one of the changes in the region i public diplomacy, seat asians don't have a good sense of what the united states contributes to their region or the activities the americans undertaking their region, either educational sphere, cultural sphere sparks commercial sphere, security sphere, and some countries doesn't want it nobody that malaysia does a lot with the united states in the security realm but don't want to take about it. same with indonesia. so the u.s. presence is actually underappreciated. it's the footprint is very deep. our soft power appeal, the universities are ongoing attraction to southeast asians and security assistance, nobody comes near the united states in what we provide for most countries in the region. even the commercial realm. american trade is not up there with the chinese. the chineses 587 billion last year. the uni

i don't think there's any perception united states that russia has to clear superiority over the united states and i think you see there's a fairly balanced relationship. in the nuclear streeter and i think you know why do you buy the ministration wants to have negotiations for what we've talked about strategic stability they want predictability they want they want to secure situation in europe in asia and with russia and they want to be able to focus on. other issues to a certain extent of the bilateral relationship the more general. welcome across the uk were all things were considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're talking about the by good ministration and china. ok let's go back to michael in washington let's look at the really the big picture or maybe the questions that the obvious questions that are on people's mind i'm thinking michael right here you know this is just a china does not threaten the united states militarily it doesn't but china does threaten american hegemony and the 1st 75 years the united states has gotten used of its head to monic role in the world and i

they had three years to move the families to the united states. it was expanded a few months later to include the fiancees. and that bill was a three-month temporary visa for the foreign fiancees. they had three months to marry or else they had to return home. it did not begin until after the passage of this bill and the first operation war bride sailed from southampton to new york had 750 war brides on it. the act addressed the chinese wives on a non-quota basis. but they did not get japanese wives yet. that would come in 1947. as you can see, i feel that this was a pretty big impact of world war ii. the queen mary, which used to transport soldiers back and forth to england, i know that my husband's grandfather sailed on the queen mary when he was heading for "d"-day, and training in britain. the queen mary took about 12,886 g.i. war brides to the u.s. from great britain. it was not a pleasant trip. the sea could be rough. my grandfather-in-law said the worst sea legs he ever had was sailing on the queen mary and being sick. these were foreign wo

here in the united states and emphasize that he didn't see the united states taking any additional steps in order to get to those talks but did say that there needed to be a dialogue everybody needed to come together in order for any progress to be made thank you very much kristen salumi in washington thanks christine. meanwhile the u.s. special envoy for climate has governments to do more than the ban minimum on climate change also speaking at the munich security conference john kerry said environmental degradation threatens lives livelihoods and global security is warning comes after the u.s. officially rejoined the paris climate agreement on friday 3 months after its formal withdrawal by the trump administration went into effect a former secretary of state said if efforts to reduce carbon emissions are not stepped up the whole world will suffer the consequences or paris agreement was signed by a $196.00 parties in 2015 coming into force around a year later the united states was the only country to withdrawal it wants to clap but the it wants to cap the global temperature rise to less

states today the united states of overwhelming c. in air power it's likely to remain that way for at least a generation as 2050 it's hard to tell and it would partly depend on whether china feels they need military force but what's very clear is china's very successful in business globally and so i think it's the business rivalry that actually matters is the real substance behind the arguments about national security it's a fact that chinese telephone service and internet services are vastly cheaper than americans and therefore the global competitor and washington knows that telecom internet is the future and if china is winning you know influence in telecom internet around the world that's going to affect the cultural and business environment of the 21st century well and in beijing how do you how do you feel that when james has said there because that's essentially my view because i mean look at him american media elite for the last 12 months and last 18 months it went from the c.c.p. ok and then it went from president xi to the add

states pretty words are a useless when when the united states prevents iranians from importing math masks importing ventilators importing caskets importing back maxine's and or or even importing their machines they need to produce their own back scenes this is this is a regime that has no moral boundaries and the europeans are just there in iran itself arielle itself how much of an urgency is terror to actually get to dispute resolved while the iranians want to the problem to be solved but there's not a dispute the iranians know that the iranian government. did what it had to do it signed an agreement with the united states and the p 5 plus one the iranians gave concessions now and and biden was a part of that administration now biden is behaving like a godfather he wants to gain new concessions and that's not going to work because the iranians know barrie well that if you start appeasing the the americans they will only demand more and more and that is a very dangerous slippery slope so the iranians are saying you stick with the deal abide by the deal we abide by the deal we're not

i speak to you today as president of the united states. at the very start of my administration, and i am sending a clear message to the world, america is back. the transatlantic alliance is back. and we are not looking backwards. we're looking forward together. it comes down to this. the transatlantic alliance is a strong foundation. the strong foundation. it is how our collective security and shared prosperity are built. the partnership between europe and the united states in my view is and must remain the cornerstone of all we hope to accomplish in the 21st century. just as we did in the 20th century. the challenges we face today are different. we are at an inflection point. when i spoke to you as a senator and even vice president, the global dynamics have shifted. new crises demand our attention. we cannot focus only on the competition among countries that threaten to divide the world or only on global challenges that threaten to sink us altogether if we fail to cooperate. we must do both. working in lockstep with our allies and partner

they cannot then substitute oil for the united states, or west africa which has a different chemical composition. or chemical properties. it's a fact to bear in mind. oil is expensive to produce, but it is not scarce. i want to stress this. oil is not scarce. how much do pay for a gallon of gasoline? back home it's about two dollars and 50 cents. i think about the same here right? >> think to yourself a little bit higher. let's say three dollars a gallon, so how many liquids out there in the world, you can buy for three dollars a gallon? go to the supermarket, and tell me how much is gallon of milk cost? how much would a gallon of pepsi, cost? petroleum is very or relatively speaking, rather inexpensive considering how much we use. but the important thing to bear in mind, is that there are high barriers to entry, in terms of finding the oil and producing it, and the economies of scale, the marginal cost of oil goes down the more you produce it. but it is tricky to find and produce oil in the first place. the other point, that i want to make here, is how much oil is there? if i had th

states from holding any office under the united states. and his conduct while president of the united states and him violation of his constitutional oath, faithfully to execute the office of the president of the united states and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care of the laws be faithfully executed. donald john trump engage in high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting violence against the government of the united states in that on january 6, 2021 pursued it to the 12th amendment of the constitution of the united states the vice president of the united states, the house of representatives and the senate met at the united states capitol a joint session of congress to count the votes of the electoral college. in the months preceding the joint session president trump repeatedly issued false statements, asserting that the presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the american p

to be something in the united states should be doing. certainly be a interesting at opening few months full foreign policy from joe biden bruce marks will of pennsylvania senator thanks for your time at that i ought to have a nice evening thank you very much. well let me while the united states will also hold its planned withdrawal of 12000 troops from germany while the pentagon cannot through review of those trump iraq plans the news came just ahead of joe biden's foreign policy speech. getting our global force posture right making sure that our global force posture is consistent with our national security and diplomatic priorities secretary austin will lead a global force posture review and during the pendency of that review will freeze any troop redeployments from germany will always donald trump who ordered the removal of american troops in germany he accused the berlin a fellow nato member of making a fortune off u.s. soldiers and also of not contributing enough to the alliance the plans were slammed by germany which said they weake

so this is where the united states feels it's best to engage and so that's why the white house press secretary says that this is the message that the president will be delivering as he speaks to world leaders. and also this is an issue iran's nuclear deal issue those specs it's come up both in the g. 7 meeting as well as that munich security conference what kind of line do we expect the bible ministrations to take home what we've already seen a very important 1st step being taken by the united states as of thursday it had said that his secretary of state would be participating in the p 5 plus one meeting with iran this is certainly a stark contrast to the actions we saw under donald trump the other thing that we've seen is this kind of olive branch be extended by the united states in terms of undoing another policy of the trumpet ministration with respect to iran and that is lifting those restrictions on iran's mission in new york for the united nations so these are kind of the gestures that we're seeing but at the same time what we're also seeing is a very clear understanding by the

many in the united states believe nato, to have nato -- in the interest of the united states, i am not the only one who is hopeful there will be a number of low hanging fruits which the united states and european allies can pick in coming months, returning to the paris climate record for example, at least offering to enter into a discussion with iranian's, there would be another one, starting arms-control discussions with the russians etc.. there are enormous opportunities waiting to be seized in coming months. >> host: that reflects the thinking here too, early on in the new administration, it would be an effort to harden some of that low hanging fruit. one problem that i do see with us european relations and maybe it is a part of a larger problem, when european countries meet and their prime ministers sign agreements those are seen to a legal force and intergovernmental agreements are binding on successors and so on, the us constitutional system, there really is no way a president can unilaterally legally bind the united states to anything and only the treaty ratification process can

it was the united states that left the deal. it was the united states that violated the deed. it was the united states that punished any country that remained respectful and compliant with the deal. so it is for the united states to return to the deal, to implement its obligations. iran never left the deal. iran is in the deal. iran has reduced some of its commitments in line with the deal. the way to go back to full compliance on the part of iran is for the united states, which has totally deft the legal, to come back and implement its obligations. now, it's clear it's a decision that president biden and his advisers need to take. whether they want to break with the policies of president trump or whether they want to build on his failures, if they want to build on his failures, they will only get failure as a result. >> let me ask you something that, you know, am i reading this correctly. there have been demands in the past that in addition to the united states coming back into the deal, iran should be compensated for the u.s. withdraw. is it fair to read the hamane statement

how did you end up in the united states? -- they end up in the united states? >> my father came here by choice. he wanted to pursue his dreams, have a family in the best country in the world. my mother, unfortunately, was forced to flee very different circumstances. she came with her mother, her sister, left her father behind. he ran a gas station in cuba. he chose tuesday to protect his business and eventually the castro regime came and took everything from him -- he chose to stay to protect his business, and eventually the castro regime came and took everything from him. my parents met in new york. if you were to ever have a greco cuban member of congress, it would be one from the state of new york where so many people come to pursue the american dream. they became small business owners. that was their american dream. and one generation later, i am a member of the united states congress. that is so special and unique, and we need to preserve that for future generations. host: what do you remember your parents saying to you about america and their view of it?

of the united states. i think the mission for the people that are down on the line, the gentle men you see here, that the mission for the most part was always the same. we took an oath to the constitution, not to an administration, and i think preventing a terrorist act certainly after 9/11, 2001 was top early. >> eddie, any thoughts on the haystack issue, the bigger the haystack? >> yes, i agree with both norm and jim, and 100% with everything they both said and not to repeat it but just to add 1. is as is simply not i think back in my mind all those -- our brother and fbi, dea, department of state come all the intelligence agencies, all those individuals are still working doing their job to protect our country. then you throw in the government counterparts that i had the honor to work with for many years down in central america, this was a priority for them. they recognize this was a threat country to the security of the region and their families. that's a theme to keep in mind when you look at this. >>

was predicated upon the united states becoming a huge vacuum cleaner using its trade deficit to suck into its territory the net exports of germany of holland of japan and of course labor of china and creating the world as we know it. whereas the european union think of what happened after 2008 we had created come to think of it just think of this what created the central bank. without a state or a pleasure to have it's back. and 19 treasuries or governments without the central bank to have their back so when the banks of france germany creates portugal ireland collapsed they didn't do what their british did or what the americans did which is to tell the the central bank bring the money to save them no they transferred wealth from the poorest of the europeans to the finances as a result of his who had 12 years of stagnation of austerity you know in europe is just a bismo compared to what the american 6 perience so yes even though there is a social democrat i think if you want a forcing europe doing the good on those when capitalism goes through a sparse room america always a response

united states senators really are different. i have been around the united states senators before. two of them in this room from pennsylvania i like to think are friendly toward me or at least friends of mine when we are not politically adverse. and i have been around their predecessors. and one thing i have discovered, whether democrats or republicans, united states senators are patriots fst. patriots first. they love their country. they love their families. they love the states that they represent. there isn't a member in this room who has not used the term "i represent the great state of" fill in the blank. why? because they are all great, but you think yours is greater than others because these are your people. these are the people that sent you here to do their work. they trusted you with the responsibility of representative government. you know, i feel proud to know my senators. senator casey up here in the back. the senator to the left. it is funny. this is an aside, but it is funny. ever notice how when you are talking or you hear others taing about you when you are home in

as russia said the united states a renewed this u.g.g. arms reduction treaty barely a week before its expiration but the debate on whether the nukes are been made wrapped by the main provider of peace is still less than timely as ever to discuss some of that and now i'm joined by miles pumper a senior fellow at did middlebury institute of international studies at monterey mr pumper it's great to talk to you thank you very much for your time thanks for having me my pleasure now * let's start with the now doubly new start treaty which while being considered one of the last remaining bad jokes of arms control was extended essentially over the phone in a conversation between presidents putin and biden is that a sign of how crucial that treaty is or how on the country in concert crash no it is no i think it's a sign of how how important and essential it is it really is the bedrock of strategic stability these are the most dangerous weapons in the world you're in a continental ballistic missiles or submarine launch ballistic missiles these are

against donald john trump former president of the united states. and note the presence in the chambre of the managers on the part of the house of representatives and counsel for the former president of the united states. mr president jordan leaders recognize. mr president in a moment i will call up a resolution to govern the structure of the 2nd impeachment trial of president of donald john donald john trump it's been agreed to by the house managers the former president's counsel and is co-sponsored by the republican leader it is bipartisan it's our solemn constitutional duty to conduct a fair and honest impeachment trial of the charges against former president trump the gray davis charges ever brought against a president of the united states in american history this resolution provides for a fair trial and i urge the senate to adopt it mr president i send a resolution to the desk on my behalf and that of the republican leader for the organizing of the next phases of this trial kirk or report. senate resolution 47 to provide for related procedures

establishing state relationship to the soviet and united states. it is just that there's no formal diplomatic relationship. it is also serving as a ad hoc embassy. now the other thing that is true about this is that it is a arm up the come enter. that is sort of the nickname of the third communist international. the third communist international is formed in moscow, march of 19 1919, the whole idea of it is to protect the revolution in russia by spreading the revolution abroad. and they are telling exactly what they stand for. we're going to struggle. we want to use whatever means necessary to overthrow the bourgeoisie order and to put in the communist state. even though martins claims that he has no revolutionary activities going on in the borough, when the committee reads his organization reads his business they ultimately carry off two tons of communist propaganda. so again, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that someone is out there to get you. now as the state and local officials are cracking dion on suspected radicals they are also t

the united states, this has come up before, the united states we contribute about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, that means 85% is coming from other countries so how do we prevent the impacts on the united states in our own self-interest from climate change? how do we prevent additional sea level rise and temperature change. we need to do that through our own actions and very importantly by encouraging actions by other countries because 85% of the impacts are coming from other countries. how do we do that. we need international agreements like the paris agreement and in order to us to expect other countries to react in kind we need to lead by example so that's what i would say, senator. finally, in terms of particular net zero goals in order to stabilize the climate we need to get to net zero as quickly as possible. exactly when that is, is depends how technology is sold, and enfold. >> there's nothing enforcing about the paris accord, that's the problem. there's nothing enforcing it whatsoever. >> yeah, the paris accord is based as described earlier on bottom up commitments by co

the united states' first propaganda ministry. wilson turns to george creal, a muck raking kansas city journalist with a little bit of experience in advertising. he will write his book, how we advertised the war. and creal understands right off the bat that on this type of mass, total war you have to mobilize the passion of the american people to get them to willingly sacrifice for the war effort. now, he does that for a couple ways. first and foremost, he's dealing with fear. fear of the enemies foreign. look at the images he is using here. you sure as hell don't want to run into this guy in a dark alley. the american people are starting to believe there are creeping menaces in the world setting out to destroy american society and way of luf. and there is spy mania that goes out throughout the nation. he is also dealing with enemies domestic. the official government policy at this time is 100% americanism saying that half of our problem in the nation going back to the fear of the immigrants are too many people consider themselves

united states when it came to infection levels and deaths? >> one of the differences between influenza and covid-19 is the speed with which it moves. everything with influenza is much faster and from mutation rate, incubation time, how long you shed virus and how long you are sick and so forth. eleven months into it it was almost completely over. by the time you had close to 700,000 americans dead and of course the population was much smaller then and worldwide 50-100 million dead which would be equal to 225-450 million people today and much more lethal pandemic. this is bad enough. >> host: john barry will be with us about 9:30 a.m. taking your phone calls and questions as we talk about the covid-19 pandemic comparison to the great influenza. let me give the phone numbers for folks who are joining the conversation. if you are in eastern or central time, 2,027,480,004, mountain or pacific (202)748-8001, continue with the comparisons, mr. barry. when it comes to the nonmedical pandemic responses to the mask use, lockdowns avoidance of large pu

hi i'm steve clemons and i have a question are iran in the united states destined for collision or for a new deal regarding iran's nuclear program and national ambitions let's get to the bottom line. after general trump told the court on the life support system of relations between washington and tehran president joe biden once that cord plugged back in and there may be a few new signs of life in that complicated relationship 2 days after biden said he wanted to america to restart negotiations on iran's nuclear program iran extend its permission to do some checks on its nuclear facilities for 3 more months so far so good or is it biden also insisted iran go back to the uranium enrichment limits outlined in the original deal from 6 years ago before the u.s. drops its sanctions and iran is also cutting video access to nuclear inspectors it's obvious that neither side trusts the other but who cares about trust what america in iran did was a transaction a nuclear program reduction with inspections in return for sanctions being lifted against iran plus the normalization of economic relation

watching government budgeting terms increase in the united states that's like, unheard of. we were able to make progress at the level that we could control. what we couldn't do was get the president and his white house to take the threat seriously. so within the department of homeland security, i would arguably say and other parts of the government may be the doj, at the national counterterrorism centre, there were efforts to try to confront domestic terrorism. but we ran into roadblocks in terms of everything that we needed to do. but thankfully, the biden administration is picking up where we couldn't make progress. and they are starting to make the progress that is needed. right. isn't the assault on the capital ofjanuary six, 2021 proof that in your, period from early 2017 through to your resignation in the spring of 2020, proof that you as a counterterror achieve focused on the internal threat in the united states failed miserably. because we now appreciate that during that time all sorts of groups, you could call them the proud boys, the oath keepers, you could refer

the united states withdrew from that. from the u.s. perspective, from the western perspective, it has a reputation that has been damaged by having withdrawn from ideal it signed, when no other party, particular iran was breaking the deal at the time. it was fully in compliance and remain in compliance for another year. on the one hand, i think from the u.s. perspective, as a returning to the united nations as a leader of the world, that is something that you can consider. because it has damaged its reputation. on the other, the iranians do not just have the united fades as an option to consider in its economic, financial, and oil dealing. it is very much involved with china. there is a 25 year deal that is being hammered out right now. it is close to russia, and they have been able to strengthen that arrangement and alliance. nonetheless, from their perspective it has solidified a number of exchanges. if the united states does not take the advantage that it has, to negotiate and go back in and take the jcpoa further, the direction iran

into the united states. so, there was a little drama sometimes with these were brides in the courts. the impact of war brides is to me, they culture that they brought to the united states. it's also the beginning of hyphenated in ethnic identities. we are now not just an american, if you're married you are japanese american. you could be a german american, and anglo american so so many of them began to hyphenate these names and brought this culture to the united states that we may have not seen before. in a different kind of way. they didn't quite say, i'm german, i'm german america now, i'm a citizen. and i'm going to assimilate and i'm going to do that by also bringing my ideas and my culture and to the marriage and into the united states and raise their children that way. so it brought in a lot of views of foreign countries hand in immigration as well. and so, it is something to be studied. also, hollywood could not fail to capture on the war bride making several movies about war brides during the forties

january 6th, will live as the day of infamy in the history of the united states of america. the failure to convict donald trump will live as a vote in history of the united states senate. five years ago, republican senators might become of their party of donald trump became tha presidential nominee. just look at what has happened. look at what republicans have been forced to defend. look at what republicans have chosen to forgive. the former president tried to overturn the results of the legitimate election and provoked an assault on our own government. in wellau over half the senate republicanan conference decidedo condone it. the most despicable act that any president has ever committed, and the majority of republicans cannot summon the courage or the morality to condemn it. this trial, was not about to the country of hersi party, even knw if . this was about choosing country over donald trump. and 43 republican members chose trump. they chose trump. should be await on their conscious today. and it shall be await on their conscience in the future. as sad as that fact is an

states that is determined to destroy the power and influence of the united states and its allies and when it comes to china 1 1. it's a much more much softer approach you know china is a competitor. and why yes it does talk about on car on the ins on the best identifies china as just a competitor of the moon and you want to think it's really interesting here is that it seems to me and you and i have not as many times that it has russia this is this is russia gate absolutely leading into warm policy because he's and this is a domestic issue in the united states then and then when china will you have the n.b.a. and you have disney and it's so much more complicated because his comments about china where i mean not this was the it was muddled i mean i really didn't know what kind you. want to make me go back to market but this is an administration that is next more distant time russia and china see gather as competitors adversaries even enemies in the case of russia this is something and an incoming administration has never done before go ahead yes i mean the sudden a big contrast with t

the american national security depends on a sovereign united states of america. we have to know who's coming in and out of our country. we're a compassionate people. everyone all across the world wants to come by here in america, but we have -- be here in america, but we have a responsibility to the people here in the united states to make sure that we have secure borders, that we know who's coming in and out of our country and that a we regulate our immigration in a way that preserves jobs and prosperity and wages for the people who are here in the united states. maria: my thanks to former secretary of state mike pompeo. >>> it is super bowl weekend, and there is a lot of money on the line. with a record number of americans placing their bets online, the ceo of draftkings is online, the ceo of draftkings is here. for some of us, our daily journey is a short one when you drive less, you pay less with pay per mile insurance from allstate you've never been in better hands allstate click or call for a quote today time to start brushing with parodontax toothpaste? if

things that happen in the united states impact the world. things that happen around the world impact the united states. the united states when we think about the civil rights movement, it was a movement against colonialism. they wanted liberation in india and asia and latin america and the caribbean. it wanted to end apartheid in south africa. we saw all these different networks of activists and human rights and civil rights organizations. certainly, malcolm x and martin luther king jr. were two iconic black civil rights and black power activists who visited the middle east, who visited europe, who visited africa. that is not surprising. the depth and breadth and intensity is really extraordinary, but we definitely have historical precedent. susan: there has been a number of times since the 1960's when there have been movements for social justice and protests in the united states. what do you think are the elements that make this transformational this time around? dr. joseph: i think covid-19, the pandemic and the fact that african-americans

the largest group in the united states will be entered the war in the unite states are german-americans. in the first speech he gives to congress after the decoration of war, the -- the declaration of war, he makes it clear the government will not tolerate any disloyalty. while he is pointing here at the germans, saying, if this disloyalty comes up, it will be repressed with sternness. he is also thinking about labor radicals. it is interesting, that within a week of the u.s. declaration of war, one of the first things the government does is establish the committee on public information, the u.s.'s first propaganda ministry. a kansas city muckraker with a little experience in advertising writes a book called how we advertise the war. he understands why right off the bat that on this type of mass total war, you have to mobilize the passion of the american people, to get them to willingly sacrifice for the war effort. he does that for a couple of ways. first and foremost, he is dealing with fear. fear. of the enemies foreign. look at the images he is using here. you sure as hell do not wa

i want you to know the united states will do our part. we will stand with you, fight for our shared values. will meet the challenges of this new moment in history. america is back. so let's get together and demonstrate to our great, great grandchildren when they read about this that democracy, democracy, democracy functions and works. in together there is nothing we can't do. let's get working. thank you all very much. guy: delivering his first international speech at the munich security conference. talking about the need to rebuild trust. leaning heavily on his atlanticist ideas that we know he falls so dear, but then talking about the security architecture of recommitting to nato, but then moving into some more difficult areas, the relationship with russia and china. alix: right, talking about, we are going to work together, common goals, but it is russia and china that will be the difficulties. it doesn't look like the u.s. will sanction the companies building the nord stream 2 pipeline, but that definitely has to be a topic of the con

of the united states. he sat right where senator carper is sitting now. he found this point so compelling that he felt compelled to speak out on it, and during the trial, he concluded that the constitution must allow the impeachment and trial of people and parties who are not civil officers. and the only group that could possibly encompass was former officials like belknap, and of course, here like president trump. and just so we're clear, and full disclosure, this is another argument that was not addressed by president trump in his rebuttal. and we know why they didn't. because their argument doesn't square with the plain text of the constitution. there is one provision that president trump relies on almost exclusively. article ii, section 4. i'm sure you'll see it when they present their arguments. they'll argue that the language you see on the screen somehow prevents you from holding this trial, by making removal from office an absolute requirement. but, again, where does the language say that? where do
